I'm totally missing the point
So lately, I've been watching clips of Godspell on YouTube. It stars Victor Garbor as Jesus and has some moments of real power, but the rest is completely silly. The main thing that I don't understand is why Jesus is portrayed as a "clown" and acts very scarecrow like? Does anyone have any insight into this? I find it completely mystifying. Is it a comment on that Jesus was seen as a clown or that no one took him seriously? It's very bizzare.

Sometimes I just need a laugh
Ya know how girls have the pants with words on their butts? Here's a case of a word that probably was not the best choice:
Today I was teaching a 3rd grade class and I looked over at this girl who was laying on the floor and I noticed that her butt said "ASSY". I began to say something to her about how inappropriate her pants were, and then she moved and I saw that there was another "S" at the beginning. I had a good laugh to myself and found that I really needed to lighten up today. Then I got to thinking, if that was my daughter, would I really want her butt to be a banner for words? It's hard enough for boys when girls aren't wearing readable clothing...why do I think about these things when I have no kids and I'm teaching 3rd graders?
Happy Friday!

Yeah, like I need one more thing to do
If you are a regular reader of my blog, you probably have heard me lament the fact that I have no creative outlet right now. To an artist, this is a very big deal...especially a 'teacher-artist' who gives of my artistry on a daily basis but has no way of recharging my soul. It is draining. You may also have read about my thoughts on a revolutionary handbell ensemble that does away with tables and incorporates movement, dance, and organic elements.
Well, hopefully I am on the road to addressing both of these issues. I am not yet at liberty to divulge any information on this new endeavor, only to say that it will be great, amazing, and creatively satisfying. So, yay for me and I'll blog more about it when the details have been solidified.
