I was going to write a post about the movies I saw this weekend. Three in three days. However, I don’t feel like putting a lot of thought into a cinematic analysis. Instead, this post is about today’s activities.
It started with the usual waking up process. It takes a while for me to get out of bed, but, when I do, I hit the floor running. There is no drinking of coffee or watching of the Today Show.
It’s always weird to hear an announcer say, “Tomorrow on Today!”
It goes from bathroom activities to getting dressed to hitting the door. Getting up to flake around the house is not for me. It wastes good sleeping time.
I made it to campus in time for today’s in-service session. Several of the teachers who received summer grants talked about how they used to money. We learned about Chemistry, Biology, History, Economics and working with deaf athletes. Unfortunately, I had to go before the last presenter took the microphone.
They didn’t use this kind of microphone, but it would have been cool if they did.
After a quick lunch, I returned to my office and worked on a few of the assignments for the upcoming semester. I have some new ideas that I hope will work out well. I also had to mess around with my iTunes. This new version got downloaded, and I am trying to figure out why songs that I deleted popped back up.
There was also an enlightening conversation with one of my History mates. We members of college faculties can have some interesting talks. I know the students would be surprised by that.
Once the conversation was over, I headed to the house to take care of some domestic issues. This included calling a plumber to work on a running toilet. It has already been looked at twice. You would think it would be tired of running by now. It also included calling someone to look at the gas logs. I need a little ambience around here.
On to the treadmill where I spent 45 minutes getting my heart rate up and reading Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die by Willie Nelson.
Appropriate title.
It’s not a scholarly work by any means, but it’s a good treadmill read. Yes, we members of college faculties like easy reads, too.
Let’s see. Treadmill. Willie. Then, the second shower of the day before a dinner of salad, chopped steak and a baked potato. Now, I am blogging and watching the Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team beat the crap out of the Missouri Tigers. The Lady Vols are pretty good this year, but it isn’t the same without Pat Summitt prowling the sidelines.
She is Tennessee basketball.
After the game, I may watch the original Ocean’s 11 with the Rat Pack.
Some real cool cats.
Or, I may read some blogs. Or, I may think of a better blog post for next time.

um, “flake around” — wonder how many of your readers hear that term on a regular basis?

Anybody with any sense should know what “flake around” means.
C’mon, it’s not fair to tell a guy like me that you watched three movies and then not say what they were! Hah
I didn’t think about that. I saw Django Unchained on Saturday, Les Miserables on Sunday and Skyfall (for the second time) on Monday.
What did you think of Les Miserables? I’ve heard really mixed things and haven’t had a chance to see it yet.
I liked it but didn’t go into it with great expectations. It was what I thought it would be.
