Abandoned Car 2 by Spitting Yarn

I am being very consistent with my Scabulous games at the moment. In each an every game I losing by between twenty and fifty points. Certainly this is enough of a margin to win but not to feel utterly defeated.

Lesson for the day - if you have to flounder it is best to do it with a little grace.

Waitresses ahead by Papa Razzi1

Lesson for the day - some days I wonder just where I would be ranked if they published human league tables.

Movie:??(The Big Sleep) by rachelpang

I didn’t even sleep particularly well but all the same it broke the mood I was in. This morning I am able to clearly see that for every thing I completely suck at there are another two or three things that I manage to be perfectly ordinary at.

Lesson for the day - it amazing how much perspective you can get by closing both eyes at once.

Now that I am done feeling all sorry for my lovely life I have finally made a start on the material about volcanoes.

Lesson for the day - I might not be hot stuff but this material is.

Complaining telephone by lesliegardner

I like to think I have a reasonably balanced view of myself (as much as such a thing is possible when you are this self obsessed).

But some days (and today is a prime example) I can see only my shortcomings and yearn only to without them. Not that I have anything to complain about, it’s an entirely irrational thing. I lead a charmed life and the only way it could be better was if I was called Antonio Banderas. Not because I think he has it all but just because it’s just a cool name.

All the same sometimes I wish I was the Mark O’Meara from bizarro world who was all the things I’m not.

Lesson for the day - all this self obsession is not getting my school work done.

Bubbles by MarkOMeara

I am sure Nicky won’t have any time to begin her study until tonight but I thought I’d mention that she is, and has always been, my favourite student.

Lesson for the day - sometimes it’s okay to have favourites.

Playing in water by Siggav

I had vague thoughts of taking Finn to see the Simpsons Movie at the drive-in. He has never watched an episode of the show but it is impossible not to know who they are and so he knows.

Then I had a nap in the afternoon and the time had pretty much passed.

Then, as I was bringing in the washingand standing in the warm breeze, I thought of how much Finn might enjoy the excursion and how I wanted to be someone who did things rather than someone who decided not to do things.

So off we went.

The movie was just ok but I am really glad we went.

Lesson for the day - there is no try.
