In Mr. Timmreck's words, it's when a little itty bitty baby (such as ones we supposedly will conceive in the near future) is holding a toy, but then it's distracted by something like a butterfly or Curious George on TV or Uncle Fred and it just drops the toy. It's like one of those shock moments when you drop everything and scream. 'Cept less dramatic. Anyway, I'm not sure I remember why he was telling us about this...... ah! It was when he was like "oh I accidentally crossed things out when I was adding fractions or whatnot" and we were just like "too stunned to respond because we are bewailing our unfortunate position of being fail at everything and yet having a test around the corner". Which we do. I'd like it to be next week, but I'm not totally DYING over that it's this week. I think.
Nomnom cookie. Went to Kinokuniya yesterday-- on the way there saw a bunch of Hyde kids pushing each other around in a shopping cart outside of Safeway... I was just like ,"Lol, this is what Hyde kids do in there free time, Mom." No offense, Hyde kids. Julian claims that they were getting stuff for the Tech challenge. Ham sandwiches, perhaps? God knows you can't work on an empty stomach. Anyway, at Kinokuniya I saw the new (or maybe not and I'm just behind on times) a-gels. They're the ones that have white grips and colored bodies. So cool. Only I can't get them because I just got two nice and cheap Dr. Grips from Target and plus I already have too many pencils in my pencil bag. When there are too many I start to lose track, so no go. I also saw this little book that I had admired before but had the fortune to adulate over again: Kawaii Not. http://www.kawaiinot.com/ It's just a compilation of things from this webcomic. Very very very cute vectors (although they disagree) with witty words of wisdom. Sample:
You go, Meghan Murphy. This would be the perfect time to introduce ALBERT'S ADDICTING GAME: PLANTS VS ZOMBIES. Available free online here: Gamehouse Plants vs Zombies
Beautiful.
Lastly, a look at some beautiful yet affordable (the cost of two pizzas from school =_=) yarn that I plan on making into a beret from Selena when she gets it:
