I'm telling you, shrift, we need a good kerfuffle. We can bring up silverware or pythons in a squash court or whatever.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Kat, I shall entertain you on how the Queen Bee (and general PITA) at the middle school my sister teaches at got her come uppance.
They were playing flag football for PE. She dove for a flag on a guy and accidentally grabbed his crotch. Like, full on handful of this kids crotch. He freaked out and started yelling at her.
She was so upset and mortified about it that she peed her pants in the middle of the field.
The PE teacher realized what happened and made all of the other kids go inside and left QB sit on the field. As soon as all the other kids were inside, PE teacher let her go home.
My sister said that she has been a lot more humble and less meany to her fellow classmates and a lot more receptive to her teachers.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

HA! That's both terrible and hysterical. There's some sort of lesson about being grabby of the ball(s) though.
The last day of school is a torture ritual.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm exhausted from Wednesday's cafoufle.
Hey, what's going on with travel through O'Hare? I thought I heard something but can't find anything. I'm traveling through there tomorrow.

fogged in, I thought.
Which begs the question, what airports ARE open?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Does that mean, Jesse, you aren't leaving until tomorrow?
Ha ha. No, I'm leaving in five minutes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So who's not doing any family stuff for x-mas? My family celebrated last weekend, so I'm doing absolutely nothing over the weeked. Well, maybe I'll do some work on a project for some independant consulting I'm doing. But moslty, while most folks are thinking about the Baby Jesus, I'll be reading this book: Losing Our Heads: Beheadings in Literature and Culture Because I'm weird.

I know.
This is my sister's first permanent classroom/school. She keeps calling me and asking me if it's ok to sometimes hate a particular kid and/or their parents. I said from what I knew of other teachers, it's expected. You can't love all of your kids. Sometimes, there are just asshole kids with asshole parents.
Is that true?
