Congrats on the firsties NVG.

Re-post from other thread:

I still have yet to see it (Eurotrip) Mavs.

I actually own Sideways, Kinsey, The Wall, Scarface, and maybe a few others, and I have never seen them.

CK, I will agree with Kel from the end of the last thread, Clerks 2 was very funny, and is so not like the original (well, they make some references to it) that it will not change your view of it.

To explain: Utah ranks lowest in teacher pay, per pupil expenditure ( right now we spend $1.47 per student) and highest in class sizes ( average 42 kids per class) and sadly in total education budget we rank 51st...yes I said 51st ( we rank lower than Puerto Rico which is a U.S. protectorate) Stack em deep and teach em cheap that's the Utah way ( and you wonder why ignorant hicks abound)

Fly, I'm with you. When 'professional' athletes and actors get millions of dollars a year, the most important jobs (teacher first and foremost, but civil services like police and fire get paid pretty sh*ttily too) get crap. I think it should be the other way around. It takes something special to be a teacher, and them that's got it deserve to be compensated for it. Then again, no one listens to me about these sorts of things, at least not the people who might be able to change it.

Well said. (Amen, brother.) Teachers jobs would be easier if parents knew how to be parents. Should need a license.

If parents did the job that they need to, the teacher would be there to push the rest of the way. (I'd make a reference involving tipping a basketball into a basket, but, well, you get the idea.)

Take responsibility for your actions and for your kids.

Well we do get compensations ( as teachers) I mean we do get the whole summer off to work at our second jobs so we can afford to come back and teach next year:) The NEA (national education association) took a poll and found that 96% of teachers have summer jobs in order to make ends meet....However all those sports stars have second jobs too. They all do adds and such in order to be able to afford the really expensive personal jet and the 3rd house in Maui.

I will admit though, I have a really fun job I love so I can't complain ( though I do anyway) I taught my kids the word ubiquitous today and it's so fun hearing them find a way to use it to try and confuse their friends...

I *heart* PC Gaming. Unfortunately, a dial-up connection limits what games I can play online. Things like WoW don't run too badly (except for when I tried MTing MC, and I don't last 2 sec in BWL without being booted back to sign-in), it's just the major patches that cause havoc for me.

I'm thinking of getting back into MMOs and looking at what's out there (either current or in the works). Guild Wars 2 sounds appealing, due to the lack of monthly fees, and that they're working on a means to transfer some (not necessarily all) gear earnt in GW1 and expansions over to GW2, despite it being set 250 years down the track. The FF MMO is something I'd like to see done well, but I have my doubts about it.

Anyway, I think I'll go back to WH40K:DC and work on conquering all enemies with the two races I've never really liked playing as: Eldar and Tau, simply so I can see all the victory speeches.

mornin' Imponderables.

It's Friday and payday here, so I am starting the day off in a pretty good mood.

Not much else to say, I'll be here waiting for y'all to wake up.

Morning Jimi. I'm awake. Sort of.

I anticipated night #1 one of Husbandless existence to be a Festival. It was not.

Tidbit was bad.
Dog was bag.
Tv was bad.
Sleep was bad.

Intravenous coffee, please. Drip wide open.

On the upside, it's my payday, too.

Payday is usually a Good Thing.

I have nothing intelligent to say at the moment, except for the fact that I may resume playing WoW, but only on a very casual basis. So for those here who do play, what servers are you on (please specify pvp/pve/etc) and if you're horde or alliance, as I may come and hang with you, seeing as how my old guild changed servers (that and they're a bit to hardcore for my tastes these days).

Hi RIMG. The weekend cannot come soon enough. I know that it is weekend eve, but today that is no consolation. I can't lean on caffeine to get me through the day anymore, and a headache is making things drag.

Enough complaining. I'll try hard for a little more of this -->

See, this is what I get for claiming the bar wench drawing was me. I'm not actually that goodlooking. The hair was sort of the right colour. And the skin colour. And her...assets were about the right size I guess although I don't usually display mine so prominantly. Not at work anyway. Also her eyes were green and mine are blueish grey. And there's the little matter of her being much prettier!

Really must get around to posting a photo...

Things are not normalizing, but I'm surprisingly comfortable with that. I find out today whether or not the apartment management will let me out of my lease. Whatever their decision, I think I'm probably going to get out of my friend's place (don't want his management getting grumpy about a longish-term guest who's not on the lease) and set myself up in a nice hotel suite somewhere. Insurance is cool with that. ^^ I'll be a total rock-star then.
