Accordions and Full House

[obsideon]

So, I was exhausted all day at work today. I felt really sick. My back hurt (it still does). But, here it is, 2:30 in the morning, and I cannot sleep. Instead of sleeping, I am attempting to learn how to play my accordion. Which, by the way, is very difficult. But I think I'm getting the hang of it. However, I SHOULD BE ASLEEP

i had to take care of an egg once. but everyone didn't pair up. we each had our own egg and our teacher hardboiled them so they wouldn't break. (kind of defeated the purpose of the fragility of a child sort of thing...) but we kept journals and made clothes for our "babies". that's the closest i got to that saved by the bell episode! :)

but yeah, sitcoms tend to repeat stuff all the time. it's why they call them sitcoms... situation comedies. it's the same situations over and over, with (supposedly) new jokes, new people, places, etc... meant to reach a (supposedly) wide range of people and entertain them. but it gets old fast. and there are so many sitcoms that come and go that they just aren't being inventive anymore. there are really only a few these days that break the mold, but even those tend to stray back to repeating those situations. will & grace broke the mold... so did the office, scrubs, friends... but for the most part, a sitcom really is just the same situations but different. :)

no egg babies here. There was a class at my high school though where you got paired with someone and you were given a baby doll that had a information recorder in it. The baby cried, "wet" itself, and recorded if you held it nicely..(aka put a key in it's back when it cried...the key was worn on a bracelet around your wrist) or if you shook it..or let it cry. If you didn't take good care of your baby you failed the assignment. And I do actually believe that the point was to scare kids out of having sex because babies are a HUGE amount of work.
I never took the class but I do remember signing a petition saying it was unfair that athletes were excused from the assignment because they couldn't afford to lose sleep when the stupid thing woke them up crying in the middle of the night. As though the rest of the high school students could wake up in the night..yes...sleep deprivation...that's good for those unachieving non-athletic kids.
ha.
ps. i miss you keith

We had to carry a full bag of flower around for a week in middle school, as a grand finale of sex ed. I think it was to make a last desperate point to the people that were asleep during the whole birth control part. We had to bring them in on Monday but on Sunday night I realized that we only had a huge bag of sugar at home, so I brought it in as a substitute. During PE there was a kid assigned to guard the bags of flour in a giant flour bag day care, and the stupid boy ate like, a quarter of my baby! Now that I look back I should have left the bag of sugar/flour alone and announced that I gave it up for adoption. But I digress - I did have friends who actually had to take care of an evil little programmed robot that their teacher could check up on. It cried and had to be changed. That version might actually work at scaring people. Now if I ever have kids I'm just not going to let anyone touch them or look at them. And that's healhy.

Yeah "they" revived me and I am stronger, faster and uh... still an insomniac. Greetings from the underworld. :)

Well ... we need to hang out. Pronto. Do you like ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES? There's a concert this thursday night, and I have an extra ticket for the moment.

[irrevocabilis]

Sure! That sounds like fun if you still have a spare ticket - where is it? :)

[obsideon]

It's at the DNA lounge in San Francisco. As far as I know, we still have extra tickets, but I'll make sure and let you know. The only problem is that Jeff and James are probably going to be there ... I don't know if that would weird you out or not.
