I'm mentally girding my loins to discuss safe(r) sex, STDs, and birth control tonight. Less than two hours from now my class and I are officially stuck with each other on Valentine's Day until 9pm. (Hey, I could be out on a date too you know...)

Condoms. We will amuse ourselves with condoms. I have a new thermos which should prove useful for illustrating a point.

Somebody put a gigundus "Midnight Special" martini in stasis for me... I'm gonna need it.

Just shoot me NOW

That rant was related to my classroom not Valentines

BTW Valentines is a disturbing and inappropriate holiday that ties the measure of love a person has to you to the cost and volume of gifts they purchase. I refuse to celebrate it. I'd prefer my husband love me 365 day a year and I don't need gifts to prove it. He proves it every day by being an awesome caring father and a loving supportive husband

Hey all,

sorry to hear that you're having class room woes MsA but shoot you? My crappy days (and boy was today one) just leave me the urge to massacre colleagues.

I co-sign the Valentine's day comments MsA, I'd say more but you covered more eloquently so just need to point out that other half would be upset if I called her my husband.

Look on the bright side those outside the uk, at least your government is not cutting services and telling us we should be volunteering whilst the moneyed privilege that they are and represent sit pretty.

Ick.

The latest FF Castle reference left me a little flat. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy it's there at all.. but it wasn't subtle in the slightest.

They kept the camera on Nathan just long enough that you were wondering if he was going be able to keep a straight face or lose it completely.

Plus: cliffhanger. Bleah.

Also I love his argh face when he was about to get serious with Beckett just as they cleared him.

Still sick..hate bronchitis. Am waiting and hoping it won't go wrong and go to pneumonia, but let's face it what are the odds of that?

I hope you get to feeling better soon, MSA. Bronchitis isn't any fun, and it lasts way too long.

I liked this week's Castle ep. I like the episodes that they play more seriously. There's more character development in them.

I was watching "The Invention of Lying" tonight. Becket's captain played the landlord in it, and Justin Bateman was in it too. It was sort of like having a bottle of "Nathan Lite" there for a moment.

Honestly, I don't understand the people who can't tell them apart. They look completely different to me.

It was a sweet movie. I liked it.

I visited a house in SV today that our PE teacher wants me to rent with her part time next year. She lives there full time and I would rent a room a couple of days a week so that I don't have to commute so much.

It's an old double-wide trailor set back in some trees on a hundred acres of nothing. Sweet! The views are spectacular, and it's on the California side of the valley, so there aren't many neighbors.

If our jobs aren't cut next year....

Speaking of which, I got my diploma in the mail on Friday! Yea! It looks much better than the one that I thought was my diploma that they sent in January (it was an ugly bit of "meh" when I saw it - I couldn't believe that that was what I worked for - could have printed it out myself on my printer).

The real one is worth framing.

I am now an officially trained, professional librarian. I could probably even catalog all of the crap that Badger has in his office. Or weed a couple of Fox executives.

That sounds.....like one of those "mystery meals" the might serve in the galley after River pulls the lables off of the food stash.

That. Sucks.

Just one more day containing a big quiz, a lab, and a big exam.. then it's Spring Break and I'll have plenty of time to study and finish my chem and math labs!

Last week's CVA quiz garnered 49/50 and a sticker. Best score yet in that class.
Boychild cheered and hugged me.

Doctroid hung it on the fridge.

I need a break. I really really need a break.

I will be doing all five weeks of field experience the first half of the summer. (You won't be hearing much from me during that time.)
I need to see about taking Calc 1 the second half of the summer.
When I get back from the Adirondacks I will be smartified, able to conduct independent field research, and know how to build a wigwam among other useful things. (Field Ethnobotany.. gotta love it! Dyes and sh..tuff from the wild!)
