vrijdag 20 april 2012

vrijdag 20 april 2012 Up at 12:33. Restless. Turn on France 24. There's a lot about politics and the candidates running for president. The cute communist... The "Red Postman" - Olivier Besancenot - is sitting out the 2012 French presidential race.
Because of this guy, I visit his old neighborhoods of Levallois-Perret and Neuilly-sur-Seine with Google Earth. Oui, oui, Paris! Watch KOMO News. Saturday marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Seattle World's Fair. For many people the highlight of the extravaganza wasn't the Space Needle or the Monorail, but the Bubbleator. Report - After Years In Storage, World's Fair 'Bubbleator' Is Back.

Breakfast = Mac & cheese and tofu. Bath. Watch MST3K: Moon Zero Two (again). Listen to Weekday. They take my brain back to France. Has France Fallen Out Of Love With Sarkozy? (I answer OUI to that!) This weekend sees the first round of the French presidential elections. It seems that President Nikolas Sarkozy's period in power may be drawing to a close, as his socialist opponent, Francois Hollande, has a steady lead in most opinion polls.













Walk up Westlake to work. It's lightly raining on me. I'm with the Seahorses and Starfish today. It's the usual. Play, lunch, potty, naps. I am - as most teachers - glad it's Friday. We're tired. The day goes fast. Streetcar to d'town. Drop off stuff at my place. Change clothes. A little sunshine mixed with the grey clouds. Short walk up Pike and back down University. Curious about the Marlborough. Designed in the Gothic Revival tradition, the elaborate terra cotta and golden brick facade...
I'd love to live there. Home again. No mood for news. Watch Space Precinct: Deathwatch, Part 2. That's the last episode. Teresa's croissant sandwich and French onion soup for dinner. Watch Futurama: Parasites Lost. The crew prepares to venture into Fry's intestines.
Then MST3K: Revenge Of The Creature. Prologue: After 500 years, of being pure energy, at the end of the universe, Mike, Tom, Gypsy, Cambot, and Magic Voice are forcibly teleported to the Satellite Of Love.
