hmmm, I guess I have things to report. For the TWO followers I have now :D you thought you read this blog by yourself didn't you? well it isn't true there is another person reading it besides you. ha.
I test drove a Mini, I was drooling ALL over the place. The normal one and the S. The S made me salivate more. Went to a VW lot and looked at their smaller cars, planning something around christmas. . . we'll see.
Birthday weekend was ho-hum, thank you for the texts and voicemails, I went on a shopping spree on saturday. Visited Ikea and got lots of nice kitchen stuff I've been wanting for a while. Then replenished some teacher clothes that have been getting worn out. I've noticed a lot of t-shirts have been getting holes in them, but I haven't been buying very many shits to replace them. Crisis averted!
I've made two casseroles now :) I feel so domestic. I dont remember if this was on the last post, but I've made a breakfasty one (eggs, potatoes and sasage and cheddar), and I just barely made one for my lunches (cream soups, chicken, broccoli veg mix, bisquick top) I'm looking forward to eating it all week.
Metroid Other M comes out tomorrow, I'm SO skipping swim practice for this, but I decided to be a grown-up and not skip work too. This has been difficult to wait for, and I'm glad its so close. (I'll probably not have to post for another week, you'll know what I'm up to ;)
Lastly- my website is getting pretty bad-A. What is family for but to show off right? I own two domain names now :) my own slice of the interwebz. techwebb.org and techwebb.com Its all php based, very easy to add pages and content, totally liquid three column layout thats flawless, and I just put in a section for varrying the CSS on the pages which required some maintenance on each page but it looks pretty (using some CSS-3 in the bubble theme, rounded corners are gonna be so hot, and shadow text! oh my) you can't look at the Gateway class cause its copyrighted, and tech2 doesn't exist anymore, but everything else works well! you should check it out and poke around. It doesn't use any databases or anything, but I'm learning mySQL this semester and might make it into the website in the future. Pretty exciting stuff. Brian mentioned the games in one of his emails, they are on the about me page, if you win at them you get a prize.
and in anticipation for the Tron movie in December:

>_< Nanioshteimaska!!
As the end of August approaches . . . so does the end of my valid drivers license. So far- Government-3, Ben-0. Three trips with nothing or little to show. Just in case any of you have to romp in Bush's Homeland Security goodness bring: birth certificate, passport, marriage license, old license, W2's, tax records for the previous 3 years (in state only), college transcripts, 4 pieces of mail (postmarked within 6 days)(cellphone related mail doesn't count), and twenty bucks. Silly me that I forgot a few of those items on my three trips, and having the list piecemeal fed to me. Hopefully Monday . . . . it hasn't been the greatest Friday the 13th.
I did see Inception! I'd love to discuss it with someone, I think its "one of those movies." If you haven't seen it- I'll add my recommendation to Karen's. If you have- call me sometime before school starts.
Bought a new board game, called Smallworld, its like a combination of Pirates Cove and Risk (if you've played both those), that brings me up to 4-5 games now, yipee. Its a very fun game, visually and play.
At the beginning of this week I had to start thinking about work again. sigh. (now into actual blog post) The guy over junior high CTE (techy or engineery) classes is missing a few parts, it was actually during these two days when I actually put my finger on it. He looks (and speaks, and mannerisms, etc) like Barney from the Andy Griffith Show. He has a lot of departments grumpy about CTE as a whole now. Anyway, we held a refresher course for one of the classes we teach. Out of the two days about 90 minutes was actually useful, all coming from the same teacher, I wish he presented more. I had to teach the portion about the programming language that the mechanics use (like legos, but called fischer-technik). Some of these older teachers are worse learners than most of my students. I talked about the programming that went into a simple 8 button blender and you would have thought that I blew they minds with high-end astrophysics. Why are so many people's brains turned off all the time? If you have a real advice or real consoling, I would love to hear, I need to cope.
This week in cooking:
taco soup,
pork chops in pfeffer sauce with yummy potatoes
Hungarian beef sauce over Spatzle (home made)
Vienna Snitzel with lemon
all were very tasty, I think I might have to start uploading them to the family cooking blog, I've been trying really hard to remember to take pictures of all the meals, have only remembered once.
