Waffle and Writings!

Thank you Mr Obama and please stick to your word and don't change it for any one. I know some people didn't like this statement of his, but I did and believe if he can stick to that, it will be the best thing for the ME. Israel is the strongest and most just democracy in the region despite what some others would have the world believe. The only thing is, it may place him in some hot water with some people in the world who might not be the best people to have as enemies. Still one has to stand up... Sign in to see full entry.

I love Alison Dubois's husband. He is so cute and I do like the show immensely. Spent the morning in screenwriting and am feeling depressed and sad about my screenplay. It needs a lot of work. There is another Jewish person in my class. I am thinking of matching him up with a friend of mine who has two kids she is also quite not religious as this guy is also secular. We ended up having a conversation about relationships which is what my screenplay is about. He felt I didn't show the love between... Sign in to see full entry.

A great show about how advertising sells. It is on the ABC and it is as funny as, I laugh my self silly everytime I see it. This week their competition to sell the unsellable was for two agencies to sell Bagdad as the ideal 'holiday destination'. Both ads were high quality but I have to admit the ad with the retractable testicles and the idea of "do YOU have the balls to go to Bagdad for a holiday was crude but funny.' On saleability that ad had the vote for today's world but the other ad was... Sign in to see full entry.

L has sent me the most amazing flowers for my birthday today. I am really touched and even overawed by her generous and giving nature. We taught together at a High School in country NSW where we both had some totally unpleasant experiences and we bonded through our natural empathy and understanding of the universe from different perspectives that touched in the right places. The flowers are yellow roses with purple dahlias. I feel so treasured and will post the picture on this blog once it is on... Sign in to see full entry.

Threading Through city streets People Pass One another. Avoiding closer contact. Yet Aching for touch, They step sideways Gripping Bags Under armpits Crimped close To sides, Or they stand Just Outside the maw Of tall buildings Burdened with mirrors To the 28th floor Or more Reflecting a landscape they are too busy to see, Sucking the soul Of the city Burning Through cigarettes Greedy For air For time For freedom For to be More......

Last week I was surprised to receive in my bank account a total sum of $2,141.10 from the NSW Department of School Education. I didn't find out until Friday as I was racking my brains as to how to pay my son's school fees and the rent on the 7th of June for a month. Now we are both living alone until we get a new boarder I had to find $1,733.00 til July when it goes up to $1,867.00 a month. Landlords in Melbourne do have to make a living like anyone else. Now I did contact my lawyer because my... Sign in to see full entry.

Absoluting disgusting story I am watching about a man who had three sons who he trained to be boxers. His name was Ces Waters and the whole story makes my skin crawl by what this man did to his wife and his children. He was a pervert and just a really horrid person. I don't even want to read his biography, that is how strongly I feel about him. I guess like Ivan Milat's story you sometimes don't want to be tainted by pure evil. He bullies his son into murdering a man that his wife, the boy's... Sign in to see full entry.

I never fail to be amazed by my son who will be five in early August. Today I sent him up stairs by himself to the toilet. He had to do a number 2 and I told him when he asked me to come up with him ( I have the official role of the royal bottom wiper) that he is a big boy and can do the deed himself or he should at least try to. So his nibs goes up by himself and then later comes down and I feel all must be well that is until I notice that his undies are on strangely - the waist is around one... Sign in to see full entry.

Came home from my fourth day of teaching today. A bit exhausting, but then I haven't taught for nearly two years and I have a couple of psychological barriers to overcome with regard to my self confidence from events in 2006. The students are interesting from Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, Colombia and Turkey but they seem bored. I wonder if it is me or the fact that they need more complex reading texts and activities connected to more complex texts.I have a text that I am using, but I feel that it is...
