And here I am shaking my head at CJ, wondering if there is anything in the kitchen he WON'T eat. Boy has grown 3, almost 4 inches so far this year and is eatting like a maniac. He is finally over 5' tall, much to K-Bug chagrin. He only weighs 101 lbs though.
But dang, last night I thought I'd be able to make lunch from the leftovers and NOPE, he ate it all.
Emmett's like this now. He just shovels food into his gob for hours on end. I suspect another growth spurt is on us.
However, right now he's sitting in the office at school with yet another mystery malady. He seems to have badly pulled something in first period PE.
Ugh. We just spent 3 hours last night catching up on missed homework from when he was out sick for two days the second week of school. The workload is so high this year that missing days has a huge negative consequence. He's going to miss a pre-algebra test today too that he'll have to make up.
On top of all that, it's parent-teacher night and his mom can't go. So if I take him back to the city I'll either have to drive back for the P-T, or nobody will go. Feh.
I blame the gym teacher!
Oh,
damn,
darling. You and Emmett both.

He gets paid per page hit and readership is down (no wonder, since who wants to drive SUVs with gas prices so high?). So any visit helps muchly.
This is odd. There are two divorced men I work with, and they always refer to their ex-wifes as "my wife." I don't think they think they're going to reconcile, and maybe it's just a reflection of them not wanting to be divorced, but it's disconcerting. I keep wanting to say, "But I thought you were divorced."

I clicked around! I even clicked on assorted ads, affiliate and sponsored links.
Emmett's home, on Advil, in a hot tub.
Is this another piece on Goth fashion - or the one that's been on the NYT website for a while?
sumi, it's another piece on Goth fashion. Between the FIT exhibit and the "return to Goth" that is supposedly a fall fashion trend, we spooky types are currently media darlings.
I have his blog bookmarked and I try to remember to click around in there at some point during the day.
half-assed meara, about the only kind i do these days...
Then he reminded me about all the times I've handed over keys to buffistas without being clear on RL names.

Hee! ::waves back::
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).
Emily, there are some books out there that might be helpful, like Sew Subversive and Generation T. Everyone's got T-shirts to mod, and a trip to a thrift store would provide cheapos for those who don't. Many of the Generation T mods are low- or no-sew.
Of course, I'm also a descriptivist rebel who merrily splits infinitives and ends sentences with prepositions and spits in the face of the Latinate rules shoved willy-nilly onto a Germanic language by stick in the mud twerps with some sort of mental hard-on for a dead tongue.
God, Plei, that's one of the sexiest things I've ever read.
Other than that, I don't have much. Woirk, feh. Waiting for 5 so I can go hear some music and socialize. First time KBD gets to meet any of my friends, should be interesting.
