'Tis a glorious thing to have a three day weekend. This will be the only one I'll ever have, but it's been mostly enjoyable nonetheless. I say mostly because my cold has finally caught up with me and I feel a little like I've been run over by a moped, but I think I'll live.

Gravity's birthday was great fun...very small but still very fun. I had another one of my weird heart murmur-y things. Sometimes I'll be doing absolutely nothing and my heartrate will jump to about 110 beats/minute. They usually also make me quite dizzy, so I had to go sit down for a while. they usually last about half an hour or so, I think. Maybe I should get this checked out, since i have no idea what causes it, and it's a little scary.

Something even scarier happened to Babar on Friday. A kid in her class wrote a letter to another kid about severely hurting Babar and stabbing another girl to death. This somehow ended up in the hands of her teacher. Now, of course, it's Monday, and nothing has been done about it. BAbar has to go to school and sit in the same classroom as this kid. The VP talked to her today to ask her if she felt threatened by this kid, and she said yes, so he told her that she had no reason to be. WHAT THE FUCK? she has a perfectly VALID reason to be frightened, and threatened. I seem to remember last year when Babar was implicated in a smoking on school property incident, she was suspended in about three minutes without any consideration. And this kid gets...nothing? What the hell is wrong with our education system? I don't think this kid should be expelled, or forced to change schools (as per last week's Boston Public), but at the very least a suspension or some counselling or a psychological evaluation should be in order here. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get things moving here?

Back to work tomorrow...and in costume, no less! I think I'll bring my camera and get pictures.
