So, apparently I do have a biological clock and it has an alarm.
I applied to this job a while ago (and kind of assumed it was all done with). I am really excited, not because it is so late and I stand a good chance, but because they want me to have a ten minute lesson plan prepared for them. I get to TEACH!!!
So, which of the following do you think I should do...

Love him or hate him or ambivolent about him, he was an icon...we all knew who he was and now he is dead.
It was not phenomenal...but it was good. My biggest problem had to do with Zachary Quinto as Spock. I really liked every other character in the film, the plot, and the script...but, Zach didn't convince me he was anyone other than Sylar.
Tonight the Barber of Seville is playing and I am going. I'm really excited... though I can't get the song from Repo: A Genetic Opera (At the Opera Tonight) out of my head.
I'm pretty sure no one will be dressed like Bugs Bunny or Elmer Fudd...but, It will still be great.
So, last night I went with the lovely
and
to see Monsters Versus Aliens at midnight. (thus the exasporation at it only being 10) It was a fun movie! Though instead of launching into how much I laughed (and how at times we were the only group laughing) I am going to the social side of things, the message (if you please).
( strong females )In many ways I felt the whole point of the movie is to mock the old notions of the female lead. It isn't exactly a new story about finding ones strength from within, but it was so beautifuly blatent that one can't help but applaud the idea that the only character that does ANYTHING worthwhile is a female. Every other character is comic relief. While in the more recent animated movies women have been taking a stronger lead, in this film she takes it and kicks ass. I'm too tired to really go into details (and I don't want to post spoilers)...now I take a brief nap...if only.
If it was a stroke it was small. She is fine, there was just a lot of spasms along her right side...but still. ARGH.
I of course was dreaming of a full time position that didn't involve hunting for another job this spring...but thats the few years of teaching. The school is the same one I did my student teaching at, which is cool, since the guy calling was very happy to hear I've been teaching and excited that I wanted to come back. (it could be he is desperate...but I like to think I make a good impression)
Today is my Mom's birthday, so it is dinner with her for the evening, it should be fun and relaxing.
NOTHING!!!! (okay I have a bunch of projects to grade and a house to clean) and jobs to apply for)
I'll sleep in (until 8ish) I'll stay up late (midnight seems reasonable)
Hellooooo World (suddenly I like christmas again)
Stress leads to less sleep, less sleep leads to dampened immune system, dampened immune system with children that are the equivalant to plague rats=Sick me
This makes 3 colds this year. I think M gave me this one though not the kiddies.
