Sweet. A brief period of extreme forgetfulness, but now I can enter a whole new log.

So I went to the Burlesque show on Thursday, which was awesome, and which was accompanied by a funny ass band called something like Tsu Tsi Ma Mi Re. Imagine japanese bubble-gum pop girls combined with heavy metal. It was crazy, and hilarious.

I tried to come up with...

Okay, I got a 3 out of 3 on ALL AREAS from my licensing observer!!! YAYAYAYAYAY! Of course, I have two more to do, scheduled for a week from today. So I can't exhale yet.

Nine Inch Nails is good angry, screaming music. Which reminds me of something funny that happened this week in my classroom: my 10th graders are reading Julius Caesar, and we were deconstructing the dialogue when Brutus tells the conspirators that the murder should be quick and necessary, not a mutilation or a butcher job. I asked the kids, why does Brutus say this? Is there a difference? But I didn't get much response. So I gave them a hypothetical scenario and I pretended to shoot an imaginary person, then pretended to hack an imaginary person with an ice pick, violently thrusting my clenched hand like I was stabbing someone in a frenzy. I looked at the students, and they were mesmerized. One said, "Miss, are you ok?" and another said, "Miss, I am a little freaked out that you know how to do that. Is there something you're not telling us?" It made me laugh, even hours later. biggrin

hey i'm excited to get another sg person in alb. as for good places to live....there is a lot of available residences right around unm ( i go there so i know) it all depends on your snob level though....and income. There are some pretty cheap not so bad apartments around unm on like university, or lead, gold, streets like that, but it is a little ghetto..but only a little. ANd if your single and what not, it's not so bad, But if your looking for something a little nicer, just a few blocks south is the downtown area, a little pricer, but nicer and a lot of complexes are gated, and ofcourse there's always the lofts, which are costly, but really nice.

I hope that helps a little, look forward to meeting you! wink

Holy shit! its been forever since I updated. I got a job teaching economics part time at a local state college...must resist urge to corrupt...

Also moved into a new apartment that rocks. Suffice to say that my life is pretty good right now. Course, you have the breakup in the works, extreme debt sort of problems, but at least I have a job now...

Hey, I say corrupt. Didn't your profs try to corrupt you? The weak ones will fall under your spell, and the strong will rise to the top, where they will swim around for a while and maybe get a job teaching at some point.

And we should hang out sometime- you still have my movie. How was drinking down at the docks?

Oh man. I am so sore. Went to the mixed easterns ultimate tournament this weekend. It was in the mid 80's both days. We lost all of our games, which means we came in dead last. Went for a nice slow run this morning to work out the lactic acid from my muscles.

Now I gotta find a job. Been looking, but being committed to...

Congratulations on the M.A. from UMASS; did you ever think about teaching? The whole state is in a fury over recruiting math & science teachers...

The possible visit to the Mardi Gras pricked up my ears: how was it? Does the private dance couch area still look like a serial killer's garage sale? smile

Way to make our next tourney that much easier by blowing Easterns. ooo aaa
