Thanks to everyone who posted or pm'd me with recommendations yesterday. I now have a long playlist with lost of variety. Hurrah!

Rather frustratingly I realised Edexcel have shaved over a week off this year's marking time. Bah. I am pondering writing to them to ask why.

Today's procrastination tool is here (Draw a mouse, discover what your mouse says about your personality). It's quite funny and I daresay not true, but it might keep you entertained for a minute.

Last night on one of the blogs I read fairly regularly I came across a link that allows you to make a lego mini-me. It's a bit like making a South Park minime, except with lego.

Here's mine:



You make them here.

Now go forth and procrastinate!

In other news I'm working clearing this week and my body has picked now to develop a cold. Hopefully I won't lose my voice or that's me out of a job!

For one of my uni tasks I have to write about two pupils and how I taught them: one "Gifted and Talented" and one SEN. I've written up the Gifted and Talented, but run out of concentration and focus as I moved on to the write up of the SEN pupil.

What is the problem that the SEN pupil experiences?

ADHD.

How very appropriate.

Old adverts, including the Clarks "Magic Key" or whatever shoes. Go look! So cool!

Day started well. Blahblah angst random mood crash feel bad and apathetic and very down blahblah threw pillows can't concentrate blahblahblahangst.

Upshot of all this is that I have a lesson plan for someone to teach on Monday to write and get to him to check over. Trouble is I feel so crap I can't get motivated to do it tonight so I'm asking your advice. I can either say "fuckit, I know I won't achieve anything tonight anyway except getting more stressed and frustrated" and go see an advance showing of Wallace and Grommit, or I can stay and try working anyway.

Blaaah :|

In other news, have my new mobile phone. Nice. Newer version (Nokia 6230i) of my old phone (Nokia 6230). Vast improvement.

Going to go eat more marshmallows now and wallow in my own self pity. Ph33r.

Meme sheep!

From bethanthepurple and amabat

Type into google search "[Your name] needs".
Post a poll with the results that work (most of your results will have, e.g. in my case, "Elizabeth needs X").

I present piggies, in colour:


and in ascii:


Piggies!

(The effect of the latter was achieved by queuing up the picture in VLC Media Player started on the command line but not in X. It also plays films and tv shows in ascii if you tell it.)

Piggy joy!

Everyone please go try the last few bits of my meme and my survey, which is partly procrastination, partly to help me choose the username for my new LJ which will be concerned with teacher training matters and work (which will be friends only) so I can keep this LJ completely open :)

Go do stuff :P

If you, like me, hate the Crazy Frog, you will find that this webpage is possibly the Best Webpage EVER!

Go look!

NOW

With many thanks to kimble who brought the link to the collective attention of one of my IRC channels last night.
