1) I think my summer vacay is officially over. I spent a lot of time at school yet again today. I was there today from 8:30 - 6:30 which is the longest stay of the week. And, I'm going back for more tomorrow.
2) Most of my time at school this week has been devoted to unpacking all of our science supplies as our prep room, office, and 2 classes were beautifully renovated over the summer.
3) You know you're a science teacher when you burst into applause after The Periodic Table has been hung up in a freshly renovated classroom.
4) Bad news: only 4 more days until classes start.
5) Good news: only 4 more days until the next performance night on Rockstar. Hope I get to hear Lukas do an original!
6) Here's a letter from me to Supernova:
Dear Supernova,
If you pick Lukas as your lead singer, I will mostly likely probably consider purchasing your CD because I really liked how he rocked out with you guys last night. It was kinda emo-gothy, which sounds lame, but trust me, it was not lame. I liked it. Please make every song sound like that.
Sincerely,
Christielli
ps Gilby is my fave. He seems smart for a former member of GNR.
7) Here's a letter from me to Ryan Star, who was kicked off the show last night:
Dear Ryan Star,
I really didn't like you at the beginning of the competition. I was quite frankly shocked that you weren't ousted very early on in the competition. But, kudos to you, you improved, and I actually started to enjoy your performances, although I'd find faults with them and call a lot of your moves cliche, but that was just because I was beginning to fear that you were actually a threat to my dear Lukas. But really, I don't think that you're half bad and you should stick to playing the piano since that's your forte, no pun intended.
Sincerely,
Christielli
p.s. I think you look like a snarly Adam Sandler.
8) I'm listening to the new alexisonfire song "This Could Be Anywhere in the World", which I really love. I used not be able to take alexisonfire, on account of George's screaming, but I can handle it in this song enough to enjoy Dallas' singing.
9) My title is from the song "Still" by Ben Folds which can be found on the Over the Hedge soundtrack. It's great, and has this neat effect at the end that made me think that I could hear the song playing somewhere else even though I had my headphones on. It was disconcerting but oh so cool.
10) I am so exhausted that I'm going to curl up and watch some Simpsons and go to sleep.
Happy 1st of September tomorrow!!

I'm a fan of the new alexisonfire cd.
Great letters, Ryan grew on me too, ever since he did that piano version of Losing My Religion.
I also hope Lukas wins.
That is all.
I thought I posted a comment. I think blogger is out to get me. I second that about The Simpsons. What a pleasant way to end an evening.
on the bright side, you'll have a whole bunch of new kids again soon...
enjoy the rainy day weekend!
I used to get all of my summer paycheque at the end of June...those were richer times...and then September was the lean month...now I get them spread out...lesson learned...
happy first day of school to you!!!
I really liked Ryan Star, but he was doomed from the start because he has the same name as an American Idol contestant, so it would have never worked out. :p I still think Storm should have went home. But Ryan's performance of Losing My Religion is still my favorite performance of the season, unless Dilana sings a Distillers song, then all bets are off. :)
As for the Alexisonfire CD, I have also been enjoying it, and I love that song you mentioned. My other favs on the disc are Boiled Frogs, and Keep It On The Wax. If you like This Could Be Anywhere in the World, because of Dallas's voice, you will probably like those songs too. :)
Have a great Labour Day weekend. :)
