Push play before you start reading. St. Vincent. “Paris is Burning.” Good stuff.
This little-bit will mostly be about me and my new job. If that’s not something you’re interested in reading about, then please wait for Ms. Clark to finish her song before you proceed to the end of my post and click ‘play’ on the conveniently imbedded MUSE-ic video. It’s from their newest album. Even if you don’t like the music (which you should, shame on you) the evil bears at the end are worth the wait.
So, teaching. What about it? Is it the most involving goddamn thing I’ve ever done for money? Hell yes. Is it worth it? Yes, though, minus the Hell. Still undecided about how exuberant I am, mostly because I just haven’t had time to process everything that’s happened. Hopefully, that’s what the weekend will be for. A year ago, I had no idea that I would be where I am right now. Even though I’m undecided as to how exactly I feel about this whole thing, I am really fucking glad I’m here.
…Aside from the mid-September heat, which is making me miserable. Only thing I’ll bitch about today. Promise. There’s a promise of mid-60′s highs next week and maybe, just maybe an overnight freeze. Fingers are crossed and I am hoping.
Don’t know why I haven’t seen District 9, yet. Last I checked it was in the post to happen this week, or this weekend, but with the workload I’m left with I just don’t see it happening. Here’s to hoping that I’ll manage to see it before it sneaks out of local theaters.
And that’s it. I holding back on most of my response to stuff I’ve read for class. Read The Crying of Lot 49 by Pynchon. A little disappointed. Got what he was doing, didn’t care much for the story. Reading City of Glass by Paul Auster right now, and I’m getting into that much more. That is all.
As promised, I give you (thanks to Youtube) Muse.
Have a great evening, all.

EDIT – If you didn’t catch the MUSEic video, too late, so sorry. Gone from youtube, so gone from here.
Yeah, you shape those young minds, Tom. (Shakes fist) I said SHAPE THEM!
