zondag 31 juli 2016

zondag 31 juli 2016 Watch France 24. This guy - Adcazz - takes excursions on the rooftops of Paris.  I really like the movies Anton Yelchin played in. His portrayal of Pavel Andreievich Chekov was perfect. Cute and funny. Nice tribute Anton, I feel. In Russian Павел Андреевич Чехов. I find the action - horror film Odd Thomas on Netflix. Anton Yelchin plays a psychic who can see dead people and bodachs.
What a ride! The film is funny, sweet, sad, a bit scary, and had lots of action. The mysterious evil forces... The love story was so sweet but not sappy at the same time. Scary bodachs! I can't stay inside all day. Bike ride up to lovely Silver Beach.

zaterdag 30 juli 2016

zaterdag 30 juli 2016 Saturday morning TV. I feel like a kid. I love watching Land Of The Lost... just for Wesley Eure.
Yikes! Did the M's loose that bad? M's blown out in Windy City with 12-1 loss to Cubs. I got to tell you... Go Cubs Go!
Bike to downtown. Haircut at Jes'. Just $10. It's a beautiful day. Blue skies with a few clouds. However, I spend a couple hours in a dark movie theater to watch Star Trek - Beyond. Star Base Yorktown was a beautiful maze of skyscrapers. I loved it!

vrijdag 29 juli 2019

vrijdag 29 juli 2016 Turn on Stephanie Miller. It sounds like that she had fun at the DNC and wants more. It's all done, but it wasn't all fun. Interview with Gloria Allred. She talks about her scary fall. I get a second breakfast gratis. Work lunch at Torre Caffè. I get a Breakfast English Muffin with sausage. Scrambled egg, cheese, tomato, pesto. I love pesto. Nice touch.
Congratulations to the Rhodes Bros! 2 years on YouTube. Like me... a gay boy from Ohio who moved to the West Coast. Escaped!

donderdag 28 juli 2016 Watch France 24. ‘Nobody more qualified than Hillary Clinton,’ Obama tells Democratic convention Just because the lovely and talented Taylor Lautner can make me laugh... Fun day at work. It's sweet of my Star Wars buddy to share his book with us. Darth Vader and Friends is funny.
Back home to watch the DNC. Tonight: The Grand Finale.

woensdag 27 juli 2016 Turn on Stephanie Miller. Steph and Frangela get the tingles when they talk with Rep Ruben Gallego! ‪#‎DNCDay3
They talk about the highlights and looking forward to today's DNC. Sebastien de la Cruz opens Day 3 of the Democratic National Convention... a 14-year-old mariachi singer delivers with his rendition of the National Anthem.
Kaine does great impressions of Trump. Huuuuuge! And Believe me. Lenny Kravitz asks to 'Let Love Rule' for DNC performance.

dinsdag 26 juli 2016 Looking back at day one of the DNC 2016... I am lucky to watch the DNC 2016 gaveled during my lunch break. The National Anthem moves me to tears. And look at that smile on that talented guy! 'Little good luck charm': Timmy Kelly sings National Anthem at DNC in Philadelphia .
Roll call! Delegates still Feel The Bern.
Hillary Clinton makes history.

maandag 25 juli 2016

maandag 25 juli 2016 A 'Heat Dome' is sitting on top of most of the U.S. Rob Marciano explains the situation. Icky. It's supposed to get up to 97° for the first day of the DNC. Philadelphia heat no deterrent for Clinton supporters.
Usher, Sheryl Crow, Josh Groban and Cyndi Lauper were among the singers and musicians to appear in the Don’t Use Our Song bit on John Oliver's Show. Listen to Usher!
What music is going to play at the DNC? I hear rowdiness! It seems that something soothing is necessary... lullaby. Bridge Over Troubled Water. Paul Simon sings at the DNC. It's 80-something outside, but it's 23.5C, so I'm happy. Apparently we're happiest when it's 23.5C.

zondag 24 juli 2016 Let's watch MST3K - The Rebel Set. First this short. I never thought Olly Alexander could be so scary... He plays Fenton in Penny Dreadful.
Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, Vanessa...I love all the characters.

zaterdag 23 juli 2016

zaterdag 23 juli 2016 I am thrilled! Kaine Crushes It!
And the VP is... Clinton and Kaine took the stage to Ain't No Mountain High Enough, joining hands to a thunderous reception from the crowd. I love it! Ain't No Mountain High Enough. Guardians Of The Galaxy. Ronan prepares.

vrijdag 22 juli 2016 Legal observers watch RNC crowd, record interactions with police. Fight for your right for free speech. I'm glad for the street medics. Is that Code Pink? Cleveland was expecting an onslaught of rioters - violence, street clashes and arrests. As of Thursday night, only 24 people were arrested during the convention. Where were all the protesters?
I want to go to Matt and Blue's home for Bacon Lovers Pasta Sauce. Easy day at work. Five teachers with 9 kids. I love leaving work early, too. Breezy bike ride home. Watch Star Trek - By Any Other Name. This episode is packed... Andromeda Galaxy; antimatter; diet; energy barrier; Federation; flesh; flower; food; food pill; food synthesizer; force field; intergalactic void; Kelva; Kelvan; Kelvan Colony; Kelvan Empire; Kelvan life craft; Kelvan ship; kiss; literature; logic; love; matter; matter-antimatter reactor; memory tape; metal; Milky Way Galaxy; paralysis field; paralysis projector; paralyzer; red alert; Rigelian Kassaba fever; robot ship; rose; sahsheer; Saurian brandy; science and some very very very Old Scotch...

I love comedy mixed with the politics. Yay for SNL at the RNC! And Che and Jost go out to meet the people in Cleveland! Is Rudy Giuliani crazy? He needs some lower-case teeth.
Here’s Why Michael Moore Thinks Trump Will Win.

woensdag 20 juli 2016 Another beautiful day in Cleveland. Jackie - from Newsy News - is causing some commotion. Nice tour from E. 4th to Public Square. Lots of police, too. Protesters gather to 'Wall Off Trump'. Protesters attempt to block an entrance to The Q. Watch out! Bike Police!
Ted Cruz booed at RNC after declining to endorse Donald Trump. What's that? Cruz talking about civil rights? I heard it wrong. (?)

dinsdag 19 juli 2016 Did Melania Trump copy Michelle Obama? WEWS anchors ready (?) for another day of antics at the RNC. Day 2: Make America Work Again. Speakers: Ben Carson, Kimberlin Brown, Donald Trump Jr. & Tiffany Trump.
Activists arrested after climbing flagpoles at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to display anti-Trump banner.
If the Donald becomes President... It's only 17.8 miles to Canada. I want to get out of this. Please, Canada. Accept me! Refugee.

maandag 18 juli 2016 Terrence Lee has a bird's eye view of the RNC.
The producer's booth for WEWS.
Chaos erupts on the convention floor. The Colorado delegation walks out in protest! They go bonkers! "They cheated!" Socialism is lame? Socialism is crazy? No! Socialism sucks!
Typical of the simple-minded at the RNC. Oh! Melania Trump speaks. Gloria! Hark on angels high!

zondag 17 juli 2016

zondag 17 juli 2016 Watch Boys Briefs 2. Some good shorts. I like Breakfast by Alexander Pfeuffer. My dear Till... What's a boy to do?
Oh my God! Touch is the best. It's so good by its sadness. Sad and heart-wrenching. A boy tells his story of abduction... abused for 8 years.
Star Trek Phase 2: "Blood and Fire"
Spock, Peter Kirk & Alex Freeman are stuck aboard the U.S.S. Copernicus which is invested with Regulan Bloodworm and has to be destroyed. However, they meet two researchers aboard who claim to have a cure for the infestation.

I almost don't want to talk about it.

donderdag 14 juli 2016

donderdag 14 juli 2016 Attend carefully, children. It's the midnight movie - MST3K: The Unearthly.
The best things are the shorts: Posture Pals and the highly educational Appreciating Our Parents. It's a busy day at work as usual. I'm glad that I put on my Millennium Falcon t-shirt. One of my kids was getting upset at drop-off, but he sees my shirt. "Cool shirt, Mike!"
Oh,no. Not again. Just after my lunch break. I hear the news. Dozens killed in Nice 'attack' as lorry ploughs into crowd
I am exhausted, too. It's too much. Too much. Too much.

woensdag 13 juli 2016

woensdag 13 juli 2016 George W. Bush Danced on Stage During Memorial for Fallen Officers. George W. Bush has always been a quirky guy. Ya know?. He paints portraits of dogs now. This seems a little more quirky than his painting, though. Let's do the Hokey Pokey!
Another great post from Chelsie Dort: When Suddenly No Lives Matter.
I get a little hot and sticky from being outside most of the day with the kids. A field trip down to the Maritime Heritage Park to see the salmon swim in the fish ponds. Some of the kids just enjoy the fresh air and a ride in the cart. Some want to watch the fish swim. Cool off at home with a quick shower and watching SNL - The Hit. I love the snow!

dinsdag 12 juli 2016

dinsdag 12 juli 2016 Watch WEWS News in Cleveland. How are they going to survive the RNC? Cleveland Police use bike cops to patrol protesters marching in city streets. It's a nasty Seattle tactic used at the May Day protests. GOP Platform Identifies Pornography As A National Public Health Crisis... As opposed to, say, guns. Thanks Igor Volsky.
Yay! It's Unity Day. I see it at work on my iPhone. (I love my "H" app!) Bernie Makes It Official: I'm With Her!

maandag 11 juli 2016 Watch France 24. Portugal Claims Historic Euro 2016 Victory. Yay! Stephanie Miller is on! Moderate Republicans Seek to "Soften" GOP's Official Stance on Gays and Lesbians... ... "not to the point of being flacid." I feel a few refreshing sprinkles on my ride downtown. Do I really see 12 toddlers in one room? Busy day. I feel that these kids deserve better care, but the teachers (the assistants) have the skills to make it work. But I can't help compare it to Hutch Kids. Every day, I tell myself This Is The Worst Child Care Ever. At home, I watch the Shannara Chronicles - Ellcrys. Run, Boy, Run! I'm sorry. What does this look like?
I happens!

ABC News - Thousands Protest Nationwide for the 'Greater Good of Humanity' Following Police Shootings
Let it be known... I am a man of peace. I have been a victim of hatred. I carry a scar on my forehead forever. But I want peace. I want love and brotherhood.
I survived somehow. I just want the hate to stop. No more fear. No more hate. I give love to my kids every day... hoping that it spreads across the world. Love and Peace. Love & Peace. Love & Peace.

donderdag 7 juli 2016

donderdag 7 juli 2016 Watch France 24. On ENCORE - Irish actor and 'pin-up' Aiden Turner to be the next James Bond. The USA is in the news. The shootings. The racism. The politics. The world is studying us. Inside the mind of white America. Who are the latest victims? Pinned down and shot! Terrible. Protests on the rainy streets of Seattle. Protests across the country.
Scattered light rain. We keep the kids inside in the morning. The playground is fairly dry in the afternoon. So, we get a little fresh air.

woensdag 6 juli 2016

woensdag 6 juli 2016 I woke up early this morning to watch the news on Channel 5. I have an app for that. They told me that I didn't win the Mega Millions lottery... and Terrence Lee reports about the speakers for the RNC. Scott Walker?
Oy! Trump Praises Saddam Hussein. Trump went on to call Iraq the Harvard for terrorism to scattered laughter. Why should I talk about work? It's CRAZY every single day... And I should quit! But I care about the kids. Still... I should quit. Ha! Someone quit today. (Not me.) Another teacher went home sick. I take an extra long bike ride home. At least, I have the blue skies and sunshine. Put another crazy day away.
