parent teacher conference karaoke.

we plan lessons.  we grade tests, quizzes and papers.  we call parents.  we give detention.  we go on field trips.  we do hall duty.  we talk all day.  we think about other jobs we could have.  we get dehydrated.  we babysit.  we take attendance.  we pray for snowdays. we wonder why kids can't multiply and laugh at the things they say.  we teach. 

some say we are role models.  

but on the friday after parent teacher conferences....we are stars.  

she and her friends got talent

we could have sung happy birthday to you and been over with it, but there are so many other great hits and lets face it, we all just wanna be stars...

here are a few hits that come to mind...

happy birthday pretty, little lady.

roommate's version of fun

Considering I have music on all the time, my collection of tunes on my iPod is not very reflective of what I actually enjoy listening to. Thankfully Pandora and roommate have opened my eyes to new artists as well genres of music.  Some time ago on a Friday night, roommate made a play list on my computer.  Perhaps she did not realize she was on my computer.  Maybe she was thought I was in need of some desperate help with my musical selections.  She may have been lazy to walk to her room to get her own computer with her own music.  Regardless, on my computer sits one of the best playlists...better than the Top 25 Songs Played, DJ AM's compilations (gym and party mix), and Brawn (study mix).  It rivals with The 6:04 Train to GCT and Oldies but Goodies playlists.  

Oldies, rap, French tunes, classic rock, alternative, pop, ....

...81 songs, 4.7 hours, 278.6 MB...

...most played artists: beatles, o.a.r., c.c.r., the killers and rolling stones.

I recently played this incredible list of songs at a bbq and I could not help but notice people enjoying the musical selection by singing along, tapping a table and an occasional, "oh my god, I love this song."  And to think roommate does not have this playlist on her own iPod.  Absurd.  Sooner than later My Roommate's Version of Fun will be transferred to Macie. I promise roommate that much.
