My facebook account has been deactivated….by me….voluntarily.
I found I was being way too unproductive by reading statuses of “friends” and updates of groups that I really didn’t care all that much about. I think it’ll be good for me in the long term, but will be hard to not ‘login’ again – because that’s all you have to do in order to reactivate your account – login to facebook as normal. They should make it more difficult.
We checked out Summer Invasion on Friday and had a good time watching Mariana’s Trench, Down with Webster and Stereos. This was my first time and didn’t realize that it was an all-ages event. I guess I have to get used to running into students everywhere I go now. There I was, covering up my beer can with one hand and waving to students with the other. I guess it’s not a bad thing that they know I drink alcohol (OMG!) but it just feels awkward, you know?
Yesterday was spent checking out Motif in Moose Jaw. This was an awesome event – it’s similar to FolkFest in Saskatoon or Mosaic in Regina but on a much smaller scale. They had food/drink booths from various nations and a performance stage with dance groups and other entertainers – like that dude from the Caribbean pavilion who eats fire. Strangely, he also holds the fire for a long time on various parts of his body….and it doesn’t seem to bother him at all. Not sure.
My cousin let me borrow “To Kill a Mockingbird” since I didn’t read it in high school and now want to. I think it may be an option for my Grade 11 English class….and I’ve heard nothing but good things. I think I’m the only person in Canada who hasn’t read it yet. What are some other good novels for any of my English classes? The list of classes I’m teaching is in my last post…
Cheers to No More Facebook! I already feel liberated. Or it may still be psychological at this point.
song for this post: “You and I Both” Jason Mraz. A feelin’-good summertime song.
