Breaktime!

It’s snowing. A lot. I figure it’s easier to make several trips out to shovel than to wait until there are more than 3″ and try to shovel that heavy amount. After a two hour delay turned into a full day off yesterday, I was excited when the phone rang this morning. We were already on a two hour delay, so the call could mean only one thing–right? WRONG. Apparently, there’s something called “Code A” which means that kids don’t have to attend, but staff does! 😮 I worked 10-3 and I have to say, I’m glad. Having been out since Thursday, it was good to get back and get caught up on my work. It seems I missed a bomb threat on Friday. They evacuated the school and everyone went home early, so I guess I didn’t miss too much when I was in Charleston. What I know I didn’t miss was my fabulous birthday presents from Ben and Jesse. Those guys sure know how to take care of a girl! Cool animals, masks, and LOTR guys…shweeeet! :clap:

That’s it! Back to work, peon!

This is a part character/part crack vid. Niki is not my favorite character, but I think the song is a really good fit with what we’ve seen so far. I wanted to make it even more demented than it is, but there is a surprising lack of Niki/Jessica footage, which is surprising because I always think those scenes last forever. Hmmm. I’m not sure if there’s a longer version of the song, but since it’s so short, this is technically more of a vidlet, so check it out (since it won’t take up too much of your time) 🙂

Mission Accomplished

Thanks to and , my first class of Spring 2007 went wonderfully. Thanks, guys, for allowing me to literally crash your home and your Friday night plans. 😳 Since class let out early Friday night, we went to IHOP and I definitely owe Jesse a meal of his choice next time I see him. It was deeeelish. Class itself went amazingly smooth and though I have a ton of work due next meeting (March 16th), it’s all personal reaction type assignments and I’ll have fun finishing them. The one thing that won’t be as fun is making an audio tape of a mock-therapy session. I always hate to tape things because it forces me to admit I’ve regained my accent in full. Ugh.

On a completely different note, my vid program continues to be a pain, but I can say with confidence that I’ll finish my first “Heroes” vid this week. I’m really REALLY liking it so far. Yay!!!

Stay warm, everyone! :cold:

bscap0116.jpg First of all, Heroes owns. It just does. To have Eccleston (who will probably never be referred to by his character’s name) say, “Fantastic!” was brilliance. Just as I was starting to yell, “Stop showing Claire; no one cares!” they went and got me interested in her again. Damn. In a good way.

In the next three weeks, I will be venturing to the big city of Charleston for class two times and the State ACT conference once. I should get an EZ-Pass and a sublet. Heh. Hopefully, I’ll get to see my Chas buddies a little while I’m in town. The class weekends will be rough, though, because I’ll be getting up at 4:30am, working until I make the 3 hour drive to Charleston, sitting in class until 10:30pm and then going back Saturday for more class from 8am-6pm. Ugh. Hopefully, one more semester and I’ll be finished.

I think I’ll get to bed early tonight. I forgot to turn my alarm clock on after yesterday’s snowday and had I not had a hungry Hobbit waking me up, I may have slept the whole day away. Thanks, Hob!! :love:
