Comfortable
"I gotta tell you how I'm feeling,
In case you haven't noticed,
The mystery is gone.
Infatuation's wearing off.
I gotta tell you how I'm feeling,
I think that you'll agree,
That we've become predictable,
But I really don't mind being this comfortable."

It's a Birthday Party in My Mouth!
Ice Cream Release Dates
First, I'd like to announce that our local Baskin-Robbins has yet to sell Piece of Cake ice cream (last year's January special) again this year. This has become very problematic for us as we are rapidly losing weight since we no longer make our weekly trips to engorge ourselves upon two large scoops of it. We even had a weekly $10 ice cream budget which is now going into our I.R.A. and more than doubling our monthly deposit.
Still, we long for it and can say it's been more devastating than Steve Jobs's recent hyped up release of a $100 Ipod leather case and $300 stereo, which wasn't really that devastating and brings us all plenty to laugh about.
Poli Ticks
I've finally been bitten by the Poli Tick, an informative and maze-like talker of a bug. I was previously afraid to ever discuss politics with anyone except Ryan, really, because I was greatly convinced I would lose a good many friends. Even though I've been out of college for 2 years the habit of silence is hard to shake; thanks to Jenny's kindness (in showing me that people can discuss world events with real concern and without expensive amounts of cynicism), I have become to feel more brave:
The Sean Allen issue really hit home for me since Melissa is in high school and has to frequently deal with off-topic propaganda in the classroom. To be honest, it concerns me to have kids recording their teachers in the classroom. As a teacher I know we all accidentally slip up, even in our own topics which we're supposed to know everything about. These days, way too much is frequently made of small events/words that are simply the result of being human. There is just too much nitpicking and we certainly don't require a larger stock of noses to satisfy this need, we need self-control. However, when it comes to debating off-topic subjects frequently and in an underage classroom, it becomes important to me and I think this quote from Hannity sums up my opinion on the matter "Now, if they [teachers] are so confident to say it [personal political rampages] in front of a captive audience of students, young students, then they ought to be able to debate them publicly." I think the "captive audience" part is key. I won't say more because I always typetalk too much for it to be of benefit.
I love you Melissa, you are very brave.
Win a Prize!
Can you tell me what has changed on this blog, aside from the pinkness?

The Best Game Ever?!?
This is a HUGE windows media player file for those with slow computers. However, it's 35 minutes into the latest game by Maxis (creator of the sims). The game actually changes play style from action/building, to RTS/building, well, I'll just let you watch it! Too bad it'll probably only be for Windows when it comes out in Fallish 2006.
