Lady Gaga

So everyone already knows how obsessed I am with this song, since like Christmas:



So this is the conversation I just had with my mothing:

me: (listening to bad romance)
mothing: (♫ i want your loving.....♫)
me: o_O ????????
mothing: (walks away)
me: scoop, hold on i gotta check this out; mothing? how do you know lady gaga????
mothing: who is lady gaga?
me: you were just singing her!!!
mothing: maybe because I listen to 70's and 80's music?
me: baHAHAHAHAHAHaaaaaa, what? no! (walk away)

Call break it off.

I walked outside and this is what I discovered!


And somehow I found this in my things that came back from Davis, and since you can't buy these anywhere in Alturas, I found it amazing and special.


It's not blue ribbon for nothing.


It has been storming here lately, and one afternoon when I was working in Cedarville, I walked outside to "smoke" and this is what I saw. I don't know why but seriously, every time I sit out on this patio, I see the best views. I really love this field and the mountains and the sky is ALWAYS amazing. Plus, there is a lake with an ice chest full of beer and some fish to be caught out there(!) with a camp fire and camping to be done, but only with the honorary passing of the oyster can.

Modoc Rocks!

In class, I had my Earth Science students do a worksheet on a brochure called "Modoc Rocks!" Basically it was about all the geological hot spots in Modoc county, and since I will be here a little bit long and the weather was seemingly nice, I thought I would take a couple friends on the tour. Here is what happened. (Baby Kangaroo and Koala, both thought we would get stuck. Well, guess what, girls don't get stuck, because we aren't stupid!)


We stopped at a cemetery in Davis Creek, and I thought this tombstone was super cool with these flowers. That stop didn't last very long as it was balls cold out.


On the way to our first and second stop, we drove a long a dirt road, which turned to a muddy road, which then turned into a few feet of snow. Never having got to our first two spots (spots 2 and 3 because we actually skipped going to spot 1 - it was a resource office or something), we got out of the Jeep for a little nature time anyway. The Warner Mountains have a lot to offer.




Ash taking a picture of me taking her picture!


The view coming down the mountain was pretty sick as well.


On the way to spot 4 we saw a derailed train, that has been there for several years, but apparently it has been a long time since I have been on that highway and I thought it was the coolest thing since railed trains.


Spot 4 was Chimney rock, this picture is of the surrounding rocks.



At one time a cabin was built in to this rock, and it has all the names of the people who were traveling through at the time it was made.


Ash likes to climb.


This is a pretty sick pic, I think at least.


Sorry for the finger....but you get the point.


This was a really beautiful day!


I can't believe I was the only one without holes in my jeans. THAT never happens! I just noticed that everyone has the big hole on the left knee...that is totally the same in all my holey jeans! Weird.


I also forgot to wear my boots. I suck at this trip.


We found a bridge.


I just find this hilarious! Hahahaha, good one.

Then what happened to us, was a series of unfortunate events, like we ran into more snow and weren't able to get to like 7/10 places on the tour. Although, we didn't get to see the sites on the tour, we still saw a lot of cool things. Also, we made it out without injury and WE DIDN'T GET STUCK! Yay, us. But I guess it was a nice car ride, good thing my mom had tissue in the Jeep, because we had to pee in the woods several times. At least I got an ice cream!

When we got home Ash got a tattoo!!!!

I feel like if we go on this tour again when there is no snow and the roads are accessible, I will write more about how each spot was formed and crap like that so I feel like a real teacher. For being a teacher, I mostly just feel like I am the one that is learning. Perhaps if you view yourself as student of life, you will always have something to gain, and the more you experience the more you can teach.

Slacker McSlackson

So, as you might have noticed I have been slacking a lot on my blogging. I blame it on traveling, work, not sitting in front of the computer, and also that I have not had my laptop in a long time. Well, guess what ladies and gentlemen, I now have my computer back and I intend to make use of it. Starting tomorrow I am hoping to be back at my normal 3-4 blogs per week and also take you through the glorious process of moving/finding a job all while still maintaining the crazy things I do in the mean time. As for right now I am drawing and listening to records, so expect tomorrow's blog to be full of all things good and rocky! (Foreshadow, hint, hint, foreshadow...) Oh, and I am trying to convince my students to make a music video, so if you have a song suggestion, let's hear it!

P.S. A woman over the age of 60 called me "lady," I could be here granddaughter! LADY YOURSELF GRANDMA! Or if you must call me lady, at least call me "Lady Rara."

P.S.S. THERE WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING!!!! NOT LIKE A LITTLE LIKE OVER AN INCH....WTF IT"S MAY!

Sick of Sarah

Basically,  I went to a concert when I was in Davis for Picnic Day. Here is the downlow. The band is sick, Jelly had a good time, until pukage, and I shouldn't have been driving! Now here are a couple pics...


The band doing their thing; rockin' out!



Apparently, we were standing in a corner, but it was super close to stage. I had a blast.

Now on to Picnic Day, I won't have pictures for a few more days because I didn't take any with my camera. I guess, according to police reports, hella shit went down this picnic day and now they are thinking about canceling it. WTF?! That gets a double WTF?! Are you kidding me, Picnic Day is the only reason to attend UCD! WTF ever. I am so over Davis if this happens. More to come.

Birthday

Check out the facebook to see all the pictures, I broke down and uploaded them to facebook even though I hate doing that because then I feel like I can't blog about them because it takes away the specialness of it all. I was a little shocked that I didnt take pictures of the food that we made during the week or all the sushi that I ate because let me tell you that was a lot of sushi! And I plan on eatting more when I go back this weekend for picnic day. Picnic day pictures will be blogged about first then after a week or so added to facebook in order to maintain the blog traffic!

Puppy brought another bird into the house last night at 4am!!!! I was pissed stupid thing killed the damn bird right in front of the monitor and now there are blood stains all over the floor. Good thing mothing woke up too. Although I don't see how you could sleep though the noise of a dying bird, it is not for the faint hearted! Hopefully have more to blog about tomorrow or next week, we will see how busy I am. Travelling definitely takes away from the blog time. But then again so does this job.

P.S. My students rule!!!
