Ok off to work on writing more course stuff - laters

Got a ding in my windshield today on the way home from work - so far it is small and all but still - what a pisser

Well, whew today was long but good. Started earlier to try and get little one and hamster dropped off early as today was faculty in service at the high school The in service was good, attended a few things and presented two workshops on collaborative communication - here is a copy of the presentation http://www.slideshare.net/secret/c2oaDshJc7Ykhz I liked how the workshops went and I think the teachers enjoyed them too. Then ran to the college to teach my environmental science course - we started the hydrology section. From there I headed back to Atlantic City and met some people from work. We went to a comedy show and then the karoke bar for a bit (FABULOUS PEOPLE WATCHING - wahoo and no I did not sing :P ) - then headed home to grab a little sleep as tomorrow is the lab for environ sci. So long, but a good day : ) YAY

Note to self do not go reading a bunch of Nikki and Nora stories and then insert a forensic CSI type character and a coputer tech character into stories - ended up not getting anyyyyy sleep ;P Off to teach about Earth Materials and then get a walk in to the comic book shop and perhaps tackle the mounds of grading I should have done last night if brain had not been preoccupied.

My offering for song choice for valentine's Day - fitting Friday the 13th comes right before... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTFI9sQdpGo Fine, Fine Line from Avenue Q There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend; There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend; And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb. There's a fine, fine line between love And a waste of time. There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie; And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye." I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime, But there's a fine, fine line between love And a waste of your time. And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore. I don't think that you even know what you're looking for. For my own sanity, I've got to close the door And walk away... Oh... There's a fine, fine line between together and not And th...

OK, been busy extraordinaire so blogging falls to the "damn I am tired and not even posting so not blogging either" roadside :P So let's see – have a GIS project coming up three days next week for two different periods for the Natural Science class – about 45 students – that is taking time. Been preparing a project proposal for the Hospitality and Tourism class for a convention in the summer (which I do not get to go to which is a bummer but the economy is drying up everything) This grant came through and I have to write a ton of digital literacy and web tools classes and like by March/april Been playing with this CSS tab template to try and design this one web site I have my historical geology class – we are starting with geologic time and finishing up rocks Environmental Science we just did the tragedy of the commons lab and working through energy and then ecology My high school web design class is starting to work on refresher HTML pages and then on to XHTML There is s...

Yes I changed my song, not because i condone the drinking until you are in that state, but because I have been playing this song on repeat as the feel and overall theme of not carrying about things getting you down just dance is where i need to try and keep my head or my morale and ood will forever be low... I have been having a hard time writing and doing anything... I just gotta take care of a few things and hopefully life will be better. These just happen to be things that can not be fixed over night and take time and patience, but I am getting so tired... - ok - just going to go dance.... Lady Gaga - Just Dance

Ok - so yes this seems silly to get giddy about, but I learned something new today, did something I have never done before - I called someone in another country. It was so cool, we still are trying to get the texting down, but I actually got to hear her voice. her being a person I RP with who lives in Sweden (and I must say, oooo what a voice - I love putting faces and voices with online persona's... and yes, I liked her voice for the 1 minute call we had. But we had to figure out calling codes and country codes and it was cool - not just hearing her voice, but the whole experience... I love exploring new things I have a three day weekend - gotta use the time to get my one college class ready as well as getting my other classes ready... just a bitter cold is hitting the area and that makes walking and such hard - I am headed to the mall, this time just to walk hehe Well as soon as the fix it guy comes to look at my dryer, hope that gets fixed... and ooo going to Vegas in June- yaya...

Well Girl Scout Cookie Time is starting so if you want some, come and get them ;) I like the new Kelly song - hence putting it on my myspace - it kinda fits a couple things... :P but I really just like the theme of the song and the pop-ness of it (yes very different from my last song by Nightwish, which again if you have not listened to them - try them - you might like them hehe) Been finishing catching up on the New Doctor Who and now about to work through Torchwood. Also Sanctuary - loving it loving it - myyyyyyy hero is Dr. Magnus hehe College classes about to start up, whew, time goes fast. Rearranging a few things with the classes so trying to get that finished, then must turn attention to updating the Advanced web design class... also we got a grant so more writing and fun :P The Brownie Skate night fundraiser was a success, other than the much too young 4th - 6th grade kids asking for songs that are - wellllll I could not play in mixed company, I am like do you even know wha...

Due to the events of the last week AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG ok I feel slightly better no wait AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG IN WITH THE GOOD OUT WITH THE BAD (REST OF POST BLEEPED DUE TO BAD LANGUAGE)

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 t...

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 tribu...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...
