Compunction Junction

two months...and random crap

It's been a while.  This "crappy" blog space is terrible.  I can't swear; so words like "cock" ****, piss and ****" will end up being **** or beep or some stupid garbage.  That will require imagination on your part. 

But without further ado, more crap (in point form):

One of my kids has taken to grabbing my "chest" and poking my gut.  I hadn't really set myself up as a rambuncious teacher but suddenly this dude has become more grabby than an teenage octopus on its first date.  Not cool.  Hopefully that wears out.

*The school is still great.  Random days off here and there.  The students are fantastic.  I was voted "7th best teacher" by a grade 5 class.  Whether it was a school wide (35 teachers) or a class specific (3 teachers) poll, can only be guessed.  It's nice to see classes change from terrible pirate barges of malcontent to pleasant little English loving fairies of cuteness.

*Europe is only 3 weeks away.  We still haven't laid out our exact plans for our ever changing traipsing throughout France/Germany/Spain.  We'll see how it turns out.  I've got a gig lined up at the KHL cafe (NOT pot related coffee shop).  It seems like a realy classy joint.  I have a contact in Amsterdam who is trying to get me another couple shows (I would open for her) but I can't cross my fingers anymore.  Still, I'm content with one.

*I've FINALLY started actually GOING to my badminton club.  I was registered in June but the damn thing started at 7am.  I'm not a morning fella.  The club is generally okay but I have this kinda zenned out old fella who keeps giving me hints.  Watching other players completely disregard what he has to say is something less than inspiring to me.  And man, these cats are GOOD at badminton; I don't know if these guys are average or above average but geez, they bounce around and hit like freakin' electrons.

*I'm hoping that my wife and I will be able to procure some 100% FRESHLY ground whole wheat flour from the markets around town.  I wanna make some bread with our oven.

*6 More days of school and then I'm finish for the summer.

I've had problems getting into this damned account so posts (or whatever the hell they're called on this blog dealieo) could be sporatic.

*I think my new favourite term of derision is "Bollocks!"
