Defined: "Reverse Savage"
- the phenomenon of a goofy looking child actor becoming an extremely attractive adult actor
BWE SLANG: The “Reverse Savage”*
Par exemple: Ryan Reynolds
*I had to laugh at the comment :"Seth Green is HSD — hot sitting down."
** Sans a beard for fair comparison. I normally don't like beards but he is hot with a beard. Of course if we want a real fair comparison I'd have two shirtless pictures.

Making Me a Little Weepy
Everton players' tribute to Rhys
I don't know if anyone has been following this story but me. It has caused a huge roar in the UK.

Bargain
I bought a champagne coloured cotton sun dress for $8.22. I thought it was going to be $10.70 (on clearance) but it had been reduced further. Now I need a cardigan for it.
Jerks
As I was driving home I had to swerve to avoid what look like piles on blankets on the road. As I past I realized it was someone passed out on the road. As I turned around to check on the person I was calling 911 explaining the location and situation. Speaking with the operator I pulled up to the scene and saw someone else had stopped. As I pulled close I could see the extreme anger in the man's face as he (and I realized) it was a dummy. I apologized profusely to the 911 operator but she thanked me for calling. So not funny.

"To Sleep, Perchance to Dream"*
I am once again not able to sleep. It is 7:33am and I have chosen to stay awake until at least 5pm. I'm pretty sure the reason I can't sleep is largely due to I expect to hear about a possible job and possible interview today. I don't want to be woken up by the call(s) or miss it. Most teachers start work today and I don't have a job yet. The school year starts in 8 days, no pressure at all.
*Yes I realize this is my second Hamlet reference in less than a week. Strange since I don't really like Hamlet too much. I also considered "To Sleep or Not to Sleep" but decided to be too cliched.
Update (8:29am): I can call them back. I need to sleep.
Update (11:30pm): They never called which makes me a little sad. One of my reason for panic was finding out one of my references would not be able to be reach at the number I gave. She decided to go on maternity leave 2 months early. I did make some calls and it sounds like the jobs are filled yet.

Vanity, Thy Name is Woman*
I have this problem where when my finger nails are long I become so vain it becomes a serious distraction. Right now my nails are the longest they have ever been and this past weekend I gave myself a french manicure. It is the best job I have ever done. My nails are so pretty! Serious distraction time. I pretend to listen to what people are saying but I'm really thinking "I wonder if they've noticed my nails?" Sometimes I catch a glimpse of them and I can't stop staring.
Years ago I was at a convenience store, trying to navigate the aisles. I put my hand on a young man's back as I said "Excuse me". Just then I got distracted by my nails and my hand lingered on his back a little too long. I think I gave him the wrong idea. I need to write a book "She Just Not That Into You -- She's Just Vain About Her Nails".
*This is not the first time I've modified this quote. My football coach of a Grade 12 English teacher was very amused by the discovery that I had anonymously left "Stupidity, thy name is man" on the chalkboard across the hall.
Other considered titles: "I'm So Vain, I Know this Song is About Me"; "Vanity, Vanity, All is Vanity"; "Ecclesiastical Dilemma".
Right now my mom is shaking her head and rolling her eyes (possibly saying "Oh brother"). And yes, I do realize how late it is.

I am a powerful person
I organized people in my Facebook group to complain to CBC about their coverage of the Riders game last night. Guess what?
CBC to broadcast Roughriders-Eskimos finish
I'd like to think I played a small part in it. Honey, nobody messes with my Riders and gets away with it.

New Pictures are Up!
Now that I'm back in Calgary, I've uploaded my pictures from my summer in Regina. Make sure to check out all three sets.
Sleepless in Calgary
It is 4:21am and I am not the least bit tired.
Last night I rolled into the city about 11:30pm.* Shortly after 1 am, I finally settled down for bed. I was tired but I laid there and laid there and laid there until I couldn't stand to be in bed anymore. I researched a school division out of the city** and some potential job opportunities. Still not the least bit tired at 4:30am, I took a shower. Shortly after 5am, I crawled back into bed and did not fall asleep quickly.
I woke up for the second time at about 1pm.***Now as I approach the time where I normally awake during the school year, I sit on my couch, not the least bit tired.****
*Can I still call it last night if it is morning?
**Story for another place and time.
***I was supposed to go to a teacher day at the U of C but since the organizers never got back to me, I didn't know the whens and wheres. I was so tired I did not care.
****I'm not tired but grammar and spelling rules seem to have left my brain.

America's Next Top Model: Groundhog's Day Edition
I was watching a rerun of ANTM and every time the show returned from commercial it started over again. The third time the show started at the beginning I gave up.
