I just checked back after several hours of grading papers. Thanks, everyone, for all the maiming offers and evil glares and general "Evil Boy" thoughts. I really don't feel heartbroken, more...irritated, irked and slightly hurt. So I guess it wasn't luuuv.
On the funny side, one of my students wrote, "In the biggening of Roberto Clement's career..." and I about broke something important LMAO thinking of Homer S. and "embiggened." But I feel as if I am working (hard) towards my goal which inspired me to teach h.s. English, namely making sure freshman English comp students were funtionally literate.
Although right now, I am leaning towards thinking that stopping U.S. debt and the Iraq war would be much easier than teaching writing.
Hot shower good. Back still hurts from hunching over papers with a pencil and cursing.
Um. I had a weird moment earlier. I just found out that my landlord/friend Peter's best female friend is David Boreanaz's ex-wife. Peter and David are apparently still good friends.
Two degrees of separation. Weird.
I did much skipping and skimming.
Happy Birthday, Vortex! I'm sorry to hear about bad backs, lost luggage, deadbeat ummfriends, etc. I wish all the Bitches what they richly deserve. You know, good things.
I'm already an hour late for the bed time I should have so I better put myself down.
And welcome back, libkitty!
And you'll be lounging around in bikinis whenver possible I take it?
Kristin, the last email I got from you was on May 5.
Trudy, weird. I sent you one on the 9th and another one on the 14th. I'll try re-sending. Same email, right?
Cereal:
Resent. My mac account is fine in receiving but seems to be flaky in sending. The emails likely will come from the yahoo account.
Kristin, that's weird, but kind of nifty.
I just discovered I am out of eyeliner and mascara. What's good that can be bought at Target?
Max Factor mascaras are generally pretty good. I like their 2000 Calorie Mascara, and have been using it off and on for over a decade. Eyeliner, I'd probably go Revlon, but it's been so long since I used a pencil that I'm pulling that one out of my rear. Allyson likes the purple liquid Wet n' Wild, and I had decent luck with it, so there's that option.
Thanks Plei! And Ailleann, too!

So apparently our ancestors were human chimp hybrids. The real humans died out. Y'know, that explains a lot.
t Just to be clear: I'm not accidentally distorting the meaning of that story. I'm doing it on purpose.
