I have a headache, nothing new really. But annoying nonetheless I also have the hiccups and they make my eardrum hurt. My back hurts, but enough with the hurts
I'm in lab. I'm miraculously caught up on grading. Can you believe it? I'm not sure I can, I keep checking and re checking to make sure I haven't forgotten something thing. Yeah, little OCD.
I've become slightly enthralled with this television show on CBS called 'Kid Nation.' 40 kids out in a ghost town trying to see if they can survive. I have to say, there are some great kids out there. And some real brats. I can't help but wonder if was a wee-un again and was on that show... well depends on how young. I got horrible homesickness (like got physically sick) when I was away from home for a while up until age 12 or 13. So if I was a little one, I'd have gone home the first week.
Sometimes I am convinced that children are so much smarter and more understanding of how the world should work than adults are.
Random GK Chesterton quote I heard on TV last night. "Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." And a random CS Lewis quote to follow that up "Someday you will be old enough to read fairy tales again..."
Here's a question I've had for a while. What is the Biblical picture of economy? Socialism, Capitalism? What? The economy set up by God in the OT for Israel sees capitalistic, except every 49 years anything you bought was returned to the rightful owner. In the NT the church was very socialist in their philosophy. Share everything. Work hard, but give it all to the church. So what is correct? What would be the biblical way to run an economy?
Enough of that though. Think about biblical economics makes me think about biblical politics, and well. I already have enough of a headache.
My hands are cold. This whole building is cold. This whole world is cold. Well no. I suppose the Bahamas aren't cold right now. But Bolivar is. And no matter what I do, I have been unable to warm up. Tried more layers. Tried hot coffee. Tried sleeping. Brrrrr. Welcome to autumn.
This sudden cold snap reminds me of MN with its lack of autumn. Nice and hot one day, 3 feet of snow the next. Or so it seemed.
Those last two sentences are actually right out of a story I wrote for fiction class. Probably my favorite story from the semester. Good stuff.
The number of students in lab is diminishing. Slowly slowly slowly going down to nothing. Wow. I've got 6 that are still working. Nice. But chances are I won't get out of here before 6 anyway.
My gum is stale. I hate that. You can only chew it for so long before it tastes nasty. By the way, did you know if you chew certain kinds of bubble gum (don't ask what kind, I can't remember) for a long enough period of time (like 8 plus hours) it looses it elasticity? Yeah, well its true. I learned this nifty fact during a lock-in in 7th grade.
So now I go spit out my gum. I threw away a bunch of paper earlier. All the stuff the students had to print out for the last 3 or four labs. I like how I used the numerical form and the written form of those two numbers. Nice Lindsay, very nice.
Oh no, I've started talking to myself.
Five students. Still cold. No gum. Took a drink of water.
Four students. Should boys wear coats with fur lined hoods?
Shoot. How am I going to get home. Its freezing and my body feels like it got smashed by an anvil. Like in the cartoons. I hate cartoons. Well except for Kim possible. Or the occasional Disney animated flick. Or sometimes the Simpsons. Sorry mom, despite all your efforts to make me think that the Simpsons don't exits... I found out anyway.
Two students. I'm gonna call my mom.
Good, gotta ride home. Niceness again.
Nice is a nice word. I like it. I use it a lot. I used it in a story I wrote this afternoon. Well a story I finished. Its about a little boy who is supposed to clean his room. But he turns into a knight and has to go battle some ogres in order to retrieve the Duchess' stolen emerald necklace.
Now I stare at the clock and watch the minutes tick by. Closer and closer to the time at which my parentals will arrive with the van to whisk me away to my humble abode. Which is a mess. My abode is. I wish I had the time/energy/motivation (pick one and run with it) to clean it all.
You know, if I sat on my hands they would warm up. But if I sit on them I cannot type. I would try and type with my tongue, but that would be gross. Who knows whats on this keyboard.
I had a friend in middle school who got both her pinkies stuck in a hand mixer. She unplugged the mixer with her teeth and then dialed the 911 with her tongue. Pretty neat story. Except for the getting her pinkies stuck in the mixer. That was just stupidness.
Why is stupidness funny? Good question.
There is a sticker of goofy on the back of my cell phone.
I'm hungry. And my hands are still cold. And I still have 10 minutes until my ride is here. But I think I'll click "publish" anyway.
My shoes are very comfy.
