The Polyphonic Spree – Section 26: We Crawl
Things I’ve learned in the past 24 hours:
* Indian food is really, really good! One of my students’ parents own an Indian restaurant here in Los Angeles, and last night 3 colleagues and I went to eat there. Indian food is really good!

This will probably be the kids movie that I have most anticipated ever!
And it certainly doesn’t hurt that Spike Jonze has decided to involve Arcade Fire, at least in the trailer!

The Rolling Stones – Monkey Man
This weekend my one of my former Los Angeles roommates (who has since moved to Portland, OR) is visiting for the weekend. Right now, as I type this, we’re sitting in our living room.

CCR – Long As I Can See the Light
Not a whole lot happened today. But forcing myself to write is, at least, therapeutic in the sense that I get to vent about all the crap that goes on in district bureaucracy. Another meeting today about planning intervention next year. This one had 13 people. 13 [...]

This coming Sunday is one of my favorite holidays, well….., I suppose it’s not really a holiday, but very well could be. This Sunday begins Daylight Savings Time! The time of year when I can drive home from school, eat dinner, and it’s still light outside! Living in a [...]
