I've just given myself a black eye.
Well, nowhere near a proper one, just a little bruise below the eye.
But it hurt like buggery!

My eye was was itchy, I rubbed it, then I felt the skin GIVE and a sharp pain.

Oh the grimness!
I knew it was wrong.
And yet I wasn't doing anything unusual.
I guess the tissue under my eye is extra fragile because I do rub my eyes too much this time of year.
I have allergy eye-drops but I always come out of the shower with severe red-eye for example. They just suffer, and the surrounding skin suffers equally.

It's a small patch - I'll take a pic tomorrow. Could be a dot from a marker pen.
Teeny-tiny to anyone else.
But not happy about it.

Shaw, you're lucky to be in contact with your ex.
I still dream about mine - I left him and the guilt is still obviously there, buried.
Then again, my dreams kick up all sorts of really peculiar scenarios, some now involving children at my school, but cast in very different roles. I'm not sure if the mind is a wonder or just a badly evolved piece of meat...

Oh, just to add another topic to the comprehensive coverage of my life; we're have quinoa tomorrow. Yay! Talked Mum into it.
Tonight we had chicken in Thai marinade with salad.
She told me a couple of times how much she enjoyed it, and said she'd never have thought of cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces (being a traditional meat & two veg cook) to make a warm salad.

Which really pleased me.
I love it when I do things she appreciates.

We're here at the beach for a full week, courtesy of my mom.

It was less than 24 hours before the first child asked when it would be time to go home. Sigh.

You can have her too. I'm intoxicated by her older, sweeter, and slyer sister from Spain, Sangria. Whooo baby!

Take heart. I remember asking my Mum whether it was bedtime on holiday and getting a furious reaction.
Genuinely, all I wanted to get was an idea of timeframe.

Children have a warped sense of time - as proved when children in my class ask if it's lunchtime directly after break, or if it's hometime when they haven't even had lunch.
And asked what they did earlier that day will often come up with what they did the day before.

Much smacking of heads in dismay.

That's not really warped time sense as much as an indicator that they are bored and mean to say "I want to go home now" or "I want whatever is happening not to be happening and something different and hopefully better to be happening instead."

At least that's what I mean when I ask those types of questions.

Glad to hear about the headsmacking, thugh. Gotta keep the little rats in line.

I get a parking lot upgrade! As people die off (OK, mostly they leave or retire), people move to better and better parking lots. This is my first move, to a parking lot across the street. It's not really much closer to my building, but still.

See what a person can accomplish in 2 3/4 years?

Now that you mention it..."Man Who Pissed Me Off But We Talked About It And It's OK Now" is moving up too. Heyyyyyy...

Piers Morgan. I've never watched his show. I've never heard him speak. But everytime I see a picture of him I want to smack him right in the face, with his nose in the air and that superior smirk about him.

He may be a great guy. Having no other experience than picture/advertisements on news websites, I would say he's a pompous little pissbag.

you nailed it

On my daily walk today I saw four Muslim women cleaning the front of their houses/ their doors.

I wondered if it was something to do with Ramadan, although the Muslims I knew in Leicester always had a very thorough house-clean before it started. This seemed to be all about the entrance.

It might just be coincidence, but it's a grey and rainy day, and they were on completely different parts of the estate. I'd still have thought it an odd occurence if they were caucasian.

Have tried looking on the internet, but it's a vague thing to look up.
I'll just have to file it away under Perplexing But Not Really Important.

Night before last, we're watching Jeff Bridges as a special musical guest on the Colbert Report... and I turn and say to Mr. Clod, "Holy shit. I think that's Carrie Rodriguez." And yes, the internet confirmed that the first chair violin player at my high school is now playing in Mr. Bridges' touring band.

And then yesterday was the first day of Microbiology for the Fall semester... and it turns out the professor is the father of another good friend of mine from high school.

"You know too many people," says Mr. Clod.

"...but when the guy behind me asked 'Who's that guy with the funny hat hugging Clodfobble?' it was too much and I fainted."
