so i thought i'd try to scam emusic and see if i could get 25 free songs. didn't work. but, since i'd already been charged, i went ahead and downloaded an album - demetri martin - these are jokes. unbelievably brilliant. i have not laughed this hard in a long, long time. i know i've talked about him before, but seriously, go check him out. now.
shoot, i should have told you to come back. too late now.
i was a bit manic/depressive on friday. freaked gina out. was on a high being done with grading for a while, end of the trimester, that sort of thing. good night for it - made my first trip to rohs street - great little cafe. brandon was on fire and at least one of the bands before pomegranates was entertaining. the other, not so much. had it been the week before, i probably would never have heard the pomegranates - i would have left during the band. soooooo not my thing. pomegranates were great, though the sound wasn't as tight as southgate. probably the room - old church, very boomy. had a great time. forgot to bring money, but we did talk to the drummer, who gave me his address, so i'll be sending a donation soon. here's hoping the industry is kind to them.
my trip to bon vie was good, though hopefully next time we'll pick somewhere else - little too shi shi for me (is that how you spell that?). just mel, jessy, laurie and, eventually, andrea - she forgot. good news from andrea - the tumor shrank more than they anticipated from the chemo, which is encouraging. still a long way to go - surgery is next, then radiation, then a second surgery. she looked good, as always, and i continue to be amazed at her spirit through all of this. another meet and run - we all had errands to run and went our separate ways quickly. some time i'll have to find a longer block of time to spend with them, but these small moments are enough for now.
bummer of the weekend - i cannot find my tax stuff. and i have the sneaking suspicion that in my hurry to clean one day i may have thrown it into the recycling bin. been scouring the place for them, but i foresee having to dig through my bin soon.
bummer of the weekend, part deux - timewarner's still giving me the run around. hate that i care enough about my dvr to be sad that i may lose it. which, of course, is part of their evil plan.
encouraging moment of the weekend - good quality time spent with candice saturday night. she is a constant reminder that God still speaks to people and still works miracles. i wish i were that attuned to God and to my friends. honored to be a friend of hers.
brain is slowing down. will be back tomorrow. just need to get my syllabi together and...well, that's about it. if all works well, i may have two classes with no one failing, an incredible feat considering i've never had even just one before. all depends on jimmy - here's hoping he remembers. going to miss this group of students - really liked them. and most of them are going to other teachers this next trimester. one of my least favorite parts of the trimester schedule. but nothing that will change any time soon.
night.
