teaching and home videos

the merry go-round continues its infinite loop and once again i'm going to be working at a school. i know i've been hinting at it all year, but finally i made a choice to stick with. my current job has left me feeling detached in a number of ways and i've felt it more since the new boss started. i just felt i was in no mans land, i don't think i would have gained any new experiences to assist me with a promotion, no chance for holidays and that sealed my decision. i now have got a job at highgate primary and i'm super excited. i get to be teacher librarian and they're building a new library. this will be intense, especially given the fact i'll also be teaching for one day a week. it's always what i've liked about schools, i get the best of both worlds and i can't wait to get my teaching career on the move.

thankfully, nothing much else is happening. new jobs really are enough, i'm lazing around on sunday morning going through old home movies to burn on a dvd for various family members. there are a lot of scary things and so many events i didn't remember. i don't think i'll watch them again anytime soon, they're are good to have around when you can't remember how things were. daft punk is coming up and i wish i had a robot costume. i'll make do with some clothes i have, it would've been fun to wear the whole garb. maybe next time...

it's a blog, a bloggy blog!

Not really, I thought I would get myself excited and pretend there were
eventful things. I'm back to work after having a week off leave and
that was good. I got to see a couple of shows last week and had a blast.
It was particularly epic to see The Cure in the flesh and play for
three hours, it was a test of endurance to be sure, but it was splendid.
The Shins and Lily Allen were also fantastic. I went to the zoo with Al
and saw some creatures. I love that place, it's a gas. The animals are
so amazing, seeing a rhino in the flesh and otters was pretty cool.
Lee Hazelwood died and that was a little sad, though he has had a pretty good run. I hope he found
Phaedra!

My boss has finally resigned and I'm not quite sure what's happening on
that front. I feel like I'm in the middle of something and I don't
know which way I should step. I kind of want to give teaching a second go,
my head space wasn't right at the time. I feel like I've gotta give
something of myself back to the community, while working in a library
does that to some extent. Teaching is more noble, so I've got some
thinking time on my hands.

Thinking about the band and that's firing on all cylinders, Glenn and I
have been rehearsing and writing and the songs are sounding great. I
hope we can play live soon and get the songs out there, because that's
the next point. I read the new Harry Potter and that was an appropriate
ending to the series. I remember reading the first one almost nine
years ago and trying to get others excited. It's hard to believe it became
a phenomenon so quickly, it came out before Y2K and life travels faster
than the time it takes to write these thoughts down. Gotta get back to
living like my hero Matthew McConaughey :)
