Who nose?

I know its highly frown upon to make English puns out of ASL such as signing "who" but instead of by the mouth, you do it on the nose. So it sounds and looks like "who nose/knows?" Been missing my friend Handler who moved to Baltimore last year. He is always signing crazy stuff like that.

Today got me a cold that kept me in bed most of the morning but finally drag my arse to work at Media services so I could get some hours in today and work on lesson plans. I teach ASL level II tonight and am putting together some activities for review purposes.

Last night Szymanski and I worked on a decoulage (sp?) where you add layers of fine paper with special glue for items for this saturdays private event that we're hosting with two other deafies. We got over 30 sponsors for this event, whee! Friday we will be busy picking up items and preparing for the event which begins saturday evening at 5pm. I am very excited and looking forward to it. Word is starting to get out there of the event itself but I am not at liberty to discuss it on my blog :( afterwards maybe, depends on the other hostesses but no names will be used to protect the identities of the attendees.

I have learned a lot about the art of asking. It really depends on who you asked and where? The very poor areas and the very high scale areas usually said no when we went in person to ask for samples. But the average stores like Body Shop, Sephora... they all agreed and gave us samples to use in the goody bags.

Sunday I plan to do nothing except relax and watch movies all day. I know I will be wiped out by then. Luckily next week is a short week due to Thanksgiving. I am excited to see the folks back home.

Clyde is well, saw him over the weekend. I went to a mall on Sunday in Queens, the first time Ive ever touched a mall here in NYC. I will see him tonight after class too. Hes doing great, busy with his wireless business and he has been helping me out with getting supplies or deliveries for saturday night event.

Not a whole lot of exciting things to write about, basically teaching has taken over my life. So much paperwork. But I am happy to say I did some logging of footage for the 3rd movie this past weekend. I hope to on Sunday finish the logging and then like a puzzle start putting the pieces together.
