weekly update 7/28/10

stopped doing titles.

few things on the docket this week, but it should still be a short post.

Work is going strong, this is my second to last week and its been very fun. every firday the school takes the kids, i think mainly the lower school, on a field trip during this summer program. the field trips the past 2 weeks have been rough though. First was the DC Aquarium, which isn't bad, but its nothing compared to the baltimore one an hour away. the DC one is just small and its in the basement of a federal building. Then this past friday was to the kennedy center where we just got a tour. It was cool and all but the kids clearly wanted to see a show, so maybe somehting small coulda been organized. That and the Guide seemed to not know what to expect wiht the kids, as they all have learning disabilities of some sort. I get thta the school is cutting back cause of finances, btu still, the fieldtrips have been kind of lackluster.

I head back to EC about 2 weeks from tomorrow (thursday). Kinda weird. Assuming my dad and i drive out, we'll drive out on thursday and friday and then have all day saturday to do whatever and then drive the routes i'd take to go grocery shoopping, to the movies/ Walmart, etc. SHould be a fun road trip. So weird i'm going back so soon! looking forward to running NSO though.

In other news, my youtube channel is gonna proverbially explode with video amountage (technical term) in August. I've got Skystalker and Brawn from the second movie toyline coming at various points in the month. I've got the new Rodimus and Red alert figures pre-ordered, and they might be waiting for me at Earlham. Also, theres one more review in there, i cant remeber, but yea. its gonna be insane.

Reccomendation time:

Music first. Check out a band named Taddy Porter. Theyre kind of bluesy-rock/ southernish rock. Theyre very good. I really like their sound. Look into them on itunes. They remind me of a more grungy, less fine-tuned version of The Black Keys, not that the latter band is over produced or any of that. but yea.

Games: If you have Steam look into PEggle extreme and Geometry wars. The former is a causal strategy game type thing similar to snood. The second is a old school shooter where you have to shoot geometric shapes before they hit you. the first is free and very fun, as the sound effects are very funny at times. the second one requires some strategy, but not much. Both are great Pick-up and Play type games.


Look at that, a quick post! IF you want more on anything, let me know.
