Appeal to the Hive Mind, Near and Far
One of my cousin's has just finished her first year teaching middle school music and sent me the below. I told her I had no idea, but I'd ask my invisible friends. If anyone has any ideas or isights into the programs she mentions, please let me know. Thanks!
I have been trying to come up with some game plan for the summer. I have the option of returning to Camp ________ for the third summer and working from the day I'm out of school (literally) through the 2nd week of August with people I adore, working in ___________ for a month with other music teachers (not really what I want to do but more $), or finding some other job like waitressing or...scooping ice cream. The more I throw around these ideas the more I realize I really want to do something completely different... volunteer work of some sort. So I started looking online for some options and I am seriously considering working for Project Abroad, Teach America, or Starfish and either teaching English to young children, working in child care, or community outreach programs. I really need to do a lot more research but I was wondering if any of you knew anything about any of these programs/other programs, or maybe people who have done them? I could use any suggestions or advice you may have. I know some of you know people (or are people) who have done this and hated it...thats why I'm reaching out. I really think this is something I want to do and i'd appreciate any help you can give me!
For those what might be interested, in my semi-regular column over at Romancing the Blog, I wrote about Mad Men and why it works for me.

"Goodbye and Good Riddance 2008: "...and the horse you rode in on.""
Even the Slackerest Secret Santas should have e-mails from me by now, with all the giftees details.
If you have any question, problem or inquiry, please let me know.
Because not everyone goes into Boxed Set all the time, and this is just for 1 day sale:
Buffista link to the Stargate Complete Series 54-Disc DVD set on sale for $99.99 - today only - at Amazon.
Same sort of sale - but for BSG: all seasons plus Razor for $99.99.
Here it is.
The latest issue of Membra Disjecta is up. The theme is "Steampunk" or "Our Glorious Future", and we have interesting art, fiction, and poetry, including a poem by Victor Infante.
eta: next issue (March 2009) is "New Beginnings" or "Pirates vs. Ninjas". I'm hoping to get some buffista submissions for that one.
A new addition to Deena's database info (see Deena "Sunnydale Press" Dec 3, 2008 8:02:52 pm PST above) is, "Top 10 under $10 pick-me-up list (In case you need a smile, what would make you happiest? Postcards; a new pen, refrigerator magnets, a keychain?...)." I’m just sayin’, Sekrit Santas who are slacking and Slacker Santas could really use info like that.
I give up on making the link clicky
Wait, now it'd doing it? Yay!
