So I saw RENT for the second time this weekend and I’ll probably see it many more times before it comes out on DVD.

Now some of you will remember that many of my 8th graders were trying to figure out what my livejournal ( Read more... )

Oh, yes... and rooming with the pastor has great perks: symphony tickets! Some church member gave her tickets to tonights performance of Beethoven's 5th and we went and had a blast! Now off to prepping for school tomorrow.

I hate the republican party. Now that republicans have a senate majority, our Earth is being killed. The senate voted today to (basically) allow oil drilling in the wildlife refuge in Alaska. They think that this oil drilling will help us become less dependent on other countries and will reduce gas prices, when in fact this probably will NOT ( Read more... )
