I realized I didn't post anything. I decided since the wait between the UK and US airings was so short, I didn't need to track down the eps. About 5 minutes in, I realized I adored the new Doctor. :) In just that first episode, I felt a good energy and vibe from him. Amy rocks too. She is like all the best parts of the companions since Rose. I ( Read more... )

In my rewatch, I am to Different Destinations. I think after this rewatch, I need to do theme rewatches, like all the time/alternate reality episodes. The Locket we got the center halo explanation and out first UR idea. Different Destinations shows us a tear in time, events changing, and time trying to "correct" itself. Would the outcome be ( Read more... )

Been doing a bit of spring cleaning, organizing and purging. Since I started teaching, I got really behind in my personal organizing. A bit of it was the fact that I lived in the same place for 3 years. I have noticed that if I move frequently, I tend to purge a lot more, easier than moving the dren. And while this last move covered a couple of ( Read more... )

Trying to decide which virus protection I should go with, any suggestions?
Symantic?
McAfee?
Norton?

Clark and Lois kissed! For real! No kryptonite. No magical people. No alternate universe.

I squeed.

And how Superman was Clark? The bullets.

I squeed.

Clark and Lois during the whole date thing. So cute. Felt sorry for Oliver, but glad Lois chose.

I squeed.

*sigh* Loved that episode.

No real opinion on Oliver, except maybe he thinks by saving ( Read more... )

After what seemed to be both a slow crawl to the first day, and yet an unstoppable, speeding freight train, the day finally arrived!

We introduced block scheduling, but it is a modified block. There is a 50-minute first period at 7:55 for high school. They go to Nutrition (recess), and then do two 90-minute lock periods, a 50-minute new elective ( Read more... )

This has been the world's longest move! Been moving stuff in since Saturday the 15th, and actually living here since Wednesday. I thought it would be easier to move stuff in my car, as I wanted, instead of cramming everything into one day with a Uhaul. First few days was not a problem, but after a week and there is still random crap at the old ( Read more... )

I discovered this summer that the government class textbook was published in 1994. I told the administration, who were shocked none of the other teachers had asked to have the curriculum updated. I decided that the basics, history, etc are fine from the book, but I will need to supplement for how things are different now. I started to think about ( Read more... )
