maandag 8 februari 2010

maandag 8 februari 2010 Up at 12:44. I was thinking that my clock was stuck. Anyway... Turn on BBC. Their program - Outlook - has some interesting reports. Two Views From Haiti. It's amazing that the Hotel Oloffson survived the earthquake. The hotel has quite a history. Another human interest story where dance is the weapon for one Iranian artist. Afshin Ghaffarian - Dancing In and Out Of Trouble With Iranian Authorities.

Doze back into a light sleep. Up with alarm. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Steph talks with The Rude Pundit (Lee Papa) about the Tea Party Convention and McCain’s flip-flop on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Tom Tancredo does another racist screed. Tom Tancredo to the Tea Partiers: Lack of 'civics literacy test' meant illiterates put 'a committed socialist' in White House. Cheese and veggie frittata for breakfast. Nice hot shower. Mail my Comcast bill at the d'town P.O. Walk up Westlake to work. 10 to 11 - Breaks for Kris, Olivia, Kenn and Patty. 11 to 1 - Planning time for Pam. Only 4 Dolphins today. While they play in the Bike Room, I set up the lunches and mats. Easy-going day. 1 - Kenn's lunch. The Dolphins sleep. It's unusual that Nolan wakes up first. Kenn gets him back to sleep. 2 - Patty's lunch. Alex wakes up, but Charmaine manages to get him back to sleep... after a little argument. I'm surprised. Wyatt wakes up in a good mood. Walk up Terry Ave. and over to the Convention Center to get my Monday Mondo Burrito. Catch a #49 up to Cal Anderson Park. It's sunny... a brisk 54° yet I'm wearing shorts. Back at my place. Turn on Rachel Maddow to watch Friday's show - When The Saints Come Marching In. Great coverage of high spirits in the French Quarter for the Superbowl game as well as politics and culture in New Orleans. Listen to today's podcast of The World. Report - Chinese Popular With American Students. It's fantastic how much progress these students have made. They sound quite fluent... near college level. This photo is from Medgar Evers College Preparatory School in Brooklyn, New York.

They run one of the largest Chinese language programs for students not from a Chinese background in the United States. Burrito for dinner. I'm tired. Conk out while watching Beneath The Planet Of The Apes.
