[Stingy Jack]

Yes, I was here ... but apparently my ninja tactics were failing me. I was spotted.

I finally got a chance to take some leisure time and browse about at HDC last night. Our school has been undergoing a new, rigid teacher evaluation program, and all of my time (not spent preparing lesson plans and playing PS2) has been spent putting together my portfolio, boning up on my theory for interviews, and whipping my kids into shape for observations.

But, its all over now. Time to breathe a sigh of relief ::quief!:: oops. Not much of a sigh, there.

How has everyone been? Any new developments here, or should I just read the countless posts and put the pieces together myself?

And what's with the onslaught of crappy horror movies hitting the big screen lately? I have probably seen more "Direct to Video" worthy flicks in the theatre than I have on the rental shelves in the past month. (Speaking of which, a horror-version of "Little Red Riding Hood" will be coming to a Blockbuster near you on Tuesday.)

Are Vod and ShankS still around? I saw last night that Vod had posted a new story in the fiction section, but that was a month ago. I should really go and check that out.

What's up with everyone else? Fluffho, Vampenguin, massacreman, Nine9, and ... dare I ask ... Wufong (sorry if I left anyone out ... forgot some people, I know, because I can't remember their names)? Are they all still here? I really had a blast during that 6-month stretch in which I was a reg, and would like to chat with some those folks again.
