How the f do you not turn in classwork? I blame the teacher.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Aw, William Shatner is is too cute.
I do not think you bluff, msbelle.
Y'all, I bought way too much clothes from Coldwater Creek (because they are going out of business and therefore sale prices and I always liked their clothes) and it all showed up on my porch today. i kind of don't remember what all I ordered, so going through it all is SO fun.

I blame the teacher.
in this case, I do not. They are REALLY REALLY into teaching the kids responsibility in the 7th grade, including letting them fall and fail to get the point. This teacher told me that she went to him for the assignment. He told her he had already turned it in. She asked him again, holding all the papers if he had turned it in, he said yes and she let it go. She called me today, THE SAME DAY THIS HAPPENED, because she had now, in the 30 minutes since school let out, gone through the papers and found his missing. SAME DAY CALL TO THE PARENT! so key. Now we will do them tonight and he will turn it in tomorrow for a diminished grade and he will probably fail the class for this 6 weeks.
I blame him. He will blame me.
I will be right and he will lose his computer for weekdays for the next 6 weeks and he will now have 30 minutes of math, 30 minutes of reading, 2 worksheets of English, and 35 minutes of Band to do each night.
I am debating giving him a horse hair shirt for his birthday.

I love Shatner. He'd have been huge in Vaudeville. Then again, the Internet is Vaudeville. He knows how to keep his image in front of people, and he knows his quirks are his biggest selling point. Then he used Boston Legal to show that he was more than a bunch of quirks, there was a reason he was known as a serious actor before Star Trek.

In more amusing news, William Shatner has a new calling: [link]
That is made of awesome.
there was a reason he was known as a serious actor before Star Trek.
One night we randomly saw an episode of the Twilight Zone that he was on, when he was just a wee young Shatner. He was pretty hunky. (I know that says nothing about his acting chops; I just needed to mention it.)

Was it the thing on the airplane wing episode?
Heard in the lunch room: "Hey, you got a haircut over lunch!" "Yeah, it was starting to hang over my ears." "Yeah, it was getting awfully long."
It's one of the signs of the apocalypse, you know, a man's hair touching his ears.

No, it was set in a diner, with a fortune-telling gizmo.

Did you see the Charles Bronson & Elizabeth-Montgomery-as-a-brunette post-apocalyptic episode? It's amazing how many actors I recognize in the old Twilight Zones.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I remember that one! He plays a man losing his sanity very well.

The deadline to switch over to the new card/payment system for transit is approaching. I've been hanging on to my old Chicago Card for as long as possible, but I won't be able to reload it after May 1st. It's not even that I'm resistant to change (although I can be), it's that they launched the new system like eight months ago and it's STILL pretty crappy and the subject of a class action lawsuit.
