I remember one time we had a substitue for our english class in HS. The assignment was to quietly read a Scandinavian absurdist play, but we convinced her that is was to be read aloud and we assigned parts and read them as hammed-up as possible. Our teacher was not amused on her return.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I used to teach 8th graders and they can be brutal. One opening and they will eat you alive. You have to lay down the law FIRST THING and be really strict. I would not make it personal--my rule was no negative comments about anyone in the room. If one was made, I would stop the person. And I would keep stopping them until they realized it was an inflexible rule. Of course with one class situations, it's really hard.
Cannot agree with this enough. I teach 8th grade now and you have to be FIRM with them or they will take over. Subs in middle school have it rough. Before I taught, I subbed and stopped taking middle school jobs. I stuck with high school. Now, I've been teaching middle school for 4 years (can y'all believe it???) and I have found I like it much more than I ever thought I would.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Speaking of Rio, I just yesterday figured out who Bob Saget is/was!
I think I initially thought it was actually Bob Saget. Then maybe I figured out who he is/was based on some comment. And now I have forgotten.

I kinda like this. At least you read it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

...it isn't?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Someone emailed me and told me about Saget. Otherwise, I might never have known. I do think it's lovely though.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm glad the poor excuse for a sleep doc is now your ex-doc, ita. May the next doc be the one to make things better.
In polish news... I've been wearing Poshe top coat on all three-free polishes, saving Seche Vite for formaldehyde-containing polishes and heavy glitter. The Poshe goes on well and I thought was doing a decent job, but even with light-medium wear, in 24-36 hours there was tip wear and surface dulling, occasionally a chip or two. I tried Diamont the first time this week, and I am so sold. 48 hours and barely detectable tip wear, one tiny chip, easily mended. There is *no* surface dulling, despite yesterday afternoon's marathon sorting through a closet of full boxes in search of something and two days of dishwashing, dusting, and general wear. Two thumbs--and eight fingers--up!

Oooh -- in nail polish natter, I'm going to try Jilli's blood-spatter manicure for the Halloween party tomorrow night!

TAKE PICTURES!
I've been wearing the blood-spatter manicure pretty much exclusively since I first tried it. Boy are people going to look at me oddly (well, more than usual) when it's not October and my nails still look like I eviscerated someone.
