I'm talking to you

Finally getting around to post-holidays organization and putting away all the stuff I accumulated. Some very cool gifts were received, among them a new con shirt:


Sadly I also picked up an earworm from my niece's favorite nursery rhymes CD which was played over and over again anytime we were in the car with her. There is no earthly reason for "Head and shoulders, knees and toes" to still be stuck in my head, but it is. I've tried chasing it out with heavy metal and Irish drinking songs, to no avail. Time for drastic measures and the trusty Robert Palmer CD--if I have to have an earworm, I'd rather it be Simply Irresistible.

I was once disciplined in elementary school for running with a ruler, which is pretty darn close.

Ow, a ruler would hurt in a fall. Remember the wooden rulers with the metal edge inserted into the side of the ruler. The wicked metal edge that would pull away from the wood and stab or cut you? (The same metal edge that doubled as a saw judging by all the notches along the edge of the desks).

As an adult, doesn't a little kid running with a sucker in his or her mouth make you shudder? (As a kid, you never gave it a second thought and lived through it). :-)
