I miss biology

I helped a bat out of Mikes house yesterday.

After that, I have been really missing biology.  I've been doing a little research about bats and am finding fascinating things about them, things I already knew but had forgotten in the hubbub of life.  *Also know that you will feel a bat bite if you're bitten...it's a common misconception

"But simply seeing a bat in one's home isn't usually cause for alarm.

'People sometimes mistakenly believe you couldn't feel a bat bite,' French said.

'I've had lots of bat bites, and they hurt.  They feel like sharp needle jabs.  Any conscious adult is going to know if they're bitten.'"

I love facts.  I love knowing things.  I love learning. 

Makes me want to start discussing science news in my blogs, so maybe I'll do that.  Once a day, do a little blip about science.  That might keep me motivated to be in the loop and keeping up on my science news.  

Aside from all this, this morning the class of kids that I've been directing in Wizard of Oz performed today.  A-fricken-Dorable.  They were great.  From the classic kid-talks-to-director while the performance is going on, to the kids getting lost mid-show and turning to ask me what the next scene is.  They were wonderful.  The parents were happy.  

That's what I got.  I get to watch movies tonight.  Yay!  Hooray for nights off of work!

spammers and phishing

I got spammed/phished on facebook.  

It happens to lots of people, but it's kind of embarassing when it happens to you.  People pick on you about it, and not that I can't take some picking, but the thing of it is....it's my fault.  I didn't double check my address bar to make sure it said "www.facebook.com" and I am the one to blame.  *shakes head and looks at floor in shame.  Sorry friends, I would never EVER type like a nine year old girl that just found out what texting is.  I wouldn't want you to think that I intentionally am selling some website where you purchase the name of someone who has a crush on you.  

Apologies.

I'm over worrying about Chicago.  I mean not over over worrying about it, but as soon as all the plays were done I got crazy with worry because I found time to worry about it.  I'm over it.  I know it'll be fine, and I'll have the money by the time I go, but I don't have the money now, and THAT worries me.  But not as much as it did yesterday.  Ok.  That's all I've got today.  I'm tired and I'm going to go have dinner with my grandmother.  Have a great day.

Thanks for reading.

I'm a little wiped out.

There's been so much going on lately, what with getting done with Hamluke a few weeks ago, doing this fringe show I was in, going to see a TON of fringe this last week, planning for Chicago, working at the workshop, teaching in the mornings, AHH!  Not to mention money.  Ew.  Money.  Trying to make it, keep it, spend it wisely.  It's the stuff nightmares are made of.  I'm pretty sure every time I have that dream where I'm being chased in the dark and I don't know what is chasing me or where I'm going or how to get out of it.....it's money.  

I am going to chicago next weekend for a few days with Dave and Tyler to scope out some living arrangements.  Ought to be rock awesome.  I also need to figure out how to set up a webpage....still.  It's a lot more difficult and confusing than one might expect.  Everyone seems to have a different way of doing it, and the more you ask around, the more confusing it is.  "you could just pay $100/year and have a webpage....easy"  unless you don't have $100.  But THEN the other option is "you can have a free webpage with the url    www.lisa_!#burton_*105849@j.mac.purgebucket.netbox       and that's not very marketable.  I'll figure it out, I just need to find the time.

Today will be a day of sending and calling, of working and keeping a good attitude...perhaps I also need to bake some brownies and watch a movie.  And just relax.
