I am still learning.: July 2007

http://back-to-school.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html

I am still learning. And sometimes, I even teach. Saturday, July 21, 2007. Of books and beatings. First, the books:. Which leads us to the business:. Our story begins on Wednesday during break, when I happen to glance out the window and see an unfamiliar kid on my balcony whip off his shirt and disappear around the corner to a rapt audience of about 20 kids. I am running towards the door with one hand already dialing the phone when I hear a heavy thud against my wall. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I am still learning.: May 2007

http://back-to-school.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

I am still learning. And sometimes, I even teach. Thursday, May 31, 2007. I just busted out the ole' day planner to schedule my last 3 weeks of English 9 - I am going to kick their asses with work, here - and realized that the next day I spend without some type of work-related, time-consuming obligation is June 17th, 2 weeks from Sunday. 20 straight days of work? New record, anyone? Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Highlights of my day:. I breathed pepper spray for the first time! ROMEO: Is she a Capulet? Other ...

Modern Life: October 2006

http://modernkaitlin.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 30. A More Personal Update. The Sounds are playing the Fillmore on December 3rd. I MUST get tickets! I've been listening to "Dying to Say This to You" pretty much nonstop for the last couple of days. It's flamencotastic. (And I don't use that word lightly.). Sunday, October 29. Been awhile, eh, world? The most exciting thing I've done recently was attend the Bridge School concert with roomie Myung. It was pretty awesome. Here's a recap for those who missed it. Gillian Welch performed next...

Modern Life: Epic Journey

http://modernkaitlin.blogspot.com/2008/03/epic-journey.html

Thursday, March 27. It's been a while since the last time I wrote anything up here. But last night I had a horrible, horrible experience over in SF that I just HAD to relate. Okay So I was driving Vivian (first mistake, right? And I crossed the bridge going into SF. Then, since I don't have AAA anymore as of January, I had to call my parents to get the new Farmers info. I wasn't sure my spare was any good (since I've never had to use it), so Farmers said they were going to send a tow truck just in case&#...

Modern Life: November 2007

http://modernkaitlin.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 13. Weezer Back from the Dead. Yeah, okay, so no one really believed that Weezer was gone for good. But when Rivers claimed he wanted to retire, we thought it would last a little longer than, what, a year? Apparently, the new album is to be released April 22, 2008. (Happy Bday, Dani! And an early release of "demos" (that sounds more like an EP than a demo) is supposed to come out before the end of the year. With an Ice Cube cover? You think they'll call it a reunion tour? Whatever the r...

Modern Life: February 2006

http://modernkaitlin.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 27. Whoa Like, whoa. I just read the new QC. I guess the artist decided to break out of his usual guy-angsting-over-girl-while-other-girl-angsts-over-him plot line. Bump chicka wow wow. Just had to celebrate my (pleasant) shock. Sunday, February 26. Speaking of Devika, it's her 22nd birthday! Yesterday, that is. But we went to Niyati's place last night, so tonight we took Devi out to dinner roommate style. Little does she know we're about to surprise her with a bee-yoo-tee-ful ca...Oddly...

Modern Life: Radiohead

http://modernkaitlin.blogspot.com/2007/10/radiohead.html

Wednesday, October 10. Okay, the thing that Radiohead is doing with their album-the sliding scale price-AWESOME. Now every single fan of the band can own the album. Genius. I mean, it wouldn't work for most bands. Particularly considering how little bands make off the first x albums sold. However, Radiohead knew going into this album that they would sell every album pressed. So, the price of the album was really moot since they would be turning a profit at any price they asked. Musings of a Brown Devika.

Modern Life: April 2008

http://modernkaitlin.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 23. For the last few months, I've been really pushing everyone to listen to The Wombats. [Out as of April 8th! My favorite tracks are "Kill the Director" and "Let's Dance to Joy Division," but "Moving to New York" is their most popular song so far. Shows how much I know about hit-making. :p. I'm completely in love with these guys. Modern version of The Clash? Favorite tracks: "You Don't Love Me," "Naive," "Always Where I Need to Be," "She Moves in Her Own Way," etc, etc. They call themse...

Modern Life: April 2006

http://modernkaitlin.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 21. It's been a bad couple of days. I don't know if I could give a reasonable, logical explanation for why it's been so bad. I mean, yes, a couple of bad things have happened, but usually one can bounce back from those rather easily. I think it's more that a bunch of things have come to a head simultaneously. Things that have been broiling for months. And that's just not working anymore. God, I sound like Harry Potter. Friday, April 14. I'm apparently very weird. Who knew? You Are 50% Weird.

Modern Life: October 2007

http://modernkaitlin.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 15. Okay, so, I took the Sandman quiz (because it's late and I can't sleep). I got the weirdest result. I would never have expected this. (Even besides the fact that I thought it was predesigned to give everyone Dream.much like the Sorting Hat quiz is predesigned to place everyone in Gryffindor house.). Which Sandman Character are You? You enjoy manipulating people and having people love you. You can be cruel and impetuous. Wednesday, October 10. 50 years from now, I can see buying it for...
