even though my big plan for the week is to go to the dentist and get my marking finished, I'm still pretty darn happy to be off. The wee ones get a bit antsy in the....3 weeks leading up to any vacation, so the past bit has been trying. I've managed, obviously; my saving grace has been my 11/12 split class, which is just wonderful. Mostly very talented, and mostly really wanting to be in the class (rather than being forced to take it or choosing it because it'll be easy or there's nothing else to fit in the timetable.
We're switching my old computer for Grant's new one, so I'm pretty excited about that. I had to clean mine up to make it run a bit smoother and get rid of any incriminating evidence of...anything. I backed everything up, it took 8 cds, but I was advised that this was the best way to transfer files, rather than using a USB cable, which I thought would be easier, but apparently takes hours and hours to do.
I know I've been a bad little doobie about keeping this updated properly in the past few days, but it's been sort of hectic. Now that I'm on va-ca, I promise to keep you updated on the minutiae of my days. I've changed the comments system a few times as well, you may have noticed. I'm back to blogback, because mine wasn't keeping counts, and the comment windows weren't opening reliably. Since I have no idea what would cause either of these problems, I decided to take the easier road and let somebody else host my comments for me. Please do comment, so I can see that everything is working alright!
I'm off to watch some tv with Grant, and most likely do nothing for the rest of the day. It is Sunday, after all.

old comments are back
not much else to report, more later, just about to watch a movie. the 'hosted by me' comments sucked, so I'm back to blogback.

vote for me!
I hate the gays! I want to change the constitution so that they can't get married! I *LOVE* war, and I promise I'll do my best to seek out more things for us to fight about. I'll put us even further in debt. Yes, it IS possible! I will run this country into the ground; I give you my word.
fuckin bush. I can't wait to hear his actual campaign promises. I think Oprah should run. I don't even like her, but she would do a crapwhack better than this jackass.

for those of you who don't get snow days
how to make your weekend feel longer. To get to the next page, click the eeny weeny 'next page' icon on the bottom right. I had to hunt for it...

so unimpressed
I hate Rogers, but what can I do. They've taken my website offline until the end of the month. I tried to make a redirect page, but I can't even access my stuff by FTP. This is stupid to me; they tell me my traffic is too high, then I download the bigger pictures off the server to downsize them a bit to slow the traffic, but in doing so, I increase my webspace traffic, and lose all access to it. WTF? I'm going to call them later and question them on this, and see if they'll allow me to just upload the redirect page, but keep everything else offline.
anyway, in a week it'll be back up but it'll just be a redirect page to this one, so y'all might as well update your links and bookmarks! Bonus points to Tiresa, who already has.

new comments
and, as with the rest of the site, I'm still working on it, so be nice. I've got the colours to match, and it seems to be working, of course, I've lost the rest of my comments, but s'ok. The counter thing doesn't seem to go past 1, but this way it'll be a surprise every time I check how many are there! I love surprises!
(always look on the bright side)
so, luckily I've had 2 snow days off school to work all this stuff out, otherwise I would have had to wait until the weekend, and I hate waiting. Yesterday was crazy blizzard stormy, I don't know how much snow we got, but it was a lot, and the winds were blowing between 80-100km/hour. Grant and I played a rousing game of Trivial Pursuit, and with the minor adjustments of some rules, I won! At times though, we couldn't even see the flag on the building across the street, the snow was blowing so hard. So that day made sense not to have school. Today...it was beautiful outside. I think some highways were still closed though, and a lot of people were still digging out, including most likely the busses and such, hence the additional va-cay day. Anyway, 4 day weekend, with more snow forecast for tomorrow and/or the next day, so we'll see what happens for that. People are all up in arms about all the time we're missing, saying we should start early next year and stuff, but this is unusual. It's not like we get 10 snow days every year. Last year we didn't get any 'snow days', but we did get time for the ice storm, when power was out to a large part of the city for like, a week.
anyway, I just wanted to get a proper post up here, keep you folks happy, and tell you all about my past few days and all the adventures I've had. which is to say...I've done nothing.
and on that note, a link from my sister. bang on.

this is what happens
When you type in my teacher name, you get redirected to this lovely site. Should I worry that my name seems to be associated with porn sites? This one's pretty fun, I have to admit.

still the favourite
I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
Ben Folds - The Luckiest
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls

more loverly lyrics
this is a beautiful song I've done in a couple of coffee houses. the last time I did it sans accompanying guitar, but I think it was still good.
I don't know why
The sky is so blue
And I don't know why
I'm so in love with you
But if there were no music
Then I would not get through
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
But somewhere dreams come true
And I don't know where
But there will be a place for you
And every time you look that way
I would lay down my life for you
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
But some are going to make you cry
And I don't know how
But I will get you by, I will try
They're not trying to cause you pain
They're just afraid of loving you
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
The trees grow so tall
And I don't know why
I don't know anything at all
But if there were no music
Then I would not get through
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
I know these things, but I do
Shawn Colvin - I Don't Know Why
I don't know why
The sky is so blue
And I don't know why
I'm so in love with you

no more pictures
for now, anyway. I don't know what's going on, I got an email from my ISP saying that I'm at 70% of my allotted bandwidth for the month, and it's only the 13th (12th when I got the email). I've never had that before, so I don't quite know what's up there. I do know that the face site itself is quite small, so I figure disabling the pictures will do me for now, until I figure it out or get a real site running. Does anyone know how to check if people are linking to my pictures? That would be annoying.
anyway, it's Friday, and I need a nap, as usual, so off I go. more later.

I (heart) train
not new, but still good. I have to say, for all this hooplah I'm doing, I have no plans for v-day whatsoever. Tomorrow is pink and red day at school, so I have a sweater to wear. As for the actual day, nothing going on. I'm holding out that Grant is going to pull some fantastic surprise, but I can't see it, since we're broke and that's not really his style. enjoy the lyrics!
When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye
And as I float along this ocean I can feel you like a notion that won’t seem to let me go
Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you’re here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I’m lost something tells me you’re here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
And every word I didn’t say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn’t dance before
And every sunset that we’ll miss I’ll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away
Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won’t pass me by
And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me there you are to show me

classic love poetry
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
( repeat)
Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, five you up
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
( repeat)
Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, five you up
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

remember Robyn?
I sure do. That's where I got the new tag for my comments. It's funny, if you go to her site, and click on biography, it actually starts off with "Remember Robyn?". I still have her cd around somewhere, I'm pretty sure. I remember driving around aimlessly in high school listening to it on my portable cd player hooked up to the cassette player.
in other news...
I have no other news. Classes are going along, and though the worst of my jackass-y students got switched into another period, so he's away from all his jackass-y friends, he's now totally throwing off the dynamic in that class, and making it suck too. What to do? 13 more school days til March Break. I have no plans, other than sleeping in til noon every day. I have to go to the dentist one day, so I guess my plans are to sleep in til noon for all but one day.
I have to take a trip to Home Hardware and Dollarama to get stuff to facilitate poster putting-up in my classroom. I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm at least there for another 5 months. 4.5 months, I guess, but I might as well make the most of it while I'm there. I'm just going to buy some corkboard and glue it to the wall. I put in a requisition to have wood molding put up, in September, and haven't heard anything since, so whatev. Time to take matters into my own hands.

I think I'll keep this up
as long as I can find good quotes.
"Love each other or perish." (W.H. Auden, poet, 1907-73)
I actually found this one in Tuesdays With Morrie, which I finished, and recommed to everyone. It's a bit emotional, but you know what's going to happen, and it's ... just a good read.

Lovey quotes of the day
Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
Hamlet in a letter to Ophelia - William Shakespeare
also, a very lovely song by Melanie Doane, inspired by our dear Will...
Never Doubt I Love
in an age of troubles
in an age of uncertainty
in an age of dwindling hope,
you still have me
no matter where you are
no matter how far from home
no matter if you're lost,
you still have me
doubt that the stars are fire
doubt that the earth doth move
doubt truth to be a liar
but never doubt I love
never doubt I love
you may lose things dear to you
you may feel naked and alone
you may think you're losing your faith
but you still have me
remember when you're tired
remember when you're defeated
they can take all your dreams
but you still have me...
I know your pain I won’t pretend
serve God, love me, and mend
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
Hamlet in a letter to Ophelia - William Shakespeare
also, a very lovely song by Melanie Doane, inspired by our dear Will...

doubt that the earth doth move
doubt truth to be a liar
but never doubt I love
never doubt I love
you may lose things dear to you
you may feel naked and alone
you may think you're losing your faith
but you still have me
remember when you're tired
remember when you're defeated
they can take all your dreams
but you still have me...
I know your pain I won’t pretend
serve God, love me, and mend

why
why is it that every woman on tv who is ever not feeling well, ends up being pregnant? it's annoying, unrealistic, I think, and makes me paranoid whenever I wake up feeling icky.
I have to comment
I tried to avoid it, but I keep being bombarded with this whole Janet's boob thing. Who gives a rat's ass? The Superbowl halftime show is hardly family entertainment, and it's not exactly on at a kid-friendly time. I think it was about 9:30pm here. Also, this was possibly an accident, and even if it was intentional, her nip was covered, so I really, really just don't get it. Do any of you recall a few years back on the Grammys, Britney singing "I Can't Get No Satisfaction"? She came out in a suit and top hat, actually looking pretty spiff, but promptly tore that all off to reveal....some see-through diamond encrusted number. Nobody complained. Kids can watch MuchMusic or MTV in the middle of the day and see videos with women in thongs, asses and boobs hanging out all over the place. Anybody watched a soap lately? Everybody's mekkin out with somebody, usually a different somebody every couple of weeks. Having a breast with a covered nipple exposed for roughly 2 seconds, and it was maybe that long, because I missed it, I was looking away from the TV at the time and didn't turn back quickly enough to catch it...just isn't that big of a deal. I think there are far more important things for people to focus on right now than whether or not Janet and Justin should be banned from this year's Grammy's.
This isn't directed at anyone specific who's reading here, but just the public, and I think the American public in particular...get a life, folks.

home remedies
just a quick, completely off topic tip about canker sores. Listerene works wonders, gets rid of them in a couple of days. Either swish or use a q-tip soaked in the stuff. I've read that rubbing an asprin on the bastard will get rid of it too, but that sounds even more painful and sort of gross, so I'll stick to the mouthwash option myself.
it's another quiet night here in my apartment. I'm watching the Wedding Planner, and I must be pmsing or something, because I've nearly cried twice. At a J-lo movie. Something is wrong with me. I had a khalua and milk, which was lovely, but now I'm out of milk so it looks like that's the end of my drinking binge for this evening.
damn, I'm boring. I find myself always counting down to something now. 3 weeks til March Break. 8 weeks til term 4. 17 weeks til summer vacation. During the week all I do is count down to the weekend, then when the weekend hits I count down to Monday. I think I'm obsessive compulsive or something. ah well. would it be totally lame if I went to bed right now? I've been just wiped lately. I go to bed at a decent time every night, have a nap most afternoons, and am still very tired all day. I'm taking my vitamins! I think I'll go to bed and read for a bit. once again, I tell you, the fun never stops.

rethink your pet food purchasing
Warning, quite upsetting. Why you shouldn't buy your pet food from Iams. Again, very sad, upsetting. You can just take my word on it that apparently the Iams labs are awful and they do bad and neglectful things to the animals.
hockey night
or day. We get to go watch hockey tomorrow during school. I'm not normally really excited for hockey, but it doesn't usually involve me getting some lazy time at work. There's a big tournament this weekend, so of course we get to go support the team. As far as supporting non-sporting events that might enrich our students ... we're not so big on those. For the sporting events they even make the homeroom teachers collect money and dispense tickets, keep an eye on their kids, get them to the busses etc. Not so for...anything else, really.
Can't complain too much, tomorrow is Friday, payday, and there's a staff 'get-together' in the evening. Tonight is all new TV, so I'm pretty excited about that. For now I just have to make myself some supper, then the shows will probably have started. whee!

update coming soon!
I made a v-day layout, not to offend anyone who chooses not to celebrate this admittedly uber-commercialized holiday. I'm going to put it up in the next couple of days, I figure better early than late, this way I can take it down right after the big day and nobody will feel like they just haven't had enough of it.
I did a little v-day shopping today, although I find myself always looking over my shoulder, praying that I don't run into a student. That would be unpleasant. Or at least uncomfortable.
In completely unrelated news, remember the frighteningly fat fish? I don't know what was going on with it, I'm pretty sure it wasn't pregnant, because it was fat for like...months. Anyway, it's not fat anymore. It seems happy, so whatev. There aren't any baby fishes swimming around, but they tend to get eaten pretty quickly when there aren't good hiding places. Circle of life and all.
After 2 days of just ridiculous classes with one of my grade 10 classes, I had a super day with them today. It's unfortunate that it took a trip to the office and chat with the parents of one of the kids, but I guess they know that I mean business now, so today was super. We listened to Red Hot Chili Peppers and practised grid enlargement. I like to think that my being me had more to do with the change than the office visit; I start each day fresh with them, I let them know that I'm interested in how they're doing and that as long as they show me and each other some respect, we'll get along fine. The student I was having the hardest time with was the one who brought in the RHCP cd. The song 'Airplane' came on, and when I walked past his desk I asked him if this was the video with all the little kids singing in it. He *smiled* at me, and said he wasn't sure, he hadn't ever seen the video. He *smiled*. He didn't ignore me, or make some smart comment. It was like a civilized, albeit short, conversation. Anyway, this may all turn around tomorrow and bite me in the ass, but for now I'm really happy.
I'll keep you posted, as usual.

I'll keep you posted, as usual.

first pink sheet
I had to get a kid kicked out today. He was just behaving like a general ass, making rude comments back to me, taking other students' work, sticking his pencil in the ceiling tiles, etc. Anyway, he got kicked out of somebody else's class today too, so he's out for a few days I guess.
I don't have anything exciting to talk about lately! I'm not the only one though, most of my daily reads aren't daily-ly updated, so I don't feel too bad. Right now I have a wicked headache and am going to go nap.
edit: a pink sheet is just a form we fill out whenever we have disciplinary issues that the office needs to deal with. I think they're pink so the students can see them when we're filling them out and know when they're in trouble. haha.

rosemary mint body wrap
fan-freaking-tastic.
I got a salt scrub for my feet, then spent the remainder of the hour and a half lying on this heated water bed thing, getting exfoliated, moisturized, and wrapped up in thermal blankets. While I was wrapped, I got a foot massage, and a scalp massage with scented oil. Then she did my lipstick. She had a client right after me, but I went back after and got my eyebrows done, and they look terrific. $10 well spent. I actually considered buying myself some rosemary mint lotion, but it's $33 a bottle, and it's not a big bottle.
Last night I finised up my course outlines for tomorrow, then went to Chapters and sat at Starbucks for about an hour and a half, reading Tuesdays With Morrie and nursing a caffé mocha. I recommend any of my day's activities yesterday to you folks.
My big plans for today include making up a schedule for each of my classes, maybe buying a cheap dry erase monthly calendar for each class, and figuring out what the hell to do while people are here watching Superbowl. Wooh!
