Ghost Whisperer Randomness

So I was flipping channels tonight and happened across the intro for "The Ghost Whisperer" ... it's actually a pretty interesting intro, very similar to the intro for Desperate Housewives, but then I noticed that the style seemed very similar to that of Jerry Uelsmann's wife, Maggie Miller. So I googled it, and sure enough, "Each one of the frames in the opening titles of GHOST WHISPERER is based on an original creation of artist Maggie Taylor."

I'm kinda proud of myself for recognizing it. It's also kinda neat because she came and spoke to one of my digital art classes in undergrad and talked about putting live goldfish on her flatbed scanner and stuff (and then wondering why they died so quickly). Randomness. I wonder if Tiffany remembers... she was sitting next to me in class. Man, that was a long time ago.

Google Search revisited

So I discovered something kind of strange today. Chris was googling the name "skeene" yesterday, to see what pops up, and I noticed in my website hits that a couple of them came from people searching for "kendra coppage" ... which is me 2 1/2 years ago. So I was curious what pops up when I search for kendra coppage... and I discovered that there is actually another Kendra Coppage... she's a runner. Yep... all the pages that came up either referred to me, or to Kendra Coppage the runner. Funny. So I searched for kendra skeene, and I'm still the only one (hooray), but there were some pages that came up where there was a kendra and someone else with the last name skeene in the same document... and all of those were for marathons and other running-related things. That amuses me because I couldn't run anywhere if my life depended on it.

That's all I have to share today. I know. I'm boring. Sorry.

Teaching at STC

So I had my first day of actual teaching at Southeastern Technical College yesterday. How should I describe it? Well, exciting, exhausting, and excellent are probably the best descriptors.

I was actually there in the building from 9:30am - 10:00pm, and was on the road for 90 minutes before and 90 minutes afterwards. Plus, of the 12 hours I was there, I taught for 6 1/2 of those hours. So it was a pretty exhausting day. But everyone I work with is so nice, and helpful. And my students are all super-nice and really eager to learn... so it was really great, and a lot of fun for me. Plus I may already have a couple of extra responsibilities / extra hours to do some other stuff that sounds like fun. And a woman in one of my classes offered to see if anyone from her church would let me stay with them Tuesday nights so I don't have to stay in a hotel every week. Even if that doesn't work out, it was so nice of her to offer, and hopefully that will work out.

I've got my own office, and I've finally got a computer set up in there, so it's starting to feel like home. Over this next week they should get the projector set up in the Mac lab so I can do more teaching in there, with the beautiful G5s that are just for this program. And I'll be getting business cards printed, too. I'm, like, official or something.

So I'm just really excited about everything that's going on. I really feel like I'm right where God wants me right now, and I'm excited to see what He has in store next. It should be an interested couple of months coming up.
