Sean, I would agree that Prez benefits from white privilege and from his dick FIL's high rank in BPD, but that was my point, I don't think that's the same as being loaded with racial animus.

Agreed.

(Although he also pays, probably, for having Valchek as a FIL. But since this isn't Hill Street we don't see that.)

Snerk.

Tonight he got out, made his footprints, looked at them for a moment, shouted "Tummy-print!" and belly-flopped his naked self onto the bathmat.

DED. D-E-D of the cute.

Ziggy! My obligatory Wire story about him is that that my friend was his stunt dick!

Is anyone going to Madagascar soonish? I've deceided I need a mouse lemur.

Please to send me one of these: [link]

the camels of the world are jealous.

The camels will have wee passengers!

I start in my new classroom tomorrow and it just occured to me that I have to tell all new kids about Ms. Aimee's Rules of Camels. Sigh. I just got this group broken in!!

my friend was his stunt dick!

This is, like, ur-Baltimore.

What are Ms. Aimee's Rules of Camels, other than "Camels Rule!"?

I want my stupid headache to go away. It makes me not want to accomplish anything, and makes me feel nauseated. But I really don't want to go to bed at 7pm and not get anything done tonight, even if it's just "watch TV".

headache! BE GONE! This Instant! D'ya hear me? Meara is too good a person for you hanging around, spoiling her night. You go play with someone more deserving, ok?

Oh, for god's sake. I just had a filling repaired yesterday, and then this evening that tooth (or possibly one next to it -- hard to tell) is suddenly *extremely* painful when I bite down or even just touch it. I'm afraid this means another root canal. Damn it.
