Things, Stuff, and Junk

General net hype has lead me to this movie. It's not bad, its a LOTR fan flick and they try quite hard to be exactly like Peter Jackson's version. It's quite impressive really.

I decided long ago, like maybe a year or so, that I'd do my darnedest to have this song at my wedding. It's a pretty song, and yes I know that if you recognize it then it will make you laugh. Somehow it just sums up gentle beautiful memory for me. Also let it be known I have no plans to get married in the near future... or do I? Well, even if I did... Which I'm not denying... I'd have to find a woman who could put up with me first, and such a thing... Well yeah...

Speaking of which I have frustrations I need to vent to someone, but cant because that would not be fair. It's funny how life works out. Ya' know. Know when there is something bugging you, and its something specific to another person, so it only makes sense to discuss it with them, but for one reason or another you can't discuss it it with them because in one way or another that would not be fair... I just... I wish... I...

Well so today I was back in the subbin' scene. The day was long and boring though as I only had one class to myself. All the others were team taught and by team I mean I graded homework whilst the other teacher taught. But I did get to do some grading. And then finished the day off right by learning those kids good with knowledge and stuff about Victorian romantic poetry (which I do happen to know a thing or two about oddly enough). But the true highlight of the day was third period, these two girls came in, saw that they had a sub, laughed at me and said in a pretentious voice, "A sub huh, so I guess we're not doing anything today or turning anything in" to which I said "Actually I'm collecting and grading the homework from page 354-357 in about five minutes, I suggest you get started on it." The best part is, I was serious, they did have homework and it was due and I was grading it. I got the best look of sheer terror in my entire life. It was awesome, I feed off of the plight of students apparently. They raced to do the homework and I didn't mark them off for doing it right before class, but rather for the poor quality of work they put forth in the five minutes they had to start and finish it. Ahhh it was great, but that's what they get for underestimating the power of my subbing awesome. Needless to say, they didn't give me lip the rest of class.

The Next Generation:

My next phase in a long line of crafting wooden weapons, will be a wedding present. I have been examining all the info on The Sword of Kahless. This will be my first non-human weapon, and being one solid piece (aside from the leather handle wraps) should provide a significant challenge to properly balance. See, the more small pieces you work with wood wise when crafting, the easier it is to fix mistakes and hot-swap pieces. However when the whole thing is one piece, it must be all done right the first time... blast...

Wisdom of the day, cherry pepsi and frosted mini wheats don't mix, nor do i hear good things about yuengling and crunch berries... but luckily I was not the discoverer of the second great wisdom shared here.

... perhaps I should add more game piano songs to my wedding play list... if my wife ever allows it... now that would be the mark of a great lady... Ok, so maybe I got a bit carried away, but some of these are quite beautiful.


... I wanted you to know that...
