A job listing came for me today: "Math Teacher/Instructor/Curriculum Developer."
Me - a math teacher.
Nobody wants that.

Farrah, RIP
I just read that Farrah Fawcett has died. Despite my looking askance the other day at the silliness of Ryan O'Neal saying they were going to marry as she lay on her death bed, I want to give the lady her due for a hard fight.
She was ill for a long time, and she fought very hard to beat her cancer. It would've been hard for anyone to go through that, but it must have been especially difficult for someone who based so much of her image on her looks to waste away like that. I'm sorry that it was such a tough road there at the end, and I hope she has peace now.

Man, I'm good.
When I tell you something is fishy, you may as well get out the tartar sauce. If there's one thing I know, it's when somethin' ain't right and man is a lyin'. Don't even try to spin a tale. Just admit what ya done did. Case in point:
The SC governor was not hiking the Appalachian Trail, incommunicado for a week. (Reeeeeeally???) Yes, really. I know it's shocking. That sounded so believable. But the truth is that the married father was in Argentina with his mistress...over Father's Day weekend.
What a guy.

A roundup
Lots going on today. Check it out:
1. Ed McMahon is dead. He was 86, and the last few years were pretty rough. What an interesting life, though.
2. The governor of South Carolina has been found after disappearing for several days. He was hiking. Sorry, but there's gotta be more to this story than the guy just wanted to go hiking. Even I wouldn't be able to just disappear for several days with no one knowing where I am (not even my family??), and I'm not the senior official for an entire state. Something ees fishy.
3. Jon and Kate (Plus 8) are divorcing. But...they seemed so in love.
4. On the other end of the marriage spectrum, Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal are getting married - if they can manage it before she dies. I don't mean to be insensitive here, but what exactly is the point? They wouldn't marry for all those years when they were actually sharing a life and raising kids together, then they went their separate ways, but now that she's on death's door, they're willing to take vows? I guess it's easier to commit when you're really not committing yourself to much or for long.
5. And a Belgian teen claimed last week that she fell asleep after asking a tattoo artist to tattoo three stars on her face, and when she awoke, he had mistakenly tattooed 56 stars. On her face. While she slept. This week, she admits that she lied, and that she had, in fact, asked for all 56 stars and did not, in fact, fall asleep and stay asleep as a man pierced her face with a needle and injected ink under flesh over and over and over and over. You don't say.

Diet blogging
I posted a rant earlier today. But I decided later in the afternoon that I'd probably just piss off a bunch of people and I wasn't in the mood for that. So, I deleted it.
So, if you saw something in a blog tracker about a rant on my blog, but now that post isn't here, that's why.
I wish it were that easy to delete ingested calories.

And all is well.
David Banner went home yesterday. My parents came by on their way home from their vacation, and when David heard my mom's voice, he was happy again, and the world was right. They got him into his cage without having to wear protective gear, and J and I had our house back.
Aaaaaaaaaah.
Aaaaaaaaaah.

NOW you love me!
Detente has definitely been achieved, because now every time I go into the bedroom or bathroom, David Banner comes out and wants me to pet him. This is much preferable to hissing, growling or batting at me, but geez Louise, why couldn't he have come to this place six days ago??
I'm glad we've achieved this new level of kumbaya, but I'm even happier to report that my folks on their way back and should be picking up David Banner tomorrow. Hallelujah! How nice it will be to sleep in my own bed tomorrow night!
On another note, good luck to the Longhorns tonight! Game 1 between Southern Miss and UT in the College World Series - 6 p.m. on ESPN 2. Hook 'em!!
