Good Music, Bad Excuses, Good Article, Bad Networking, Good Ideas

I’m listening to Darshannon, from the Celtic Cross CD Hicksville. It’s incredible psytrance with a mixture of bluegrass and eastern sounds, if you can believe it. It works, which is brilliant.

I had dinner with my old principal last night. I was explaining to her why I’m not going into the doctorate program right now. The [...]

Happy New Year!

I’ve just been loving the vacation from school lately. Although, subconsciously I know I’m going back soon, since I woke up to a dream of my boss chewing me out and me quitting on the spot.
We had a blast in Houston–here are a few pics!
Here’s the life-sized floor sign indicating the floor we [...]

A/C in December

Today, we have a chance of snow. There was ice on my porch steps this morning. This is very unusual in Texas, at least the part where I live. Yesterday, it was in the 70’s and the
Air conditioning compressor in my car was doing its thing. One thing I dread is the air conditioning in [...]

Go Speed Racer!

My students and I were talking about speed. Not the kind that is a drug, but the kind you get when you get a turbocharged car on a desolate East Texas highway. You can make just about any car turbo, for example, a
Volkswagen turbo charged car is not uncommon. I’m lusting after a convertible right [...]

Sage and I almost always win, because Greg hasn’t updated his glasses prescription in four years. His glasses are also scratched because of his [...]

Rap Freestyle Translated into Proper English–HILARIOUS!!

Have You Heard of the “Happy Electric Dance”?

After of day of Hurricane Ike, I can’t begin to describe how happy I was to see that the lights were on at my house as we drove up the street. I was singing and dancing…I was that happy. I really wasn’t looking forward to no electricity. We are some of the few lucky ones. [...]

And How Do YOU Influence Reality?

I just love this stuff. If you have the slightest bit of interest in quantum physics, then check this out! Be sure to watch it all the way to the end. (5 min.)
It really begs the question of how we, as observers, influence our own reality or reality in general. At least, that’s what [...]
