To The Man Who Invited Me To A Speed Dating Event

Thanks, but I'm much more interested in slow dating you.

Advice to technology

Things Google Maps should be able to do:

Measure the as-the-crow-flies distance between two points

Things Gmail chat should be able to do:

Allow invisible users to choose select people who will be able to see them when they are invisible (and the fact that they are invisible)

Yes?

**update: I went to maps.google.com and checked out their labs. And yes, there is a feature that allows you to measure the distance between two points. That's better.

Summer's on my mind

Assuming I have the money, here are the cities I'd like to see in "Celebrate: You Escaped the Crucible of Your Afflictions," premiering in my life in Summer 2011.

Napoli, Italy (to see friends)

Crema, Italy (my old haunts)

Marseille, France (to see family)

Oslo/Bergen, Norway (to meet extended family)

Tangier, Morocco

Istanbul, Turkey

Budapest/Prague

A Glimpse of my Friday: Someone Else's Images; My Speech Bubbles.

Nilsen's Law: If you never got called to the principal's office as a student, you will get called down regularly as a teacher.

I jump in it

So funny. The way he says "package." Then "I jump in it." :)

Teacher's got homework

Yes, I know what these mean and can use them in a sentence. Most of them. Holla!

My habitat

(What is happening with BYU football?)

My new apartment building is right on the water. It's got a pretty good view, including these things: 

palm trees (26)

apartment buildings (2)

parking lot (3) 

stop signs (2)

cruise ships (2)

cargo cranes for getting shipping containers off of boats (7)

Biscayne Bay (1)

the edge of downtown (1)

the occasional sailboat (1) 

Rueda de casino (Cuban salsa)

This is the style of dance lessons I take every Friday night. I am getting addicted. I was so happy after I left yesterday and it's all I want to do tonight (no such luck).

The video is just a few steps above the skill level I am in, but I feel like our classes are more energetic.

Jeremia: Fazanna, I like you!

Me: awww, I like you too!!

(He usually takes a while to warm up to me. He must be growing up.)

Jeremia: Fazanna, what are you doing?  

Me: Driving home from a meeting where I learned how to be a better teacher.

Jeremia: You're a better teacher!?!!

Me: Yeah. 

Jeremia: YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! 

ISO VSWFM

Netflix has created a category of movies for me based on my preferences: Visually-striking Witty Foreign Movies.

I think this also describes my taste in men.

Hahahahahhaaaaa.

Super excited about this
