in wide release.
haha i'm encouraged and inspired by joel stein, the writer of the awesome column in time magazine. he has his own theme song. although i don't necessarily agree with all his views, he's a good writer. and i wish i was funny like him. he makes me laugh.
you should read his column in the april 12 edition of time magazine.
actually, i just downloaded the pdf of his memoir and read the whole thing. i have decided he's a bit crude. a little bit too... littish for me. it reminds me of what everyone else was trying to write about in my lit classes back in college-- same reasons why i quit that major. it's like..if you talk about sex enough, you're a good writer? exposing vulnerabilities connect you to the reader? meh. it's a trick. i don't like it. but he's still funny when he writes for time mag.
anyway. i've been feeling better this week because this week (as of tuesday) i've had enough energy to teach. instead of standing there wishing i was teaching, i'm actually teaching. for those of you who didn't know, i was in a teaching slump for the past 3 weeks. but it might be better now.
a mom came up to me today and told me that her daughter wants to be in my class next year because i always wear high heels. i think it's the same mother who came up to me earlier this year and said that her daughter wants to be in my class next year because i wear skinny jeans. @_@ another second grader also told me herself today that she wants to be in my class next year and will personally demand a transfer if she's not. but chances are-- i won't be teaching next year! thank arnold schwarz for that.
that in itself releases a sense of freedom. freedom coming soon. it's a good trailer to a good movie.
my brother is kicking me off the computer. it's technically not his computer but just where he does his work. i know he's going to kick me off and do something stupid like read up on game cheats. ughh. life is so infuriating. good day.
