dinsdag 31 mei 2011 Up with alarm. It's a work day... a back-to-work-day. I'm not very psyched about the prospects of this week. Getting ready for transition. What a trial. Beans on toast for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Comedian Aisha Tyler joins the gang for the show. I love how they mock Sarah Palin's Self-Aggrandizement Bus Tour. Oops. She forgot to show up at Gettysburg. Her version of the Gettysburg Address: Four scones and seven lattes ago our fathers did something, something... Report - Palin A No-show For Fans At Civil War Battlefield. And as carbon-emissions reach their lighest levels ever in the history of the world; ironically, Sarah says I Love That Smell Of The Emissions!
Shower. Walk up Westlake to work. 10 - I'm extra for the Tree Frogs. The Starfish are on a field trip to the Seattle Center, so the Tree Frogs try out their classroom for a few minutes. They seem to like sitting at the big table and playing with the puff balls. 11 - Over to the Sea Turtles for Joyce's lunch. The kids are just coming inside from the rain. Instantly, they head for the toy selves and dump everything on the floor. I set up lunches while Tanya reads stories. 12 - Joyce is back and Tanya goes to lunch. The kids are just playing with their lunches. Diaper are early. The kids want to hear Ol' McDonald before going to nap. 1 - Cristin's lunch. The Starfish are back from their field trip and are going down for naps. They all sleep. Yay! 2 - Toni's lunch. Someone next door wakes up sad, so the kids in both rooms wake up. Amazingly, a few stay asleep. Turn on my radio to listen to The World. It's already over two months ago when a tsunami hit Northeast Japan, and people need and want to rebuild. Report - Japanese City Tries To Recover From Tsunami.
At my place, I turn on KOMO News and MSNBC. Fried rice and tofu for dinner. Watch Stargate Universe - Malice.

maandag 30 mei 2011
maandag 30 mei 2011 Fell asleep last night with SyFy playing on the TV. Awake with the Twilight Zone - The Fever at 3:30. The guy is yelling at the slot machine. Switch to BBC World. I see that it's already Noon in England. I turn on Time-And-Date to track the Local Time In Stockholm and the Local Time In Reykjavik. I imagine my friends are at the Arlanda Airport. I wonder if they ever tried the very particular smelly dish of Hákarl - "fermented shark." Switch to MSNBC. Richard Liu is mediating a debate between a couple hot-heads. I like your tie, Richard.
Black beans and spaghetti for breakfast. The birds are singing outside which seems to perk Maxine's ears up. Switch to Comedy Central for a Futurama marathon. Down to my place. Eat a big bowl of chili. Turn on BBC News. The president of Fifa gets a little testy at a news conference. Report - Sepp Blatter Denies Fifa Is In Crisis. Take my radio with me on a walk up to Denny Park. Listen to the baseball game - Baltimore Orioles At Mariners. The clouds just don't want to burn off. Will it get above 60° today? Back to #404. Watch the game on the TV in High Definition. Nice! In the 7th inning stretch, they make observances to honor US veterans for Memorial Day. The Ms win it right at 4 o'clock. Mariners hold on to win a game that became a lot closer than it should have been.
Switch to Spike TV to watch a Star Wars marathon which they seem to be running in reverse... Revenge Of The Sith to Attack Of The Clones. My friends walk into the apartment when the Travelling Incognito scene comes on. I expected Maxine to be excited to see them, but she's surprisingly nonchalant. They give me some nice treats from Sweden for cat-sitting. We remember Phoenix... She would have been very meowy for their return. We remember Phoenix.

zondag 29 mei 2011 Up at 6:04. Ah... the little drawing by Daniel. This is Mike.
Check the Food Network. What Would Brian Boitano Make?: Band Aid. He makes some fun food for a party for his nephew and his band. What a cool uncle! Southwestern Sopapillas, Italian Chicken Sliders with Tomato Jam, Chicken Fried Steak on a Stick, and Fudgey, Gooey Brownies. Not quite my diet, but still...
Spaghetti and fried tofu for breakfast. Turn on KING 5 for news, weather and sports. I guess that I missed some excitement at last night's M's game. A Streaker Run On Field During The 8th Inning. And The Mariners Take The Yankees In The 12th. Ha! CLICK to see full-size Seattle Times photo. I notice during the weather report that the temp in the bottom right corner is 83°... when it's really 52°.
Take a short walk up to B'way. It's fairly quiet this morning. The merchants are setting up the Sunday Broadway Farmers Market at SCCC. A few people (like me) are walking around Cal Anderson Park. The morning clouds are thick. Back to the apartment to play 89.3 KPCC - Wait, Wait and A Prairie Home Companion. Watch movie - Jumper. As a Virtual Traveler myself, I like seeing lots of juicy images of Rome, Tokyo, New York and other splendid places. The premise is based on a universal childhood escape fantasy: What if you could instantly transport yourself anywhere? Turn on the radio to listen to the 9th inning of the Yankees vs. Mariners game. It looks like the Mariners will not be able to win this one. Yankees Avoid Sweep With 7 to 1 Victory Over Mariners. Spicy rice and tofu for dinner. Walk down to the Pike Market. I don't see any Yankee fans.
Catch a #10 up the hill to Boylston and walk back down to the apartment. Watch movie - Shrek The Third. Justin Timberlake is the voice of Artie. Eric Idle is the sorcerer Merlin. I love his entrance. Merlin becomes one of my favorite characters. I love his Whammy Zammy.
Merlin: Greetings, cosmic children of the universe. Welcome to my serenity circle. Please leave all bad vibes outside the healing vortex. Now prepare- [the holograph cuts off. Merlin comes out the front door and says]
Merlin: I knew I should have got that warranty.

zaterdag 28 mei 2011
zaterdag 28 mei 2011 Awake at 6:05 with Glee still playing. Turn on MSNBC. Obama is having a press conference in Poland. They break to the Boardwalk of Wildwood, N. J. People are enjoying the beach and the warm weather on this Memorial Day weekend.
Uff! My coffee is too strong. Hash browns and fried egg for breakfast. Switch to the Cartoon Network. Cool. It's Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Evil Plans. In the middle of a routine shopping trip on Coruscant, C-3PO is abducted by the bounty hunter Cad Bane! Are kids watching this?
Over to the Travel Channel. Watch Anthony Bourdain - Los Angeles. I seem to be visiting places warmer than Seattle through the TV. I enjoy the segment about Thai Town. Tony eats a meal of Thai boat noodles at Sapp.
Meander around d'town on foot and by bus. It's a big sports day in Seattle. The New York Yankees are in town to play the Mariners. Yankee fans are shopping and seeing the sights. I see a variety of NY baseball caps.
More exciting for me: The groups of Mexicans heading down to Qwest Field for the Mexico Vs. Ecuador Soccer Match. All the people wearing their football jerseys and some with flags of Mexico held high... ¡Arriba!
By the time I get back to the apartment, I turn on KUNS - Ch. 29 for the match.
Wow! There are lots of fans in the stands! ¡Ya se armó!
Turn on Comedy Central to watch Superhero Movie. It has only two stars but most of the time I'm laughing out loud. I like the clumsy, Spandex-clad Dragonfly boy.
It looks nice and sunny outside, but I stay inside looking at travel photos. Also, a Star Trek movie marathon is playing on SyFy. I haven't seen Star Trek: The Motion Picture in a long time.

vrijdag 27 mei 2011 Up before alarm. Turn on CNN. Report - Storms Blow Across The East Coast As Midwest Counts Its Toll. Black beans and spaghetti for breakfast. Find a cute YouTube vid of Family Guy - Something, Something, Something, Dark Force. I love watching that show.
Zig zag down Capitol Hill through the Cascade Neighborhood to work. Shawna gives me an assignment - Throw out the bad mats in the Bike Room. 11 - Charmaine's lunch. The Seahorses are playing with pink foam and bubbles in the water table. Kenn sets up lunches.
Easy-going hour. Fun and smiles. Blowing bubbles.
12 - Cristin's lunch break. Only 5 Starfish. The kids kinda play with their lunches. I set out the mats and change a few diapers. When the lights go out, the kids go right to sleep. 1 - Toni's lunch. Quiet time. 2 - Patty's lunch. The kids are sleeping. Time for me to rest. Turn on The World when I leave work. James Foley was among a group of international journalists who were taken into custody in Libya in April. He spent five weeks in Libyan detention. Now he’s telling his story. Report - James Foley Talks About His Detention in Libya.
Streetcar to d'town. #545 bus to Uwajimaya. Got some Sho Chiku Bai and lots of veggies. #316 bus tunnel up to University Station. Walk up University to the apartment. Hey! Zack Kopplin Rocks! Zack Kopplin is a Louisiana high school senior (heading to Rice University next fall) who decided to fight the misnamed Louisiana Science Education Act... a backdoor method to teach Creationism.
The theme of the day seems to be... I Believe The Children Are Our Future. Here's another story. Amy Myers chats with Lawrence O'Donnell... Amy Myers - High School Student of Cherry Hill, N.J. - Challenges Michele Bachmann to a Debate.
Spaghetti primavera for dinner. The intellectual skills of Brittany (Heather Morris) are highlighted in this episode of Glee - A Night Of Neglect.

donderdag 26 mei 2011
donderdag 26 mei 2011 Up with alarm. Watch a little of Morning Joe, but I switch to France 24. Heads of state are arriving in Deauville, France for the 37th G8 Summit. Le président français Nicolas Sarkozy says bienvenue!
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan will brief the G8 on Tokyo’s response to the nuclear crisis at Fukushima after the tsunami in March, part of a process of discussions aimed at improving the safety of nuclear power plants. The G8 Will Discuss Unrest In The Arab World.
A shift in global influence to emerging powers such as India and China, who are not in the G8, has led to the bloc's relevance being questioned. But speaking in London on Wednesday, President Obama rejected arguments that the rise of superpowers like China and India spelled the demise of American and European influence in the world. Anyway... I like the logo.
Smörgåsbord for breakfast. Shower. Streetcar to work. 10 - Open space. The Bike Room looks busy with at least 15 kids from the Infant Room, so I help out. Ouch! Someone clonks me with a block.
The Sea Turtles are going to visit the Starfish classroom. Some of the kids want to play in the sinks. They explore and find the cars, the kitchen... and the Writing Center.
11 - Joyce's lunch break. The 5 Sea Turtles return to their classroom to read a few books and sit down for lunch. I eat my egg salad and rice with them. 12 - Tanya's lunch. I change a few diapers while Joyce cleans up the lunch mess. They love how they just lay down on their mats and go right to sleep. 1 - Cristin's lunch. The 7 Starfish are sleeping. Nice quiet hour. 2 - Toni's lunch. Take 3 early-risers to the Bike Room. We build a Space Needle out of the big soft blocks. They try to climb up to the top. Austin says Welcome to the Space Needle. Walk straight up Boren to #404. I get a little rain on me. Relax on the sofa with Max on my lap. Check the weather and news. Rice and tofu for dunner. Switch to KZJO - Joe TV to watch South Park - Do The Handicapped Go To Hell? The Luau musical in hell cracks me up! And dinner with Satan...
Next... Family Guy - Something, Something, Something, Dark Side.
I'm ready for Star Wars V - The Empire Strikes Back. Sometimes, it's hard to be Luke Skywalker. "It's too big."

woensdag 25 mei 2011
woensdag 25 mei 2011 (svenska: onsdag 25 maj 2011) Restless night. Coughing on and off. Turn on Comedy Central to watch The Daily Show. And there's Boom Goes The Dynamite on Tosh.0. Switch to MSNBC before falling asleep again. I wake back up to Paul Ryan, R-Wisc. talking on Morning Joe. Eek! Ryan: Democrats 'Shamelessly' Demagogue Medicare. Reality check: To be loyal to the Ryan budget is becoming lethal to Republicans. It's a killer issue.
Turn on Stephanie Miller. The gang seem up about Democrat Kathy Hochul winning what had been a Republican seat Tuesday in upstate New York. Rice and hard boiled egg for breakfast. Switch to BBC to watch President Obama's address before MPs and peers in Westminster Hall. His speech emphasizes advancement and security... our need to work together.
Shower. Walk up Terry to work. Breaks for Pam and Anne. The 6 Sea Otters do play-doh with me. Out to the playground to meet the Rainforest Kids. The group needs to clean up fast to let the Trailblazers in. Raul and I go up and read lots of new books. The Pigeon Wants A Puppy is a hit. I like Raul's interpretive reading... his voice changes, gestures and posture. Bravo, Raul!
Down to Sea Otters again for lunch and naps. 1 - Cristin's lunch. I'm dreading this... I hear lots of crying when I enter the room. "I want my mommy!" Things calm down eventually... but it's not easily done. 2 - Toni's lunch. It's quiet for the 8 Starfish. I take the early risers to the Bike Room. Austin and I build a house together. Streetcar to d'town. Walk straight up University in the rain to the apartment. Max says meow to me. Turn on MSNBC. I like Rachel's video - Defending Medicare To Victory.
Fix salad and stir-fry eggplant with rice for dinner. Watch Star Wars - A New Hope.

dinsdag 24 mei 2011
hair dinsdag 24 mei 2011 Up at 6:10. Nice to sleep in a little. Turn on Morning Joe. Joe Scarborough goes into a dizzy about Medicare entitlements and the usual right-wing tool-etry. He yells at Harold Ford Jr. "The truth will set you free!" Crooks & Liars posts a response: Joe Scarborough Goes Into A Tirade Comparing Medicare to Steak and Chocolate Cake.
Yikes! Rice and beans for my breakfast. Joe. I'll share some of my lovely rice and beans with you. Nice calm rice and beans. Check out the news from Taiwan on Channel 92 - AAT Television. Cool. And there's an ad for the Teapot Restaurant.
I'm not really listening Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speech with the U. S. Congress. I can't stand to watch and listen to the political posturing. I do take notice of how Netanyahu Handles A Heckler. My focus is more with the Swedish Rail service and the X 2000 high-speed trains. I hope that my friends are getting around alright. Up to Rudy's for a buzz cut. Walk around Capitol Hill for a little bit. Back to #404 to finish my Swimming Tofu Rama for lunch. Sip on some Chamomile tea and relax. Check BBC News. The ash again? Ash Flight Delays Hit Thousands.
Also - Queen Greets President Obama On First UK State Visit. The Obamas are staying at Buckingham Palace in the Belgian Suite. Nice. Over to City Market to get a Mega. Down Denny to Whole Foods to pick up some coconut rice, goat cheese, veggies and coffee. Drop off stuff at #404. Down to library to get a travel book on Sweden - Lonely Planet Sweden. Cool photos. I wonder if my friends cross the amazing Öresund Bridge... or take an X 2000 high-speed train to Stockholm.
Back to the apartment. Maxine wants to play with my shoe laces. Turn on MSNBC. They interrupt Chris Matthews for tornado warnings in Oklahoma and Texas.
Fall to sleep to Forbidden Planet.

maandag 23 mei 2011
maandag 23 mei 2011 Restless night with Maxine. Switch back and forth from MSNBC and CNN. It's all about the destruction of Joplin, Missouri from the tornado. Report - Survivors Tell Of Dread, Loss After Missouri Tornado. They do lots of interviews with the Governor of Missouri - Jay Nixon - about relief and damage control. Andrew Ross Sorkin is on the panel to discuss who's in and who's out for Republican candidates for the 2012 race. Hash browns and fried egg for breakfast. Sit around channel flipping. President Obama is having a Guinness in Moneygall, the small Irish village where his great-great-great grandfather once lived and worked as a shoemaker. Ollie's Bar is actually on Google Earth. He thrills the people in Dublin later. It's 10 AM here while it's 6 PM in Ireland.
Obama discusses America's Irish roots during a speech to 25,000 in Dublin. Shower. Walk down to Mae Phim for some tofu in Swimming Rama. I take it up to my apartment to eat it. Walk around d'town. Walk up Pike, over to Boylston and back down University to #404. Turn on Hardball, but I conk out while listening to the show. It's still about the disarray in the Republican party. Mitch Daniels is out now.
Hail Hamenthotep! I catch A Pharaoh To Remember. Then it's South Park - Cartmanland. Since I missed doomsday, I play 2012. Apocalyptic predictions are not new, there have been dozens in the last few decades alone. One thing that they do have in common is that none of these predictions, thus far, have ever come true. Where do these predictions come from? There is an illustrious history of apocalyptic predictions. Find The Rapture Exposed on Amazon. Preacher Harold Camping Says World Will Actually End In October... he was only off by 5 months. As the sun slowly sets on the city...
I turn on Rachel Maddow.

vrijdag 20 mei 2011 A noise outside wakes me before the alarm goes off. Turn on KOMO News. Report - Hiller: 'I Think I Am Eminently Qualified' The weather guy has a weird weather statement.
If you have a baby that turns six months old today, here's a crazy weather stat for you: You were still pregnant the last time Seattle hit 70 degrees.
Spaghetti and a couple fried eggs for breakfast. Channel 49 has an infomercial. You know how much I like infomercials.
Shower. Watch Glee - Duets. Great episode... especially the duet with Mike and Tina.
Sam's dorky charm is growing on me. Dude's got a Matthew McConaughey impression! Sam likes to take showers, too. Walk down Terry to work. Hang out with the Moons & Stars on the playground. The kids are playing a game called Vikings. The kids seems to enjoy rampaging and raiding the playground. Up to Wildflowers to give Darnell a break. They have a water table full of Legos and bubbles. Cool! Down to the playground for Charmaine's lunch. The Seahorses are quite rowdy. Breaking all the rules. It's impossible for Patty to read stories while I set up lunches. 12 - Cristin's lunch. The Starfish finish lunch and go down for naps. 1 - Toni's lunch. Seven Starfish sleep, but Miss P. stays awake. We read some books together like The Bag I'm Taking To Grandma's.
2 - Patty's lunch. The 8 Seahorses are sleeping. It's a quiet hour. Walk up Boren to #404. It is 70° and I love it! It's time for a Glee marathon - The Rocky Horror Glee Show, Never Been Kissed, The Substitute. Wow! I'm impressed with Gwyneth Paltrow's Spanish.
If you have a baby that turns six months old today, here's a crazy weather stat for you: You were still pregnant the last time Seattle hit 70 degrees.
Spaghetti and a couple fried eggs for breakfast. Channel 49 has an infomercial. You know how much I like infomercials.
Shower. Watch Glee - Duets. Great episode... especially the duet with Mike and Tina.Sam's dorky charm is growing on me. Dude's got a Matthew McConaughey impression! Sam likes to take showers, too. Walk down Terry to work. Hang out with the Moons & Stars on the playground. The kids are playing a game called Vikings. The kids seems to enjoy rampaging and raiding the playground.

donderdag 19 mei 2011 Up with alarm. Max is laying next to me. Good morning.
Watch MSNBC but I don't really pay much attention. Spaghetti and fried egg for breakfast. Listen to podcast of The Conversation - Seattle vs. Portland. It seems that Seattle wins (in Seattle). Watch Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Tower Is Tall But the Fall Is Short. SyFy is having a marathon of this series today. Brian Austin Green plays a charter in this series. He is wearing some brutal scars.
He is Derek Reese, a member of John Connor's resistance and the brother of John's father, Kyle Reese. I want to watch more, but I need to get to work. I say good-bye to Max. Walk down Terry to work. I'm with the Sea Turtles again. I like this group. Tanya and I escort the group to dance class. They are really watching and listening to Karen. It's all about Kinetic Learning. They dance as animals. Finn does a great imitation of a bear... growling and shaking his mane. I eat some lunch with the Sea Turtles. Most of the kids are very tired, but Kinn wants to play. Over to Starfish. In a little while, I'm taking the Starfish from the nap room to the Bike Room. Turn on The World for my walk up Boren. Report - Obama Calls For Middle East Reform. I heard his speech this morning.
“The US opposes the use of violence and repression against the people of the region,” Obama said. “The United States supports a set of universal rights and these rights include free speech, the freedom of peaceful assembly, the freedom of religion, equality for men and women under the rule of law. And the right to choose your own leaders, whether you live in Baghdad, or Damascus; Sanaa or Tehran.”
I say Yay! for that! Perfect speech. I hear Dorothy Parvaz talk about her experience in Syria. The things she heard in Syrian jails. Young men are beaten close to death. Dorothy heard their constant cries on agony under torture. "I Swear To God!" "Why Are You Doing This?" Watch some Hardball. How bad are things for Newt Gingrich? Eggplant and zucchini for dinner. Watch Glee - Grilled Cheesus.

woensdag 18 mei 2011 Up with alarm. Try to watch France 24, but it's not streaming well. Turn on Stephanie Miller. On a mostly party-line vote, the Senate on Tuesday defeated a Democratic measure to strip major oil companies of about $20 billion in tax subsidies over the next 10 years and use the savings to pay down the deficit. Opinions? Yes, please. How can our leaders justify taxpayer subsidies to oil companies that are reporting 40-50% profits? It's insane! Spinach and onion omelet and hash browns for breakfast. Shower. Quick trip to Uwajimaya to get some Chang beer - six pack on sale for only $5.99. Back to my place to put it in the frig. Revive exotic passions and rediscover Thai True Balance in your life with Chang Thai Beer. Yes... Maybe later.
Walk up Terry to work. The Spruce Street School is on my way. What are the reasons for the Keith Haring pictures in the windows.
I'm spending most of the day with the Tree Frogs and Sea Turtles. For the kids staying inside, we have corn meal on butcher paper for fun. Most of them are outside playing on the playground on this glorious blue-sky day.
Home. Pack up some stuff. Head up to #404 to say hello to Max. She says Meow. I see a nice pile of Glee to watch. Whoa! First - Audition. I want to be a billionaire. So Freakin' Bad! Sam, dude! And Britney/Brittany. John Stamos makes an appearance on this Glee episode as everyone's favorite dentist... The Kids Can't Sing Without Teeth. Right? Then Doctor Who - The End Of Time, Part 2.
That's the end for the doctor. He sacrifices himself to save his old friend Wilfred. He receives a lethal dose of radiation. Good bye. number ten. Hello, number 11. Watch Rachel Maddow. Fall asleep watching Comedy Central... watching South Park - T.M.I.

What's the secret? It's comes from the beginning of the universe tucked away in the cosmic background noise. It's Rush who says...
Walk up Westlake to work. 10 to 10:45 - Hang out with the Tree Frogs and Sea Turtles for give a few breaks. The rest of the day, I am with the Starfish. They also get some time in the Bike Room. Charity does lunch prep. I do a few diapers before we sit down for lunch. With only 6 Starfish, it's a nice leisurely time. Naps are alright, but Miss P. is defiant. I guess that it's a regular thing with her. Patty helps out and succeeds. Cristin takes the awake kids out to the playground, and I stay with the 2 nappers. Take the streetcar to d'town. Train to Uwajimaya. Shop for some veggies, beans and eggs. #33 bus up to Union. Drop off stuff. The sun beckons. Take a walk up University. Turn on 10th to pass by Pike Street Fish Fry. Turn down Pike. Back at my place. Turn on KOMO News. I can't believe that someone could be so mean to vandalize a food bank.
