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.

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.

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

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."

Yabbut I guarantee you Carrie Rodriguez has no fucking clue who I am.
