vrijdag 18 mei 2012 Up at 2:10. Turn on France 24. News about Greece, François Hollande's trip to DC and Donna Summer's death. Manage to fall back to sleep until the alarm. General Tsao chicken and rice for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Tina Dupuy, managing editor for Crooks & Liars, calls to talk about the GOP’s War on Women and the LGBT Community. My dear Mittens. Tying himself up into knots again. Romney On Wright: ‘I’m Not Familiar Precisely With Exactly What I Said, But I Stand By What I Said Whatever It Was’ Watch Doctor Who - The Rebel Flesh. A solar tsunami sends the TARDIS hurtling towards a futuristic factory on Earth, where human doppelgangers are used to mine dangerous acid in place of the originals, to keep them safe.

Turn on KUOW radio to listen to Weekday. Interesting conversation with James Fallows. He talks about the future of China. What Is The Chinese Dream? Walk up to Denny. Streetcar the rest of the way to work. It's time to clean closets. Then I'm outside with the Starfish on the playground. Today, the plan is that the Starfish will eat out of their lunch boxes. It will work! Over to the Seahorses. We eat lunch together. After story time, the kids head for their nap mats. There's one non-napper. Over to Starfish. Sam is awake already. I take him outside. He likes to chat with me. We watch the jets and seaplanes pass by. We move to the Bike Room where we meet up with another early-riser. Actually, we read a kid's book about race cars - Lightning McQueen. Turn on The World. A Scottish band is doing its part to popularize Gaelic. Ladies and gentlemen - Oi Polloi! Drop off stuff at home. Short walk around d'town. Watch some France 24. Want to hear about Hollande's visit to the USA. Busy first week for the French leader. His jet is hit by lightning. Greece is only 8% of the European economy. What's the deal? Europe at the crossroads. Chicken chili on spaghetti for dinner.  Finally, Doctor Who - The Almost People. Jennifer's Ganger transforms into a monster. That's really scary. Right, Rory?
