chorus of snores.....
been a long couple of dayz, or should i say weeks?! school is going well considering the State is in financial disarray... teachers are getting pink slipped, the budget finally passed, but i'm still trying to make ends meet in the classroom on $125.00 for the year.... NOT ez. but, i have a job that i love, and working on a ton of new projects....
in fact, i'm sitting downstairs at mama puter [the one i do all my video editing on], waiting for a recent school video project to fininsh rendering.... tough to do while listening to habbibi sing me a lullaby and Wollf snoring to beat the band. yeppers, i'm sitting down here smiling as i listen to his chorus of sounds..... highly entertaining.
so i figured i'd just jot down a few thoughts and words.... nothing earth shattering, but gives me something to do while my project goes through its first stage..... then it's time to set up the dvd program to burn it. it's actually quite fun.... my journalism students create skits [they write their own scripts, put together their costumes, and figure our shot location] and i film them. the whole idea is that we let the student body know about upcoming events, as well as give character education tips, and other miscellaneous news items. then i edit it down, usually to 10 minutes, and we air the program [KSEQ Channel 6] over our closed circuit tv at school. the kids love doing it, and the other students love hearing about upcoming events in a way that is much more tolerable than the loud speaker.
this project is for an upcoming ASB event [i'm actually running this event too, which is fun]... we are doing a spoof on American Idol. now i've never watched the show, but it seems to be a big hit. we have 8 finalists going head-to-head this friday after school. the prize??? $100.00 -CASH. anyway, we filmed their auditions, and will be playing that as well as each finalist's interview and add some photos from their photo shoot. that will air on friday to hype up the event even more. we also did a mock version of the event, and we are airing that tomorrow; that's what i'm working on now. it's actually a short segment, just under 2.5 minutes, so it shouldn't take long [though the puter is teling me i have an hour left to go...... hope it's not right]. tomorrow's portion will take all evening, as it will be a good 25 minutes long.... but hey, i'm entertained, so no worries....
anyway, time to check mail and diddle around with some other things.....

been awhile......
my my..... has it really been since september that i last visited my own blog?? sad but true.... its not that i haven't had anything to write about [geez, visit Wollf and you'll know a lot has been going on]. it's just that i've been caught up in other "stuff" and by the time i think about writing, i'm ready for bed, telling myself i'll get to it tomorrow. so it's tomorrow and here i am.....
wollf's upstairs taking a 10 minute nap that started 45 minute ago, and snoring loud enuff that ransom and i just giggle.... uber's out on the deck in the dog house...... shock collar is back on along with habanero sauce strategically placed..... don't get us started on the latest uber stories. but to make a long story short, 2 hats chewed up [one much worse than the other], sheet music from school became a snack along with the "train your dog in 10 ez steps manual", my cell phone was destroyed in 3 chomps, and we found out that the lounge chair cushions have way more fluff on the inside than one would think.... forget leaving ANYTHING out these days, cuz if you do, it's gone. now to really be fair, many of the uber mishaps have been a direct result of ransom's playfulness. you know how it is; kitteh hops and leaps around knocking everything down in his path, just to be gobbled by the brown vacuum cleaner.
i just finished doing progress report grades, and trying to find a replacement phone for my middle boy..... seems he and his little bro were filming a video for utube and the little one decided to chuck nick's cell phone across the room, breaking the cover off..... boyz will be boyz, but dad's making them use their christmas money to replace it... too bad for them!
after i'm done here, i'm going to practice my "praise music"..... seems that i got myself rooked into playing in the praise band for an upcoming women's conference at the local church. had rehearsal on saturday, and will again on tuesday, followed by a friday night and saturday event. should be okay, and i actually had fun jammin on a really tight DW drum set. the woman who asked me to play will then, in turn, help me out with the faculty rock band..... yep, there's a talent show coming up at school and we've formed a faculty rock band! we're the "rock angels" and the band itself is all gurls [keyboard, guitar, bass, drums, and lead vocalist], with about 8 other backup singers. should be a hoot. the band practiced our tunes during lunch on th/f and we don't sound too bad. we're having a full blown rehearsal tomorrow, and i'm sure it will be quite entertaining.... hopefully our singers have been practicing. we'll be doin' joan jett's "i love rock-n-roll" and journey's "don't stop believin'...... will let you know when we cut our first record deal. hey you never know, you might even find our official world tour t-shirts on ebay!
