April is the cruellest month. Well, right now it just seems damn hot. Another week comes and goes. Interesting, to be sure. I went on Wednesday to Blair High School to get information on their IB program(me). My principal wants to get one off the ground at our school and having done the IB diploma, I'm a likely candidate to help out. This may mean a trip to Lake Tahoe in June, but that doesn't sound so bad, not, does it. Let's see, what else. The Weepies have a new album out this week that I was slightly disappointed by. Say I Am You was probably my favorite release of '06. Been waiting for this one for a while. Had diversity integration training or whatever it's called on Tuesday. Went to Blair on Wednesday, the principal who called himself the "prince of pow" and could sell ice to eskimos (based on first impressions), let's say he had the "gift of gab" a la Don King, and looked dangerously like Keenan Wynn, which is only funny if you know who that is. Ahem. Anyway, then scrambled to school for periods 3 and 5. Raucous crowd these days. Bought a copy of Juno as well. Ah, capitalism. Consumption is salvation. Things for a novel rounding into some kind of shape. I predict a three year process trying to write this novel, although I should probably round it down for motivation's sake. Still reading Golden Compass from the Dark Materials trilogy. Interesting counterpoint to Lewis and, to some extent, Rowling. Went to the LA Times festival of books, about which more will be written tomorrow.
