When my school floods, we will all get to class in canoes. If you put too many people in one canoe, it will sink and get stuck in a planter. You will still have to go to class despite wet clothes, and will be marked tardy.

(What's really odd about this is that school is out and there is no rain in the foreseeable future.)

Apparently The Sound of Music actually ended with the villa burning down, Maria dying, and Captain von Trapp grieving for the rest of his life.

I need to stop dreaming about my favorite movies.

The fifth season of Dexter that I saw on DVD was completely wrong and nowhere near as messed up as my brain apparently thinks it should have been.

Apparently I sing well enough to be on an American Idol-type reality show. I don't know whether that's a compliment to my singing or not...

enough grass-hoppers working together can move park benches to where they are needed by patrons of the park.

Sunday night and I knew I had no chance of finishing so I was figuring out if I could get some kind of relief.

(2) On a happier note, I was on a vacation for a few days with some seldom-seen cousins and their children. One of the cousins couldn't understand, though, why I couldn't stay through to next Tuesday.

Thanks.

I was building something out of Lego (my old childhood Lego, kept in biscuit tins) and discovered my Lego blocks could bleep.

My sleep-fuddled brain took a moment to realise it was my mobile phone receiving a text.

The bleeping Lego was cool

Apparently, Matthew Buck, aka Film Brain, gives tours at a medical research facility that's working on grafting weapons to the arms of living humans.

The test subject he showed us was Beavis, wrapped up in a thick, clear, plastic tarp. He had a machine gun replacing one leg.

Sometimes, I really worry about what my subconscious is thinking when I'm not paying attention to it...

The bleeping Lego is what you step on on the way to the bleeping bathroom at three O'clock in the bleeping morning.

Apparently, it's been watching "Planet Terror" while you were asleep.

Swapping your 2001-reg Ford Focus for a clapped out Vauxhaull Nova with only three wheels is an excellent bit of bartering. Well done me!

The giant tropical snake you found in your living room is probably venomous. Don't play with it, even if it's friendly, because it might still nibble your hand affectionately and then you'll have to go to the hospital so they can squeeze what looks like hand sanitizer out of the bite and you'll miss hanging out with your friend the construction worker.

I learned the intriguing name of a book entitled Where to Take a Crap (When Only Your Feelings Are Hurt).

From a co-worker: He dreamed that another co-worker had sat him down for a meeting and told him that no one liked him and it would be best if he quit.

FTR, everybody likes this guy.

Apparently, if you're attending a party at a fancy country club, not dressed well enough, and fall asleep on a bench, everyone will assume you are there to wait for the Greyhound bus rather than to attend the party. They will load you onto the bus while you're sleeping and you will wake up on the bus in New Orleans. You'll have to get off there and buy a ticket back to Sacramento, which costs $90, because that's the most they can charge for any ticket. There's construction going on at the New Orleans bus station, so you have to avoid the places where the workers have ripped up the floor. Louisiana has some really sketchy bridges on their interstates, some of whitch have gaps in the middle that the bus has to jump Speed style. Then the bus stops at a rest area to change drivers and pick up more passenges. Many of the new passengers are respectable looking old men, but the guy sitting behind me rides the bus so he can take LSD, because apparently the bus is the safest place to take LSD because people won't let you harm yourself when you're on the bus.

WildaBeast, my favorite part of that is the country club doubling as the bus station. What a great mental image.

I am showing people around the home I am selling, paying special attention to a boat-shaped Roman bath that was like a raised jacuzzi (big enough for 2 to share!) in the courtyard. By the time I've shown the visitors up the slightly rickety wooden staircase it seems I'm the one buying the house, not selling it.

The Roman jacuzzi thing was gorgeous though, all done in mosaic tile. And shaped like a short, fat boat.

I only have enough money to chaperone of one of the kids end-of-term holiday. So do I chose Antartica with DS, Mars with DD2 or the moons of Jupiter with DD1?
