Hey, sweet! Here are some of our students drumming - they mixed it up with garageband. Keep in mind this was the first time they ever did it...nicely done...can't wait for more! Oh, and I think you can download it for your ipod as well...check it out!
I made this slideshow using Animoto. It is cool, and super easy to use...you should check it out.

Monday has come and is halfway gone...why am I so tired? I guess I had a pretty busy weekend. Friday night I actually relaxed a little - watched hockey and other random programs. On Saturday I headed down to the river hills by Glenburn park with my wife, Krista, and our dog, Kiera. We hiked up and down the hills for half a day then headed out to my brother in law's for a visit with our new niece. Sunday I did some work and then headed back out to my brother in law's to babysit. All in all a good weekend.

We just finished watching Twilight in our Grade 10 ELA class. I was not too sure what to expect as I have not yet read the book. I have heard many people talk about the movie - some liked it, some didn't. I have to say, I was overly impressed. Actually, I am not sure if I have ever seen a movie like it before. The vampires and characters in Twilight are drastically different from those in other vampire movies (e.g. they don't melt in the sun, they don't look like demons, and they are concerned with human and moral issues - well, some are). One part I found oddly intriguing was the one scene where the vampire family plays baseball - as a family! Weird. Anyway, there is a love story, some violence, some action, and a emo type feeling that gives the movie an odd twist that I have not yet encountered. It has encouraged me to read the book, actually - the entire series, and I cannot wait for the sequel.
One of the aspects of the movie that interests me so much is the soundtrack. The song below is particularly good...and I think it is actually Robert Pattison signing!!! Double weird.
