donderdag 24 februari 2011

donderdag 24 februari 2011 Up with alarm. Check out the window. No snow for me. According to KOMO News. Seattle and Bremerton go snowless (practically). Check STATUS FHCRC - Delayed opening: 10:00. Report - Snow Buries Parts Of Region, Leaves Rest Unscathed. Check CNN for news about Libya. Report - Gadhafi Blames Bin Laden For Inciting Youth Violence. A young man - with fierce pride - displays the new Libya flag.


Egg salad on toast for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Steph chats with The Rude Pundit about the Madison protests, Gov. Walker, and Presidents’ Day. The Rude post - Note to Republican Governors: Pissing Off the Unions Is Never a Good Idea. Walk up Terry to work. It's a little thrill to dash across Denny to Terry. Oh! There's some snow on the playground.

Full schedule - 10: Cover for Anne's Parent/Teacher conference. Sabrina subs for Pam. She breaks out the shaving cream. The 6 Sea Otters get into it!

45-minute lunches again. 11 to 11:45 - Elaine's lunch. Kathy is subbing for Jessica. I do the diapers and lunch setup while Kathy reads stories. 11:45 to 12:30 - Cristin's lunch. What an intense, chaotic 45 minutes. The kids are emotional and somewhat aggressive. I have to set out 8 mats while the kids eat. Whew! It's a relief to take my own break. 12:45 to 1:30 - Anne's lunch. We have one no-napper. I take him to the Bike Room. He's rather interesting. First, he's all about balls... throwing them, chasing them and retrieving them. Even organizing them in groups of small and large. Then, he dumps the Legos and builds with the Legos. 2:15 - Back to Dolphins for Kathy's break. A couple kids wake up. Down again to the Bike Room. When Kathy comes back, I go home. Turn my radio on to The World. There's a powerful report... it is one of the most incredible reports I've ever heard on the radio. Give Michele Norris a Peabody Award. Thousands of anti-government protesters gather in the town square of Az Zawiyah, Libya. Michele speaks with a 58-year-old businessman who is in the town square as guns are firing and explosions go off. It drives me to tears. Report - Militias In Libya Attack Protesters. Al Jazeera, citing witnesses, said 100 people were killed in the clashes between the protesters and the Kadafi forces. It's snows a little while I'm walking. I do a circle eight around d'town to walk off my grief about that violence in Libya. Back at my place to watch KOMO News. Big news for Seattle - Boeing Wins $35 Billion Air Force Refueling Contract.

"The Menagerie" won a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation. On stardate 3012.4, the USS Enterprise diverts to Starbase 11.

Then we flashback to The Cage during Spock's court martial. It's weird to see Spock smile this big. Maybe the Humming Plants are ticklish for Vulcans. It's difficult to reconcile with canon in many instances. For example, Spock smiles and uses several Human expressions such as "buzzing about down there", which he seldom did in subsequent episodes and films.

Jim is not very happy with Spock. Spock refuses to release control of the ship, and Kirk looses command because they're on course to the forbidden planet - Talos IV.

One of my favorite scenes is where crew tries to rescue Pike with their most powerful phaser. It sounds like it's driven with a warp engine.
