Trying to catch up

OK - finally starting to catch up on things... I have two classes completely finished, two to go... but have a major lesson Monday for the high school students - I am teaching about blogs and wikis as we start a digital literacy unit - yay

I managed to post some more of the Dances series on the web site and actually starting to catch up on things - I really like the Dances series - I have ideas for a couple more - just gotta con my co writer into writing them - hehe - speaking of - been working on some other stories with fabulous people - gotta get those up and all too...

My boss liked her gift - I was the only one in the pollyanna for our office to do something funny and all.... she use to be a tech teacher so I gave her some gag tech gifts and then the serious gift was a book called "The Big Switch" which is EXCELLENT - it really gives a cool idea about technology and how it is changing.

My goal next week is to clean the house and find some live music :P

and can not wait to see my sisters... little one and I miss them so much....

I do like the NetFlix service, I have been working through the New Doctor Who, little one and I just finished the Muppet Series and the next series we are watching is... Pee-Wee's playhouse (hehe yes I remember watching that during Saturday Morning Cartoons....) We are having a good time just picking a series and then working our way through it.... she asks a lot of questions which is actually good as it makes me see things differently

NetFlix also has a lot of old series, British stuff, indie stuff and other hard to find... It's FANTASTIC! ok yes still got that docwho saying in my head hehe

hmmm, there were a few other things to mention, but I've forgotten them, oh well, they'll come back later, probably in a dream, mannnn I been having weird dreams.

Like one, I was eating crushed ice, yes I got some crushed ice like in a sno cone but with no flavor and was eating it. Then there was one with some of my characters, a couple of people have been in a lot of them, then another about going to see some music, then this weird one that I know had to do with cats and snow, and well, a few others... and the thing is, they have been so vivid I remember a lot when i wake up, which considering my memory, that's pretty amazing...

I think I am going to get a book on dreams, i saw one in the dollar store... it would be a hoot to read if nothing else hehe

Music that is just "Fantastic!"

OK – from the title, yes I have been rewatching season 1 of the New Doctor who and now have his catch phrase of "FannnnTastic!" in my head :P

I changed my profile song and whooo - go listen to this group Nightwish - a writing friend from Sweden (we met through the Sanctuary writing group I have been playing in...) introduced this group to me and I am in loveeee their range --- ok listen to Sleeping Sun, Dark Chest of Wonders, I Wish I had an Angel, Gethsemane, Gothic Sanctuary, Ghost Love Score, ok I still have not listened to all, but if you want to see a range.... whew... I am about to listen to their cover of Phantom of the Opera.... heavy Metal and an orchestra and operatic solos... yes similar to some other great bands....

I will try to write more - been busy - falling in love with Sanctuary and Amanda Tapping - the last show, "Requiem" was my favorite and to me it was such a metaphor for mental illness in so many ways I caught so much, plus the sneaky tribute to The Shinning... I never thought anyone could have an expression/insane smile to match Mr. Nicholson's Here's Johnny... but there is this one moment, where, ohhhhhh that was great... and she looks good all wet too ;)


Ok - off to other things - Galaxy Quest and other hehe laters


Nightwish - The Escapist - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGFYlTfB95E

Who's there knocking at my window?
The owl and the Dead Boy
This night whispers my name
All the dying children

Virgin snow beneath my feet
Painting the world in white
I tread the way
and lose myself into a tale

Come hell or high water
My search will go on
Clayborn Voyage without an end

A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone
Bring me back to life

A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
It all starts with a lullaby

Journey homeward bound
The sound of a dolphin calling
Tearing off the mask of man
The tower-my sole guide

This is who I am
Escapist
Paradise Seeker
Farewell, time to fly
Out of sight
Out of time
Away from all lies

A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze

A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone
Bring me back to life

A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
It all starts with a lullaby

A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone
Bring me back to life

A nightingale...
In a Golden Cage...
