Pick one up on the way home from work. Hell, get two!
yep, my thoughts exactly. Then she offered to give me directions to the local distributor. Yeah, sure, I'll get enough for all my students.
None of it means a damn thing.

Gosh darn my "y" key!!!!
The yogurt just kind of gets poured on the peanut butter, just not much of it. It doesn't have to stick, per se....
Also, why is my uni not getting the educational Bernina discount???

Is this where I say I am envious of your teaching job, GG? My fondest wish was to direct and teach theatre in middle/high school, but instead I coordinate educational programming at a school of nursing, and moonlight as a costume maker.
It is a love/hate relationship. I love my students (and teaching/directing them) and hate my administration (the evil Draconian Dictator will be back to torture us for another year)

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

I don't know. They should ask!
I was told one of the scissors company's, I'll have to look up which one, also gives an educational discount.

Evil knitting? Stitch your own dictator
Asylum isn't usually a place for arts 'n' crafts news, but we think this might qualify as weird enough for us: a new book from knitting celebrity Rachael Matthews contains instructions for creating small, woollen version of history's most appalling dictators.
According to The Sun, the book will feature detailed descripions on how to knit a miniature Hitler (supposedly known as "Knitler"), Cambodian nutcase Pol Pot and former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
(We should point out that every news story about this book we can find lacks some very basic details, including publishers, release dates and sources. Count us sceptical. But, if true, we didn't realise our nan's favourite hobby could cause such outrage.)
Incidentally, knitting is popular among young, bohemian people in East London. Consequently, knitting groups can be a great place to meet weird arty girls. But our advice, if you're looking to impress with your needles, is to leave the controversial designs behind. Zombie knitting, featured after the jump, is much more our style...

The "knit your own dictator" is similar to something we did in a show year before last. The show had hand puppets in it and my darling, creative students made one of the puppets to look like our principal (the Draconian Dictator). Almost all of the audience 'got' it immediately; however, the DD was oblivious.

I had cranky pants. And smarty pants. They are gone now.
Though, let me tell you, I need cranky pants today.

How is it that every time I run across a Sex and the City rerun it's the one with the rooftop chickens and tranny hookers? Aren't there like 200 episodes of this show in syndication?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I bought a new Trader Joe's product last time I was there--Chocotal "the exotic chocolate ice cream experience", aka 4 individual servings of different kinds of chocolate ice cream in a box.
Yummy, but the Costa Rican I had tonight is giving me a headache.
