Your Tax Money at Work

I just managed to interupt a class presentation by showing up late, swinging the door wide open and standing there like a deer in headlights. It´s my worst class to boot, Text elaboration. And not because I can´t elaborate text, it´s just I find the teacher´s technique extremely boring. In any case I didn´t have the nerve to waltz in so I´m in the library, making good use of the IT facilities and posting here.

Wednesday night was good, R and I went to see "Cinderella Man". Straight off the bat, it´s a movie about a boxer, and normally I can´t stand sports themed movies, but this one was passable due to the intertwined theme of the Depression. I still wouldn´t recommend it, there seems to be some attempt at making the man in question the poor man´s champion, but he then goes and gives his benefit money back as soon as he can pay it. Excuse me? That´s his money anyway, that is what he´s been paying taxes for his whole damn life. That said, there wasn´t much else of interest showing, I got more excitement from the¨"Coming Soon" posters. "V for Vendetta" will be showing in a couple of months, I can´t wait.

Yesterday was slightly heartbreaking. I took William to daycare and he couldn´t wait to get out of the car. Normally he´s already making pouty faces and clinging on to me for dear life. But yesterday he was bouncy all the way across the yard, through the door, and nearly tried to wriggle out of my arms. One of the nannies took him and he was fine. He even started waving goodbye before I´d even started for the door. I know I should be pleased he´s adapting so well, and am, I´m even proud of the spunky little fellow. But at the same time it kind of hurts. I don´t even want to think about what´s going to happen when he gets a girlfriend...I´ll most likely become slightly murderous.

I want to take street art to the next level, 3D mainly. I think thousands of little sculptures superglued to walls, floors, trees and bathroom doors all over the city would be an interesting excercise, maybe one to get us out of the black and white sticker rut we´re in (Interesting Fact of the day: Did you know that rut is also another word for intercourse?). Let´s hope this isn´t another artistic idea that goes in the "Later" mental bin, like traditional toys made out of giant Lego blocks, and the giant collage on my bedroom wall made up mostly of blank space. Yeeesss I´m a minimalist, really... Will Buy Time Machine, Any Price. Red model preferably, exchange for ostrich farm in Argentina. I´m looking at you Rachel, stop wasting your time with University and make me one.

And to show off my time wasting skills, here a test:
