Sorry, June. That's horrible! So one of your students complained??? Ugh... I can't believe they stuck you with 22 guys in a last period class. That's just s***y oversight, IMO.

Course, it's always good when you take the names to an administrator, and they're like, "Oh geez!" and they proceed to rattle off a list of infractions they done cause they've been written up in tons of other classes. I'm not sure who complained...she didn't say....sighs. |

Congrats from me, too, June
![]() Sorry your Monday has gone downhill though. Mine's actually been pretty good -- I got *some* re-writing/editing done, but more importantly, figured out the all important first chapter. Mmmmm....that's a nice feeling. |

A lot of people have been sick here too, not even necessarily Swine Flu, though everyone talks about that...just sick. I've started running a fever, but I'm also sleeping like crazy, eating well, and washing up obsessively. I don't want to wind up sick in bed w/ 2 sick kids to look after. |

soooo... on Thanksgiving weekend (CDN Thanksgiving so the weekend before last) We were playing Rockband Beatles and it occurred to me for the first time (even though I'd heard the song a million times before) that Paperback Writer is basically an example of a horrible query letter.
Am I the only idiot who never noticed before?

Did anyone else buy the New Moon soundtrack yet? Is anyone else kind of disappointed? (I'd trade good soundtrack for good movie, though-- fingers crossed.)
Not to take the spotlight away from the fabulous and deserving Krista...

Kate: I didn't really like the New Moon soundtrack as much as I thought I would. I only like three songs: Meet Me at the Equinox(?) by Death Cab for Cutie, that one song by Muse and Satellite Heart.
I love The Killers and I was hoping their song would be good, but it was...very disappointing. |

Me and my friends (I think there is 15 of us) have booked tickets for New Moon. Its 14 girls and 1 guy (the one in my Avatar) We are hoping there is going to be a premiere here, so we can go. Even though I got completely squashed during the HP premiere- but my friend got a photo with Rupert and she loves him so it was all worth while.
