A Fairly Inane Update


Yesteryday was snowball, which was pretty much fun, if a long day. "Super Heroes" was the theme, and I led the awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle group, with Amanda's help. Fun fun fun. (Have you ever noticed how strange of a word "fun" is? It doesn't really seem to fit its meaning... like, if I spoke a different language and saw the letters "f-u-n" together, I wouldn't immediately assume it meant something amusing or diverting.... er, maybe I'm just a weirdo.)

Anyway... I was surprising exhausted this morning even after 12 solid hours of sleep, but I guess that's what 18 hours at the school will do to you. So now I'm sitting in my kitchen listening to Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog soundtrack (that I finally decided to buy from iTunes), trying to wake up fully enough to write an AP essay for english and hammer out my math homework. Eh, well, I'll do the english homework at least; we'll have to see if I'm in the mood to bother doing math today.

To keep with this blog's purpose, here's the artwork of the day. I finally tracked down this picture; it was a freshman year art project that Ms. G was wowed by: 


I think it's ok, if a little bit strange composition wise. The subject matter wasn't exactly my choice ("Here Jackie, why don't you draw this puppet, he always turns out well... Oh!  And throw the pineapple in!  I bought it for my AP students, and none of them seem interested in drawing it...")  I put the poor puppet in prison because I needed something in the background, and it kept with the alliteration (puppet, pineapple, pencil, prison... yeah...)



Thanks to Spongebob, pineapples will always be orange to me, even if my eyes tell me otherwise.

And the colors are much nicer on paper.  Honest.

And that's all for today!
