I hate when schools go back in the beginning of August. It just doesn't feel right.
I would kill for my high school schedule: Classes start mid-September with exams at the end of May and almost the entire month of March off for Spring vacation.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

It's quite warm here today--supposed to hit 90 in the East Bay. So of course I'm wearing a summer dress with a cashmere-blend cardigan in my freezing office. Sigh.
I don't have a great deal of work right now, and I have a writing project I'm working on. How evil would it be if I spent some time scribbling notes for this story, rather than working? Hmm. Probably no less evil than posting on B.org, I suspect.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
As long as Judd Apatow keeps making hugely-popular movies, I will not believe that the social construction of masculinity is more damaging than the social construction of femininity.
Yeah, I still think the social construction of femininity is more damaging.
Thanks to the internets, I'm now a little worried about the social construction of felinity. I mean, are our cats feeling pressured to conform to unrealistic expectation of jumping into boxes or riding Roombas?

Best entry from the Police Beat in the local paper this morning:
600 block West Slate Drive, 2:36 a.m. Saturday, a 24-year-old man called police to report he was lost in the woods. Officers found him intoxicated at a picnic table outside an apartment complex and arrested him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, that is INSANE late, even with snow days! I hope they don't have to go back until after Labor Day.
When I was a kid, I remember being in school as late as 6/28, and we definitely didn't go back until after Labor Day, so I assume it's the same deal now.

I just blocked off my vacation time at work. Three weeks, August 29-Sept 18. Now I need to figure out where to go.
West coast tour! Seattle and San Fran and LA!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Rick, we had one this weekend of a man who had escaped from the police running down the street, naked, with a baggie of cocaine hanging out his ass.

But obviously I'm just not a real man and don't give a fuck.
I'd be far more interested in a smart, snarky guy like you than the ideal described.

Well, nobody can beat Maru at the whole jumping-into-boxes thing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Now I need to figure out where to go.
Some place cool and foggy in the summer.
Emmett's school year ended on June 10th. Matilda's is ending this week, but it just rolls into summer school for her. Matilda's Kindergarten starts in mid-August, though.
In Florida it was already quite hot by March, so when school let out (usually second week of June) it felt hot, summery and free. School never started until after Labor Day because they were trying to avoid A/C costs. I think they took off more time in the summer, and there was less time for xmas break, and there was certainly nothing like Emmett's mid-February week off.
Anyway, it's a rare hot day in SF today, supposed to get into the 90s.
