Whee, it's Friday!
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
...fwiw, I would NEVER have supposed that I'd enjoy teaching munchkins. If you'd asked me, I'd have put money on me teaching 17 year olds and above - and, I confess, I do vaguely intend to teach big kids at some point. But...man, I do love my job. My little buggers are hilarious, and terribly endearing, and it's terrific being able to see tangible progress at such a rate. Plus, not so much with the jaded or hormonal at age 6. And way more enthusiastic about talking like a pirate/discovering how things work.
This morning one of my kids showed up at school with (a) a load of little baggies each containing a slice of sugar&butter-coated toast (which is sold on street stalls in the morning - basically cinnamon toast sans cinnamon), which he proceeded to give out to his friends, including me, and (b) a sock puppet which he had made with his mum for voluntary homework, after we'd discussed how to make sock puppets and drew our own designs.
(I did ask him whether it was a special day - birthday or something - but apparently not. We named it Toast Day, and said thank you.)

I shall pretend that somehow your adorable student sensed it was my third wedding anniversary and celebrated appropriately. We love toast!

My student didn't show up, and I've just been working while waiting. And it just occurred to me that I could have grabbed some lunch (and am now STARVING), but now only have nine minutes till the next student. Seriously considering putting a note on the door and running over to get food. HUNGRY.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
A Toast!
To the McWaringles!
And, to cute little kids who bring toast for everyone!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The whole ride to work I was remembering the scary Santa room in Universal's Asylum maze last year and imagining the insane christmas music ND will install in Beverly Hills. Oh yes! There will be pipe organs! Mwah ha ha ha!

I hope VW has put a note up and gone to get lunch.
It's very odd ot read that as I sit here at a coffeeshop and eat a scone and coffee....
Hey, meara, are you going to need the Shopper's Tour of the City in the next few days?
YES! Sent you an email an hour or two ago...whee!
