Thoughts serious and... not
BBC America is showing the first episode of season two Torchwood, and so am flipping between Jack Harkness (mmm) as he rejoins his team (capedcruaser92, if there isn't at least a second of his date next week, I will be highly disappointed) and season eight of America's Next Top Model. Younger Sister is in the city again for the night with her boyfriend and is leaving me on Monday morning to go to Hawaii with my parents. Not that I'm bitter or anything XD
But I survived my second week of art teaching (with 50% less oil pastels all over) and I didn't drown in all the rain. Of course, now it's raining again. The highlight of my weekend was getting an email that I officially (finally!) have my California teaching credential, which is excellent. So I'm planning on working on some applications, because it's almost teacher contract time.
I got to have coffee with several of my new friends (assistant teachers at Labyrinth) on Thursday, which was awesome fun. Hopefully I'll get a chance to sub on Monday (though I need to work that out with taking Sister to the airport, hmm) or Tuesday, because I miss going there.
Also, for great amusement, while I was subbing (mostly babysitting the middle schoolers) on Tuesday, I had a great time making album art for my fake band (from this meme). Way too much fun, I tell you. There might have to be bandom fic, or at least lyrics of some kind.
Finally, saw Sweeney Todd last night. It was entertaining, though not as good as I was hoping. It felt like it rushed too much of the musicality of it, and focused too much on the physical effects of the throat-cutting (so much a Tim Burton film, unsurprisingly). But still, I loved the little boy that played Toby. And where was the Ballad of Sweeney Todd, I ask you? Bit bummer on that front.
So it's been a productive couple of days, and a delightfully lazy Saturday.
