Ooh... Mad Max would be good. My roommate did the Godfather trilogy once but there was no way I could sit that long.

Oh god... did it ever. If I ever need to keep my kids out of organized crime I'm just going to show them that and ask them if they want to suck that badly for the rest of their lives.

I love technology. This morning I took pictures of myself with messy bed hair while discussing comic book illustrations with someone on the other side of the world. I've also discovered the best way to avoid late fees when you rent too many movies: just rip them onto the hard drive and watch them later. Now I'm going to take my computer into the kitchen...

I'm sure there's a Computer Rights Group formed somewhere to protect your poor old computer from those nasty things you're calling it.

I was telling this dude about plans for a community of women (my girlfriends and I ) to raise their children together without having to deal with husbands, and he called me a hippie, which was funny, because I never thought of myself as one.

In our prep week, today is what we've dubbed "Fun Day". We had speakers from the Minneapolis Gang Strike Force, the Bomb Squad, and the ATF. Then we wrote lists of things we liked about our coworkers, but that wasn't as fun as the other stuff.

Here is a list of things I learned from the Bomb Squad:

Today was the first day of the new school year. We had a district-wide conference in a church somewhere really far from our school. We had a motivational speaker who looked like a fat, sweaty gay Squiggy in an orange velour shirt, who motivated me only to make a scale model of Hannibal sacking Rome out of my handouts.

Motivational speaking is such a massive...

That sounds incredibly good. Two months you say... so if I got the recpie and started oh... now? Drunk by Christmas?

How about if you did distance learning at a place with semesters instead of quarters? I'm not sure if that'd work, but the residency requirement would only happen twice a year, not four times.

Lord help me, I love fried cheese. I just can't help myself. I love cheese of all kinds, even that of the cottage persuasion, but there's just something about that little bit of melty cheese that creeps over the edge of my morning omelet and fries on the pan. It makes me swoon.

Time to go take my vitamins and go to a funeral. Think...

My friend Adam and his boyfriend are taking me to the zoo on Saturday. They say I need something fun to look forward to at the end of this weekend. I think they're right, and I also think they're the most fantastic guys on the face of the earth. I've had a pretty rough week, and it's only going to get worse from here, but...

My sister and I made pizzas on the grill last night. I made a whole wheat sourdough crust, she brought sweet corn, tomatoes and jalapenos from her garden, and we topped it with an aged goat gouda. I'm going to have the leftovers for lunch today.

Also, the peanut butter chocolate cheesecake was brilliant. I'm bringing some to work on Monday, and then I'm considering...

That's it. I'm coming to live in your kitchen. I'll be quiet. You won't even notice. Except the missing food...



And we do have Spicy Thai Kettle Chips. We are very sad when the bag is empty.
freakpirate:
I'm perfectly okay with a bit of kitchen mess and I know first aid so I would be handy to have around for any knife related mishaps.
I'm also really good at taste testing. That's a good skill right?

I'm baking a cake. Not just any cake, though. It's a peanut butter cheesecake with a crust made of Nutter Butters and chocolate ganache topping. Go on, tell me how brilliant I am. You know you want to.

You're completely brilliant. Please come to my house and live in my kitchen.

I'm being courted to write the script for a post-apocalyptic subterranian horror flick that's loosely based on the movie within a movie from Strange Brew. The director says I may just be the one human being capable of doing his idea justice. I believe he may be correct.

UPDATE:
A proposal has been made, Thai food has been purchased, ideas have been discussed. A...

"Fleshy-headed mutant, are you friendly?"

"No way, eh! Radiation has made me an enemy of civilization!"

Well I would certainly work for Thai food. However I think the trip is a little out of my abilities at the moment. frown

We were just talking about Ray at lunch today, the other teachers and I, as in "Whatever happened to Ray?"

When I first started at the school in January, Ray was the least of my problems. Ray didn't act out, he didn't start fights, he didn't make threats. Even though about two out of every three days he came to school too high to hold...

You're doing so much more than most, and the kids you do help make it will hopefully be a positive influence for the future. Good luck, I admire the hell out of you.
