new season of america's next top model starts tonight!!!

yes, one of my guilty pleasers (there are many, unfortunately) is america's next top model. new season starts tonight. i'm kind of worried that i won't stay awake for it. mom, don't read this next part. my microwave is broken, and i don't feel like cooking, so i think dinner tonight will be reduced-fat wheat thins and perhaps a peanut butter sandwich. MOM YOU CAN READ NOW. i made instant pudding sunday night, and when i went to eat it today, i discovered that it was fozen. despair!!! i have to buy a new microwave sometime soon. i could cook everything on the stove or in the oven, but that's just way too much work.

open house is tomorrow. i'm terrified. if i'm lucky, i won't actually see many of the parents, which will be nice.

i found out on monday that i'm going to get a new class next week. in nevada, they do this thing called levelling, which means that about the third or fourth week of school, once everyone's schedule is mostly set, they look to see which classes are too full or too small and then combine the small ones and create new sections of the too big ones. my two remedial senior classes are both pretty small, so they're gonna combine them, and then i'll get another class. which is cool. here's the down side: the new class is a whole new course. i'm not getting another section of american lit, i'm getting a new class of modern lit. the teacher who has modern lit is going to get a section of honors freshmen, and i'm going to get her modern lit class. which means that i'll now have three classes to prepare for each week, instead of two. one more prep doesn't sound like a lot, but the modern lit class is pretty much all novels, so i'll have a lot of work to do. please start sympathizing now.

today i got a new student who was wearing a pink sweatsuit (that's right friends, a matching sweatshirt and sweatpants, in september, in the desert - the high was about 90 today) with the sweatpants tucked into two pair of slouch socks. one pair was pink, one was white and they were in the opposite order on each leg. THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!!!!!!!! these children need to learn from my prepubescent fashion mistakes!

the other day i saw a girl wearing a shirt that said, "g is for gangsta." she was not gangsta. she was failry average, white, with blonde hair that had been pulled back into a ponytail while still wet. NOT GANGSTA. i really wanted to just tell her to stop.

here is a list of the sexiest moments in film:
1. movie: the lord of the rings, the two towers. the part when viggo mortensen (aragorn) comes into helms deep after they all think he's dead and his hair is all wet and dirty and he comes into the hall and his head is down.... yum.
2. movie: fight club. pretty much all of it, but especially the part when he comes to the bedroom door while having sex with helena bonham carter and he's all ripped...
3. movie: desperado. when salma hayek is trying to get him to "get nasty" with her and he resists for a moment and then kind of nods and says, "mhmm" and they, um, play a rousing game of gin rummy or something.
4. movie: ned kelly. when orlando bloom follows the banker's wife into her boudoir and she says she's heard rumors about him and all his women and he replies that they were just friends and she asks something about if they were ALL friends and he says, "i have a lot of friends,"or something like that...
5. movie: pirates of the caribbean. when johnny depp and orlando bloom are stealing the ship and orlando bloom notices that the redcoats are following them and johnny depp gives that little half smile.
6. movie: pride and prejudice. when colin firth gets out of the pond at his house and his shirt is all wet and sticking to him.
7. movie: love actually. when andrew lincoln (the guy that's in love with keira knightly) knocks on her door and holds up all those signs talking about how he loves her but he's okay and one of the signs says, "to me, you are perfect." *sigh*
8. movie: any one that heath ledger is in. pretty much whenever he smiles that cocky, crooked, "aren't i cute in my noncaring way?" smile.
9. movie: the fast and the furious. when vin diesel and michelle rodriguez are, um, "being intimate" in the garage while the fbi are arresting the chinese guys and he grabs her by the "backside" and picks her up and walks across the garage. anyone who has lived with me has probably seen that part more than once.
10. movie: gladiator. when russel crowe meets joaquim phoenix for the first time as a gladiator and he gives the whole spiel about "father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and i will have my revenge, in this life or the next."
11. movie: transporter (which i'm currently watching. it ranks over america's next top model). whever jason statham smiles. it's not really all that frequent. (for those of you following along at home, jason statham is the guy that plays handsome rob in the italian job. the new one.)

that's all i can think of right now. by brain is tired. if you have one you'd like to add, let me know. that dinner of wheat thins really wore me out. :) hope this is funny... (i don't think it is though)
