clickies plus minirant
today's clickies are brought to you by brightflashes, dolphingirl, doubletake, foxestacado and wintersweet and they're all excellent at finding this stuff.
real books that look like photoshops
university offers beatles degree
dr. who (as opposed to the other kind) dalek found in pond.
ancient supernovae found in antarctic ice. this one is awesome for being antartica and giving me an excuse to use the plural of 'supernova'.
new zealand uses barry manilow music to drive teens away.
cave dwellers can't refinance. no, really - this is not the onion.
engagement ring swallowed in wendy's frosty. I never understood the whole engagement ring in food thing. seriously.
buried antarctic lake may provide clues to life on mars.
fish with human faces spotted in South Korea.
warning: prepare yourself for bitching about the school district's annoying policies. you know, in case you just want to scroll past.
today the child has a two hour early dismissal, which I forgot about. damnable things. I would be less irritated but I totally forgot about it and this is shaping up to be a rather high-pain low-productivity week. i suppose wasting my time being angry about it doesn't help, but it's an inevitable reaction at this point. stupid early dismissals. i hate how they assume that parents have the money and time to be able to deal with this shit that the school district randomly throws at us. I mean, I suppose in some ways it's "better" than a professional development day - but on the other hand that would be one or two inconvenience/expense rather than one every month. especially since a lot of babysitters/childcare places have a minimum time/money outlay.
and don't get me started on the TWO weeks of break - one in february and one in march/april. utter bullshit.
this has been a 'phin is bitching about the school district/kids again' alert. pick up here if you want.
pain: 4-6 or so depending on the moment. this morning it was about a 7-8 before I got out of bed. also was dumb enough to take evening pills in morning. (i can just take morning pills in evening. not a problem, merely an irritant.
also: i need more lights in here. nts: buy new pole lamp at some point.
