TRON




I am really looking forward to the new TRON. I really enjoyed the original as a child. I told my mom that, and she said really? I thought it was boring. Anyways. I am sad that there is no Steve Gutenberg in it. That would have made me ultra want to see the movie. Watching the trailer made me really want to watch it again. Man, also I don't know if anybody else remembers this but on the People Mover at Disneyland they had a section of the ride that was TRON. It looked and felt like you were on one of the bikes. It was super cool! That was the only reason I loved the People Mover. I wish they would bring that back. Especially for the opening of the new movie...

Lost my Temper

I lost my temper.
A student answered her phone while she was testing. There is a ZERO tolerance policy when it comes to cell phones. She just picked it up and said I will call you back. So, I know she was not cheating or anything like that. Obviously a good student. But, we have a rule. So I made he come and get her stuff and told her she was done testing for the day. We argued. She wanted me to make an exception because of a family situation. (totally reasonable) but again the rule. So, after telling her our policy again, and being rather forceful, to leave the testing center and talk to the administrator (I was almost yelling). I felt like a mean and bad person. I knew I was justified in being the way I was, but man, I totally made her and her mom's day crappier. I am not happy that I did not handle that better. I handled it badly. I need to go home and eat some ice cream and get a big hug.
If I see that student again I need to apologize for how that situation was handled.
Man I sucked it up tonight...

Oscars


I totally missed that those were on. I was actually looking forward to the hosts this year.
Justin and I were doing a 3d puzzle! Which has been a lot of fun to do. The puzzle is the Millenium Falcon, and it is labeled extremely challenging. We started it Friday night and are still working on it. We are both worried it is missing some pieces. My parents have had the puzzle for about 15 years and no one has put it together. I am really looking forward to seeing it completed.



Anyways back to the Oscars...
What kind of world do I live in where Sandra Bullock and Mo'Nique win Oscars?
Were there really no good actress this year?
I am curious to see all the performances from the best actress and best supporting actress's. I just can not believe that Sandra Bullock was better than Helen Mirren or Meryl Streep.

And I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy that Avatar did not win best picture or best director!!!
I would have puked if it had. Seriously, PUKED.
I refuse to see it.
The Titanic Killed James Cameron. I don't care what anyone says.
Titanic is a crappy movie.
Here is a link so you to can see the results and other things that happened last night.
I am off to the internet to see the highlights of last night.

Super funny

Clikc this link for funny hillarity for both boy and girl.

New project

I am working on a new project at work. I am creating a sample art project for and art packet. This one is especially challenging. I need to combine the art styles of
Andy Warhol,


andRoy Lichtenstein.

My piece of art needs to be a 1 cell or more comic strip about 2 everyday objects. It also needs to be done on a 11x17 piece of paper. I have a great idea for the texture. I guess Roy used screens to create all the dots in his work. So that will make things a LOT easier. But what to make a strip about...
That is where I am stumped. Any ideas?

Why I like to "blog"

I was thinking yesterday about why I am enjoying blogging so much. What is it that draws me to the computer to write down my thoughts and feelings, and then share them with the world wide web. (besides being board)
I realized that this is one way I can communicate my feelings to people in general. I tend to feel very awkward around people. Even people I know and care about.
Blogging has been Fabulous for me. I feel more connected with friends and family, and it has been a way to get to know them less superficially.
I am really enjoying this. Yeah for the internet!!!!

Munchies

I am having the worst munchies ever. It did not matter what I ate this weekend, nothing was calming the hunger. Even my old favorites chocolate and cheese were not working. (not together, that would be gross) It is so frustrating especially since I am trying to eat healthier and in better portions. And all I want to do right now is eat!!! Man I should have had In and Out on Friday. Maybe that would have quieted the hunger. I am going to try and drink more water then give myself some projects to do. Hopefully this will keep my mind off of food.
