3. always a use - madeleine peyroux

4. folk version of a colombian vallenato hit - esta vida

5. cheese factory: your body is a wonderland by none other than my dancing partner john mayer

6.rounded off with some offensive song by tenacious d, erin as jackblack and nick as kyle. awesome!

here is a cute picture from lunch two weekends ago.

Maybe ain't no use in sayin' what I want it to be (D, G)

Maybe ain't no use in playin' a tune (D, A)

Maybe ain't no use in singin' my blues (D, G)

But there's always a use in you and me (D, A, D)

Maybe ain't no use in watchin' through the window (same)

As the towns and our lives roll on by

Maybe it ain't worth all the trouble in thinkin'

But there's always use in you and I

We can make it true (G)

We can work on it too (G7)

We can be what we want it to be (D)

We can be together (G)

As two or as three (G7)

'cause there's always use in you and me (E, A)

Maybe ain't no use in sayin' what I want it to be (same)

Maybe ain't no use in playin' a tune

Maybe ain't no use in singin' my blues

But there's always a use in you and me

We can make it true (same)

We can work on it too

We can be what we want it to be

We can be together

As two or as three

'cause there's always use in you and me

Maybe ain't no use in watchin' through the window (same)

As the towns and our lives roll on by

Maybe it ain't worth all the trouble in thinkin'

But there's always use in you and I.

everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you.

anecdote from a monday afternoon.

while camly discussing important themes in cell division with my grade 9 students around 3pm, some students who were haphazardly outside ( possibly having class, possibly not... ) began to yell earthquake. earthquake. earthquake. my kids peered out the door to grade 10 students falling all over the place, and what ensued might have been the funniest thing that has happened so far this week. desk shaking, holding on to one another, cries of fear, hiding under any reinforced structure imaginable (desk, doorway, chair, friend, teacher), one student standing on a desk yelling teerrreeeemmotoo. and then silence. no one moved. and then the laugher began and it didn´t really stop until 3.20.

because throughout this whole mess their hadn´t even been one slight vibration of the earth. terremoto, my bum.
