rantings

Have you seen the eyeball jewelry fad? Someone somewhere in the netherlands (?) thought this would be a lovely decoration. WTF? How can people be so stupid. They had the jewelry surgically implanted in their eye.
Its all fun and games, till....

(I will post the link when I can figure out how to do it!)

I am sitting here with paint under my nails. I love having paint under my nails. I'm not being facetious either. Something about painting a set is so very zen. You forget about everything else....and just paint. I enjoy it. My favorite part of the whole "building" process, actually, because it's when all the debris from sets past starts actually looking like what it is supposed to look like.

I have this one student...we'll just call him "destructo boy". Destructo Boy's main feature is that he breaks or messes up everything he comes in contact with. He can't keep anything nice. He has little control over his motor skills (or he just doesn't care enough to employ them) so he always ends up hurting things...breaking tools, smashing up paint brushes, flinging paint....etc. If I don't keep an eye on him, he's threatening another student with a drill, and it IS a problem, because he might actually miss and hit the kid! (Did I mention that this is high school? yeah......)

And why I even bring it up is because I worry. I worry because what if I have a kid like that some day. Who just is so careless, he breaks EVERYTHING. aiiee. Or what if I have the "I-don't-smile-even-when-I-find-things-funny" kid. Like he's too cool to smile, or something. That kid would also just break my heart.

alright. back to zen paint.
It's a much better place to be.....
