dinsdag 31 mei 2016 Midnight movie - Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster. NASA astronaut Col. Frank Saunders is an experimental android. On his way to Mars, he is shot down by an alien spaceship. I'm glad that I could catch up on my sleep during the long weekend. Restless night with stomach problems. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Chat about the Democratc Primary. We are almost at the end of the craziness. Well, Trump never stops being crazy. It's already 60 for my morning ride into town. Only 8 kids. We head outside right after morning snack. One of them conks out in the exersaucer. (Sorry. No photo.) It's a magical nap time. Nice and quiet. We have 12 kids altogether for snack. How noisy! After snack, we slap on the sunscreen and take the kids out. My usual pre-meeting ritual... Case Que Pasa. A beef supreme! Eating and watching KING 5 News.

maandag 30 mei 2016

maandag 30 mei 2016 Swords and sandals again. Get that evil sorceress! It's Hercules And The Tyrants Of Babylon.

I am so psyched to see X-Men: Apocalypse. Angel turns to the dark side. Apocalypse bestowing scary new powers! Ben Hardy. Evan Peters comes back with his antics. We love Rush!

And Tye Sheridan is the new Cyclops... angry and a bit lost.

May 30th. The closest approach of Mars in 11 years. At a distance of 46.8 million miles (75.3 million km). Okay, Martians. This is your chance to invade. War Of The Worlds!

zondag 29 mei 2016 Midnight movie - 2012. No movie is without sin. 213 sins. Whoa! Hey, hey! The Monkees are back! In honor of the Monkees' 50th anniversary, let's watch Head. I feel guilty that the sun is out. The weather is beautiful, but I'm watching schlocky movies. Starship 1984.

That's what weekends are for, I guess.

zaterdag 28 mei 2016

zaterdag 28 mei 2016 Racists yell Go back to Mexico! Clashes and arrests at Trump rally in San Diego. Bus to Cordata. Shop at Community Food Co-op 315 Westerly Road. Samuel is a cheerful, handsome clerk. Hang out in the nook. The patio will be nice in the summer. Today? Meh.

It's a chilly, windy day. I enjoy some nice, hot vegan ginger carrot soup. Delicious! Coconut milk. A touch of curry.

Bus back to my place... But the bus takes a major detour around the grand Ski to Sea Parade. I don't worry about the weather. I jump on my bike to check out the floats on Alabama. On up to the Klipsun Trail. I love to hear the wind whipping through the trees. I get tired and hungry. Home again relax and rest. R & R! Jack London: Looks like the missus booted you out in the middle of the night. Lt. Commander Data: [looks down on his uniform] Ah. I understand the source of your misperception. However, this is not sleepwear, and I do not have a missus. Data and Jack together again. Time's Arrow is a favorite.

Pardon Data's French. Alors, nous sommes presque frères. Je suis heureux de vous reconnaître.

vrijdag 27 mei 2016

vrijdag 27 mei 2016 Holocaust Survivor and Human Rights Activist Hedy Epstein Dies at 91. Hedy - one of the best representatives of humanity. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just to stay human.

A historic visit to Hiroshima. Obama's words are profound and inspiring. We must have the courage to escape the logic of fear... Low numbers at work. It gets rowdy at snack. Express yourself. It's a Free-For-All-Friday. The kids draw with markers.

Lunch, diapers, naps. With only six kids and four teachers, the day seems pretty easy-going. We spread out a blanket on the playground and have crackers for snack. Bus #540 back to my place. Watch the news. Forecast - It always rains on Memorial Day weekend.

donderdag 26 mei 2016

donderdag 26 mei 2016 Wow! The A's got a drubbing. Sluggin' Seattle. I like that. Sluggin' Seattle: Lind's 6 RBIs lead Mariners past A's 13-3. And a little black out? Power restored after hour-long outage leaves Downtown Seattle in the dark. Imagine that! #Seaoutage gives Hammering Man an unexpected lunch break.

BBC News alert: Trump wins enough for nomination. AMERICAN HORROR STORY! All hail the Orange Overlord!

On to Republican National Convention in Cleveland! Sign Up To Pose Nude At The RNC! It's a different kind of day at work. We're well staffed. On the playground, I hear one of the kids say Do you want a piece of me? How Al Pacino of you! Home. Kahn wants a piece of Kirk. Let's watch Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan... and everything wrong with it. A lot wrong, I admit. Prays to Merritt Butrick. Have mercy. I giggled a little to the reference to the Muppet Show.

woensdag 25 mei 2016

woensdag 25 mei 2016 Midnight movie - Star Trek: The Motion Picture... and everything wrong with it. 133 sins! Results from the Washington State Primary. What does it mean? It's a beauty contest for the Democrats. Look at the map.

Hillary wins King County. Whatcom County goes for Bernie. For the Republicans... Trump wins Washington State primary We're short staffed at work again. And it is so frustrating! I wish that people would focus more on the kids so that I could gossip and drink my personal drink and make personal calls. Personal calls even during a field trip.

Geez! I can't watch the whole game. It's only the 4th inning.

dinsdag 24 mei 2016

dinsdag 24 mei 2016 Restless night. Someone upstairs is restless, too. Midnight movie - The Fury Of Achilles. Gordon Mitchell as Achilles. Too many trumpets! Good ol' Italian Western version of the Trojan War. A day at work. Up to Regal Barkley Village Stadium 16 to see Captain America: Civil War.

maandag 23 mei 2016

maandag 23 mei 2016 Twitter Ruthlessly Mocks Trump Spokeswoman: 'It's Like A SNL Skit!' Stephanie Miller has fun with Healy Baumgardner. Let's watch Eden this morning. Plenty of action and suspense. How people react after being stranded on a deserted island, was quite believable - with leaders, followers and the few who would be dishonest and even steal to further their own good, without a thought about everyone else. They beat up Kenny... a lot.

A very light drizzle for my ride to work. It's an Stay Inside day for the tods. The pre-school teacher is out sick today, but we combine groups at nap time. We take to the playground in the afternoon, though. Easy-going, fun day. Leave work early. Home to watch the news. Dinner and a movie - Vengeance of Ursus.

zondag 22 mei 2016

zaterdag 21 mei 2016 Midnight movie - The Triumph Of Maciste. A classic 'Feat of Strength' scene starring Kirk Morris. Bellis Fair Mall is crazy with bargain-seeking Canadians! Shoppers want to wait in long lines. Really? Bus back to my place. Let's watch Sahara with the lovely and talented Matthew McConaughey.

Dirk Pitt goes on an adventure of a lifetime to seek out a lost Civil War battleship known as the Ship of Death in the deserts of West Africa while helping a WHO doctor being hounded by a ruthless dictator.

Gloomy day in Bellingham. More movies! Death Star! Leave me alone!

Long live Star Trek! Yes to Axanar!

vrijdag 20 mei 2016

woensdag 18 mei 2016

woensdag 18 mei 2016 Back to the green-skied world of Altair-4. Home to Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter (Anne Francis), the remarkable robot Robby... and to a mysterious terror (the Id). Let's watch Forbidden Planet.

Launching this week in OH, VA, FL, & NV. Several actors mime derogatory and just strange things that Trump has said about women. Does the Orange Overlord really speak for you? I'm with the pre-schoolers at nap time. I admire the art and colors. So multicultural. Orange in Japanese.

I read Octopus Alone to one of the early risers. Beautiful book. The weather really changes in the evening. I manage to bike home before the moisture happens. Ah! The Orioles beat the Mariners 5-2.

Orange

dinsdag 17 mei 2016

dinsdag 17 mei 2016 Catching up with Seth Meyers. Don't remind me that the polls show Hillary is losing in Ohio. I don't know. This isn't funny. Trump and White Nationalists: A Closer Look. We muddle through another crazy day. We apologize to the the new guy, Sam. We're short-staffed. I'm all sticky from a hard days work... and the bike ride home. Let's watch Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

maandag 16 mei 2016

maandag 16 mei 2016 Global Warming is really concerning me. We had another hottest month ever... AGAIN! The 7th month in a row. What to do? The Warmest April Ever Recorded. Many scientists regard the consequences of global warming as already dire and irreversible. New movies from Michael. Let's watch Deadpool. Ouch!

zondag 15 mei 2016

zondag 15 mei 2016 - Stonjold.

zaterdag 14 mei 2016 A Seattle Woman Makes Patios For Cats!

Let's watch Tarzan And The Lost City starring the lovely and talented Casper Van Dien. A fierce fighter as well as handsome!

I ride up to York again. I try to find Rock Hill Park. Some crazy dogs bark at me and scare me away. It's hard to cross Lakeway. Too much traffic. Not pedestrian-friendly at all! Visit the new Whole Foods in Bellingham. Big, bright and blue. It's like Abundance In A Box!

And there's so much beer! Kulshan Kulshan Kulshan! Ger get some!

Frigg. Bender. And Misty Blue. Those words can only be spoken on Grace and Frankie!

vrijdag 13 mei 2016

vrijdag 13 mei 2016 Superstition ain't the way. Fairly easy-going day. I'm wearing just one shirt. No layers. Nice bike ride to work. I love how everyone is waving "hi" to me on the trail. Snack, diapers, sunscreen... OUTSIDE! The kids seem to learn so much outside. Blue skies and sunshine definitely helps my mental health. You can see, hear, smell so much. I'm building a sand castle, and a one-year-old smashes it with her cup and says OW!

Read Why Kids Need to Spend Time in Nature. So, I don't feel like going straight home. Bike through the York District instead. Settle down and watch MST3K - Hercules Unchained.

donderdag 12 mei 2016

donderdag 12 mei 2016 Let's watch MST3K - The Giant Gila Monster. Twitter fight! Someone Trump can’t dodge is Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who’s pretty much had it with Trump’s bluster, sexism, racism, ignorance, and arrogance. She’s taken to kicking Trump’s ass on Twitter. Warren gives Trump a dose of his own medicine on Twitter. While Sec. Clinton blasts Trump on the campaign trail.

Emergency mode at work (again). Short-staffed. We get the kids outside right away, but it's fun. Row, row, row your boat, boys!

I bike down Alabama Street for the first time... passing by a lot of cars stuck in traffic. Thank you, Bellingham Bike Lane. Pick up a few things at Trader Joe's. The opening of Trader Joe's was a big deal. Now the big deal is the new Whole Foods store on Lakeway. Whole Foods opens in Bellingham to crowd of shoppers, protest.

I get my food at the Co-op. Oh. La, la! Je suis fatigué. J'espère que de rêver La Vie En Rose.

woensdag 11 mei 2016

woensdag 11 mei 2016 Let's watch MST3K - Prince Of Space. Funny, funny, funny! Because of the wormhole, Mike becomes a small robot. It's National 'Twilight Zone' Day.

Commander Douglas Stansfield, aged 30 (played by Robert Lansing), an astronaut in the year 1987, is scheduled to be sent on an exploratory mission to a planetary system 141 light-years from Earth. The round trip will take forty years. To save him the ordeal of 40 years of loneliness, he is to be placed in (newly developed) suspended animation for the twenty-year trip. Watch The Long Morrow.

Parents getting help from professional services in raising their kids. Yeah. Parents are over-rated. They're often ignorant and obnoxious.

dinsdag 10 mei 2016

dinsdag 10 mei 2016 Who Would You Want in Your Werewolf Movie? I love Dylan O'Brien. But it's hard to love a werewolf... Tyler Posey. Let's watch MST3K - Werewolf. Turn on Stephanie Miller. She interviews Mary Steenburgen – Award-winning actress & advocate for Hillary Clinton. Jim Ward does his impression of Kim Jong-Un. Yay! Sam is working for us today, but he doesn't go to the library with us. Story Time at the Bellingham Public Library is fun! We do songs, rhymes, fingerplays and movement. My friend is going YAAAAY!

It's a hot, busy and exhausting day, and I still have to bike home. C'est la vie. M's and Rays at the Safe. I wish that I could be there.
