the other day i was channel surfing (as you do) and i happened to stumble upon TVNZ7 which shows retro stuff that we used to love, back when new zild was simple. i found 'a dog's show' which the husband of a friend has mentioned in his blog. there were two dogs that i was watching. one was called dick, the other peter. the farmer spent his time saying up dick, down dick, in dick, out dick...and then the same for peter. i think he saw the irony in his dogs' names.
speaking of dogs...three of my 12 year old boys are having a pissing contest to see who is top dog. it has lasted four weeks now. why do the rest of us have to suffer? and when will they realise that in my classroom i am top dog?

a more few musings
is multiple personality disorder (or dissociative identity disorder, DID, cos we love acronyms) the new flavour of the month for american tv programmes? and i love tara and also loved sybil but i'm thinking lie to me, while a great show (especially now that mekhi phifer has been added, thanks wiki), is one step too far.
were the nz judges for masterchef picked to make donkey look good? their eccents are way more worser than his. is it ok to hate that the nz show is based in the aussie show? and anyway, who cares.
FB is being a shit at the moment. i hate that i've been sucked in...(showing your age statement alert...like the sybil one wasn't!...).. i remember the time before FB. it was a simpler time. we talked to each other. so if you've done anything interesting in the last few days, sorry i missed it. but seeing as the internet is forever i'm sure i'll catch up.
still hate the first day back. i'm hoping to recapture my title as meanest teacher ever. yesterday (day one) i had three year 8 boys on time out at morning tea and one at lunch. i gave the first detention of the year today. i don't want a repeat of last year's shit class for the whole year. i'm being a hard-ass.
my current least favourite word...cheftestant. a contestant in a cooking show. meh.
and on a positive note. assignment three handed in and 8,000 word lit review pretty much done. yay me!
