All I can say is "Wow". That would take a lot of time, and the design is so simple and beautiful. I am deeply impressed. It would be an interesting project to undertake - something a lot like the Web Design and Content Writing class that Dr. Morgan teaches.

Snowballs From Heaven
I was walking through the blizzardy snow yesterday after my office hours (3pmish) and as I walked up the steps into my dorm, I suddenly felt eyes on me and I looked up. A couple male residents were holding up a snowball, ready to launch it at me.
Now - for those that know me - I have that bubbly personality and am usually a happy person. But, I must have had the glare of death, because the boys backed up from the window with such a surprise on their face. I looked down one window and another RA was standing there and I asked her what was going on and she told me there had been some guys throwing snowballs at unaware passer-byes. I decided to make sure it didn't happen anymore, so I stood there in my soaked shoes and cold toes for about twinety minutes. They showed up at the window after about 2 minutes and they backed up as soon as they could. When I saw that, I yelled up at them to close the window and LOL, they did. Whoot - the plusses of looking older than I am! I have a suspicion that they believed I may have been one of the older workers at the college. Heheh - you can't throw a snowball at someone that could be old enough to be your mother! Muhahaha
Of course, if I had been their mother, i woulda been about 11 or something. Gah!
But, that was my excitement for yesterday. Crazy snowdays!

Well, the past weekend went way too fast! I barely got anything done but I did get some fun thrown in there.
Right now, it is 7pm, and I'm drinking a cup of coffee - I plan on taking the rest of the night to grade papers. I have a nice sturdy stack that I need to tackle. I know it shouldn't take too long this time - hopefully.
Aspen rented Down With Love, and I highly recommend the movie. Usually I don't look for those kinds of movies (dunno why not) and this time I was highly impressed. Very naughty humor but not overly so. Funny as heck. Go rent it out guys, it's fun!
Through User Friendly link - I founf their Link of The Day was quite fun to play with. Check out the Professor Snape Detention Generator. As I was told after using spells against a student,
"Ayleen,
Accidents will happen, but even so you must learn to be more careful.
I am sure that an evening spent in my dungeon, picking the legs off a few barrels of spiders will help to focus your concentration.
S. Snape"

Arrrrrr!
Red Anne Flint
Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Whoa, a post!
I finally noticed that I was neglecting the blog for too long and will finally get back to my old project.
Was watching the "I Love 80s" special on VH1 and found out I started remembering things at 1983. I definitely remembered the Wrath of Khan, Star Trek movie - I believe Mom and Dad took us to see it in the theatre.
Another of my fish died, poor Frodo. That now leaves me with the last of the Hobbits names - Bilbo. He is a pretty active fishy and I feel strongly that he may outlive the others now.
German has become a favorite among my classes. I love the language! It's so much fun and interesting to learn the new words. Especially trying to pronounce them - such as Psychologie. What fun!
I've been planning out the College Writing II course I'll be teaching next semester. I want to incorporate Fairy Tales and hope I can come up with an engaging class that students will enjoy, along with myself!

Saturday Evening Post...(TM)
It's another one of those quiet weekends and I am so slow in the head right now that I feel like a slug! err.. without all that gooey stuff... oh and I do have a skeleton...
I and Aspen were talking last night and she had me discussing what Rhetoric was and trying to explain what it was all about. Well, I of course am so new at it that I was doing a horrible job in trying to explain. So, I went home and found this great site - which I am going to talk to Dr. Morgan about. I also began talking about my dilemma in what I would like to do my dissertation - which I have always believed would be about Beowulf - but in what way? Well - since I have begun teaching and am wholly fascinated by rhetoric, I asked the question out loud during a talk with my best friend and said it would be hard to mush the two together. But, when I gestured with my hands the merging of the two subjects, it popped into my head that if I looked at the right angle, I may just have a thesis I would be excited to explore! Perhaps more study and experience in rhetoric will help me in finding my niche.

I'm not just ignoring my blog....
...it's just that I have things I'd like to say that have to stay unsaid. I can't throw anything onto the blog in fear of saying something I shouldn't have (Hagriditis). So, in response to such a lifestyle as I have right now - I stay silent. I've never regretted staying silent.
In my little world of self, I was enjoying a book on King Arthur. I love the stories - and no I have no class making me read this. It is total self gratification.
I did get my fairy tales book in the mail and my black ink for my printer. That is going to be a huge thing for me. I have to read that book so I can be ready for class - thank the sky for having it brought to me so soon.
I am planning something for Haloween for my floor. I am hoping to have it funded - instead of my floor paying for it. I want to get to the dollar store too for some Haloween decorations - I love decorating!!! Hopefully no one will come and tear it down - college "kids" are still in the dorms and haven't figured out how to behave yet. Hopefully being taken fro under their parents skirts - they can figure it out through good friends on what is socially decent or not. Yet - there are always those few that instigate just about anything you can imagine. Ah well, if not for them, I wouldn't have my RA job, now would I? heheheh
