Tidbits

Random thoughts:

1. I saw "Ray" last week and thought it was pretty good. Mainly, I just enjoyed seeing a musician I've always admired portrayed so accurately. Apparently, Jamie Foxx really played the piano in all of the scenes. I find that incredible. More interesting trivia here.

2. I saw "Finding Neverland" a few days back and cried so much I heard the tears dripping down onto my synthetic coat like raindrops on my roof. Great, great movie.

3. I think I bounced at least one, if not two, and possibly three checks. NOT COOL (in my defense, one of the checks was written at the beginning of January, and I wrote in my planner the date they told me they would cash it, which was over three weeks ago. Unfortunately, I don't think they did, and thus my bank account was 500 euros off. Oops.). It's really too bad because I want to join the gym, but um... looks like that's going to be put off for awhile, at least the time it takes for me to get my banking straightened out.

4. Work starts again tomorrow and I'm very unexcited about that. However, I have lesson plans coming out my ears, so at least I have some new things to try out in the classroom.

5. Speaking of bounced checks, Kdogg and my's new plan is Peru and Bolivia. Anybody been?

6. I have a great boyfriend. It's been nice to be able to wake up with him and do the morning routine thing with him (breakfast, tea). It is going to hurt very seriously at 5.30 in the morning when he is still sleeping soundly, and I am trying to find matching socks in the dark.

7. Somebody just drove past my house with their music so loud that my windows literally shook. I'm SIX FLIGHTS UP people.
