Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Mom rant ahead.

Yes, child, you do have a couple of classes that are unrecoverable at this point in the semester. Yes, it sucks. But when you get offered a chance to drop one and take the summer school equivilent NOW (for free), digging in your heels and being stubborn is not going to magically help you pass the class as is. We WILL be discussing this tonight.

Rant over, but another crazy part of all this, is that he has taken the max classes each year and only needs 3 credits (6 times .5 credits/class/semester) his senior year (that is with just taking summer school for 2 classes {or doing the one now and one over the summer}). But the minimum class load is 5 classes/semester. The good side is he only needs to pass 3/5ths? Wonder how much Phys Ed he can sign up for.

Because books.

Suzi, can he take an elective he might like? Like art or photography?

breast tissue tends to be dense until your 50s.

That would explain why things have become so much more droopy. Sometimes looking in a mirror is like looking at one of those National Geographic pictures of old native women who never saw the need for supportive garments.

Yeah. He just needs English for 2 semesters and science for 2 semesters, the rest can all be electives. We have already talked about TA-ing for the rock climbing class (his only A this year and the teacher LOVES him) and weight lifting. Will look at the rest of the elective options and see if anything sparks his interest.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

It shouldn't take that long, and yet, here I am, faffing around on the internet.

There are so many things I need to be doing right now. I need to create training materials. But I don't want to because I don't like teaching people, PROBABLY because I don't think I'm very good at it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

OMG this day!

That's all I really want to say at this point. Argh.

I'm going to be really surprised if I get to swim tonight. It's just started thundering and NoVA is covered with lightning strikes on the map, and that is what is headed this way.

I should take this opportunity to go investigate paint. But it sucks out there so back. The stream behind work looks like the Colorado during melt season. The stream coming off the east side of Hampden is as bonkers as I've ever seen it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Work, done. Title company, called. Contractor to repair house we're selling, called. Form saying we'll repair the house, done. BAM.

Now I just need to see if our bank will notarize something for us, and then there will be TV.

We had a "bomb threat" at school today. Luckily I was in the office when it happened so I knew to go gather my things in case we were outside for a long time. Which we weren't.
