weekend, SAI, stuff, upcoming movies.
Nov. 10th, 2002 08:35 pmmy mom teaches in an urban middle school located in a rather poor area, so most of her students are black. one of my mom's students is named Jtron. she refers to him and his friends as "Jtron and the other transformers." i just thought some of y'all would get a kick out of that.
weekend = good. and busy. spent a LOT of time at blandwood yesterday and today. yesterday in addition to my normal touring hours, i also attended a workshop to learn how to use PastPerfect, a museum inventory database program. the blandwood folks are working on getting a full inventory of everything in the house (a very good thing to have), and i'll get to help out by entering some of it into the system. easy computer stuff, no problem. i toured this afternoon too, or i would have if anyone had shown up and wanted a tour. i fell asleep, actually, and then closed up the house fifteen minutes early. i signed up for christmastime hours though--i'm working the weekend after next, and also for two of three christmas candlelight tour nights, and for the weekend of dec. 14. and apparently, this year on sundays, hostesses will be in costume and there will be music. woo.
i'm reading Gender Trouble by Judith Butler for my feminist theory class, and so far (ie, the preface) it's reminding me of my days in Constructions of Sexuality with Dr. Manning. he was great. i can't think of peewee herman without remembering him. but the point was, i'm also now remembering the things we talked about in that class, which is a good thing. and apparently i sold all those books, which was dumb. oh well.
tonight i hustled out the door to go to the SAI mtg, which, i discovered when i got here, is apparently canceled b/c all the SAI girls are at the NCMEA conference? this is my suspicion. the vast majority of the sisters here are music ed majors, i think (the ME in NCMEA), so it would make sense to cancel the sunday night chapter mtg. it's just annoying that there wasn't an email about it, or about where to find the mtg if in fact it's actually taking place. hrm.
my parents got to go to a preview showing of the new HP movie this morning--for free, no less. my mom says it was great and was even better than the first one. i'll be finding out on friday, and so will a bunch of you. got to get tickets sometime this week--jdogg, wanna go shopping tuesday night? we can get the new LotR dvd and our HP tickets too. AND my mom says that some copies of the new LotR dvd include a free ticket for the new movie! that would be sweeeeeet. :) she also said that LotR and Star Trek: Nemesis aren't opening on the same night (Dec. 18) like i had heard they were; she heard that one of them is opening on Dec. 13 instead. since i'm sure that's not LotR (the website is pretty definitive), then it must be that Star Trek moved their premiere (or i got it wrong to begin with, which is also possible). whatever, now i don't have to go to two movie premieres on the same day.
