It came out Tuesday (and I've had it since tuesday night,) but I've yet to actually watch it. I've just been super busy doing things like helping with the Veteran's day service at church, working, filling out teaching apps for long term sub jobs (THREE of them! Let's keep those fingers crossed!), and cleaning my bathroom.
Tomorrow I've got teachery plans, which I'm stoked about, and then on Sunday me and S&SG are going to see the new Bond. Woot!
I know a good time when I see one / And when I'm in the mood I can even be one / I can lead the parade or I can stop it / Sometimes I dance in the boat just to rock it

Working for a Living
I've been so incommunicado lately because I've been doing the working thing. Lots of hours have been put into the part-time job as we prepare for opening the new store (just three more weeks to go! I've been inside and let me just say...FABULOUS!) Also, I've picked up a couple of substituing days. I've decided that I don't hated 9th graders. I just do no enjoy the 2011 class at one of my school districts. They are mostly giant boogers that need to be wiped out. Or at least get a big tough love lesson in R-E-S-P-E-C-T from Miss Aretha herself.

Whine, Whine, Whine
It is official. I absolutely dispise the paperwork that comes with job hunting...and I hate not having a faster computer. This kitchen stuff is NOT all it's cracked up to be.

The Job Huntress
The job application process has got to be one of the most annoying, nerve-wracking, and stress inducing situations ever. I hate it. Give me lesson planning over trying to sell myself and my inexperience to someone any day.
If you think looking for a summer job sucks, try looking for your first real job as an "Adult."

3A final: Becker's Robinson ends a taut drama with DeLaSalle
Brianna Mastey, Becker's star forward, has carried her team on her back all season. But in Saturday night's Class 3A state title game against DeLaSalle, it was an unheralded sophomore who took -- and made -- the money shot.

Brianna Mastey, Becker's star forward, has carried her team on her back all season. But in Saturday night's Class 3A state title game against DeLaSalle, it was an unheralded sophomore who took -- and made -- the money shot.
Rey Robinson, a 6-1 guard, swished a pull-up 10-foot jumper with 1.2 seconds remaining to vault the top-seeded Bulldogs to a dramatic 41-39 victory.
"I guess if you're going to win a state championship," Becker coach Justin Hegna said, "why not win it in the end?"
And why not win it in your first trip to the state tournament? That's what the young Bulldogs did, in spite of a starting lineup comprising three juniors and a pair of sophomores.
Becker (31-1) won its 30th consecutive game, prevailing in a tightly contested, physically pounding defensive battle. Neither team led by more than four points in a game that also included 13 ties.
Mastey had totaled 56 points in her first two tournament games, accounting for half of her team's offensive output. But the Islanders had bottled her up most of the evening, and that was the case again in the final seconds.
It took Robinson -- a player who had struggled offensively the whole game -- to break the final deadlock.
After Islanders junior Aaryn Booker's lay-in knotted the score at 39 with 56 seconds remaining, the Bulldogs ran down the clock for the final shot.
Hegna called a timeout with 26 seconds remaining, and drew up a play to get the ball to Mastey if she could get free.
But Mastey was double-teamed, so Robinson took the ball instead, dribbling past a defender and hitting an open, lefthanded jumper.
"That was just a great shot from her," said Mastey, who finished with 12 points -- eight below her season average. "She knew that it was her time, and she just took it."
Said Robinson, who had gone 1-for-5 from the field before hitting the game-winner: "I had full confidence that it was going in, and it did."
Shelly Stemper, a junior forward, scored 11 points for Becker. Rachel Booth, a 6-2 senior, led the Islanders (28-3) with 12 points, and Booker, a 5-11 junior, contributed 11.
"We knew we were the underdogs," said Booth, whose team had finished third in the state last season. "We went out and battled. The last 30 seconds, it could have gone either way."
As it happened, it went the way of the tournament neophytes, who never wilted under the bright lights.
"We've been working for this moment since fourth grade," Mastey said. "We've worked so hard, and it paid off."

I Love...
"magic" software that lets you click boxes until, BA-BOOM, you have a pre-assessment that you've spent the past five days freaking out about. I hope someday to own my own "magic" software.
