July is nearing warp speed for the Evanskeys. I just caught my breath and realized the month is half over (or only halfway begun) and I have posted not one single thing. Well shame on me. Get ready to pause that DVR cause I’m hold down the fast-forward […]
Tuesday was my last day in English at Long Beach City and I wrapped it up by turning in a 5 page essay on the illusions of the American Dream as portrayed in the novel The Tortilla Curtain by T.C. Boyle. A frustratingly and sometimes agitating effort but overall a good portrayal of these very […]
So last week J’s class had their Nature Center Field Trip hike and I got wrangled into volunteering in keeping the little munchkins somewhat organized, constantly moving forward, and otherwise out of trouble. It was a blast. The kids were led through a “backstage” area or off-trail area of the Nature Center and were able […]
So tomorrow is a big day for my programming class. I am presenting with my teammates our first person shooter game that we just finished up this week. This is a huge step from the last 2D game I did and you might see that by the screen shots I have uploaded down below. This […]
So, Mr. J is definitely utilizing his time as a kinder to get the most done in life besides playing outside, watching TV, and video games. He is now booked on Tuesdays with soccer, Wednesdays with Kidnastics, and then takes an extra class after school on Fridays in Español. He’s starting to make my schedule […]
Well Jaden has been doing pretty darn good at school and while he was visiting with grandma over the spring break Karen and I decided to do the big rewards thing for him. Today after I picked him up and we got home we presented him with his very own snowboard and equipment. We were […]
Well the week before spring break certainly has been a tough one and it isn’t even over yet. This week our water heater went out on Sunday and we didn’t get the repairman and the replacement part out until Wednesday! Apparently, the company that makes our water heater is in a class action lawsuit because […]
Jaden’s school does a project for the 100th day and his class had poster boards that needed 100 items divided up into pieces of 10. So, being so close to Valentine’s Day we chose to use candy hearts as his 100 items and here is the finished product.
Hello People,
You may (or may not) be asking yourselves “Why has Scott been all ghosty-like from his Web site lately?” Well the sad, simple truth is school has been hell… well not school itself but rather the admissions and registrations side of it. Yes Matt Groeing’s early work “School is Hell” rings so true to […]
This week was pretty jam-packed for the Evanskeys. I was able to finish off my DVD project for my grandmother and presented it after Thanksgiving dinner at my Uncle John’s pad. So with that out of the way school was still on for me Wednesday and Saturday which made things a little stressful in that […]
Cell phone talkers get a bad rap although I believe in most cases they are justifiably deserved, especially you textaholics out there! But my latest run in with these low-lives happened at my school.
Interior - College Administration Office
Slacker dude hears a distinctive ring coming from his pocket and motions to answer it. He then proceeds […]
…watching:
Reaper, Weeds, Californication (Season 1 just ended), Dexter (absolutely the best show on television), Desperate Housewives, The Office, Scrubs, and currently burning through the 5th season of Buffy with Karen. Getting her up to speed on all things Buffy/Angel has been a blast and not once have I felt bored or distracted, which goes to […]
One of the two sessions we attended last night at Science Night was squid dissection. Don’t ask me how it all happened but somehow we were whirlwinded into a classroom and given forceps and scissors and a tray with a dead squid! But there was Jaden and mom being troopers about it and dug in […]
Tonight is Science Night at Jaden’s school where we will be learning about sea creatures and the ocean. I think I’d rather be learning about that than my network connectivity class. Ocean equals fun!
My school situation has been a little wacky and hectic this week. First, my design class was canceled and moved to a […]
