time flies... is it fun?

Yeah a new song -I like this one - it took me awhile to settle on what it means to me (and yes it is Dancer not Dancers and it refers to being a puppet - hence the cu the cord line) - actually I like it more because of my writing - I have this one scene in my head that goes with this song - two characters I have have met many times in previous lives - and with each incarnation they found each other, but then faced tragic death just as they found.... well the song Human by the Killers is used in the present day, when the two are dancing, it is a magic contest (they are witches in this incarnation) and well the one does not know she is a Muse witch - but the music and the magic come up during a dance contest and well, their past lives play, seeing small snippets, of them meeting, being happy and then dying.... it's a bit more complicated, but it is my scene hehehehe and my mind hehehe and I like complicated.... but the question are we human or are we dancer is cool Wow Thanksgiving i...

Sunday Situations

Well put away the halloween stuff and little one wanted to do a bit of christmas I a like sheesh but we got out her Nutcracker collection (dang she has a lot of those and in different forms) and a couple of the other animated things and listened to Xmas music in the car As we were unpacking, we were in the sunroom, which is all windows and looks into the backyard. We look and there is a squirrel on top of the little shed. There is a small tree growing next to the shed and some limbs overhang, well the squirrel plucks a berry from the tree and then goes to the very top and edge and sits there, nibbling like crazy, peeling the berry and eating the inside. It did this for about 6 berries and we just sat there watching it, it wa an awesome daughter mother moment Later we were messing around in Walmart enjoying watching the people and checking out the displays. Another neat things was what we stumbled into accidentally yesterday. We went to the mall after the brownie outing, was just me...

The Week That Was

Actually week was not too bad - although have tests in all of my classes which means enormous piles of grading.... I hope to wade through it all by tomorrow night Been watching this new show, although it is not so new - Sanctuary. It is new because it "premiered" on Sci Fi channel in October - not so new because it has been around for over an year - it premiered as a Web show - which is where I fell in love with it and its main character, Helen Magnus. I had found an RP group - put together by a person who interviews a lot of the actors associated with the show as well as hlpeing to maintain the main fan site. Well we finally started the RP about a month ago and wow - I got to meet a lot of cools people, from all over (this side of the Atlantic and the other as well) - and the stories and writing is cools - I play Helen Magnus (Yipeee I am loving here, the actress Ms. Tapping and the RP Helen) and a made up - Oliver, a Cabal member who is making trouble for Sanctuary. What...

Comment to last blog post

yes there is a reason why I put that song up - I am liking the entire Linkin Park CD actually - it resonates so well of late

Music Rant

ok you know - this new practice of putting only 30 seconds or so of a song on to be played instead of the whole song is BOGUS - like I want the whole song of what I just put up on my myspace profile - so, since i is only 30 seconds I must send you to a possible unauthorized place - and listen to the whole song here :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZIummTz9mM In other music news, Little T and I were in the halloween store tonight (gawd it is fun watching the last minute costume people and all hehe) but a radio station was there and let little T spin the wheel and she won a CD hehe - so we listened to Duffy on the way home - interesting sound - especially considering I a dressing as a hippie tomorrow ok catch ya laters "Leave Out All The Rest" -- Linkin Park I dreamed I was missing You were so scared But no one would listen Cause no one else cared After my dreaming I woke with this fear What am I leaving When I'm done here So if you're asking me I want you to know...

Damn - what a week

Well – I was running crazy last week. I agreed to substitute for the ag sci teacher, which meant I did all six of her classes and then did ALL of my classes and work too…. I learned a lot about taking care of Poinsettias hehe and some other fun stuff in the greenhouses. In turn I taught the students about GIS and GPS – we started a project and I hope to finish it – the students were great – for the most part :P Also finding I am in a very different mindset the last few weeks and well, it's very different from where I usually am this time of the year… it is, I am… different In addition, I had the check engine light come on at the beginning of the week, had to finish grading a kickload of assignments and getting a couple of tests ready. I also am finding this one class I took on extra – a high school Digital Literacy course taught online, is ending up being way loads more work – but on the plus side, again I am learning a lot and interacting with students from an urban New York C...

Happy Metric Day, New song, keeping hope

Ok - yesterday (10/10) was Metric day - so celebrate and go out and walk a km or drink a liter : ) Also was teacher in-service for the high school - taught a couple of workshops and then was off to teach Environmental (working through Earth materials and plate tectonics - wheeeee Made it through lab this morning and now about to go for a walk - hit the comic book shop, then go pick up ingredients to make lots of fruity drinks for tonight as I watch the first disc of a British series called Urban Gothic, which looks to be very cool as the first episode has Jemma Roper in it who I like form another British series - Hex (although Hex was basically a teen soap opera with the theme of witchcraft lmao) - also been watching the retooled Sanctuary on Sci-Fi - will be starting up a writing group for that (I get to play Helen - boo-yaaa) and setting up another group for the tv shows Bloodties (I get to play Vicki - triple booooooo-yaaaaaaaa) So yes, lots of fun tonight.... Also changed up song...

October already here

Wow October is here, ups and downs in this month I like Halloween, Theresa and I already decorating a little and majorstuff this weekend. But it is also Breast Cancer month, in fact Friday is Denim and pink day at the high school - Next Wednesday is my mom's birthday - she died from breast cancer.... strange irony, but then the world loves irony, sarcasm, sadism... well, ok, I am getting funky again, and please excuse me if I do for the next bit, this time period and the anniversary of when she died always give me the blues... but... halloween is around the corner and so is a very busy October.... I shall wear my pink ribbon with happy thoughts, but... sometimes I have to take the ribbon off... sometimes

And the road trip to Arizona with Theresa was the best, we did a lot, I'll try to list some stuff soon. And i am now starting up all my classes, I have a busy schedule, which I'll detail later, gotta scoot here in a few.

Nice professional development workshop

Attended an all day workshop yesterday with a couple of other teachers at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. They offer awesome programs for teachers. This workshop covered a personal finance curriculum for middle and high school – it was great. They deliver the workshop by actually teaching the lessons and making the teachers participate as students – I love it. Then hit Chinatown for some nice food, always cool to go into one of the locals only places and grab some yummy food. I do miss living in the city.... Finished the staff training for the Summer Bridging program I coordinate – whew – good group this year, hope all goes well… doing the last bits and pieces to get everything organized. Got selected for jury duty - I will have to go in sept. 8 and see what happens. My online class is almost completed – final grades due the 9th – one more test and a couple labs to go. I am in the middle of the class I am taking – working on Wikis and visual literacy, which means playing...

a movie that caught me by surprise

Ok so - joined netflix and going like crazy with that - it already came in handy as I had to take little one to work yesterday and she watched Clash of the Titans online through that service - I like that movie too, and Sinbad and all those stop motion movies, ahhhh the time before digital hehe The title of this blog however is because of a movie I picked up when in Orlando and finally now watching - Desert Hearts.... can I just say, holy cow and wow and [bleep] Something about this movie just.... kept me watching and no not just the infamous sex scene :P ok that helped... but, just, what a story... what a story, I just keep going wow....

still stuck

poop plane still having problems, i prolly here until 4 or later crapola

airport blahs

Well, i am typing from the Alanta airport where I am stuck as my flight is now 2 hours delayed, this has been the return trip of delays - my first flight was delayed about two hours and now this one. I have been in airplanes and airports about 12 hours now - whoooo-wheeee hehe I read some of the comics I picked up, typed up a cooooolll plot for one of the writing groups (it is a nice little plot that should be fun), been rereading a couple stories and thinking and then people watching. I have a ton to get caught up on once I am am home, but it is worth it - I had an awesome time on the visit. I visited a couple of friends in the Seattle area. It was awesome, got to see the area, go to Mount St. Helen's and lots of fun (did I mention I created a cool Pirate and watched some cool video game play). There was lots more fun too, but not enough time. I hope to get to go back again soon. I will be turning my focus to the Sumemr Bridging program coming up and then a driving trip to Ariz...

Back home in one piece - on to next adventure

Ok I am back home and the flight home was fine, no probs and everything was smooth - saw my boss in the Orlando airport as she was arriving for her vacation - that was a cool co-winky dink - it's fun when stuff like that happens. I had a good and productive conference - am behind in my work but hope to catch up this weekend. Especially since I leave on Friday for a 4 day trip - whooo : ) I do have awesome stories from my trip - like the one night coming home from Downtown Disney, I was the only one on the shuttle and the driver just talked and talked - talked about his job and the economy and how drivers are paid and how he just found out he has diabeties. It was a wonderful rich conversation with a local and I enjoy those, love to listen. DId a lot of that actually, and that is one thing I love about traveling, learning the stories. I had anothr encounter with locals on Tuesday night after the very FABULOUS Pat Benatar concert - holy moley and holy vocal chords batman that woma...

Hello from Orlando

Well my conference trip has started out interesting so far :P Started with an hour and half delay as they had to have a new flight attendant come in (no idea why). Then on the shuttle ride from the airport, the driver had this static-y Christian preacher on and I got an earful about Ezekiel. The I get to the hotel and find I grabbed the wrong folder and left my conference voucher back in NJ – still waiting to see how that resolves. I make it up to my room – 666 (66 on the 6th floor) and head out to find some lunch. I get rained on and then when I get back to room, my floor is soaked (the maintenance just left, they "vacuumed" the floor and that was it – I think the cooler leaked. We will see… And this is just the highlights, there have been many other wonderful events :P and oh did I mention the huge ass brown moth on the ceiling of my room that has been there the whole day and not moved….. I am soooooooo hitting the bar later hehehe Ohhhhh this will be an adventurous w...

Little pieces of blue paper

Just a short note as heading into a nice three day weekend I got my Standard certificate in the mail the other day. This means I am an official teacher. It is so awesome, finally… yay : ) of course still lots to do but… wow… : ) It is a nice feeling to see that little blue piece of paper, a thing that validates what I do and want to do. Alright, will try to write more later, have NAF conference coming up next week and working on a few other projects… and trying to keep my head clear and not… muddled and down… just gotta dance through life and enjoy what I have, not waste time tripping as I am always looking across the river and wanting something else… Happy Fourth everyone
