I would not venture out with the kids after that morning, unless there was a drop-off child watch involved with the outing.

Owen made the decision for me by falling asleep on the couch. I guess getting your face bitten and cutting a finger (not to mention dripping blood up and down the entire staircase) is enough to wear a kid out.

Liv just dumped her chocolate milk out. If I can get her to sleep before Owen wakes up, it means I've won the lottery.

wikipedia says you are correct Sophia - [link]

Speaking of Muppets, today, the Chicago Tribune refers to a comment made by some Irish musician PTB who says that "Danny Boy" should be banned for being too depressing.

Well, I say, watch this!

So what are people doing this weekend?

I haven't really thought beyond the Y on Sat and Church on Sun.

Maybe I shuld try to get the cats to the vet and a swing by the not-our-library that has a book mac wants.

Did you ever delgate a boring, repetitive task to someone-- a task that, though boring and repetitive, needs to be done accurately and is very important. And then you don't check on them for awhile. And then you need the information quickly and realize that they have screwed up a key componant which means you have to go through each and every entry, copy, etc for the past three months making sure they are accurate.

All. The. Time.

And then I get chewed out by the Big Boss for not delegating more often.

I had an unpleasant incident with the rude-but-talented guy in two of my classes this morning and I don't know what to think about it. He sits directly behind me -- I was leaning back, with plenty of room to spare between me and the front of his desk, and idly scratching the back of my scalp as one does when one is preoccupied and thinking.

"That's DISGUSTING" he said loudly. "That's unhygienic! Stop doing that!"

2 questions, because I'm still upset -- on a 1-10 scale, how disgusting is it for somebody to scratch or fuss with their clean scalp/hair? My second question is how much of an asshole is he, but the first answer depends on it....

And now I've gone to a ... place. You people.

I went there too, sadly.

Theo...if it's disgusting then I am a sewer of disgusting disgustingness. I scratch my head when I think often.

Two: He is a ginormous fuckmonster of an asshole and should be shot in the face immediately. Please see to that.

Theo - he's a tool and probably has no friends.

He should be thankful to sit behind you clean and lovely head.

"That's DISGUSTING" he said loudly. "That's unhygienic! Stop doing that!"

That's not disgusting. This is disgusting: When I was in my 9th grade English class, sometimes I would retract the lead in my Eversharp mechanical pencil, run the tip through my scalp and then extend the lead until it pushed out the tiny white cylinder of scalp gunk....

I think I only did that a couple of times. Then I noticed a kid watching me, which made me realize how gross that must look so I stopped doing it.

I've been too ashamed to ever tell that story to anyone. Except to you people....
