The Ramblings of my Disorganised Mind

Warning, Will Robinson! Clarion Zone!

Clarion South starts in just under two weeks (January 3, to be precise). Since this is my first year "on committee" (I was "Dogsbody Number Two" last year), I'm likely to throw in a few comments. Or so. I'll also post up any blogs of this years' victi-, er, I mean, successful students, as I become aware of them.

For now, the first couple are here:

It's a little rude of Clarion South to be interrupting Christmas and New Year and my birthday and stuff, but we make allowances. :-D

On other stuff, I had a fun weekend.

Saturday I went to a film with my older boys, I got some free tickets to the Rotary hildren's Film festival at Noosa and we had a choice between Polar Express and Christmas at The Kranks. Krunks? I don't remember. We saw the latter (it was a no brainer choice, really) and it was actually quite funny.

I then left my boys alone with a box of matches and a running chainsaw (yes, I am joking!!!) and hightailed it to Brisbane where I spent a pleasant evening at Nicky's being threatened, for no real good reason I can think of, with a smothering murder on a regular basis from Damon. He's got all this passive aggression going on. Who knew?

Mind you, the fact that I was teasing him unmercifully may have had something to do with it. OK, I never actually said anything, but he knew. Yes, he did, grasshopper. No, I'm not going to say what I was teasing him about, she says in a dignified tone. That would be telling. Sheesh. What happenes at the Nicky's stays at the Nicky's. :-P

Nicky made a really yummy souffle and we watched Muppet Christmas (not the Carol one with Scrooge in it) and the Black Adder Christmas Carol (except I dozed off half way through that one. Been a long week with not a lot of time to sleep). Nicky prevented my murder, which was nice. We opened presents, which was also nice. :-)

Sunday I went to see I heart (love?) Hukabees with Scott. Weird movie. I think it's one of those films you either like or not, that you either see the point of or don't, that you see as amusing or stupid. I'm in the "like, see the point, amusing" camp. Mostly. Watching Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin do long-term husband and wife was very funny actually, not in a "laugh out loud" way but in an ironic way.

Anyhow, I'd like to finish today's ramble with a quote from one of my Lifeline friends, Dark Spider. It's originally here. I like it because it matches in with the sentiments I expressed on my Music as Life post. Let's face it, we love to quote people who agree with us.

"Lots of people are willing to die for the person they love, which is a pity, for it is a much grander thing to live for that person"
