Would you brave the weird and haunted shores at world's end to fetch back wit' ye Jack?
Ethan only has two weeks of 6th grade left and he broke out with a lovely case of chicken pox. Apparently the medical community is finding that those kids who got the chicken pox vaccine when they were young are fine for several years, but then develop it around age 10-12 and it's much worse than if they'd gotten it when they were younger. So far Ethan's been fine - none of the flu-like symptoms, just some spots on forehead and chest and quite a lot of spots on his back and scalp. However this does mean he'll miss one of his last two weeks of school. Rather than being happy about missing school, he seems pretty upset about possibly falling behind on his homework so close to the end of the year.
My application to UW was rejected. They suggested I take some classes at MATC first since I've been out of school so long. I'm looking into taking a creative writing course for the summer, then starting on their liberal arts transfer program in the fall. How I'll fit school into my schedule I haven't quite worked out, but I'm sure it will all land in place. In the meantime, my job continually provides me with endless writing fodder.
For the Harry Potter fans out there, you may find it interesting that 12 Grimmauld Place is on Google Maps. It's even better if you zoom all the way in and put it on satellite or hybrid. For being Unplottable, I'm a bit disappointed. We'd better hope Voldemort doesn't have teh internets. Something tells me he's no l33t h@xx0r.
Before we noticed that Ethan had contracted the dreaded pox, he, Jacquelyn, and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, which was exactly what it sold itself as - a giant, action-packed summer blockbuster. It also contained probably the most surreal five minutes of film ever seen in a major motion picture. We also hit up the mall, Borders, dinner at Chili's, and a trip to Target before we cabbed it home. While Jacquelyn went shopping for new undies, Ethan and I hopped into a photo booth. Thus are the results:
That is all. You are dismissed.
