« Previous Entriesand I call myself an educational professional
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008Well, I did slightly better on my Hannah Montana quiz than Lauren, Whitney and I did on our Jonas Brothers quiz. But still, I’m pretty sure all chances of getting myself or my children into an Ivy League school are now out the window. If only I’d applied myself more. Mom, Dad, I’m sorry. […]
Thanks, Danielle!
Friday, September 26th, 2008I had fun with this, but if you don’t like it, blame Danielle. It’s not like you can do anything to her. She lives way over yonder on the other side of the world. It’s SPRING there, even. And it’s not like you can just go into SPRING and get her. It’s a whole other […]
an open letter to Ira David Wood III
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008Dear Ira David Wood III,
Did I get it right? I can never remember if it’s Ira David or David Ira, and last night at the audition, when you introduced yourself as David Wood, well that just threw me off completely. I do apologize about never getting your name right. That must be frustrating for you. […]
audition update
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008First of all, thanks for all the well-wishes and warm fuzzies. The audition was…meh…ok. It wasn’t awful. I wouldn’t even call it bad, really, but I felt like I’d sung better every time I rehearsed it than I did for the audition. It was funny (not so much funny haha, but more like funny what […]
I can’t go on.
Monday, September 15th, 2008I spent the afternoon planning lessons by watching TV. Well, first I finished watching The Big Lebowski (see my very brief review via Twitter) so that I could take it back and get I Love Lucy, which I need for class tomorrow. Then I had to watch Lucy so that I could write some comprehension […]
writer’s block
Thursday, September 11th, 2008You may have noticed that sometimes I disappear for a while, and then I come back claiming that I’ve been busy or that nothing interesting has happened, and while it may be true that I’ve been busy, I rarely fail to write for lack of interesting material. The inside of my head is a constant […]
The Emperor’s New Clothes (include an American flag)
Thursday, September 4th, 2008I took my this-semester class on their inaugural foray into classroom theatrics today. It’d been a while since I’d had a class willing to take part in an acting activity (or any activity, really, that involved them possibly looking like imbeciles), so when they seemed not only willing, but excited even, to put on mini-productions […]
confession
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008I put “Watch Arrested Development” on my to-do list for the afternoon just so I could be sure to accomplish something. If I added “nap” to the list, I could be super-productive. Ok fine, back to lesson planning.
stay of execution
Monday, September 1st, 2008Whew, so I found out that my afternoon class actually starts NEXT Tuesday, so I have another week to get ready for it. Which means I spent the whole day in my jabambas watching Arrested Development.
I keeeeeeed. I only watched like two episodes, and I really did do a lot of work on the class, […]
Happy Labor(less) Day!!
Monday, September 1st, 2008Happy long weekend! I hope you’re not at work as I am not at work. However, having neglected to do any work for the past two weeks (unless you count blogging, reading/commenting on other people’s blogs, watching Arrested Development, registering on various get-yourself-published websites and looking for other jobs work, which, apart from the AD-watching, […]
