They are making rain on my street now. Imagine manufacturing a rainstorm in Oregon! Ha ha ha ha ha. And yet they are doing it:
Lots of stuff is happening in my life besides this blasted movie, you know. Like… um… uh… hmm. Well, my friends are doing cool stuff anyway. Steve made this wonderful movie that I am very proud of/inspired by. And Mikey just bought a Sidekick, which means he’s practically living in the future. And Rebecca is getting all geared up for art school, where she is gonna hang those suckers out to dry. (I don’t know what that phrase even means!! But she’s gonna be the coolest of the cool, I know that.)
And my cool book drive is going pretty well! Check out photos of the recent additions to my library from Mike, Nicole, Erica, Patti, and Tim (not pictured because I already brought his books plus a few of Mike’s to my classroom.) Thank you, awesome dudes! I’m just a couple of weeks away from the start of school, so it’s totally not too late to donate! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, check out my awkward plea/amazon.com wishlist here.
I’m getting pretty nervous about the whole thing, but I’m trying to suppress it so I won’t blog about it yet. Teaching?!? Who wants THAT kind of responsibility? I just want to bang on these drums all day, you know?

I really miss the rain, you are so luck!
Dunno what made me think of this, but, if you haven’t read it already (and barring some accepted collective diss I haven’t been made aware of since I didn’t go to college in Portland [this book was written by a Reed alum]), I think Trask, one of my favorite books, would be fine read for this time of year, this time of politics.
Something to do with the rain, probably.
I’m totally with you on the teaching thing. I really want this job I’m interviewing for, but at the same time I’m thinking that I’d have a lot less to worry about without it… Hmpf.
Yeah, I feel the same way about starting a new year, and I’ve been doing this for a while. I think it relates to childhood night-before-the-first-day jitters. I usually tell the kids how I was feeling before I met them, and how glad I am to find out they’re nice. Then they tell me how scared they were, and we’re off and running…
