well, the new home is cool, in both the senses of the word, I have to change a part of the heating system and there was a water leak between the sink
and the wall where the water pipe goes out of the house. The leak is repaired, I'll change the heaters in a few weeks. Otherwise, it's pretty cool,
I've got a room for all my stuff, which is great cause i'm finally gonna be able to bring back all my instruments, CDs, comic books, etc, etc... I'll
post pictures as soon as possible.

glad your move went well!
I always hate it myself.
If you have more room that's the best.
Minor fixes are always the norm.
It'll take time to get used to all the little spaces.
You take good photos, too!
looking fwd>>>

I've just spent the majority of my Sunday doing school work and finally I'm chilling out for the evening. It always feels good after it's done. I got
a complaint from a parent last week. Apparently her precious daughter thinks I spend too much time telling stories and not enough time teaching maths
and feels it might be holding her back. Bollocks. It's always been a part of my style as a teacher. I don't just tell stories at random, they always
weave back into the work at hand and when they are more general I try to relate them to decisions they have to make as they grow up. Most students
find me approachable and enjoy the stories, there's always one that has to fuck it up. Anyway, needless to say, that class is gonna be working their
butts off next week and wondering why the change in tempo.

Big computer problems here after installing vista SP1. Computer didn't start at all after the final restart.
I had to reinstall windows, my documents fortenately are safe, but no program is working unto a reinstall (missing all the libary files)
One of the important programs that did not work is mu subtitle manager. That keeps me from publishing a new movie.

As a fellow teacher, I feel for you; my uncle (also a teacher) once produced the memorable quote "I would rather clean out the lav with my tongue than
mark essays or exams". It is the only bit I find tedious in the extreme.
Don't let dumb parents get to you - I always find there is a far higher percentage of arrogant, ill-informed parents than there is of pupils - we
can't pick and choose who our parents are after all. I know it's difficult to switch off after being totally annoyed by some busybody - my wife has
had to leave the teaching profession because she can't do it. My advice (for what it's worth) is to carry on as you always would, if you're convinced
that you're doing things the right way. I hope you take this the way I mean it - as friendly support and not as an attempt to be another busybody.

No worries Caputh, I get your intentions. You're right about carrying on as is. If you can't be yourself, what's the point? I'll carry on doing my
thing but being a bit more cleverer about it. Anyway, this week went by quite well without incident. There was a bit of a pain with some assessments
being moderated, but by the end of the week I had that under control. The red tape in teaching is becoming unbelievable, or did I bitch about that one
here already?

Nice place, very nice . Girlfriend seems not too happy when photographed  . Love
the colors in your bathroom, ours is plain white, if the house was not rented, it should be one of the first thingsto change.

Nice place, Mr. Goat.
My daughter Rachel turned 18 yesterday. She did some of the things you do at 18: registered to vote, bought some lottery tickets. Didn't buy any
cigarettes, though.
She graduates from High School on Friday.
And Bonny, the Kindle is Amazon's e-book reader...

My daughter graduated on May 8th. All 3 kids graduated, which is nice. I told my daughter she should do what Patton Oswalt advised: When you turn 18,
buy a gun and shoot a ballot. Just because you can.
Hi there.

Congrats to your daughters Cal and MTF!
Has anyone seen Ober (Waiter) yet? It was one of the biggest award buffs at the annual Dutch movie awards (golden calfs) when it came out, but from
the first few minutes it didn't look or sound too interesting.

today on google front page in honor of les paul's birthday there are strings that can be plucked with your mouse. Plus a button to record what you do
and then it will play it back.
Insta fretless guitar, sorta.
Still fun and cute
