... ok, that was stupid, but I couldn't think of anything to say.
I could just say "Please pass the milk, please" but, you know, I don't want to be *too* idiotic...
I'm so awkward!
My tuesday tutee was late to our meeting at the library tonight. Actually, she was completely absent. Her father showed up about fifteen minutes late to tell me that "she's done." We talked about her for a while. I got the feeling he was not at all pleased with her. I was pretty dumbfounded. Really, what could... Read More
I don't do resolutions. I don't do regrets. In a way, not doing one makes it much easier to not do the other.
The party we threw for New Year's was a blast. Unfortunately not as many people showed as I thought. Claire and I spent way too much time, money and effort making this some sort of nice adult party in... Read More
Claire (girlfriend): "I didn't know you're going to be Shawn's best man"

We really didn't expect that the tagline ("Destroy all Expectations" (not kidding)) would be as accurate as it was. But, plot... Read More
mmm...star wars trilogy in 24 hours. Some day I'll reduce it to 6.5 and be able to die with true geek status.
note to all who care: Don't watch featurette in the DVD collection of the Star Wars Trilogy. It's approximately two and a half hours of people inflating George Lucas' head to record-breaking sizes (the record that he breaks is his own, of course).
Actually I'm really hesitant about playing the 'your mom' card these days because I totally did it in the "Crackwhores = teh sex?" thread and got called on it by someone whose mom died........so yeah.
so the only job I have right now I apparently am not doing too well at. Both kids I'm tutoring are doing sucky in their respective subjects.
Yeah, time to go back to the old high school and meet with teachers about these kids. I don't mean any offense to them because they're really not but I hope I don't have dumb kids when I... Read More
