You have to be a fan of voice acting to like this but watched this twice in a 12 hour period (and be warned that it’s over an hour long).

For me, it was worth it to hear Batman narrate the Star Wars saga with Bender, Bubbles, Christopher Walken, Shatner, and others as the cast. For you, maybe not.

Had another class based around a video but had enough sense to bring in a long essay in case of mechanical failure.

Then I forgot the essay in copy room.

Amazingly, the projection system worked perfectly. Murphy has been declared missing.

I thought I learned my lesson. Instead of having one main activity that could be destroyed by technological malfunction, I brought a back up.

First the copy machine destroyed the model essay I had planned on using. Okay, fine, no panic. I can use files from my flash drive.

The class computer was dead.

“See you next week, folks!”

Thought everything was in order. Watch video. Discuss video. Exercise based on video.

The equipment didn’t work. The manual turned out to be for another room with a completely different system.

Going back to chalkboard only next year.

Leaving NKU until fall semester. I tried to do too many changes to my class plan that it got away from me. Summer should give me time to fix things.

I’ve been waiting for a student to finally finish her makeup work. I’m still here ten minutes after I needed to be after the two-hour exam session so I’m about to give up.

Got directed to the Guinea Pig Festival in Peru. You dress up your pet in a cute costume and then eat it.

On Sunday, for the first time in I don’t know how long, I didn’t watch the kids or do a load of laundry. From 8:30 am to 8:30 pm, I worked on Lonzo Jone’s Escape. It’s shot on real film, not videotape, which is like writing a novel on the back of the original Declaration of Independence.  So far, it’s looking good. More details as it progresses.

Last day of regular classes at NKU:

I saw two sleeping mallard ducks near the sidewalk when I was going to my first class. I started to take a picture of them but one of them jumped up and tried to bite me.

It’s been that kind of semester.

I’ve been letting classes out much earlier than I should. I still have something wrong with me that makes me feel like vomiting almost all the time [cue election year joke]. You would think this would make me lose weight but it isn’t happening. I’d think I’m infested with demon or alien larva but they’d be a lot quicker.

Usually students react to Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction or laws restricting religious activity (related to the Westboro Baptist Church). Tonight they responded more to a story about Soupy Sales than anything else.  

I guess that’s not a bad thing.
