July 2008


I just stumbled upon this organization on facebook that I’m seriously considering becoming involved with, and perhaps even involving our student council this year.  It allows you to donate toward specific items for specific families in need, and provides lots of pictures and information about the projects they are working on.  They work in conjunction with Children International, through whom I have sponsored a child for the last 10 years.  Click on the link in the sidebar to check it out!!

i feel like i’m in one of those bad relationships where your friends are always telling you “he’s just stringing you along… get a backbone!  Live your own life!  You can’t wait for him to make up his mind!”. 

I just heard a rumor that BSG won’t be back until 2009.  Neither will LOST. Talk about being strung (strang? strunged?) along.  I guess waiting a year between seasons worked so well for them both last time that they decided to do it mid-season this time.  (What–did they call each other up and discuss it over dinner or something?  Come on!) Give me a freaking break.  If only I had the backbone to dump them!  I feel so manipulated, like when your favorite teacher stops at the most exciting part of the book just before it’s time to go home for the weekend and smiles at all the protests of children hanging off the edge of their seats (I know this, because I have done this with my students.  And relished it.  I’m so sadistic…).

At least Dr. Sara is returning to Prison Break… can’t wait for Hot Engineer Genius (Michael, not Sara) to return in September!
