You mean Bristol, Trudy?
Yeah, Bristol. But Sarah too in that maybe not every corner of her life should be public fodder.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I haven't seen it, but isn't it supposed to be about Revelation actually coming true as experienced by residents of L.A.?
Is that what it's about? Justin Timberlake keeps quoting the Bible while spinning around in circles on top of a building at the pier, but so far people just are talking about nothing whatsoever. Like, for instance, their thoughts on the frequency one should go to the potty and whether it makes you happy . But there's some misquoting of Bradbury too, as you'd expect.
Oh! But I finally figured out that the little old lady was the witch in Teen Witch. I loved that movie.
ETA: I felt that way about Lewinsky, too, Trudy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That movie sounds odd, Alibelle.
Burrell, I don't know if all LA moms are insane. I'd like to think that it is no.
I fear it is true in my case, but then I keep coming across women that make me feel like I'm not too far gone. Then again, this weekend provided me with some convincing evidence that I'm in not grown up enough yet to be a mom.

Yeah. Hillary didn't deserve that (but hey, people HATE Hillary). Chelsea, however, could live a long happy life without that much fucking detail about her Father's sex life -- but nobody ever seemed to worry about her.

Hmmm... Burrell, that sounds intriguing. What happened?
I am such a bad teacher. I have work tomorrow (just meetings) but I am just now typing up my syllabus for 2 of my classes and I haven't even bothered to think about the third yet. I'm also trying to figure out the first days work. UGH. HATE. I'm such a procrastinator.

Southland Tales is by the Donnie Darko guy. Which means I meant to see it, and it's probably a love-it-or-hate-it thing. Although actually most of the comments I saw from people I trust were more like "it's interesting, but it's not actually good."

"it's interesting, but it's not actually good."
"Or sensical." And then you'd have my take. But that's good to know. I was beginning to feel like I was on drugs watching it. But then it would probably make more sense.
I'm glad that all these people I enjoy do seem to be having fun though. I wish I could join them. And geez, how long is this movie? I feel like I've been watching it for years. I keep pausing for things like the laundry, but still.

The status is NOT quo.

If it makes you feel any better, I just finished my final syllabus/course overview and only have the sketchiest idea of what I'm doing tomorrow, and it's the first day of classes. I teach 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th period. Oh, and 3rd period is a double block. I am feeling a wee bit screwed.

Well, Kristin, I wish I could say that I haven't been there, but bejesus I HAVE! Hell. I'm still wallowing there. I have day one planned (poem, discussion, syllabus overview, possible pre-test) and day three (in class essay... tee hee... welcome to AP, kids!) It's pesty day 2 that might be a problem. Or maybe it won't be. Maybe day 1 will spill over into day 2!
And really, that's only for my two AP classes. My other class is journalism (I think. I'll know for sure tomorrow). I have no syllabus yet for that one and no idea what we do on day one (except maybe a personality feature of a fellow classmate? Practice?)
Sigh.

Anything for a weird life.
From a couple pages back:
I also want to knit a Klein bottle hat, just to try it, but I know I would never wear it, so I'd have to find someone else who wants a Klein bottle hat.
My friend (StolenCubicle on these here boards) made me one for my birthday last year, as well as a mobius scarf, which I thought was really cool, but also kind of inappropriate because my birthday is in the middle of July and I live in South Florida. Dressing for warmth is more often done for movie theaters than actual climate.
