(no subject)

Today was an okay day. Only three students showed up. We got some work done, but not as much as I would have liked. I hate it when you have one of those students who just couldn't give a damn but still keeps coming every once in a while because they can't give up the ghost completely. I hate it even more when I can't help liking them anyway....

Fooled around with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX today while trying to work on the website I'm trying to develop for work, and it just about drove me absolutely nuts. Anyone know how to use this crazy program? Anyone want to sit with me and show me how? Of course, my big problem is I don't know all the web lingo. I don't know the difference between a frameset and a table or what a tag is or what the point of any of those things are. DW does not seem to be very user friendly if you don't know all these terms.

I worked 8 hours today, and as I was driving home after dropping sydneycat off at her place, I had a revelation. I was plotting out what I might do with my evening and I was thinking about how much planning I should get done for my classes when I got home. Then I realized, "Whoah. Back that shit up. I just worked a full day, with only a 10 minute lunch, and I'm feeling obligated to work another three or four hours at home? I wouldn't do that for any other type of job."

So I didn't. It can wait until tomorrow. Tonight, I had fun connecting with my friends. I took Indierockgirl to the supermarket because she was still recovering from her outpatient surgery and couldn't drive herself. I looked at LJ. I talked to BionicBabe on the phone for an hour. I wrote in here now.

I win.

pop culture princess

So I got a minor pop culture question resolved for myself yesterday at the supermarket checkout. It just goes to show how little i pay attention to this stuff.

I happened to be home at my parents' house this weekend without nothing to do at night, so I watched Saturday Night Live with Jennifer Aniston. I saw this sketch where they were making fun of Britney Spears' 50-hour marriage debacle. I hadn't heard about this, so I wasn't even sure if they were making fun of something real at first. So fine. I can laugh at how stupid Britney Spears is just the same as the next guy. Whatever.

So then the next day, I heard some dj on the radio making a reference to the marriage and they mentioned her unfortunate husband - Jason Alexander.

Well, to show you how out of the loop I am, I went to the supermarket last night and saw the tabloids and suddenly this whole marriage thing made more sense.

Up until then, I'd been saying to myself, "How weird. How did she ever get to be friends with the guy from 'Seinfeld?'"
