the job i was all excited (and internally conflicted) to apply for has been filled. i spent so much time thinking about how perfectly i was suited for the job and what i would do with my students when i got it that i didn't even consider the possibility of someone else getting it without my even being called for an interview ( Read more... )

ok, i now have a favorite dish to cook. tonight i made fresh salmon burgers (from scratch...skinned and chopped the salmon myself) with garlic chili aioli and asian coleslaw. sooooo good. yum yum yum. seems to be one of aaron's favorites, too. they were so juicy and delicious, i wanted more than one. but one is totally enough because they're ( Read more... )

it's the carl scene in reverse. unsettling. creepy, even. just makes me shiver, both in horror and delight.

i'm not sure how i feel about driving in this weather tonight. i mean, it's not like it's snowing or icy or anything, but with it being this cold i really don't want to risk my stupid car stalling on me out in the middle of nowhere on 94. i've been in the orchestra for a year and a half, and so far i have only missed one rehearsal. and i feel ( Read more... )

thanks to all who recommended the curious incident of the dog in the night-time by mark haddon. i devoured it during my little breaks between lessons over the past two days and would highly recommend it to others.
