Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
One class of English paperwork is almost totally done! It's sad how happy that is making me.
FCAT retakes tomorrow. I don't have any students for 2 blocks! Oh, how I plan on being so productive tomorrow morning.

I sucked on the eyeballing it thing. Which is why I should measure before I hang tings up but I never do. Which explains why everything that is on the walls in our house looks the way it does.

Anyone else freaked out over the "having a baby for german engineering" VW commercials? Makes me blink like This American Life blinked over the "better mousetrap" that was a gas chamber...and was marketed in Germany.
Bugs me that a generation of marketers would be so blind to the implications. I mean, freaks me out that kids don't really remember the cold war anymore, but jesus, the Holocaust? We're fucked.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
An excellent article in the Times Online UK on why Obama is such a brilliant campaigner: Beep, beep: Road Runner lets McCain blow up - Barack Obama’s strategy of calm is provoking his rival into fatal errors
Some of the comments are interesting - An American had this to say:
I won't be voting for Obama. I have no desire to live in a socialistic nation.
Which resulted in these comments:
More American brainwashing on display. The word "socialistic" is meaningless in America. It's the latest code word for biggubment now that communism is dead. Well, guess what, you've already got the most socialistic gubment you've ever had. Why not grow up?
and
"I have no desire to live in a socialistic nation."
I am sick and tired of hearing Americans talking like this. Do any of them know what "socialistic" is?
It seems to me that many Americans would rather have Jesus and a rifle than a job, a sound ecomony and healthcare.
and
I simply do not understand why America does not have a National Health Service like every other civilised country in the world. maybe the word "civilised" contains the answer Lord knows they provide one and free food and clothes and a whole lot else for their soldiers.
I'm glad that American got made fun of....
