zaterdag 29 augustus 2009 Up at 1:25. Restless. Play Mr. Show Disc 2. Switch to BBC News. Interesting report - Wind Power Of Samso, Denmark. The New Yorker also has an article - The Island In The Wind. The Danish island of Samso has completely eliminated dependence on fossil fuels. Many Danes are joining wind combines cooperatives. Wind power in Denmark is remarkable. Copenhagen is hosting the United Nations Climate Conference. It is amazing to watch the Funeral Mass of Ted Kennedy. It's raining in Boston as in Seattle. We're sister cities. When I lived in Canada, I went to many masses. Even when I lived in Vermilion, Ohio... I would go to mass there. I loved their church. So, I felt familiar with the liturgy. I can't believe that I watched 3 hours of Ted Kennedy's funeral. Ted Kennedy was amazing... to be sure. But I listened to his grandsons talking about equal rights and gay rights during the intersession. How extraordinary! I cried a little. Good bye, Ted Kennedy.
Family members read Prayers of the Faithful at Ted Kennedy's funeral. God bless the children.
May Flights Of Angels Sing Thee To Thy Rest

Comedian Hal Sparks joins us in studio at 8:05am Pacific for another edition of “Humpdays with Hal.” Hal and Steph mercilessly mocks a Screechy Woman At McCain's Town Hall in Sun City. "No Compromises! Nuke it now!"
She sounds like The Wicked Witch Of The West. "Oh, what a world!"
Up to QFC to get a few things. Drop off stuff. Walk up Westlake to work. 10 to 11:30 - Kitchen help. It always hurts my back to wash the dishes. Preparing the 5:30 snack is easy. Need some fresh air.

Fall back into a light sleep. Up with alarm. Tofu fried rice with pico beef and refried black beans. Yum. Check the news. 150-200 More US Banks Failures Expected In 2009. Wow! That's... troubling. Switch to Stephanie Miller. They talk about the serious issues - the torture tools, health care and town halls... But what about Bacon Vodka! You learn something new every day.
Hmmm... Bacon! That actually sounds fun. Still listening to KUOW, I hear about a town hall meeting with Sen. Colburn (R) of Oklahoma. This is pathetic and sad. Sen Colburn Tells Woman Crying Over Health Care "Gov't Is Not The Answer"
Mary Dejevsky asks, "How can it be that so obvious a social good as universal health insurance, so humane a solution to common vulnerability, is not sewn deep into the fabric of the United States?" Is it just because we're - Americans - mean? A Mean Streak In The US Mainstream. The US tolerates more inequality, deprivation and suffering than is acceptable here - in the UK. Thanks, Thom Hartmann. I'm glad that you make me read The Independent. Walk up to 9th and Westlake to catch the streetcar to work. 10 to 12 - Planning time for Kris. 6 Seahorses do free play. Olivia sounds tired. She sits in the rocker and yawns a lot. I do bubbles, read lots of books, get some puzzles out and talk a lot with the kids (in French for my French friends). Heather does lunch prep and my break. Snack on TGIF Potato Skins. 12 - Anne's lunch. 5 Starfish nap. With a long, low voice, I tell Ben, "Sleeeeep. Sleeeeep." And he goes to sleep.

Kenn made a bunch of Gak, too. 1 - Kenn's lunch. Bella wakes up early. We go out to the playground. Patty brings Wyatt and Alex outside, too. 2 - Olivia's lunch. I bring Bella back to her group. A lot of Seahorses are playing in the loft. Kris does a lot of diapers while I keep the group occupied (and safe). 3 - I bring Catherine's water bottle back to her. 3 - Walk straight home. Change clothes. Short walk up First Hill to the Tuscany Apartments. Back down Spring Street and thru Freeway Park to my place. Check e-mail. Kamen has some great photos of his vacation in Provincetown, MA.
Now, this is what I call Provincialism, MA. Rice and orange chicken for dinner. Watch Star Trek - Return To Tomorrow.

maandag 24 augustus 2009 Up at 1:20. Watch movie - Bubble Boy. It's a movie with a rather hectic pace... not helpful for letting me go back to sleep. I watch the whole thing. In the end, Jimmy finally gets Chloe, and they all live happily ever after. All's well that ends well. How did he lose his pants?
Turn on KUOW to listen to BBC News. I hear (again) report about prisoners in California to be released. California Jail Release Vote Due. Also - Fires NE Of Athens. I manage to doze back to sleep.

Oops. Bella wakes up screaming. Some crying next door upsets her, I guess. 1 - Olivia's lunch. 5 Seahorses are napping. Eventually, Maya and Audrey wake up. I take them out to the playground. Bella is still crying. It's amazing that the kids can sleep through that noise. 2 - Patty's lunch. She has only Alex. We go out to the playground. It's warm and sunny. 3 - Streetcar to d'town. At home, I change my clothes. Take a walk down 5th Ave. to Uwajimaya to get some food - Kimbo Thai tea! #41 bus tunnel back to my place. Turn on Ron Reagan.

zondag 23 augustus 2009 Up at 4:30. Play movie - Futurama: Bender's Big Score. The code for paradox-correcting time travel - 001100010010011110100001101101110011.
Try it.
Nibbler explains that using the code could destroy the universe. Me! I love Torgo's Executive Powder. It's said to have "a million and one uses" and consists of ground-up executives, including those of the film's thinly veiled Fox Network parody (the Box Network), and makes repeated appearances on Futurama due to its miraculous utility in such diverse tasks as seasoning, surgery, delousing, feeding heads in jars, cosmetics, bomb disposal, artillery, and the care of head transplant patients. I have this very uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. I can't rest or go back to sleep. Eventually, I get sick... violently ill. Ew! I just drink some iced water. Turn on Mind Over Matters. Listen to yesterday's Eat The State about the primary results. Listen to Peter Dale Scott "America's Afghanistan: The National Security and a Heroin-Ravaged State." I also like the talk by economist and historian Dr. Michael Hudson... Recovering from Neoliberal Disaster: Why Iceland and Latvia Wont (and Cant). My stomach cramps abate. Turn on A Prairie Home Companion. I feel a little jittery. But I manage to walk up Whole Foods - Salad bar, pico beef, rice noodles and Rosso Di Enzo - $9.98. Drop off stuff at home. Play some another Weird Science - Strange Daze. Lisa zaps up a transformed Farber High with a Star Trek style. Of course, the boys get in trouble again. They have adolescent harmones. The Hormone Control Police chase them through the hallways clad into only white towels wrapped around their waists.
Take La Vie En Rose back to the library. Au revoir, Édith Piaf. Walk up 4th. It's a nice day. Cool. A little breeze off the waterfront. Listen to A Splendid Table and Tavis Smiley. Rice noodles and pico beef for dinner. Watch movie - Soylent Green. It's the year 2022... 13 years to go, people!

zondag 16 augustus 2009 Awake at 3:30 am. Toss and turn a little while. Pop in video - Star Wars: The New Hope. I love the scene where Luke watches the two suns set... contemplating things to come.
I think that I fall back to sleep when the Falcon journeys to the Rebel base at Yavin IV where the Death Star plans are analyzed by the Rebels. The bright blue sky wakes me back up at 8:30. Turn on NPR News. Report - Teach Naked: Dean Urges Tech-Free Classes. Toast and Cheddar Cheese Omelet for breakfast. Listen to A Prairie Home Companion - THE POETS, THE DREAMERS AND YOU. The show is cobbled together as an ode to poets. Cool! I'm a Weird Science junkie! I get back to the series - Gary Wallace: Boy Reporter. Chett makes a great Yeti! At the end of the story, Chett winds up naked, dazed, and says, "I have no idea how I got here. That's the third time this month." Then it's Hot Wheels. I love how the car takes the boys for a ride in the sky.
Then we have Bikini Camp Slasher where Lisa thinks it would be lots of fun if they all were zapped into a slasher movie. Their VHS is getting erased... That's the real horror.
Walk around Freeway Park. The sky is crystal blue. Glorious! Get some stuff at M Street Grocery. Back at my place. Listen to A Splendid Table. Watch movie - Dude, Where's My Car? Poor Jesse. He awakes up with a hangover and no memory.
Who's got the "Continuum Transfunctioner"?
Hal Sparks is Zoltan!
Seafood salad and spaghetti for dinner.

zaterdag 15 augustus 2009 Up at 6:30. Not hungry. Just a little Thai tea for breakfast. My back hurts and I have cramps in my legs. Nice hot bath to work out the kinks. Listen to KBCS - playing an eclectic blend of traditional folk music. Switch to KUOW to hear Wait, Wait! They make light of the health care meeting... I'm glad that they make me laugh. #49 up to Capitol Hill. Meander down Federal and 11th and down Pike to my place. Drink a little OJ. Down to Westlake Station. Catch a train to Columbia City. Rainier Ave. is busy with brunchers. Walk down Ferdinand to admire the houses. Walk over to Alaska down to Lake Washington.
I find a bench to rest my feet.
What does the little plaque say?
"Gaze out and find peace." Good idea.
On my way back, I visit Lakewood Playground. Train back to d'town. Whew! I'm tired. All that walking. Listen to Rick Steves. He talks about Budapest with a couple guests. After Rick Steves, I watch Weird Science - Camp Wannabe and Circuit Courtship. Lisa creates Gary and Wyatt a supercomputer named Hank that anticipates their every need. After Hank falls for Lisa, he decides to eliminate the competition, Gary and Wyatt.
Then Chett Reborn and Unplugged. I love this one. Gary and Wyatt want to become rock stars. As the group MegaHertz, they rocket to stardom and crash and burn within a week. Wyatt looks great in leather!
Next - Earth Boys Are Easy then Horseradish. Skip to Lucky Suit. Rice and turkey sausage for dinner. Watch Beastmaster.
