Tales of death, blood and gore

Isabel is turning out to be quite the little hunter
in the past few hours
she has paid me a tribute
consisting of a mouse and a small bird

[I know, I know it gets old with]
[the king being worshiped by pussy]
[but deal, I am bragging here for christ sake]

-

So the other day
I had a glass break
with my hand inside it
[don't ask]
this resulted in a number of nasty lacerations
and wasted about half a roll of paper towels
[which were drenched in blood]

not to mention leaving a trail
of blood splatter
worthy of a low budget horror flick
as I dashed for something to stop the bleeding
or at least contain it

more than one of the wounds
had penetrated the layers of skin
and cut into the tissue underneath

and it looks like I will get at least one nifty new scar
to go with my fairly extensive collection

but anyway
after stopping the bleeding
marveling at how well the four or five ounces of blood I lost
had managed to get everywhere
I set about cleaning up the mess

but apparently I missed a spot
as the other day
I noticed a drop of dried blood on my keyboard
so
of course
I had to take pictures of it

and I have been wrangling
over the right words to title the image

my idea is something glib
about the cost/effect of technology
but my ideas so far
either suck
or are too long and unwieldy
[and thereby suck]

so I thought I would open the floor to yall
see what ideas you could come up with

( anyway, here is the photo )

There are teachers, and then there are educators.....

According to a news report, a certain private school in Victoria, Australia,
recently was faced with a unique problem.

A number of 12 year old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put
it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick
they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip
prints. Every night, the
maintenance man would remove them and the next day, the girls would put them
back. Finally, the principal decided that something had to be done.

She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the
maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a
major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the
maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out
a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror
with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
