How's this for Vegas?

Three words for you: Feng Shui Consultant.

That's right folks. My school has a Feng Shui Consultant. How's that for awesomely awesome? I am loving it. Perhaps I shall have her into my classroom for a consultation later this week. On second thought, I'm sure some of my well-loved posters might be considered by her for tossing aside...maybe I'll just go it alone.

I've been spending some time recently burning some CDs for said classroom -- you know, some of my favorite music but with appropriate lyrics? And it turns out that I've got some inappropriate tastes. I guess the majority of my musical favorites would not be considered school friendly. Turns out Nate Dogg and Warren G discoursing over hip-hop status in the world of music doesn't really cut it in public schools. So I turn to one of my bests -- the Mighty Wind soundtrack. Oops, have to reburn that one too, because of the high-larious version of "Start Me Up" the Folksmen sing. Okay, so how about one of the Ultralounge CDs? Nope -- strike out again -- "Just a Gigolo" will not have my students concentrating for long. So far my classroom has four CDs -- David Sanchez (jazz tenor saxophone), the Coffee Club Orchestra (20's and 30's big band music), Mozart for Your Mind (this CD contains...let me check the track lists...ahh, here it is...Mozart), and my first burned CD -- a combo of the Rushmore and Steve Zissou soundtracks. But I must have MORE! MORE MORE MORE!!!!!!

On to the work at hand. Tonight Buckwalter and I make it our duty to go to the Suncoast Casino (that's THAT Suncoast and not THIS Suncoast) and turn our $20 into $30 again. And then have some din-din. Oh, and by the way -- Buckwalter, if you're looking to spice up the Victorian in a silly fashion (which I'm actually sure you're not, but I've already begun typing and I just feel like such a failure using the "backspace" button) you should consider having, as your casino's free show, some sort of Oliver/My Fair Lady crazy people jumping in the streets and throwing watermelons dance time every hour on the hour. It has to start with one lonely little boy singing, and then suddenly everyone's a-go-go! People could be doing acrobatics across the casino floor while others are twirling batons on the bar. Doesn't that sound great! I mean, it's not at all in the keeping of your theme, but still....worth considering. And THEN rejecting.
