I know it's nowhere near Talk Like a Pirate Day but I couldn't resist - and I'm bored.

Loathe:

• Losing my voice
• Getting a bloody nose
• Being disappointed by new episodes of shows that have been gone since December
• Not being able to teach since I can't talk
  

• Accepting a job (at least I really, really hope I signed under "accept")
• Changing almost $20 worth of coins into an Amazon.com gift e-certificate
• The accomplished feeling I got after breaking up my first fight
• Surfing YouTube for random videos

Maggie's 90s Music Monday post combined with ripping a bunch of CDs this weekend caused me to search YouTube for random/obscure/forgotten 90s songs.  It was a surprisingly successful search.

"On My Own" by Peach Union:

"Ready to Go" by Republica:

"Kiss the Rain" by Billie Myers:

(I admit it, I still listen to my Peach Union and Billie Myers CDs.  Although I can't quite remember where I heard of Peach Union or why I bought their "Audiopeach" CD.)

Actually, right now, it's more like can't speak.

My fever may have passed Thursday but now my sore throat is starting to impair my job.  It was horrible; for most of the day I sounded like a teenage boy whose voice was changing.  In 6th period I got the students to do things for me by promising to whisper if they did.  (My whispers came out like squeaks which greatly amused them.)  I spent an extra half-hour after school today making copies of back-up worksheets in case I really don't have a voice tomorrow and can't verbally teach the new unit.  I wish I could take a sick day but since I've already missed 2 days and we get Memorial Day off, I'm down to exactly 52 days of student teaching - which is the minimum amount we're supposed to do.  Oh well.  I guess I'll just have to stay silent for most of the day and only speak when absolutely necessary.  Oh, and try not to yell over my students too much.

Show us a great April Fools' Day joke.

Eastern Washington University (the even more East version of Central) got Rick Rolled on Saturday during a girl's basketball game.  I find that both awesome and hilarious at the same time.

Saw this ad during "The Daily Show".  I would love to live in a world covered in bubble wrap.

What was the #1 song on the radio when you were born?

I woke up this morning with a weird urge to listen to The B-52's.  (Of course, I'm going to have these songs stuck in my head for the rest of the day but who cares?)
