There's a Dirty Jobs marathon this weekend.
I just went into Staples to buy blank DVDs and came out with $134 worth of Stuff. Some of it qualifies as presents. ::tries to look virtuous, mostly fails::
I shouldn't shop before I've had any breakfast.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Shrift, if you find someone to cancel today, will you please have them cancel today for me too? I have to occupy 12 year olds for 6 hours without any text books, lesson plans, without a TV or videos. And trust me, my personality not sparkling enough to sustain their desire for constant entertainment.
Thing I'd rather do? Lie in bed, eat grilled cheese sandwiches and watch the animated Tick on DVD.

Make them make up a story. One person tells one sentence, then it's the next person's turn, and so on. Make the most disruptive one write it down.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Wow, last night I was in the bar of the local Thai place picking up take-out soup, and a party of 14 college kids came in with no reservation and were surprised (and pouty) that they couldn't be seated quickly in a restaurant that has space for about 30 customers total. Hope they enjoyed their pad thai and currys for breakfast this morning.

Dear god, yes.
Okay. Who has the authority to cancel today? I'll even make the phone calls.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sorry, I don't have his phone number.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am really moving my office today! And I don't have to work tomorrow!
I don't mind today so much.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I don't mind today either, because I AM ON WINTER BREAK! Yay me!
Of course, I still have to work. I have to go round and pick up all my gear today and I have to sort through the storage unit and I have a ton ton ton of paperwork and administrative stuff to catch up on, but I don't have to teach.
Okay, I still have to teach, but that's private lessons, which somehow doesn't count, because I'm getting paid for it.
Okay, that's still work. I'm not on break.
