Check out my latest trick!

It's a crocheted iPod/tech/phone cozy. Worked it up last night while watching October Road. I'm actually pretty proud of it since I JUST relearned how to do it last week. E is a good teacher!

I think my new favorite seaming method might be crocheting instead of sewing. I still haven't mastered the whole sewing by hand thing to my satisfaction. I'll DO it, but I don't LIKE it.

I'm wondering how many of you watched "High School Confidential" last night. I had planned to, but I was caught up in "October Road." I've already set the DVR to catch the rerun of last night's show, so that I can watch the rest.

It takes place in the school that is just about a half-mile from our apartment. It's the same district in which I teach, but not our building.

I heard complaints today from a few students who watched it. The biggest complaint was that in the transition scenes, the producers choose to use scenes of pastures, sunsets, cows and wheat fields. All beautiful, I'm sure, but I can assure I see none of those things on my way to and from work each day as I pass "Northwest" High School.

Do people think that viewers will "forget" that a show takes place in Kansas if they don't show farm scenes? Come on. The sad thing is that the woman who produced the documentary is from this area - her daughter attended the school. It's not like it's a big city West Coaster who came in to shoot the thing.

Grrr.

I suppose I'll reserve future judgment until I see it for myself.
