many things make a post

Like many of my unionized teaching brethren (and sistern), I celebrated Labor Day by teaching three classes and wondering why there wasn't any mail. But said union did have their annual protest lunch, so all is as expected.

Had a stunning realization this morning that I have far too much to do in the time I've allotted for it -- and the time I've alloted keeps getting impinged upon by various kid-related stuff. School starts tomorrow, tho, so the end is nigh. By this time next week, I'll either be back on track or curled up in a ball under my desk.

So, a list:

* Have a lot of brush? Rent-a-ruminant!

* The benefits of writing a novelization of a tv show (in this case, my favorite summer programming: Burn Notice).

* Thanks to Doula K who sent the link along: Portrayal of Obama as a snob hailed as a step forward for blacks. I nearly wet myself.

* Guttersnipe yarn not only spins lovely yarns (including some inspired by Sweeney Todd), the steampunk yarn comes with trinkets that you can knit into whatever you make.

* The "Clone Doctor" has a blog. I want to know who is writing it because dang if it doesn't "sound" like the Doctor, so much so that it is breaking my heart a little bit. I honestly can't tell if it's fan love or something cooked up by the show-runners. Thoughts?

* Organic Pancakes from a Can. Ah, capitalism.

* Good advice on learning how to knit. Could also be applied to learning how to do anything, frankly. 

* What should be the last word on Sarah Palin's daughter -- but probably won't be.

My friend K suspects that she has a mouse. I offered to lend her a cat. I think Elektra has it in her to be a good mouser, if given the chance. Hmmm. I wonder if there is money to be made on rent-a-mouser.

Does letting the XX factor have the last word on Palin's daughter mean we can't make snarky abstinence-only sex edu quips?
