whew, it's been a busy month and a half about, lots of things going on at work and at home, but this weekend i had a little bit of time off from tennis and special events and what-not so i finally got to go surfing again for the first time in like two months probably! geez, that's a long time, and it's been so freakin' hot that it took me two months to get my ass out to the beach? sad.
but it was great out there. for some reason, ali'i was way empty, and i went on saturday. don't know why there wasn't anyone out there, i mean, the waves were small sure, but the surf report said it'd be on the rise and sure enough, waited around a bit and caught some sweet clean sets. super fun for sure, plus, kua'aina avocado burger after that = yummy!
so it was a refreshing little weekend, got some cleaning in, some tennis, surf, church, piano, reading... and now it's time to go back to work. well, i'm not hsta, but if they approve those furlough days and kids get 17 three-day weekends this year? whoa, that's 1) a lot of missed time for them, 2) a lot of time-off (or psuedo-time off since i'll probably still be at work, but with an enticingly-quiet campus) for me, and 3) probably gonna push my union negotiations to furloughs as well. which i'm not SO against, merely because if you don't work, you don't get paid right? what's the big deal about that? sure, you're annual income is gonna dip because that's like so many days without working, but doesn't that beat taking a regular pay cut and working the same amount for less money? blah, politics. after reading "the godfather" i see the skepticism in mainstream society and politics. people wanna believe that society is so unbiased but that really ain't the case at all is it? haha, it was a good book.
anyway, time also to start getting excited about tv again... namely: DOLLHOUSE!
i mean, c'mon, everything about this show is just sexy. including everything from the lighting to the architecture dude. i know last year i was super bummed about those idiots at fox cancelling "terminator: the sarah conner chronicles," but i just read that summer glau (y'know, cameron, the terminator) is gonna have a recurring role on dollhouse! plus, alexis denisof (wesley from buffy/angel) is gonna have a guest role too. and amy acker is back as dr. saunders/whiskey so we'll have a whole angel reunion with the three of them. plus, if they bring back wash (from "firefly") as alpha then we'll have even more joss whedon tie-ins, which i love, since he's the only writer/creator who's name i actually even care to know. plus, i just bought the season 1 dvd so i'll be catching up on last season's episodes while the new season starts on friday, woo hoo!
okay, i'm over my daily dorkiness... time for a big sleep.

i think this hsta thing is really gonna push the state to negotiate w/ hgea b/c otherwise they're basically paying us to do nothing on those teacher furlough days and that doesn't seem like "saving money" to me. i already have plans to come in on 10/23 and watch some tv and knit. oh, lance came home w/ the furlough schedule. it's crazy. basically from the week of 10/23 on, we have 4 day weeks for the rest of the school year since on the weeks they don't have a furlough there's a holiday. there's only like 1 or 2 full five day weeks in there.
