Ooh! It's Popcornopolis, and yep, it's still there. I just bought a few bags of popcorn for my Grandma there a month ago. And I bought my mom some cotton candy. It's a way tasty place.

Here's a link:

Yup, the kid got quite the congratulations from our table for scoring all that sweetness, especially when we got a piece of it

Why does blood turn brown when it dries?
And why do the tears well up in your eyes?
And why didn't I learn to ride my bike
when it was warm and sunny outside?

Why did I leave my bike out last winter for the back wheel to rust?

I need to go to the gym, but watching 24 when it's on is much more appealing.

There's nothing more amusing than watching two groups trying to ask each other how they do things when neither group knows the answer.

I keep reading Ally's link as 'pornocopulis'.

In Spanish, nouns have gender (e.g., la mesa is "female", el barco is "male"). Nouns that refer to people switch genders depending on if the subject is male or female. For example, a male teacher is "un profesor", a female teacher is "una profesora".

Similarly, if you're talking about an animal, the gender switches with that of the animal. So a male dog is "un perro", a female dog is "una perra".

What ocurred to me this morning is that the same does not happen with the word for "person". As a matter of fact, the word for person remains "female" no matter the subject. Una persona es una persona.

Interesting.

My dog ate his own barf last night while I went to get something to clean it up. Dogs can be gross.

why is it when you get new glasses, you have to factor in the total disgust you encounter with suddenly seeing how dirty your house is? and car, and dog, and.....

By talking about rainy day activities at schools, I made it rain today. I did not bring in any games, even though I pulled a couple out of the closet last night.

Today is Read Across America Day, Dr. Seuss' birthday. We were supposed to do an outdoor readathon with the entire school reading, but instead they'll have to do it in the classrooms. I feel bad.

Actually, I don't care too much because the readathon is always after I've already left for the day. That always bugs me.
