i just remembered i forgot to watch my big fat obnoxious fiancee tonight. whoops.
first day of school down. it started out pretty well, but by the end of the day i was a little overwhelmed and just kinda cranky. i think im mostly tired. but it will definitely be a challenging semester. we'll see.
im looking forward to music for teachers, i think. the professor is one cooooooooooool cat. he looks like the blue owl from the muppets. and he has a low raspy voice and talks like a jazzy cool cat. he seems pretty interesting, so i think the class will be fun. plus we get to play african drums and recorders and piano and stuff like that. we'll see what happens. hopefully he can be my connection to a glockenspiel when i need one for recording.
speaking of recording, i went to buy a microphone today, but wasnt too sure of the prices i was seeing. so im still waiting on that before i record. but i did get all the adapters and cables and stuff that i need. so once i get a mike, cable, and stand, i'll be set. feel free to donate.
at this point, the plan will be for me to start a song on the 4-track, put it on my computer, email it to nate su, and have him master it and add the rest of the tracks. that could lead to some fun and interesting creations.
i have no books to sell this semester which is a pretty big bummer. last semester i owned books for 4 of my 5 classes, 3 of the 4 are only offered in the fall semester, and the 4th changed books. oh well.
im hungry.
how bout that super bowl last night? as much as i hate what the super bowl does to our country, i will admit it ended up being quite a good game last night.
please enter any and all ideas for a thematic unit in the comments section. it needs to be a topic that i wont get sick of easily. something broad enough to have related lessons in social studies, math, language arts, science, and all the other subjects. i have no idea what to do. so help me out.
im tired.
later on.
