Out of Plumb

No house stuff again. Ran around in Virginia City last weekend for their "Terror Train" Halloween gig. I was the Chainsaw killer. I can tell you this; it is a lot less scary if the saw doesn’t start on the first pull. Got a couple of kids to cry, good stuff. Working on the last paper of this class, due Saturday by midnight. I can score a 62% on it and still get an A- so I am not that worried about it. Sunday I hope to reacquaint myself with sleeping. Tonight is the big H hour so that means toilet paper, eggs and paint-balls. I plan to strike back and have charged my paint-ball gun for the occasion. I don’t know if it will scare them off or make them more determined but at least I will know who it is by the bruises. Something really scary now, I am going to sit in on contract negotiations tonight. The head of the school board called and asked if it was important enough to show up. Yeash. OH and I forgot I am sick again. Hooray for snot!

Yea, not much stuff happening on the blog. It was pointed out buy an individual I will refer to only as 'Mr. Pot' that the Kettle and I need to check in. Truth is I have done nothing on the house other than installing 2 shelves and a counter top in the pantry. All my time has been going into getting a masters I am not sure I want to get. That isn't true, all my time has actually been going into avoiding doing my masters homework, but so far this has not translated into house construction. I have managed to strip and dispose of the lawnmower made so famous (infamous?) that first blog summer, clean up the leaves twice, tumble 2 loads of glass for the flower beds, cut and dry pears from our tree and build some evil glow in the dark eyes for Halloween. Anything but a full and proper examination of the plight of Native American youth in the traditional institutional classroom setting as a relation to the changing dynamic needs of the Native communities the schools of this nation serve. If you will excuse me I need to go and argue with a camera vendor about why a school can't use video cameras who's proprietary software only allows the avi files they create to be edited while the camera is attached to the computer. My original argument (It's a school!, it's a school!, it's a school!) must need some clarification.
