Inside My Head show number eighty one.

No. Just no.
Things are not going my way, and that includes my allergies.

Wondering how this year’s “Quest for a Shamrock Shake” went? Shawno and I recorded our yearly trek to McDonalds, and I included it in today’s show. You get to come along with us, and see if we did, in fact, manage to obtain the highly coveted Shamrock Shake.

Today’s haiku of frustration is called : “Pollen Count”.

This haiku is part of my contributions to the Envisage 365 blog. The blog started in September of 2007, and there were fifty women from all over the world involved. Each of us submitted one photo each day, and we will continue to do so until the year is over. We are more than halfway through now. If you like looking at photos, you may want to go over there and click around. All my photos have an exclusive haiku attached to them, that you won’t have read anywhere else.

Music in today’s show by:
* Trey Green, with a song called “My Fantastic Ass”. Couldn’t say no to the guy with the Fantastic Ass song!

* Jonathan Coulton, with a song called, “Take Care Of Me”. I’m always impressed by the work of Jonathan Coulton.

Normally, I do not include videos of songs that are made by fans, but, I am fairly certain that Jonathan Coulton allows his fans to use his music for videos they create. I found this wonderful video for the song “Take Care of Me”, by Jonathan Coulton, that some brilliant person put together with scenes from the TV show “House”. Unfortunately, the creator of the video has disallowed embedding, so, you will just have to go here to check it out. It’s worth it, especially if you are a fan of House.

Ok, that’s all I got for now. “Have a great day, or not. The choice is up to you!” (This phrase is announced daily at the school I work in).

When I got the interview for the job I have now, I was told something ominous. “These kids get violent, and you will learn holds”. Holds? Well, three months later, I have learned holds. I went to a two day training this week to learn the holds, and you can hear all about how that went.
