Hmm... *blinks* Again... hmm.
This past week... very interesting. I've been going on about my new schedule and actually, it's pretty okay. I'm getting used to it. What's really kinda neat about it, is that I'm getting to help teach 5 classes... English 4, English 3, 2 English 2 classes and one English 1 class. I get to go down the row. Being able to go through that and to utilize all kinds of different teaching varieties and styles... it's just... amazing and fun. For example, on Friday, Mr. Myers (the senior English teacher) had told his classes that he had made a rap of the prologue of The Canterbury Tales. I thought that he was full of it... but he whipped out his guitar, plugged it in, had it plugged in with a synthizer - and started rapping in class. Pretty cool. Mr. Justice - he's a funny man anyway - has too much fun just trying to get things across to the kids. The look on his face sometimes is just priceless. Ms. Witt... I don't know how many times I've heard her say already, "Soinso... you're killing me!" instead of really telling them, you know, "Quit doing that sh**!" I'm learning bits and pieces everywhere, but so far, it's fun. Kids seem to be willing to accept me. And what really made my day the other day was when I had to go off to an meeting for a special education student called an ARD, I told Mr. Justice that I was going to go and one of the students said, "But... we need you!" That... just really made my day. I mean, I was only in there ONE day... and this particular kid said that. I really did appreciate it.
Enough school.
I know what I did. I slightly fell down the stairs and jarred my back. Again. Sucks, really. (This was back on Tuesday.) I don't know if I put it in the blog or not. ANYWAY, I did... and I'm still trying to recover from that. Thankfully, I didn't have to go outside and do a lot of yard work with the rest of the family. They are leveling out the backyard that our dog, Rune, had so nicely destroyed before he passed away.
I'm trying to relax by taking very little meds and drinking beer to relax the body instead of depending on soma. At least with beer (or any other kind of alcohol) I know how much I can stand. With that soma, I can take too much with the pain that I'm in and then... kaput. No... no... that just won't do. I will not go kaput. So there. :P
I've made a fudge chocolate cake for desert this evening. A friend of ours birthday is today and we are cooking a mess of deer and pork backstrap and enjoying the evening with him. What we are going to do... I don't know. I just know that I'm going to be going in the kitchen in just a bit to frost that thing with fudge chocolate icing. Yumola. *smiles* I can't wait for desert!
I've already started mixing on Episode 21 of Jerry and the Pirates for Colonial Radio Theatre: On The Air. It looks like it's going to be a pretty straight foward mix. Not too much stuff to do in that one. So... I'll get started on that probably tomorrow 0r even this evening if I get a chance to work on it.
I do have the lines for the next Tales From The Museum. So... I can work on that as well. I also have lines for Quantum Retribution, so I can begin on that as well. I'm going to have so much fun with these. I just have to set aside some time to get them done. We've gone a few months now without a Quantum Retribution or even a Tales From the Museum audio... but I think that my co-horts understand that family, work and CRT comes a bit more before them. At least CRT pays me for my time spent on working on audios. So far, that means that I will have my name on at least 3 of the JatP audios. Episode 15, 19 and 21. Possibly, I'll have it on 23 and 24. Who knows. It doesn't really matter to me. I'm just trying to get these out for Jerry as quickly as possible because he's needing them like last week.
This Thanksgiving, we are going to Alvin, Texas. It's near Houston. We are going to be at Johanna's (my cousin) for the holidays. I can't wait to go down there and see her. I've not seen her since this summer. She's such a sweet little thing. :)
Time for me to go frost a cake and go upstairs and shower and whatnot before everyone starts showing up. Perhaps, I can get some kind of miracle to happen and forget about my back hurting? We'll see.
Until later.
