Bananas in RS

Published on February 27th, 2009
Let me know what you think!

Yesterday I had a very random sort of day. In Philosophy and Ethics, while my brain slowly dribbled out of my ears and ran away under the table, me and Clare drew on a banana because we thought it would be fun. I drew a smiley face. Bananas are a good surface for drawing [...]

Would Spike Say Yum To Victorians?

Let me know what you think!

This depends entirely on whether she was eating food prepared for her by Victorians, and was paying them a compliment, or whether she was simply eating the Victorians. Overall, we think yes. Spike says “yum!”

I Have A Dream…

Let me know what you think!

Dreams can be scary at times.
I dreamt that there was a Spartan tomato and a spider cat. I think I should have paid less attention to my philosophy and ethics teacher when we were talking about cloning and genetic modification. Spider-goats and luminous pigs are alright, but I personally draw the line at crazy Spartan [...]

How To Know You’re Soul-Mates

Published on February 25th, 2009
Let me know what you think!

Me and Rob thought up a comprehensive list of ways to know when you have found your soul-mate while we were walking hand in hand along the beach. We promptly forgot this list with liberal applications of ice-cream and Cajun squirrel flavour crisps (not in the same meal, because that would taste disgusting). When we [...]

Of Chocolate Brownies And Fairy Cakes
 
My favourite thing to do when I have a lot of inner turmoil is baking. It makes me feel relaxed. I recently discovered that my culinary expertise is actually non-existent. In the last week I cooked a pathetic excuse for a spaghetti Bolognese, some squishy chocolate brownies and fairy cakes [...]

Schools Makes Peoples Insane…

Published on February 10th, 2009
Let me know what you think!

The school seems to think that students aren’t people.
 
They seem to think that we are super-computers with the capacity to write several essays each night.
And complete some work sheets.
And learn things before we’ve been taught them.
 
However, we are (quite obviously) NOT super-computers. And the assumption that we are has resulted in several [...]

Some Thinking For The Morning

Published on February 9th, 2009
Let me know what you think!

I was bored this morning. The schools have gone back and that is depressing all by itself. So I did some thinking. And this is what I thought…
 
If I were God, I would make some changes.
 
Firstly, I would get rid of all that praying and praising and all that, because I would get bored [...]

A Rant

Published on February 6th, 2009
Let me know what you think!

Few things I need to rant about before I can say what I want to say.
 
Number 1.
 
CBBC.
 
Who the hell decided that this should be a television station all by itself?
And can I shoot it?
Is it possible to shoot a television station?
 
It’s been well established that I am semi-mental, for lack of [...]

A Note On Snow

Published on February 6th, 2009
Let me know what you think!

(I’m aware that this is late, as this is the third snow day this week, and the schools have gone back and ended again, but I’ve been ill and haven’t been able to get to a computer with internet access since Friday)
 
Some days it just feels like everything goes right. Today is one of those [...]
