semiotic_pirate: (Core Rat & Hot Pockets)
Today is a wonderfully warm and sunny day here in my neck of the woods. Barely a cloud in the sky - and those that are up there are keeping to the edges of the sky. I've been reading through the short list of people that, of those on my friends list from prior days, still actually blog. Made some comments and thought about some stuff that was brought up and talked about. On the whole though, I've got nothing really imperative to say today. I'm just trying to soak in the peace of the day, the birdsong, the languor pervading the very air.

It isn't that I've been lazily laying around today either. No napping for me. I got some dishes done. I fed the dog and did some generally readying of the house for guests. Am only having a couple of people over for a small BBQ gathering of friends. There will probably be some bitching and complaining about life in general, or crowing about something particularly fun, etc. I'm looking forward to it. I just wish week ends were longer somehow.
semiotic_pirate: (MEME!)
Ye gods! I decided to do this "What spice are you?" meme... Hrm. I wonder how this works out with a similar meme (made for cheese) which labeled me as Camembert cheese?



You Are Black Pepper



You may be considered ordinary by some, but you're far from boring.

You elevate the mood of any discussion, and people miss you when you're not around.

You are secretly very dominant and powerful. Most can only take you in small doses.



Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] tambyrd, a newly found person on my f-list. I found a few people by searching for my moniker via Who Links To Me. Strangely, some people read their friend's f-lists and saw a post I made a while back and then linked back to it.

-----------------

In other news, the Webinar discussing the TFA in-person interview went well. It was an interesting experience at least, even if it wasn't all that informative. Anything to take the nervous edge off of the anticipation. My favorite part were the congratulations on making it this far in the hiring process. The more I read about the TFA, the more it seems highly selective and exclusive - a real gem for the resume.

I got my lesson plan all set. I will be able to teach the lesson within the five minutes given and will be providing two handouts as they would appear for the target student of said lesson. Now to practice, practice, practice to get the timing and coordination of writing and talking down. I've got to get some chalk and put it, some regular markers, and some dry erase markers in my kitbag for the day because the word from the webinar is that they will provide the writing surface ONLY and cannot specify which type of surface it will be.

This makes me wonder how many people stop through without commenting. I'm wondering how much I should continue to f-lock if I want to encourage this type of phenomenon. This place is, after all, sometimes meant to be a forum that encourages discussion - even if that discussion doesn't actually occur here.
