guess i wasn't the only one

isn't it funny how when you blow up over stupid things, they turn out to really be stupid things in the end. or maybe that's what makes them stupid things in the first place. anyway, i called time warner cable (thanks to alison who suggested it), to see how much more it would cost me to upgrade to digital cable so i could get the CW. turns out they had lots of complaints and so they added it to the basic level on channel two. this makes me extremely happy, though i keep thinking of the quote from the wedding singer:

"Gee, you know that information... really would've been more useful to me *yesterday.*"

yes, i did just quote from an adam sandler movie. there goes my elitist cred.

but at least i get to watch gilmore and veronica in real time. or at least tape them to watch them after house church.

went outside today for class - figured if we're reading a book called into the wild, might be nice to go outside into the woods behind the school. went well, though lawn mowers almost made me lose students fifth bell (they couldn't hear the whistle to come back). curious moment: during second bell, three of my students didn't come back when i blew the whistle. was trying to figure out what to do when one of the other students told me they'd seen them helping an older gentleman whose dog had tried to run away and had caused him to fall, cutting his forehead. was glad my students did the right thing to help him instead of saying, "sorry, have to get back to class."

just wanted to share my good news. nothing of significance to share. thunderstorms blowing in. need to go close the windows. leaving now.
