Work started in earnest again today. The last week has been all exams and working on preparing and grading. I haven’t had an actual “class” since the 11th of January. And, to be honest? Love that. Grading exams makes me nuts sometimes – I totally pull a Chris March and talk to my work – but the days themselves are relaxing. You sit there in silence while the students take a test for two hours. How awesome is that? Totally awesome. Love it. Monday I had off and yesterday was a professional day to prepare for today. Getting up early sucked. Hated it. Ah well. I do like my schedule now, though. There are eight class periods to the day. I teach 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. I think it’s going to be absolutely awesome.

Went to Michael’s after work. Michael’s == yayness. I bought some new pens to do grading and some flowers for the pencils the students can borrow. I also bought some mystery items. They are a secret. Shhhhh. You’ll soon see. (;

The weekend is coming. I cannot wait.

I missed American Idol last night. Oh well. Watched it tonight. Have to say – way more fun last week when I was on the phone during the show with someone. Have you ever MST3K’d American Idol auditions? No? Do it. Makes it way fun.

Okay. That’s it. I’m done. Sleepy. But, I promised Daniel that my posts would be actual posts and not “zomg, I’m too tired to post.” posts. Which, I have to agree with him. Those suck. A lot. (;

See you tomorrow, internets!!

Pownce!

Pownce has finally gone public. It has been in private beta for a while, meaning you needed an invite to get an account. They were controlling the numbers to make sure stuff would work. But! It’s finally public! Go! Play with it!

What is it, you ask?

Pownce is somewhere a cross between email, message boards, and IM, with a bit of a blog feel to it. (Thanks to Raj for help with the description.) You can follow other powncers’ messages and all that, but there are other things you can do besides send messages/post thoughts. You can send files, links, events – it’s totally awesome. And they have also put in a ‘featured powncer’ thing. It’s not based on how many ‘friends’ a person has, but what that particular person is posting. So cool. (=

So – go Pownce! You can find me there as Poe. (;

Shakespearean Insults

Now, I do love me some Shakespeare. In fact, so much – I bought a mug with Shakespearean insults upon them. And Google has a widget you can put on your homepage with them. I’m so excited. (;

My favorite?
“Draw thy tool. My naked weapon is out.”
Sounds so damn naughty. (;

Want your own insult? Try here…
Foot-licker!

A Late Feast

A very late Friday’s Feast.

Appetizer
What is your favorite beverage?
Alcoholic or Non? (; I really enjoy Fuze’s Orange Blossom White Tea.

Soup
Name 3 things that are on your computer desk at home or work.
At home: A candle, a candle lamp (no really), a printer

Salad
On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how honest do you think you are?
Hrmm. Generally about an 8.

Main Course
If you could change the name of one city in the world, what would you rename it and why?
Uhhhh. I have no idea. I never thought of this one. Can I get back to you on this? O_O

Dessert
What stresses you out? What calms you down?
Work stresses me out. Mostly the stupid crap – like fully grown adults kowtowing to 14-year-olds like those KIDS know best. WTF. I find that a good book or playing a video game calms me down. Or sleep. Love me some sleep.
