And now, deep thoughts by Erin Armknecht
American Idol would make a great drinking game. Paula said someone made that song their own? Two big ol' gulps of cheap white wine! Randy said something unintelligible like "Yo, dawg, I mean, you know, it's like yo..." One more! Ryan Seacrest says something inane and, generally speaking, manages to look like a massive (bad word)-face? Everybody drinks! Whee!
Wayne's World is a great movie. It's an even greater movie AFTER the American Idol drinking game. Not that I'd know, mom. Um.
Happy Nyepi! Tomorrow we have no school, because we're celebrating the Hindu holiday of Nyepi. Most of the Hindus in Indonesia are in Bali, so basically here it just means that we don't have school and the senior school teachers all get together to drink wine and eat pasta on a Thursday night. Also, Happy Nyepi is way fun to say. Try it, you'll like it!
So WHY is Constantine still on American Idol?! Why is this? Next week, people, NEXT WEEK. No more Constantine. Understand? NO. Nyet. Non. Nein. Tidak. I can't think of any more ways to say no. Just say no, kids. No. Enough! C'est tout! Sudah. Basta!
"If you have to spew, spew into this..."
Katie is currently wearing drawstring pants, and apparently they are a great threat to my well-being. I know this because Beans is fiercely attacking them as if there is no tomorrow, or at least there won't be if he doesn't save us all from the pants.
Say what you will, but Wayne's World was one of the greatest movies of the 1990s. Seriously, ask nearly ANYONE from my generation what you yell after someone yells, "Car!" (Game on. Obviously.) Also, it's practically impossible for anyone currently between the ages of 21 and 30 to hear "Bohemian Rhapsody" and not headbang at the appropriate moment...and yes, we ALL know what the appropriate moment is. Thank you, Mike Meyers. Thank you, Dana Carvey...wherever the heck you are now.
So I attempted to discuss irony in Animal Farm with my 11th grade English class today. According to one group, "Irony is because pigs can't sing that is not real so it iron." Yes. Exactly. Perhaps I should just let you think the book IS about animals and their farm and be glad you actually read it. Sigh. Then we tried symbolism. "Symbol is like they can't walk on legs like man, have to walk on four." So...OK, just study your vocab. No, don't worry about Mrs. Erin, it's perfectly natural that she would smack her head against this cinder block wall...
