Foolish Beat

I woke up this morning and could not get this song out of my head. At least it's not Lost in Your Eyes. Oh crap. Nope. Singing that one, too. I think I still have a hat like the one she wears in that video. Maybe I'll wear it for Kimday tomorrow. ;) Didn't Stewie sing that on Family Guy?

Today is Kimday Eve. Got 2 gift cards in the mail today, so I'll have somewhat of a social life this week. Yea Kimday Eve. It will be spent teaching, reading articles, and watching a flick for class. Whohooooo.

Oh and probably still singing Debbie Gibson. Sigh.

In other news, Obama mesmerized my cats last night. I should've taken a picture of them sitting in front of the TV watching. LOL. You'd think they'd shun him for inviting a puppy in the White House. And he didn't even include them in his list of Americans. What about the cats, O? What about the cats? They love you! Ah, my little liberal kitties! :) Plus, they're totally stoked about prop 2 passing in California. They support the farm animals. Love my kitties.

we're baaaaaack

Cats are insane this morning. I thought it was just because we left them, but now I have my doubts. Was just sitting here posting about the weekend and finding it very difficult to do so since my cats won't stop making noise and pouncing on me. Then I hear Mia hissing and caterwauling in the other room. I walk in and see her standing by the scratching post staring up at thin air and wailing. I walked toward her and she backed up frightened, which is very unlike her. Picked her up and she's trembling. Then, all of a sudden, something tugged on my shirt from behind several times really hard. I turn around, nothing's there.

My cats like vodka and other tales

Mia has learned the art of opening the liquor cabinet, and she has a habit of trying to open the vodka bottle. Yesterday, I poured myself a vodka cranberry, walked into the kitchen for a bit, and came back to find her head in the rocks glass. When she lifted it out, her mischievous smile was pink.

's been awhile since I posted, so let's see if I can catch everyone up to speed. As promised, the Astroworld highlights will be posted soon.

Halloween was a nonevent. We passed out candy to Millenials, Gen Y folks and even Gen Xers who were still in the spirit. Mama and Papa Cass kept turning out my porch light (we share a switch) because they ran out of candy necklaces (who eats those, and moreover, who passes them out?). Rumor has it that candy necklaces aren't the worst thing to get for Halloween. A teacher at school was bragging about how she was able to clean out her refrigerator. She gave one kid a head of iceberg lettuce. I'm as stunned as you are, believe me. What level of hell does that get you?

Tuesday was spent giving a test all around (HCC and PISD). Did I mention that they can't pay me because they don't have paper?

Wednesday was spent with Glinda, Gordie, and Edgy in the twinkle room of Chapultepec after I was ditched for my bday celebration. Made up for it.

today was teach all day day--Walker, Levertov, Herrera-Sobek, Wordsworth, Mistral, Burns, Hawthorne, Mill, and Carlyle. It's like a patchwork quilt of authors. I filled my spare time with internet searches and stupid quizzes like, "should you be a librarian?" I scored 100%, damnit.

Damn, I have an exciting life. Anyway, have to finish my eggnog and clean the house for the parental units who arrive tomorrow to celebrate Kimday.

Did you know there is a site called "Free Range Librarian?" It's so nice that the little librarians get to roam the yard in freedom before they become Thanksgiving dinner.
