Randomnosity!

• My brother let me play a death knight on his account in WoW. I feel like an addict whose been given a shitload of their drug of choice. I kid you not, 20 minutes later and I'm shaking with withdrawal.
• Can I say that this makes me so fucking happy! Stupid dolls.
• Damn it all! Will Congress get over it already and just give the Chrysler and GM a bailout. Yes, we know--you fucked up with financial industry bailout. Not giving one to them is just going to fuck over more people. Maybe if you hadn't fucked up with the banks, the banks could be giving them loans right now instead of you.
• And on something slightly tangential--will everyone stop saying "The Big Three". In case anyone noticed, Ford has stepped out of this whole mess.
• What the hell is going on Canada?
• My house is clean. Very very clean and ready to decorate for Christmas.
• Viva la Revolucion
• Yes, I've been wasting a lot of time lately. I haven't been writing as much as I should. I haven't been working as much as I could. But I've devoted myself to my studies and they are going well. Baby steps mind you, but I think I'm at least standing now.
• Honestly, life is good right now. I count my blessings and thank the Goddess!

Bleh....

I'm sick. Figures. Stayed home today because I felt so bleh. Not much in the way of news or anything interesting. Watching the election. Working on novel. There's a lot of stuff coming up, mostly family things--outings, parties, and the like.

I will say this though, as an observation. One day, I will learn to keep my mouth shut. I will learn that I don't have to be so damn nice. One day....hopefully...

And I Hate When Things Are Over...

...And so much is left undone.

I keep catching that song on the radio which is odd because it an older song.

Anyways, the lyric seemed appropriate as my long term sub job is about to come to an end. My last day is Wednesday, then its back to good old one-day-at-a-time subbing. Its kind of bittersweet for me. On the one hand, once this is over I'll have more time to myself. No more grading papers or writing lessons plans or stressing out all night about what I'm doing the next day. On the other hand, I really enjoyed being a regular classroom teacher again and actually teaching, as opposed to the babysitting I normally end up doing. I guess the final straw that tips more towards sweet and less toward bitter is that I wasn't getting paid the same as a normal classroom teacher.

In other news, Warhammer Online came out....and yes, I got a copy. And yes, I'm already playing it way too much. I like it better than I liked WoW. But keep in mind, that comparison is between WoW in its current state an WAR in its just beginning state. It would be harder to make comparisons between WoW at the beginning and WAR.

Still, hopefully I won't neglect DoI. Chapter 10 is at a "good part" as it were.

I never thought I'd say it...

...but I'm kind of looking forward to going back to be normal sub. Don't get me wrong, I love that I'm teaching, and moreover teaching a subject I love. But it would be nice to be able to leave work and NOT think about it all night. I suppose if I were in a permanent position I would eventually get to that point again.

But right now, its just driving me nuts. I'm definitely in "survival mode". I can't wait for October to get here.

I want to get back to writing. I just don't have the time. Chapter 10 of DoI is burning in the back of my brain.

A Small Accomplishment...

I haven't accomplished a whole lot lately, but I have been writing again and it feels good because tonight, I finished Chapter 9 of my novel. It's a small accomplishment, I know, but it feels good to have accomplished something. I'm starting to come ouf of the funk that's seemed to plague me this summer. Hopefully, this will continue.

I'm looking to have a fun weekend, this weekend. I'll see y'all Monday.
