I think that would be the greatest volunteer thing ever. I would love to spend my free time sitting around petting adorable things. I am the biggest suck in the world.

I just sent in an application to read to sick children at the Stollery Children's Hospital. I'm really hoping they accept me. smile

Yes, I realize that it's not even six in the morning and I'm in my underwear watching The Elegant Universe. I realize what a total nerd that makes me.

It turns out that this episode of Nova (one of my favorite programs) is brought to me by, among others, the Howard Hughes Institute for Medical Research. I just cracked myself up imagining what it...

i think that the HHI would have loads of money to throw at things, maybe the building is in the shape of a plane. or looks like a hospital, with a plane sticking out of it.

I hate it when innocent, hardworking young men are brought down by the inevitable fuckwittery of bureaucracies.




In other words, the man better stop keeping my students down.

The student I've been working closely with has finished. I got my grades done yesterday before the deadline. I sent out all of my letters home. The new boss doesn't start until Monday. I have 48 hours of sick leave that I'll probably never use, and don't get paid for if I don't.

I'm playing hooky, y'all. Don't tell my students.

My favorite little thug finally finished high school today. I told him that if he worked as hard at everything as he did at graduating, there's nothing in this world he can't do. He shed a little tear, I shed a little tear; but let me assure you, they were the two most gangsta little tears ever shed. I'm going to miss that kid.

That's kinda why I didn't want to send it to her. I figured she probably hadn't sent hers out to anyone either and it sucks to get shafted like that.

The fill-in receptionist asked me if I had any big plans for this weekend. My reply was, "I'll be reading about writing comic books and organizing my yarn." I don't think she thought I was entirely serious. Well, my yarn is about one-third organized, and Alan Moore writes about his craft like a primadonna.

A primadonna of comic book writers. That's just so ridiculous.

I finished The End of the World today on the drive home. I enjoyed it a great deal, although there were parts that I found a little dry and textbook-ish. I wish they had gone into more detail about the Spanish Inquisition. But I realise that there are entire volumes of books that can and have been written on the topics that he covered. All in all, a good read.

I'm so far off it that today I almost bought a bag of cucumber-flavor potato chips before reminding myself that I don't particularly like the flavor of cucumbers.

Well, that edit comment attempt was yet again a failure

I went to my parents house yesterday, because they're out of town. My mother asked if I could water her garden and harvest some stuff, because they have no idea when they're going to be home. They're retired, and like to just roam the countryside in their RV. I got there, and someone had left the shower on in the upstairs bathroom. How do you...

I'm watching The Usual Suspects this afternoon. Oh, Kevin Spacey. If only we could run away together. You and I, and beef tataki of course, could live a happy life. At least until I eat the beef tataki and leave you for someone younger. Hey, that's how life goes.
