Hallowe'en!

Mo and I dressed up for Halloween. She took the pictures, so I will direct you to her blog to see them. I went as Artie, the strongest man in the world, and she went as Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction.

Pictures over here.

Why I hate George Lucas.

This is an actual easter egg from the new Star Wars DVD: http://www.gorillamask.net/yodadance.shtml

Beatnik Update

I had two days off from student teaching so I made a new Beatnik Squad. It's over here.

Background information here and here.

Sandwich

This weekend, I went to Buffalo to celebrate Tom's birthday. This afternoon we stopped for lunch at a lovely little restaurant that was soaked in almost as much grease as the food we consumed. Having never tried a reuben sandwich, I decided that I would try one here. After waiting about two to three hours for the food to arrive I took a bite out of my sandwich to find that the restaurant had not served me the sandwich made famous by Reuben Kulakofsky, but instead, they served me the Ramsey sandwich.

The Ramsey sandwich recipe is very similar to the Reuben, but a little bit cheaper and quicker to prepare.

Ingredients: drained sauerkraut, chopped sweet onion, chopped parsley, creamy Thousand Island dressing, submarine sandwich bread

• combine the sauerkraut, onion, and parsley
• spread Thousand Island dressing on sub roll
  
• pile sauerkraut mixture on one slice
• add second slice of bread
• grill in butter

You'll notice that the sandwich has one key ingredient missing from the Reuben: corn beef.

I wasn't in the mood for a Ramsey sandwich of sourkraut and salad dressing so I sent it back for the addition of meat. It still was not very good, but I blame the restaurant.

The Rundown

Since my last post, I have done a lot of student teaching, taken the GRE, done well on the GRE, taken two education certification exams, purchased a computer, had the computer shipped to the wrong address, retrieved the computer, created a teaching portfolio, had my paperwork, teaching ability, and said portfolio evaluated by my college, worked, worked, worked, enjoyed the Colbert Report greatly, and as I do everyday from 7:30AM-9:15AM, watched the movie Phenomenon, starring John Travolta.

Here's a picture of me with my new computer that I love:

Stress.

Oh, so I had a birthday on the fifth. Turned 21. Pretty cool.

This week has been pretty stressful. My cooperating teacher where I student teach got sick and was out for two days. I didn't really have a lesson plan for either of these days and didn't have a substitute for one of them. Then on my birthday I had to face open house all alone, turning my work day into a sixteen hour one. Stress.

This weekend has been filled with GRE preparations. That's on Thursday. Then on the Saturday following I have two of my teacher certification tests. My teacher, will again not be in class on Tuesday. I think next week is my solo week of teaching. Stress.

Anniversary.

Today is Maureen and my six-month anniversary. For those of you that need proof that this girl knows me amazinging well, this is what she gave me:



The plaque reads: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my work, ye mighty, and dispair!"

Perfect.
