Ironies and Celebrity Sightings (or maybe both)

Tonight, my roommate and I went to see the new film Changeling, which I had very low expectations for (considering the fact that it stars Angelina Jolie). Yet, it was an amazing film which, for those of you unfamiliar with the plot centers around the true story of the 1928 abduction of a Los [...]

Surprises

The biggest surprise of last night’s suspended game 5 of the World Series, was not the onset of a the hurricane, the accurate call of Utley’s tag out on a double play, or even the decision to suspend the conclusion of the game until today, but rather the fact that baseball commissioner Bud Selig apparently [...]

A Good Walk Spoiled

After an insanely hectic week, in which getting to teach my class was the only respite from all the other administrative and bureaucratic garbage I get to deal with, I was able to actually enjoy a relaxing morning at one of the local Par-3 golf courses.

However, it [...]

What the ?!?!?!?!

I was in OSH the other day in order to duplicate a set of keys designed to give a 4-lock level of security to our apartment, when I saw the adjacent display.
Apparently, mid-October is considered the beginning of the Christmas season now, at least in the home hardware business. Nice.
This week has been [...]

A Weird Monday

My classroom frequents many visitors. Given that, I fully expected Ray Cortines, the LAUSD Chief Instructional Officer (the #2 guy in the whole district) to stop by my classroom during his visit to Cochran Middle School today.
Since I knew he was visiting, I briefed my 2nd period class first thing as they walked [...]

Today was Friday, which is kind of funny, since it really felt like a Monday (yesterday, we had a day off of school in observance of Yom Kippur).
Regardless, I’ve discovered the best part of my job. The best part of my job is hearing about (or seeing [...]
