What’s going on?

My former roommate Brett. My colleague Jennifer. My Dad. What do these three people have in common? Well, not much except for the fact that all three are currently reveling in the sad state of demise that seems to have enveloped my New York Mets as they have now fallen into second place (to the [...]

Beautiful harbor, happy couple

Beautiful harbor, happy couple

Originally uploaded by anneniemiec

Wow! Amazing! I just figured out that you can automatically configure Flickr to post to a blog! Rather than saving a picture, and then uploading it the hard way (which was pretty easy to begin with), a simple blog [...]

We’re not gonna take it….

As the sun began to sink in the skies of central Los Angeles last evening, a gathering of approximately 500 congregated on the district headquarters located at 3rd and Beaudry in downtown Los Angeles. Roughly 15 or so of those represented were from Cochran Middle School, all rallying in support of a fix to the [...]

Requests for the wedding video

Hi everybody,
A few folks have requested a copy of the slideshow that was created for Jenna and Jay’s wedding. Unfortunately, the file-size is too huge to transfer electronically. So, in the next month, I’ll be taking some of the wedding video footage that was shot, along with the slideshow and maybe a gallery of [...]

A bedroom visitor

My roommates are hilarious. Upon my safe arrival back in Los Angeles this evening, I returned to the comfort of my room only to find a lovely picture of A.J. Duffy, taped to the ceiling directly above my bed. For those of you who may not know, A.J. Duffy is the president of UTLA, the [...]

So, it’s been a really, really long time since my last post, but that’s because it’s been a really, really crazy week. School has gotten more fully into swing, I have roommates moving in and moving out, and most especially, I have a new brother in law that I did not have 24 hours [...]

Funny Fridays: September 7th, 2007

I suppose the only thing worse than being inundated with non-stop political bantering more than 13 months before the election is the kind of election coverage that I’ve come to expect given what we’ve seen the past few years (a situation that, in the words of Dan Rather, “would give aspirin a headache”).
With that said, [...]

First Day

Wow! So now for the fourth time, the first day of school has come and gone. For the first time since I’ve been teaching, I found myself not very nervous at all. I suppose this is due to the fact that I’ve known for over a year that I’d be having my same students this [...]

The craziness begins…

It feels like it’s been a while since my last post, but I have this feeling that that will be more and more the case now (as my life officially gets crazy). Right now, three huge things are essentially occurring simultaneously. First, and most obviously, school begins this Wednesday and as much as I seem [...]
