Sudden compulsion to write again. It could simply be because I am putting off studying French. I’ve just watched Failure to Launch for the upteenth time, and now I’m contemplating cleaning the ironing room. It’s amazing how mind diverting such banal things can be when you have nothing to do. Not that I’m complaining about [...]

This is a record of the very important things I have achieved today:
The Dark Knight

Good morning! This is probably the third time I’m saying this, but it’s my last day of work. Kind of anti-climatic, don’t you think? I keep saying that this is the last job and I’m going to start preparing for uni, but I always end up putting my neck through the yoke again. But really, [...]
Ladies and Gentlemen, Presenting…

I may not be the best teacher alive, or feel the call to manipulate soft young minds, but I do have a very talented elbow.
How Was YOUR Day?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged bad day, nonsense, rant, rude awakening on July 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The rude awakening should have already signalled to me that this was going to be no ordinary day. As my sister crashed out of the room screaming “The velociraptor is going to get me!”, I groggily felt around my side table for the elephant gun. When my mental faculties had returned to me from the [...]
Facebook Oddities

I was bumming around on facebook again when I noticed something strange. Aside: Must stop doing this. Facebook only worsens terminal boredom, and I really need to find some less pathetic form of entertainment.
This Sounds Familiar

I would comment on the International Bar Association issue in great depth but I’m too tired. The most irksome thing is the PAP overreacts to criticism either by suing people or accusing them of conspiracy to bring down the state. I am quite sure that the IBA has no use of causing the political collapse [...]
I am a Rose (for what is in a name?)
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged my name, names, nicknames on July 17, 2008 | 5 Comments »
When I was younger I used to complain that my name was not easily shortened nor transformable into a pet name. What on earth can you do with Julie? Jules sounds very American, Joo sounds terribly juvenile. Of course, that was years ago, because today I’ve realised that I collect nicknames in the same way [...]
The New Stomping Ground

Well here I am, the teaching nomad, at my new cubicle. This is the third day of my second contract with CHS. The cubicle looks like an abomination because of the mountains of paper and boxes everywhere, but I really don’t mind. Looks like the teacher I’m relieving truly understands the concept of an organised [...]
The Big Bad Wolf

Because I’m so bored today, here’s a stream of consciousness list of things that scare me.
