I’m sitting at the dining room table while the kids watch a movie about a snowboarding chimp. N asked if I wanted to read books with him, but then he realized the boys were watching a movie they chose last night at the library, so he decided to watch the film instead. Oh well. I can catch up the journal.
Today was decent, but I didn’t get a chance to meditate. I also think I’m replacing some bad habits with others. I’ve been eating a ton, and I haven’t worked out since last Friday. Maybe tomorrow I’ll go for a walk. I’m not in the mood for the YMCA. This morning I woke a bit after six and left for work by eight. I stopped at a local elementary school and observed a student teacher at 8:20AM. She did a good job, and I learned more about polygons than I ever knew before. She was quite structured and explicit, which maybe the group needed in this case, I don’t know much about Math. I thought the plan worked pretty well. After I left the school I hit my office and worked through paperwork through most of the morning. I ate lunch in the university cafeteria (a lot of little kids present today) and started the schedule after lunch. Linda and I managed to work through most of next year, although the schedule fries my brain, but I’m glad we got a good start. I had a meeting about next year’s administrative end later in the afternoon, met with the student teacher in my office, and headed home. Oh, I also helped change a student’s tire in the parking lot.
Ok, ten bullet post:

1) I watched “Borat” a couple nights ago. I thought facets of that film, particularly the wrestling scene, were as funny as anything I’ve ever seen. I’ve got three other films, “Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down”, “School for Scoundrels” and “Stranger Than Fiction” on tap. Maybe I’ll watch one tomorrow night.
2) I’m very much enjoying Ha Jin’s “The Crazed”.
3) I think “30 Rock” is the most underrated show on television. Then again, I don’t watch a ton of television, so maybe I’m missing another show that’s even more underrated.
4) The temperatures are set to improve over the next few days. God, I can’t wait for this winter to be over.

Ok, only four bullets tonight. More this weekend.
