So, I haven't blogged at all for a while... thought I'd just throw up a few thoughts to talk about what I've been up to and what I'm looking forward to...
Music I'm listening to... I'm pretty stoked about this, ask Tisa how much I actually talk about it. On Slacker media player and purchased one about a month and a half ago. For a while I was pretty frustrated with it, but they recently added a software update and it fixed all the glitches. Basically, the thing is like Pandora, on the go. It connects wirelessly, and downloads around two hours of all of my customized stations. It's awesome, and I've found a bunch of new music that I didn't know about beforehand. I didn't know I like Kings of Leon. Turns out I do. I also didn't know I like Blonde Redhead so much. Turns out I do. I'm going to post a mix cd pretty soon of the sweet stuff I've been listening to. Stay tuned.
Life with the wife... is pretty sweet. Taught Tisa how to play chess last night... I'm trying to curb my online chess addiction by playing chess with Tisa, it's working pretty well. Tisa's still at Cal state LA, but looks like her student teaching will be at my high school, really awesome. We saw Volver the other night; I thought it was hilarious.
At school, the students are ok. I felt alot more connected with last year's class, but this year's crop is growing on me. We're starting Huck Finn next week, which is a little stressful because it didn't sell as well last year. This year should be really good though, the kids are very bright (they're just a little unmotivated).
Looking forward to:
Valentine's day... camping with the wife somewhere along the coast...
Reading Speed of Dark with my modest faculty book club... full of medical ethics... if they cure autism, should the cure be forced on a person with autism?
Drinking... various cocktails that I'm creating using a book Tisa gave me for christmas. Making a pretty darn tasty Cosmopolitan and Manhattan at this point.
Really distant future? Tisa and I keep talking about trying to apply for a teaching job with the Department of Defense... ideally at the same high school in italy or germany.
Well, hope everyone out there is doing well, give me a ring and I'll tell you all about my slacker player.

I don't know how PG this sight is, but you should tell Tisa you have another online addiction, and maybe she'll help you out with that one as well.
Hey, it's been a long time again. How about an update?
you should really play up the n-word in huck finn. maybe chuckle to yourself every time someone reads it as a means of differentiating instruction.
