So, I had this thought. Later in the year we'll end up offering "enrichment" programs -- last year this was everything from Lego tractor pulls to guitar lessons to crochet lessons to actual school stuff. I'm wondering if there's something I could do this year that might appeal specifically to the, er, "alternative" kids. That is, both the goth kids and the not-quite-goth-but-similarly-disengaged (from mainstream high school culture, anyway). Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe Jilli would grant me a franchise, but my etiquette sense, while certainly better than my fashion sense, is still lacking.

Okay! Enough! I'm going home now. God, I'm chatty this afternoon.

Basic clothing modification? Like customizing a jacket or a skirt? (And yes, I could probably write some instructions for you after September.)

Vidding for fun and profit!

OTW and New Media Literacies have put together a vidding documentary specifically for use in classrooms. I don't know if it's been released yet, but it should be close.

Dressing up...like Sarah Palin?

come on - there are some things too twisted even for Bitches!

Er... I'm afraid I never really learned how. Too lazy. Sorry!

God, I hope so. But That didn't stop me picturing KO and Katy doing a Spike and Harmony where she puts on his specs and won't answer his questions. Some days I hate my brain.

You know, I often wonder if we who post here are another form of TV for those who don't post. It's just a thought that wandered through my mind. Something like a medical drama/school drama/Oprah combined.

I could probably turn them into arm warmers.

Why didn't I think of that?

I agree, though, that orange isn't exactly a color I would want. Black and white would have been perfect. If they had been in black and white I probably would have thought of arm warmers. I'm still going to order a pair of each for Amelia, though. I was thinking of getting a "Baby Bat" bib from GCS.

Jilli, 3 days old is a perfect age to start nurturing her spooky side, isn't it?

Yes, absolutely. And Amelia needs a Baby Bat GCS bib. She does.
