My "superhero" kick has become a bit more focused, with a bit of a Superman obsession right about now... If superheroes really existed in this world, I would be such a hero groupie! If I don't find something else to distract me soon, I might end up actually reading comics.
Since I'm not doing much by way of entertainment, I figured I'd tell one of my brother's school stories.
My brother Jake was always a quiet kid in high school, a teacher's pet, but he has a bit of a wicked sense of humor. One day, in math class, he was arguing with his friends about the pointlessness of blogs. In order to prove him point, he started what he called a "Calculator Blog" on the classroom's graphing calculators. Every day, right before leaving, he'd write a sentence or two on the calculator he had that day, things like "I'm hungry" "It's rainy today" and "My butt hurts from sitting for so long." He and his friends were having fun with the Calculator Blog.
A few weeks later, his teacher went on a rant against his unruly class and once she's run through the class's misbehavior for that day, she started on a new topic: "And whoever is writing this 'calculator blog' I don't know who it is and I don't want to know, but that has to stop NOW! Everyone in my next class keeps trying to get it and its causing a distraction and it has to end!" Jake and his friends stared straight to the front and forced their mouths into a straight line to keep from bursting into laughter.
He has a few more stories, some even better, but I'll save them for another day.
