Xerxes is allergic to something. This morning, he sneezed about every five minutes. He looked really tired, having sneezed all night.

He sneezes with his whole body. He shakes his head around and convulses, then he has the funniest face. He looks dazed after a big sneeze, his ears cocked at different angles, eyes squinty, head sideways.

The State is out on video. We looked for it to rent but couldn't find it. I requested it from our library. The TV show buyer there has pretty good taste so I think we'll get it in. I've never seen it, just clips on the internet, but it's one of Ashli's favorite shows and we have similar tastes.

We did find season 2 of Mad Men. That's a good show. We watched it last night.

I'm teaching a class every day this week - sort of a clay-intensive for 13-15 year olds. They seem to really enjoy it although they are all very very quiet and when they talk they talk so low I can't hear them. They're so self conscious and embarrassed. We tried to make flutes today. I hope they work after they are fired!

I think blogger must be in a different time zone. My clock says 4:18, but the time on the blog says 2:09. I'm paranoid about someone at work thinking I blog on the clock. It's so weird.
