Laundry Day

Alright, alright. I will update my blog. People, in the future...please be patient. Things have been busy in the life of Brionna, as you will see below.

Summer School is officially over. Hooray! Please observe the creative genius that is my fourth (and fifth) graders during our unit on Greece. Television will be the death of any future creativity in youth. I swear by that. My students cannot draw something out of their own imagination. It is either copied straight from a book, or it is a tennis shoe. Seriously. If I see another Air Force One or some other Nike/Bape designed shoe, I will vomit. But, below, I was at least pleased to not see any corporate logos or Sponge Bobs on the Grecian urns that they decorated. Well done class.
This past Sunday, the Old 97's came to good ol' Toad's Place to put on an awesome show. Later that night, Mickael got to drool over Rhett as we interviewed him for the next issue of RVA. It was actually pretty disgusting. I am not exaggerating when I say that drool was running down Mickael's chin and his palms were sweaty. I think his nipples were hard, too. He needs to get over this man crush.
So, the part of the blog that I am getting a lot of positive response to is about my food postings. I must admit, they are my favorite part, too.
Above- Chocolate Torte from Cous Cous. By the way, Cous Cous makes the most bangin' coffee, too. My cup of coffee went perfectly with the light, soft dessert.
If you are walking down the street and get a whiff of a car that smells like Bath and Body Works, or the Yankee Candle Store, tell them that they lost their auto fragrances near ADA Gallery. This person is clearly putting a spin on the massive-collection-of-keychains phase that we all went through.

Quinn, while you are out getting stung by jelly fish, I am being a lazy ass at Mickael's boss' pool. In case you can't tell, it is salt water and slate lined. I know, disgusting, right?
Me at the disgusting pool. Wondering what to eat for lunch.

Above- Lunch. Turkey sandwich w/ Cheddar cheese, Duke's Mayo, and tomatoes. Funyuns, salt and vinegar chips, and cucumbers on the side. So delicious.

The boo bear waiting for something to fall.

getting stung by a jelly-fish sucked. and on tv destroying creativity you should read 'timequake' by kurt vonnegut. in it, the fictitious science fiction writer, Kilgore Trout, writes a story called 'The Sisters B-32' that is all about television ruining creativity. maybe i will transcribe that section of the book and email it to you.
