Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

CJ is in the middle of a huge project and I am having to keep checking his progress because there is so much to do. They have been reading about Utipia's in his Language Arts class - Brave New World, 1984...

For their project, they have to create their own Utopia and create a wiki page online with the constitution, mission statement, flag, social structure, government structure and so on. I think there were at least 16 things. And the wiki tool they are using is a PAIN. Not intuitive at all.

Then, once they get the wiki pages set-up, the teacher will present each one, anonymously, to the class. If the class votes that your Utopia isn't viable, you have to start over.

Is any Utopia truly viable?

I know! Seriously.

But I have to say, the boy is one of us. He named his Utopia - Serenity Valley.

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

Is any Utopia truly viable?

Possibly the "Kill the Stupid People" Utopia....

hip deep in pie

My parents had no idea if and when I had homework or assignments. I sank or swam on my own. Of course, I never had a big 40 page project in grade 8.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hm. I wonder if that site by the author of Jennifer Government is still up. Remember when we all had our own countries there?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wait, what? Doesn't that kind of miss the point?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I have a new pet peeve! People who don't read things you send them and then call you asking questions you've already answered.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am glad today is pet peeve day, because I am FULL OF PEEVES today.

Dana's pet peeve was mine this morning, but now I'm peeved over people who ask me to print out articles and bring them up to their offices when they have a printer sitting right next to them.

It's the same person who is making me peevish.
