I got a kitty. He was a stray. My friend found him while she was camping. His name is Maximus. I don't like cats, and I will never claim to be a cat person. Yet somehow in the last year, I have met two cats whom I have very fond of. Strange world.

So Google is constantly evolving and dazzling and amazing me. But this is crazy! I was browsing some addresses on Google Maps and I found out that not only when you google an address, it gives you a street view of the address...




But now if you click where it says Street View, you can look at a picture of the house and the entire street!




How freakin cool! I looked at my parent's house and it has my parents newest car, so the pictures must be somewhat recent. Go check it out!

(Apologies to 24 Linwood for stalking you) :)

I just spent awhile going through a bunch of old random stuff...always a good time. Anyway I just found this random thing titled "Best Friends Dictionary" and it includes a variety of MK and Mike inside jokes, many of which I probably won't remember. I have no idea when this is from but I'm guessing sometime during college. This will probably not interest any of you except Mike and myself, but read if you'd like :)

Oh man what a great trip down Memory Lane. It must not have been that long ago since Good Day Live was during college. There's a lot I can't remember but so many of them made me l.o.l. Good times!!!!!!

Hi everyone. I guess it actually hasn't been THAT long since I posted but it feels like a long time. (e:Mike) 's entry made me feel like a bad person since I haven't updated! I'll try harder next time. I just got back from six weeks of living in Chicago working on my Master's. I'll be back the next two summers. The program was really awesome and I learned soooo much stuff. But I missed lots of things here so it was nice to come home. I'm currently being a bum, avoiding school planning as long as possible. I slept in till 11:30 today. Holy crap, that is late. Anywhoooo...what a boring entry, but I feel a little better since I used to be a fairly avid poster (ha) and I have slacked off for toooooo long. BYE!

I just finished some tasty Asian cuisine from yet another Wegman's I had never been to before! I love discovering new Wegman's. Today it was a Wegman's in Depew, on Losson and Transit. Although the Market Cafe did not compare to Alberta Drive or even Amherst St., it was better than the one on Orchard Park Rd. for sure.

Here are some random pics from this weekend. One thing I love about th eiPhone is that I just plug it into my computer and it takes the pictures and puts them right into iPhoto.

We were visiting my grandfather in PA this weekend. This town is sooo stuck back in time, I couldn't even tell you what decade. Fasion-wise early 90's, political/religious views maybe 1960? Haha maybe not. But anyway, I love it there.

Is this a word?


This is a random vending machine in the Treat restaurant aka the home the BEST MILKSHAKES EVERRRRRRR.

These are some of the prizes you can apparently win...



This is Robie. You feed him money. I just love it because that has been there since I was like, 6 years old, and probably before that.

How often can you get Pepsi and Coke from the same fountain thing?

A middle school in the area is putting on "Aladdin Jr." which is funny in itself, but the best was that they took pictures of the kids and imposed them on the pictures of the animated characters.



Ahhh, good times.

I'll be 25 Friday.

AHHH!

Come see Hello Dolly at JFK High School this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. :)

...posts about the weather. YIKES! I'm awake at 7 AM on a Saturday morning for no reason really. But of course I was tempted to look outside. Wowza. I don't think I'll be going running today?

I never post anymore. Maybe I have nothing to talk about anymore? That's sad. Ooh I found out that I was accepted to the grad school of my choice, so I will be living in Chicago for about six weeks this summer, and the next two summers too! I'm so pumped.

There are fewer things in the world that are funnier than high school musical productions.

Oh, and if you've ever gone to college/lived in a dorm, read this.



Well, stay warm and stay inside. Hopefully those two can go hand in hand for almost everyone.

I bought an iPhone and I looooooooooooooooooooove it!!!!!!!!!

I can't tell you how many times I've been sitting in a quiet room with students and I go to open up this website and naturally the volume is turned way up so that all the students suddenly hear "SO ORIGINAL, YOU WANNA--" (close computer) or "OH GOSH IT'S RAIN--" or whatever else there may be. Yes, real professional.

Sidenote, I had a girl faint during first period rehearsal today. Like faint fall flat on your face off the risers onto the floor. Pretty scary.

I'm home today feeling like crappola. My throat is swelled up to the point where it hurts to turn my head to the right. (e:Anne) said it's cuz my glands are "squishing" together. Gross.

I never update anymore. I never actually have time to do much of anything anymore. I'm very un-American. I think the last time I got home from work, made dinner and sat on the couch and watched TV was sometime in September. My normal routine is to be at school until like 3, 3:30, then go to some lesson or go to some meeting, then come home for like half an hour and go to some rehearsal. Today is the first day in a REALLY long time where I literally nothing that I HAVE to do (other than apparently buy toilet paper, since we just ran out...). I don't have to go to a rehearsal, I don't have to play at church...it's sort of fantastic. I needed a day like this. If only I didn't feel icky. That would be super.

I really hate TV. I don't when it happened but somewhere along the line, I lost all desire to ever have the television on. Unless it's playing Saved By The Bell or various movies that I enjoy.

I should go eat something. Maybe I'll do some lesson planning today...maybe...

Ok so I want to make a website for my chorus and music classes. I could do it through the school's teacher website program but a) they are taking FOREVER and i mean FOREVER to give me a password and b) the websites i've seen are pretty basic and boring and I'd like something a little nicer.

Are there any programs people would recommend for making a website that preferrably don't cost much of anything? I'm considering getting a .mac account but it's always $$$$. I just want to make a site because I know my students would really appreciate it and enjoy it, and I would have a lot of fun doing it.

If anyone knows of any web design/publishing programs that work well with OSX and can make decent websites, please let me know, THANKS!
