"In Russia long ago..."

I've been on such a RASPUTIN kick lately. I mean the song. That 70s disco tune by Boney M. I find myself listening to it every day. Like right now. It just finished, so I'm going to put it on again. I hope my neighbours enjoy it. <3

I am soooo tired but don't want to go to bed just yet. The same thing happened last night. I'm drinking coffee but it isn't helping. I've had so much coffee today. At work we got a free breakfast! (It's teacher appreciation week, apparently, so we got little gifts every day left on our desks or in our cubbies. I got flowers, chocolate I couldn't eat because there were nuts in it, and a Chinese fortune cookie.) Our wonderful principal put together (HERSELF, mind you) an entire frakking BUFFET for us. It was sooooo awesome, omg. There were danishes, chocolatines, all kinds of juicy, sweet, sugary, fruity pastries, cake (!), chocolate, various meats, cheeses, eggs, yogurt, bread, croissants, jam, paté, fruit...OMG IT WAS INSANE. And soooooooooooo good!
It was a ped day, so we didn't have students to teach. And there were no meetings today either. So we were able to relax and stuff our faces. Yummmm.

Also, yesterday was Pajama Day at school which meant everyone came to school wearing pajamas. I wore Guitar Hero pajamas and the kids FREAKED. They loved it, lol. It was so much fun. It was soooo cozy teaching in pajamas, I had no idea it would make that much of a difference, but it sure did. I wish every day was Pajama Day. <3

Isn't it?! It's going to take me a long, long, long, long time to ever get sick of this song, methinks. <3

i lost the thread in which we were talking about bjork. plus, i'm too lazy to search hard. someone just asked me what parts bjork actually writes..as far as backup vocals, the symphony, the electronic...do you know? I realized I have no idea.

because i am selfish and don't read my friends page, i didn't realize you were a teacher. that's pretty amazing. what do you teach?

I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure that Bjork writes everything herself. I know at the very least she writes her own lyrics and composes her own music...whether she has any help with that though, I don't know.

I teach ESL (English Second Language). :) It's my first year and I'm teaching primary school, grades 1 through 6.

aww, damn that buffet sounds so good! After reading your journal for a bit I've concluded that you must be the coolest teacher ever.

I'm listening to Rasputin right now, the Boiled in Lead version. Boiled in Lead are fantabulous -- my favourite song by them (besides Rapsutin) is Hook 'Em Cow. Seriously. Go find it. You won't regret it.

I've never heard of Boiled in Lead. I'll have to check that out on Youtube. Thanks for the suggestion! :)
