Improv at work, too. Why does it seem that we're always winging it? It's getting me down.

zondag 28 februari 2016

zondag 28 februari 2016 Sunday morning movie - Vikingdom on SyFy. Eirick, a forgotten king, is tasked with killing Thor, the God of Thunder. Check out Thor's hair and beard - neon pinkish/red/copper. That chain for his cloak must rub his nips nicely.

It's my last day at Sweetbay. I feel at home here... with the cats, the creak, the woods, bus #540 and the modern conveniences. I'll miss it. Michael and I watch some of the Red Carpet.

People are going to want to move to Los Angeles for the warm, sunny weather. Bah! Los Angeles Is the Worst Place Ever!

Oh my God! There's Leonardo DiCaprio! LEO!!

Ladies and gentlemen... The lovely and talented Jake Gyllenhall... 12 years ago! Lab Rats marathon on Disney XD! Douglas: But, if I can put him back together and reprogram him— NO!

Enough TV! Walk around WWU. Some kids are playing frisbee.

It's cloudy but mild. Nice view of the bay up here.

Spring is definitely here. Trees are budding. Look at these beauties.

Stop by the Co-op for some Shanghai hot & sour soup. Gotta watch Star Wars! Oonta goota, Solo? Going somewhere, Solo? Yes, Greedo, as a matter of fact I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba that I've got his money. Jabba wanin cheeco-wa rush anye katanye wanaruska, heh heh heh. Chas kin yanee ke chusoo.

vrijdag 26 februari 2016 Friday morning - Star Trek: Obsession. Only 8 or 9 kids at school today. (But only one lead teacher.) Nice day to have the kids outside. We make chalk drawings on the pavement. The sun warms things up quickly. A few of them shed their coats. I get to go home early! Yahoo! Return to Star Trek! TRIBBLES!

It's fun to watch Star Trek Animated - More Tribbles, More Troubles. Whoa! That's a very big pink tribble!

WEAR report - Path of destruction from Tuesday night's tornado. My friends in Pensicola got a lot of rain. Very windy. Since I'm up early, I take a little bus ride up to Fred Meyer to pick up some vodka and OJ... And a donut. When I get to work, I see that the kids are already outside on the playground. I see my Star Wars friend. He has a Star Wars joke for me. Q: What do you call Chewbacca when he has chocolate stuck in his hair? A: Chocolate Chip Wookiee. I got one!

I get a little time with the babies. I'm so glad about that. It's a very busy day with all these kids. Time flies when you're busy. Home at last! A little news report about our Galaxy. It's amazing and beautiful. You've Never Seen The Milky Way Look Quite Like This. Watch You, Me And The Apocalypse.

woensdag 24 februari 2016 The alarm wakes me up. Quick! Turn on Stephanie Miller. Steph and Bob Cesca - you Cesca thing, you! - talk about that dirty word: Liberal! Busy cleaning out the litter boxes. Taking out the trash. It's garbage day. We're short-staffed, but we manage. Morning snack: Peanut butter and jelly waffles and bananas. Love it! The kids love it when I read Down By The Barn. “Moo, moo, peep, peep, wee, wee!"

The day passes quickly. Naps, snacks, diapers, free-play. Off I go. Back at the House of Cats... Watch Lab Rats: Bionic Island - And Then There Were Four.

Thoughts on Vulcan Culture - Sexuality and Pon Farr. Tuesday morning movie - MST3K: Squirm (again). A movie about worms that bite really hard! Ew! It makes me squirm! It's chilly at the beginning of the day, but the sun warms things up quickly. After morning snack, I take the kids outside. They're really hungry. They gobble up their lunches and go down fast for naps. We're short-staffed. So, our breaks are delayed. I take a nice leisurely lunch break at the Food Co-op. I see a cutie at the next table.

Back to work for more fun and games. Now we have more people to help us. Eat dinner at Casa Que Pasa. I've never seen it so busy. Love their beef, bean and rice burrito - $8.33.

Down to work. With only 6 toddlers, things seem a little hectic. We get them outside. I'm with the 3 pre-schoolers for their lunchtime. I hear chaos as the tods go down for naps. Uff da! The head teachers don't know how to do naps. Diaper and snacks. The kids go home early. The #525 is crowded. Watch MSNBC. They show The Simpsons clip of Marge's dream about 2016 politics. The two-minute clip shows the crop of Republican and Democratic hopefuls dancing and singing along to James Taylor’s “How Sweet It Is” on stage. It's been a while. Time to catch up with The Fosters... Season 3 Episode 15 in Minor Offenses.

zondag 21 februari 2016 Greetings from Sweetbay Drive. It's 39 and cloudy. Stay inside to watch TV and surf the net. Watch Disney's Tarzan. I like the Son Of Man segment. Tarzan on a Geico ad... Tarzan does not know where Tarzan go makes me laugh! Gotta love the chimp, too! Catch up with SNL... because I was busy last weekend. Great job! Kate McKinnon for President! At last... Star Trek - The Undiscovered Country in HD. Excellent! I do not understand this representation. As Spock explains to Valeris. It is the Expulsion From Paradise.

Why did Justin Bieber slam his guitar to the ground at the Grammy Awards? At least, he sang Love Yourself for us. Thanks, Justin.

It's a stay-inside-all-day day even though it's not rainy. Actually, it's rather mild. The kids seem tired anyway. Early naps. I'm a little tired today. Help to close the school today. Catch up with the adventures of Matt, Blue and Crow. A lovely visit to the zoo. Amazing photography, guys!

In celebration of Black History Month, Cameron Boyce discusses the heroic journey of his grandmother, Jo Ann Boyce, and her involvement in the Clinton 12. Go, U-Link! Almost ready to go.

Another rainy-play-inside day. The kids wear themselves out running circles around our indoor course - slide, steps and tumble mats. Naps are fairly easy. I like my Valentine's Day robot.

donderdag 11 februari 2016

donderdag 11 februari 2016 Morning movie - SyFy's version of Children Of The Corn. We take the pre-schoolers to the library for story time. We're a little early, so we hang out in the children's area. What a treasure of books. They love it! I get to read Go Away, Big Green Monster! (An old favorite from Hutch Kids.) It could be a favorite for our kids, too.

In the auditorium, they read Yo! Yes? We walk up to the library and then back to school. Exercise and fresh air for the kids... and me. Today, it's my first experience in the Infant Room. What an amazing breakthrough. I talk with the lead teacher about Infant Curriculum. Diapers, bottles, naps... and cuddles. That's what it is. Bus ride home through the rain. Settle down with the cats to watch The Martian (again). Mars will fear my Botany Powers! That should be a t-shirt!
