Teenage Vampires are Silly

The new Twilight movie will be released soon, yet the soundtrack is out now. I hate to say it, but its so good. Who knew teenage vegetarian vampires could live their movie lives in the presence of really good music.

Eating Animals

Tonight Ryan and I went to hear Jonathan Safran Foer talk about his new book, Eating Animals. The audience was large, overflowing into an alternate room where the presentation was projected in real time.
Both Ryan and I thought the speech was well done. We are aware of the ugliness that is factory farming. It is repulsive how animals are treated in these farms. The refreshing part was how it is presented by Foer. The approach was non-confrontational, and more informative, and conversational. Find out how your food is made- think about what you put in your mouth.

Mannerisms and SEPTA

SEPTA M-4 (Adtranz) 1218

Earlier this week I had a professional development day where I noticed my mannerisms have been slightly altered. As the speaker was presenting his information I found myself behaving like a watered down vision of my students. Eye contact?-No. Scoffing?-Yes. Eye Rolling?-You bet. I could not believe that I've picked up on these qualities. Then again, its only natural to adapt and pick up behaviors of the people you're with a majority of your day.

Oh, and... as my students would say "Miss, SEPTA's drawn!"
