Ahem...I love being right...

Did I not say, AGES ago, that Vaux was a great band? Again I find myself ahead of the curve. If you didn't listen to me then and I haven't foisted their music upon you, you can now go download their single "Are You With Me" for FREE on iTunes. Yes, you heard me right, it is the free download of the week. Go get it! (You can thank me later;)

So, it's been a busy week. Stratford was great, I absolutely love it there and it was so fun to go with Wife, who had never been there before. We saw Much Ado About Nothing and Twelfth Night, wandered around town (in the rain, ugh), visited the costume warehouse and such. Very relaxing overall. Saturday night Husband, Wife and I went to this great little bar in Stratford called Down the Street. It's ridiculously cute and swank without being pretentious and it actually reminds me a bit of the Alley Bar, only nicer. We actually made plans for the party after the Pink is the New Party party, but I'm not spilling the beans on that one yet:) Yes, you'll have to dress up, but it's gonna be SO fun:) The only bad part of the weekend was waiting to get through customs when we were coming home. It took an hour and a half to get through the border, but what can you do? Nothing, so there was no point in getting all irritated about it. C'est la vie.

This week has been all about meetings at school and getting my classroom together. I love my department head so far, she's been really great to me and ridiculously helpful. I think we're going to get along very well. It is a little weird being colleagues with teachers that were my teahcers when I was in high school, but everyone seems very excited that I'll be on staff which is really nice. I know I'll be horribly nervous on the first day of school, but I think it'll all be ok.

Well, I've still got a zillion things to do and 15 album reviews waiting for me, so, off I go.
Ciao!
