So, I got sick. I think it was from overexertion. Teaching all day, then soccer practice in the (yes) cold weather, then basketball for a couple of hours...yeah, it wiped me out. Anyway, tomorrow we have a league game at 6:05 and my soccer team is playing their first game. It will be tough to tell my co-coach that I won't be able to make it. I'd better get some sleep. Who knowas what kind of mess I'm going to walk into in my classroom tomorrow...hmph.
The term Viking comes from the Norse word wyk meaning inlet or river. The Wykings got their name because they sailed their longships up and down inlets when trading or raiding.
I hate tv in general. I hate the endless cliche's and pseudo-morality and tear-jearkng-melodramatic-stereotypes. I hope people don't really think tv has anything to teach us about realtionships and life...I just got the shivers thinking about that...and again.
I find it fascinating that actors and musicians rise to such heights in our culture. Try being an actor in the Middle Ages. I bet you wouldn't have a mansion...maybe a hovel though.
"I just wish people would see me as a girl. Nice, sometimes dorky..." ok that's a direct quote from what is on the tv right now. Who writes this crap? That's what really gets me. It's not the actors or the tv show per se, it's the writers. Whenever I watch a show I think about a room full of writers sitting around and thinking this offal up and spewing it onto a page and slapping together a script...got the shakes again. Oh, and we eat it up and ask for more.
My next post will be a positive post. I find myself getting far to cynical these days and that just isn't a good way to be.
