Gaseous Clay

I should not have added onions to the salad. Interstingly enough, Mythbusters were examining flatus, aka lower G.I. gas. How ironic.

Not to mention, typical in school -- a sound or SBD, and the kids scatter to get away from it, pointing at likely suspects who all point in other directions. If a bomb goes off, should you worry who set it, or get the survivors out? I wasn't too worried about the perp, but hoping to get the kids' attention again.

why not say rapist. ....
oh, that's right, rapist has no stong conotation ... painful alteration of a person via a sexual event

he was unremarkable ... noting that TV shows topless bathing youths which exaggerate impulses. Have yout ever seen the trekkie-collector ... fitting they profile, denouncing shirless bath commercials. I agree.

radio city music room

blankity blank blank blank [music continues]

What I can't play, radio unsafe music, following the passing of a day where I chose to play a cluster of music.

Interesteingly, naive loud urbanites chose "African music", as it was instrumental Native American unknown music to the whole of the world, met with North and Central American 8th century ethnic, long-since passed identity pieces. Worse, dialects notwithstanding, cordinal directional persons having little knowledge of their ethnic specificality uncertain, I'm black ... right.

Most are more American than am I. I am 4th to 5th generation American mixed with unresearched American "sneaky dog next door", perhaps AmeriAsia. I'm in favor of what I heard when I was three and older. I'm amazed that I memorized when I was a child. Local channnels, I find that blues, rock, pop, and otherwise are my "fav" with 40s- 60's being more afulent with my being than the ska of 90s. Jazz ... ska, as related as 50 cent to Led Zepplin.

Persoanally, I like older jazz ... I like the older jazz
The ska, stuff .... as it were, can be skippped over

it's by time they bring horn to guitar .... little to some, music to others

They ought to run Linda Hamilton and her twin in commercials ... after 20 years of quite, dis-similar lifestyles, they are distinctly different.

Deep Space 9 -- too funny, the sexual inuedo

the Cardasians have a symbol, much better than the funky A or anything else, they worship ... the one pure axiom ... poon tang. Sadly, they are a "race" no to be trusted. I'd trust that people. They are betting on the right horse.

I saw parts of an episode today on Spike (phallic term) TV, testosterone based television. Summation -- non-battle is not honor according some.

reminds me of an art display: special gift -- diarama's with cervical pics inserted where clay figurines examine with wonder. A pink protagonist, in this case, expounds on the wonder of the special thing, a magical thing, described by her mother.

not so related, virgin monlogues.

Wonderful idea, moreover, miraculous that Notre Dame hosted it this year. A "men's club" hosting a women's monlogue session, generally venting on development and pre-teen coitis; forced or manipulated, or declared rape. Sadly, I missed the chance locally to hear the participants speak candidly, poetically or otherwise on their life ... post victimhood. I would venture not into a bevee of victims who are not yet ready to leave victimhood, but favor bitching over salvation (escape).

He checks, not folds with, "I'm sorry", saving a raise or fold for another round.

Puppies Cramer

Not quite two-for-one, but a reduction in price for taking two – mix puppies, Rotwieller and German Shepherd (part sneaky stray dog). They had a rough first day with new humans. They were taken from mom … rode a long trip in the van, bathed (necessary) then subjected to attention by many strange humans. They were most alive in the backyard, as they were barn dogs. They are nameless, but cute. It will be an interesting household!

War of Worlds AD 07 (series) ep. xii

Putting the missiles in firing position, they are launched at Iraqi targets. Iraqi surveillance and European tracking picks up the missiles. They are originating from Iran, which “doesn’t” have weapons. The Iraqis now scramble with their twenty minutes. Communication breaks still make predicting difficult. They will hit major targets.

In a panic move, a call is made for fellow Muslim nations to attack Iran. Few heed their call.
12 minutes.
The US has called back all forces from Iraq. Kuwait and Qatar look like large US bases with the large number of military there.

2 minutes.
Quietly, the US starts up an electronic array of subsystems, allowing the Iraqis to see the missiles heading toward their homeland. At present count there are ten. The type is unknown, but there is a possibility of nuclear weapons. What should be a mad dash out of Iraq, a convoy, the insurgent flow is unaware of the missiles and their proximity.

Impacts!

phone message

"We got a puppy dog! Call me later", was the call I got from Charlie. Ah, shoe-biting, poop-making, peeing puppy dog. It will be fun for them! I'm not sure I know where they'll have the time for it. I suppose that's from where Lori's, "after all, you will be its uncle" comment came.

Hey! How long have you had your car?

Oddly enough I was approached some time ago with this question. Apparently the man had a Geo and drove it to and from Florida. Now that's crazy! The Geo is hardly comfrotable traveling in town ... across states is wack!

War of the Worlds AD 07 (series) ep. xi

The US has released that several nuclear weapons have been stolen. Whereas they've been missing a while, the US first had to confirm the theft/wrong count, and then begin an investigation. For security and public safety, the US has not annouced the theft until now. They have few leads. They are now working with INTERPOL.

In the dark, media absent Iran, confiscated Iraqi scud-launchers move slowly over the barren Iran desert to be in position. Within hours, they will fire on their new targets.

Iraqi "insurgents" are making great waves of destruction and have pushed many US troops away from urban areas. In the rural sections, the US are well protected and have been well capable of defending themselves. They are now getting orders to pull back to south Iraq in the southwestern quarters, and there to wait and to guard a new shipment, of what they are not informed.
~~~
The non-Arab pact is dropping shipments to northern Iraq and dropping jamming equipment to select positions within Iraq.

Super surpirse

A thank you letter and letter of appreciation from a student whom I've seen very little this year. M.B. -- Thanks!

War of the Worlds AD 07 (series) ep. X

Day three of the battles:

The US is now firing payloads of ordinance on all primary targets. Bombers are running strikes on inner cites, causing continued communication blackout and services severed. In droves, many people are trying to exit the country to neighboring countires.

On the Iraq border, many are finding resistance from the US and from Iraqi military. When weaponized and when unarmed, many are summarily shot and killed despite reports of being attacked.

So far, no land forces have entered Iran. It has been speculated that no land forces will enter Iran until 2007, long after the cities have been destroyed. Some surveillance has revealed limited activity in urban areas. Hot zones have been targeted as military targets.

The world still is unaware of the deaths of millions in Iran.

odd favorite song

I played music for the kids in Art today. In my collection, including Kidz Bop, was Y.M.C.A. They loved it! How very odd that a 27-year old song by an openly gay group (perhaps not all were gay, but were in costume for it) was the most memorable.

older, more personality

Charlie, playing Smash Brothers with me, states, "I put it on team play" with a tap on the shoulder. He knows Smash Brothers. His favorite weapon, the hammer. It is wicked and kills 70% s of the time with the first hit.

"vampire" Jeff's experience with Bubbas

"vampires" -- Monkeyjack's term, were talking a bit with me, none to Charlie's joy who hoped I (the toy) would play with him -- not talk with adults.

Jeff recalled the story of meeting the siblings. I remember something like this:

Having never met them before, his girlfriend (now wife) left him alone in the backyard with the brethren seven, intellectually that age too? They huddled together and sent their biggest man to confront Jeff. Jeff -- now away from Connie, was uncomfortable, because of a "confused" person there and their general aloofness toward strangers or Lost-like "others". Junior, comfortably 6' 3" approaches lightweight 5' 10" Jeff.

"You're not white."
[pause] Jeff likely wanted to say something nasty in return like, "you're not as bright as your lighter"

Later Jeff mentions that one or more stated, "If you touch her, you're gonna be hurtin'".

Now, this is correct, despite their gutteral, perfunctory use of southern-drawl rural English

"I'm a marine and I'd like to see you try it", quickly retorted Jeff. He left because there was nothing there but a waste of effort, speaking more articulately drunk than they could sober. He found Connie, but couldn't convince her to leave. Jeff spoke with the grandma who asked for violators.
She slammed open the door and demanded a swtich so she could draw blood on wrists, punctuated with with slaps to the head to chronological adults. As it were, southern (suthnrn) justice.

Connie likened the cadre as rabbits --- overbreeding and breeding poorly (not just a pun) apparently living off state gratuities to unwilling-to-work families.

Does Jeff sound bitter?

They seem nice to me and their stories, when I get a chance to hear them, are very funny.
Connie, might be pregnant for the first time. Her cancer, finished (?) last year means that she'll have a challenging birth. My luck to them.

high rise cottage

Cerpicio's family has a cottage and they are protecting it from the hundred-year flood, by raising it. He mentioned that it is lifted six feet off the ground and will be raised and finished in two weeks. That's cool!

Hey! Get pictures!

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. ix

The UFOs, as it turns out, are aircraft flooding the area over the blacked-out Iraq/Iran. They position themselves over the area, preparing for a massive assault. Two large missiles have been fired at a level of 30 feet, skimming over the ground to their targets. The payload is thermonuclear.

In the last moments before, Kherramabad disappeared, small blips of power were becoming available in pockets of Iran. Singular phone calls were placed, catching up on lost news … allaying worries of death and sickness, everything was just fine.

[deafening silence]

Missile two strikes near the Iraq – Iran border; people, roads, mine fields, military all disappear without voices. Communication is still blacked out, but a mushroom cloud is impossible to hide. Clearly, this is no act of God – it is an attack.

US and British intelligence leak that a large cache of nuclear material was activated, causing the border explosion, while the second explosion is credited to Iran’s hasty development of nuclear weapons. Iran and Iraq cannot offer any story, as they are still blacked out.

Paula - Dan (could be PK Dojo)

Paula, it appears -- now reaching her black belt first degree can become an instructor if she so chooses. Paula and Cerpicio had a celebration for her achievement, in which I botched the time, arriving well after everyone had left. Sorry I put a dent in the evening, but that movie we saw needed lots of viewers to assure you that you weren't missing something, but rather that it was foul!

Anyway, the belt, bearing her name is neat, with a bar on the side indicating her degree (1st). She mentioned that there are stages to get to the each degree, a number of years roughly equivilent to the ranking of degree, so that the 2nd degree takes 2 years, 3rd three and so on. Therefore, a person who has a 9th degree is likely an older person, yes?

I hope that she does with it what she wants. Sometime I would like to see her work. Cerpicio was not enchanted by the prospect of her demonstrating on him.

The principal was there before me, but I understand that I was dunked more often than he was. How's that?!

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. viii

More reports are in and there is no second incoming object, thankfully.

Under the fog of communication lapses, the US military moves into better positions in Iraq and Iran. The NEO, as it turns out was a long-ago sent “weather satellite” that held its position for a while. A piggy-back craft grabbed it and started it on its new trajectory – Earth. The missile, had it fired wrong would have started WW III, but as it was, successfully sped up and exploded in space over the Arab region. The communication blackout was a success and the battle will soon begin.

Operation A21-F (07 AD, completion of Arab ‘dis-ownership’ *in 2007) underway. Its target start date off by 14 weeks, but will 2007 might be the end of the Arab-Muslim realm. Generals in the Non-Muslim Pact have pledged support pending initial successes over the first four weeks of the silent operation. While no longer needing to claim NEOs, other communication blackouts will continue to shroud the area, like a non-dissipating storm. A rain of so-called counter terror is massing. The Tsunami army will strike soon and hard.

Reports of UFOs are now common over much of Africa and Southern Europe.

Cat scratch fever

or, that's what I'll call it. I was at Dave's and Cinder came up to see people. I started scratching her and she would not let me stop. She lied on the floor and continued to want scratched. More ... more, never enough! I'll go cooky!

Cinder is a cute pudgy-looking cat, with loads of loose fur, people-loving. Will, however, chased her around a little last night, barking like a dog.

Unbearable lightness of being "It"

Not the evil clown creature of Stephen King, but rather:

Trying to approach a couple of kids during their recess time and their mad dash scurrying away from me --"Ah! (giggle giggle giggle)"

I wound up playing tag and was again reminded of how out of shape I am. They were hanging on me at times so the "it" could tag me. Other times they would herd around me like hungry pigeons saying "Me!" "Can't touch me!" "Tag me!" and so on

It was a good time that earned me a "higher" status with them, rather than mediocre tyrant who likes control and less noise. It was well worth it in the end.

Typically, there were several injuries on the playground, unrelated to tag and a couple of times running -- shoes flying off feet because they weren't tied. This is a typical "fashionable" thing to have -- like basketball shoes untied (Sadly, never credited to Run DMC). I remember doing that in the 80s.

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. vii

Day two and there are known power outages and general chaos in the Iraq area. There is no power, no phones work and most vehicles seen are inoperable. The military has confirmed that some communication loss is correct, but it will be re-established. Visitors to the area have mentioned no change except for a general lack of power and communication.

The second NEO has now been confirmed by other specialists. It appears to be the same size, but moving faster. Since Urich was destroyed on the atmosphere, it is predicted that this new NEO will also. US military is sending supplies to the affected areas, but communication is still lacking.

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. vi

The object increased speed, broke apart and seemingly disintegrated over the area of Iraq and Iran. There appears to be no fallout, but communications have been disrupted. Military communications stopped at the moment of impact of the object on the atmosphere. Satellite images of the area show nothing new, but some satellites have been inoperable.

Some cell phone users are complaining from lack of service. Emails have been coming through with sketchy details. Some cities appear to be powerless. There appears to be a strange absence there.

The US has not confirmed or denied military communication errors, though persons talking with servicemen at the time were cut off suddenly and weren’t able to reconnect.

The US had sadly mentioned today, its discovery of what appears to be another NEO. No other nation has verified this.

in command of nothing

I have finished a long-term assignment, now I have bits here and there again.

I think, with my experience with other children, that I am that fat jolly old elf ... summer time Santa, not threatening ... you can punch him, bounce on him, and he still gives you presents. With that, I wonder if I am that, which is why I have some difficult time convincing children/students that I mean business and that like-it-or-not, learning and practice is what we do.

I guess Buzz Lightyear can't be a teacher, perhaps -- although the one time that I never think of "its a payday", teaching isn't the perfect fit. All other jobs it was ... working for the pay. Teaching, I like so much, that apart from bills and debts ... I never think of the money. It is a fun ... it is work, but I never think of "its a job". It is what I do --- fun, work, accomplishment. There I achieve!

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. v

In 2 hours the object will strike the Earth. It has increased its speed again and appears likely to hit the ocean and not the US. Americans are relived that they are in less danger than they were hours and days ago. With this news, many in the US are returning to a calmer state and expecting to return to a normal “hump day” Wednesday.

Camera crews on ships are preparing for any footage they can get and have announced that the associated press will pay for most footage of the object.

The US military is at a stand still in the Iraq movement. The news that they may pull out, has been changed, but the insurgent lines still pour into Iraq unchecked by the military. The US again focuses on the challenges of helping Iraq regain and retain it’s freedom from a coup. It hasn’t announced any intent on increasing its force which is now substantially smaller.

Japan’s rocket fired correctly, but missed the object, so scanning it wasn’t possible.

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) iv

It is 11 hours now until the object is to strike the Earth and it appears that it will strike the US, but it may not be in Missouri. Scientists are still struggling to effectively predict its point of impact. The object is oddly deflecting radiation, preventing effective scanning. There is no known reason for this and scientists are baffled. Presently it is appearing to speed up on its decent … again, an aberration that baffles scientists. By this slight increase in speed, many in the US are hoping that the predictions are wrong that that is misses the US and strikes the ocean.

The US is scrambling to ready itself for any problems that might arise from “Urish”. Japan has prepared a rocket to come close to the object to hopefully determine some information, and plans to fire it within 2 hours. The weather in the area is still a problem, but Japan will launch regardless the weather.

In hopes that some of the object is retrievable, ships are moving into the Atlantic Ocean to recover it. It is a possibility that the object will survive greater if it strikes the ocean, but it is unclear if the resulting collision will cause a tsunami. The US is calling for all non-military craft to leave the area in case of such a problem.

Many vessels have entered into international waters with the hope of making it rich, catching the object and selling it to the highest bidder.

Uncommon question

as asked of my by a 4th grader: "Mr. [my name], why do people scream when they have sex?" "None of the teachers seem to know."

I responded: "Oh, they know. It's just, uh ... better if you ask your folks. They'll have more time to discuss it with you."

In other news, a boy came up to me, unprompted, "My dad's a robber." He later on reported to me that he doesn't live with his father anymore.

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) iii

By most accounts, the time of the NEO to hit the Earth is in around 10 hours. It appears now that the object will indeed hit the US. Other scientists are scanning for any other objects following this one, but have found none. The object is cylindrical and moving fast. It is not rock in composition, as stated by many. By the size of the object, scientists have guessed that it will strike the US around Missouri, but that the bulk of the material will incinerate in the atmosphere making little meaningful impact. The state of Missouri has been on full alert and all military available have been sent there to assist with any situation that occurs.

Other nations have pledged aid to the US if the damage is severe. Larger metropolitan areas have began curfews and free transportation to other areas. Residents have been requested to leave the area if possible, but strict control has been maintained to prevent rioting, and panic-induced deaths on the highways and in the cities.

FEMA has been pre-alerted to the impending problem that may arise. The President himself has assembled an assessment team and supply-deployment department in conjunction with the state services to provide aid. The Blood Cross is asking anyone who can donate blood to do so early.

The US military is experiencing some difficulties in extracting their military from positions in Iraq since their declared intent to redeploy. The US has slowed its military move within Iraq, due to fatalities and from the assumed little impact of the NEO on one state.

An emergency $50 million in aid is ready for Missouri should disaster befall it.

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. ii

After 18 hours of its discovery, the NEO 1126F “Urich” is now maybe two days away. From the best estimates from scientists, it will strike the Northern Hemisphere. Europe and the US are collaborating on a solution to a possible Earth-changing/shattering doom. While many nations are volunteering help, no nation had any solution. No rocket could be loaded with any payload to reasonably knock it out of orbit, let alone come close to hitting it. The size of the object made it difficult to effectively hit. The level of damage it might cause is yet, undetermined. From best guessing, the NEO is an ejected part from some ancient collision, seemingly from no known planet.

Scanning has revealed that it has some metallic qualities to it, possibly. It is oblong &/or cylindrical. Nothing else could reliably be determined.

The US has drawn much of its military back from Iraq trying to brace itself for a possible calamity. While the troops will not likely be out of Iraq within the strike window, they are being pulled away and redeployed to other areas, Qatar, Egypt, and parts of Kuwait. The Iraqi insurgents and infiltrators are pushing forth with a near visible line of troops and supplies from Syria and Jordan. Iran is also sending troops along the border of Iraq.

The US has deployed military and service men and coast guard personnel to larger metropolitan areas to maintain control and to curtail rioting. The US press secretary has stated that there is no good reason to panic as the object may be small enough that any damage may be as minor as a tropical depression, as well not being actually hitting US soil. He stated today that his advisors are stating that the object is in a position to strike the ocean and not any land area in the US or any other nation.

The man enters the room

After 90 seconds of an odd greating of Charlie yelling, "Hi", hugging me then doing slapstick, He runs up and starts punching me. Madison, who was also there, joins the gang mentality and punches me. After two minutes of continual punching, I had to stop all further punching. No individual punch hurt, but after around 30, they were starting to accumulate; like pestering a sore.

Amy mentioned that she doesn't get that kind of a greeting. They soon after turned their "assault" on Monkeyjack, who was less-inclined to wrestle and be punched.

zippers are great inventions

especially when they keep you from flying out of a trampoline net and onto solid pavement. Ouch! Charlie did just that tonight! Bounce, bounce -- [bounce out hit], back onto his feet stumbling around, picked up by Daddy (all within the spanse of 6 seconds).

The emergency room crew stated that he was okay.

Grass

Boy oh boy! I love the smell of wet, rotting grass. Yumm... yummmm .... puke! Ah, the trash man gets this waste and Waste Management can have it! Eww!! Biodegradable and foul! Animals eat this do they?

I saw this in '99

Hologram, as it were, only if viewed from above. I was at a teacher's science convention and they had one of these things. Neat!

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series)

After some work, the US has discovered a NEO (Near Earth Object) approaching. Its speed is difficult to determine. Other nations are verifying the object. Best guess conjectures are that the object will be close to Earth within 3 days. It is relatively small and a wonder that it was found, still its course leads it to strike Earth fairly directly, which would cause a possible global change.

The object is of indeterminate material, appearing oblong, but few other details are available. The US has not announced plans for safety or intercept of object. The Japanese are scrambling to prep a rocket for investigation, but local storms are likely to scrub any misison.

unfriendly topic

according to [name deleted], there are a few freaks who prefer to work night shifts at the morgue to ... uh, prepare the dead. Say. That once-was-a-person, is kinda cute with their mouth sewn shut and their rigor long-since gone. I'll just heat up some fluid and have a hot one ... no one will know. They're so ... posable and accomidating.

-- here's where you puke, by the way ---

then they dress 'em and apply the makeup and get them ready for the casket for presentation. I would suspect they same necros would prefer to think that other necros would have them post life.

Uh ... you mount and stuff during taxidermy, not funeral prep ... sicko! I would think that this would be more of a guy thing than a woman things as ... well ... it'd be more appliances attached -- essentially flesh dildo. What would be the point, eh?

more on line-steppers

I was waiting for, "I dare ya ta expell me!"
"Now that oughta do it!"

Habitual line-steppers

In the class with which I have been working, three. I sadly don't get to check 'em back into place.

[front quick, mid kick] aohaohhghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Smash into glass object.
I think I'm bleedin' into my chest.

I guess I should have known there was a problem when they stepped into the room, claiming, "Darkness! Darkness, everyone!"

I would, however, be the first one on the, "What did the five fingers say to the face?"
"I don't know."
Slap! [slap]

The same night we watched hot pursuit (police car chases) and an episode of DS 9 -- beginning of the war, where the space station is evacuated and taken over by the evil ones. At the end of the episode, the freedom fighters knocked out a "crack house" required to keep one race in line and not sociopathic killers, in doing so they left themselves on a slow boat to China. It will take us 17 years, 8 months ... to get to neutral space -- ouch!

paper, cutting, following instructions

nothing happened like it was supposed to:
paper folded horizontal, not vertical
cutting wrong parts
+ smudging of glue
______________
mess

My ideas hold to fold, like some of their papers, with bad creases and corners not meeting. It was a lesson on cutting, colors and more, but in the end proving that they didn't have enough experience cutting and following directions.

bad sign?

Last weekend, the priest dropped the rings. I'm sure it means nothing, but comical.

potentially good news

Mum might leave hospital tomorrow (Thursday) -- maybe, but will have a permanent change in meds now

I may be with the class a bit longer, as the teacher has not been released to go to work.

Leaving in a hurry

I was walking the kids out to the bus today when one child decided to pull the fire alarm. Needless to say, most people were already near the exits or out of the school, but were informed within three minutes that there was no fire. I saw her pull the handle and she threw a fit being yanked back inside and to the office. She wouldn't go there for me and threw herself on the ground. The FD charges $400 per incident. They plan on sending the bill to the Mom. This same kid tried to steal a wallet sitting on a kid's desk, right in front of the whole class -- 1st grade. She'll be a winner for sure.

Tormentors

Equally bad as Harry Potter's dementors

He said, she said, in the middle of bickering -- signs says you got to have a membership care to get inside; huah!

"I'm not touching you", heard on Monday
Mr. ______________, [name exempted] is touching me.
Is he playing tag with you?
No. (dubious repsonse, as all five children ran off in same direction), earlier I was "base" despite my statements to the contrary.

Yell, scream, throw a fit -- understandable for 2-4, but 6 or 7, unsightly. Adults throw them too, but I'm interested in the students developing into adults ... from that school 86.4 some percent will make adulthood. On average, 80% will make it through adulthood. The US has a mortality rate < 50%, especially with illegal immigration and urban overabundance (lupus proclivity) or Rattus norvegicus (species variant A, not wild type), aka street urchin, social leech--may they all develop (not "lead poisoning"*1)

I know that I have felt like my soul's been painfully sucked from my being with some of the students, their families an their experiences. I used to donate to RAINN, but haven't had the money. Tori Amos, while no longer the best spokesperson for the organization, didn entice me to donate.

In somewhat related news, Notre Dame (catholic) has agreed, grudgingly to host Vagina Monologues, generally concerning women's issues, including incest and rape. Unlike Corpus Cristi (picece de gayiety) I rejoice in the school's introduction of this cathartic poetry and monologuing, for it serves a purpose. I was tempted to attend while it was in town, though it might send the message of "perv", I was interested in the work, the years or decades long expelling of old ... rejoicing in being a woman and refreshing of the self. I could have only assumed many things, but happy for their associate healing.

Getting a licence

for driving takes longer than a hunting licence. Does that make sense? I ought to walk down the road with a shotgun, hunting poor drivers' tires. I stopped in at one of the (only) three branches in this ruddy town!

The line stretched clear to Terra Haute. *

I said, "skip this" and hoped for a different way. I'll see if they have the ATM like units to do driver's licences. Yikes! I should not have to wait 90 minutes to do that!

funtionality

Mum's in the hospital again ... this time, not critical. She was entered into the emergency room --- the thinking being that emergency room patients get rooms faster. I didn't see this in action. While I was at work, the folks were at hosptial 1 something. I left after 8:00 pm and still nothing. The pharmacy had some pokey or dopey people as she wasn't getting all her meds.

1-3 days later, we hope to see her again, free from the hospital.

Beetles battle in a bottle on a poodle eating noodles

I "sampled" Green Eggs and Ham and paid the penalty for it, in that in the middle of the narration it goes into the Sneeches, then back to Green Eggs and Ham. I'll have to fix it, but it was embarrassing. I had the read the remainder of the story, not then knowing that the rest of story was there. It was nice, the kids laughed a bit with my narration.
Now there's a neat little side adventure that I'd like -- narration for some petty cash.

Anyway, now I'm prepared!

I just watched the old animated Hobbit movie

and boy is my brain numb ... and my eyes are tired. I'll admit, I fast-forwarded through it, for it was ... obscenely bad. The songs they threw in it were cheesy, 70s and poorly executed. It was interesting that some of the group made Voltron and other 70s Japanese anime and the producers later made Charolette's web and are a staple company making Rugrats and other Nick toons as well as Cartoon Network. The animated movie was, slow slow slow slow slow slow slow. Snore!
I can't believe that the book would be like that, but then again the Lord of the Rings trilogy was not sprint race either, nor much of a marathon, more like a March on Dines ... slow and easy wins the pace (if anyone is watching).

Lifting up the squirrels

to a higher level ... oh, no, that's not what I was doing today. I lifted kids up to horizontal pole so they could climb hand over hand along the top to the end. I lifted many kids today. One of the few physical things I've done lately, my belly shows me how ROUND I am. Yikes! I think I'll skip eating as much.

Anyway, it was nice being out with the kids and lifting them up to play. Fun!

Pick up

your pieces and move on.
If I fail, I pick up the pieces and move on, whether I reassemble it or not. It's broken.

drum kit

or as Charlie likes to put (or putt putt putt) it ... he he he he he he he he he (tooting more and more with each and every laugh. He was winning Mario Smash Brothers and was tooting machine gun style! I'm happy that there wasn't a panic to use the restroom, but ... the toilet did get plugged, then filled with barf at the end of the evening. Poor toilet!

Wedding Black & White

I didn't film it in those colors, but that was the color scheme. It was great, in that it was short. I've experienced 2.6 hour weddings (two of my sisters' Catholic services with mass), my other sister's 45 minute version, but this one was cut to the chase! That's what it should be! Monkeyjack's and Lori's I believe was 33 mintues -- a good wedding, nothing painfully long or long-winded.

The stepfather to the bride sang the Lord's Prayer ... an interesting and 'unique' idea.

The reception was quick -- no dancing, as it was held at the church, the background music was ambiance (rainforst). I got a tip, which was great, as I wasn't expecting it.
+++
After that I met up with Monkeyjack & family and watched Charlie while they bowled. We had a good time, including finding worms and ants. Connie nicely gave Lori tickets to the circus, which she and Jeff would not attended. They seem like good, honest neighbor's with a sense of humor! Later Connie and Jeff walked over to chat. Jeff spoke about a customer who had serious damages done to home and furnishings due to an incompetant (or tired and drunk -- speculative) employeed who maliciously and carelessly damaged unique items in a person's house, installing a piece of furniture. Yikes! He also said that the company, through some nepotism, may very well shield this wrecking ball of a schmuck.

Anyway ... the cake was nice .... photos I hope reveal that and much of it was eaten. I was surprised as Lori and Monkeyjack were cutting the cakes ... they almost couldn't keep up with the demand from a <100 group at the reception. I didn't eat any of the cake, but it was obviously exceptional.

Also funny was the irony of: 3-4 Marks being there, so saying or shouting "Mark" wasn't fruitful for getting one person's attention.

Also, the bride and groom had the first names of myself and ex ... it was, distrubing on my mind, momentarily.

Easter 2006 punctuality unimportant?

I, with the folks, were late. My sister and bIL (brother in law) were there on time, yet we ate without the other family who was ... late.
I spent most of my time talking with Jim while we worked on ice cream that my sister (her house) insisted that we have. She also left, leaving us to do dishes (every holiday she does this) -- it peeves me! Look! I've cooked for lots, then cleaned what mess I made. My sister cooks, then leaves the ten thousand dishes for others ... rude!

Anyway ... it was okay, not fights, battles and we pretty much had a good time, not very Eastery though, but I didn't go to church, so I guess I missed out on that part.

It would appear that my neice and her boyfriend are quite close -- great! He seems to be a nice kid, with a Mark Hamill appearance, for lack of a better analogy. Most of the kids there were old enough that no mention of baskets were made, though I'm sure that there were pounds of candy everywhere. It was also my understanding that my neice was "ill" on Monday, not going to school. I find it likely that it was self-induced illness (candy overconsumption perhaps ... or the old COP* out).

May the sacrifice of the one, be to the joy of many; not of the loss, but of the gain -- herein, salvation!

The turn of the century, the millenium, and still we have barrons of communication and energy. Still, we have plantations of tobacco the government tags as cancer causeing and dangerous, yet the government subsidizes these farmers to produce a toxic product. Huh?

Schools failing to meet certain scholastic criteria are closed and the students sent to "water down" other schools otherwise meeting the scholastic standards. Is that really helping?
Schools are integrated, but there are fewer adults in the buildings and there are fewer "discipline options" and really funding prevents opportunities to "good" students.

The citizens call out impeachment much like recount, recall and free fries. Bush impeachment ... why? Bill, liar, I could see, but Bush has done nothing impeachable. He has done many, many, many publicly denounced actions, but nothing illegal, as it were. My tangent would be the authorization to enter Iraq, but that is another story. One man cannot force the actions of so many. Orders, if faulty or stated from a powerless position may be ignored. A private directing superiors to attacks don't make it happen and a general directing the army to fire upon itself doesn't fall under the category of punishable of "not following orders"

In a small story, the local paper ackowledged that a school applied common sense to a policy and didn't suspend or expell students for exchanging and dispensing cough drops (under broader interpretation a drug, therefore dispensing of drugs is suspendable / expellable offense). Yay for them for uing that matter incased in their skulls.

Western Digital takes licking

and starts rattling. I believe that the drive is spinning, but the USB connection in the unit -- popped off. It had all my music, but I'll seek a cheparer (or faster) way than the overcharging Geek Squad for data transfer from working drive to working drive. Let's see. hook up drive, 10 minutes. Dump data from bad drive to new drive -- simple, start and it'll finish when its done. Is that work? It certainly sounds like charging for 5 - 10 minutes. They're prices for that are more like lawyer fees.

picking candidates

like picking your nose is gross, limitedly productive and leaves you unclean. Moreover, like 47 other states, I must "declare" a party for the primary (buffoon selection 1) and elect under vice secretary to the assistance tax assessor treasurer of a county. Does the party matter then ... do they earn much ... no and no. I can't believe that they have much of a budget. I do, however expect deception from a candidate, whose supporters can finance a whole billboard on a main thorofare.

Another bad ad campaign (flyer) I read had a vision statement ... poorly done and bad idea.

How about a nice little questionaire for all persons on the ballot? Include on this pre-entry exam: understanding of job for which s/he is petitioning, specific listing of relevant experience, kinetic / dynamic / static perspective (change of satus quo and capability to do so, improvement of self and trickle down to all tangents, keeping the status quo).

I don't know more than I know on any of these people. I can thankfully say that I don't have any affiliates to which I owe favors when voting. I still feel disenfranchised, stripped of power and intentionally held ignorant, yet belittled if not exercising (not performing) voting in this runners up circle event known as primaries.

I feel equally poor at the official voting in fall.

and so there I was holding the bag

I feel like a southern task master ... picking on the ethnically different ... it's really based on behavior, but it grates on me that I give the appearance that I'm a racist with my usual suspects for punishment. With this class I also seem to "select" males for punishment more often than females. I try to be impartial and fair, but I feel that it never looks that way. It haunts me -- man of the sheet not the cloth. I know that I'm not, but I think that it appears otherwise.

You may have

the blood of Christ (which happens to be alcohol), but you may not dance. Huh? If your religion defines lines that are counter to your thining, you must either:
accept the teachings or
accept your opinions.

Does dancing lead to sex? Especially for the bride and groom. Isn't that the procreative function of the relationship and Catholically writing, the way to get more Baptists? Dancing leads to more congregation ... hmmmmm ... the _____ church hosts the Welcome "new (prenatal) Baptists.

Give that dead idea a break. He died. Okay. He joined a system where that was a possibility. It's done. Sad that siutations were that he died, but that is that. A soldier is dead.
Meanwhile, Bush is making, well, some decisions that don't play well with the media or the poulace. His cabinet should advise him to either: do things covertly or play more to the popular opinion ... passing the bill ... bad idea, posioning the Republican party. Does he not understand that? Bill Clinton was THE politician ... telling what the people wanted to hear while he was stealing their wallets. He was the political theif ... brilliant in theft, but not best suited for the job.

'Till the merry-go-round broke down
The guy that worked with me
Was a horse with the lavender eye
Around in whirls we winked at girls
'Till the merry-go-round broke down
Up and down and around it we sped
The dizzy pace soon went to my head
Now you know why I'm dizzy
And do the things I do
I am askew and you'd be too
When the merry-go-round broke down
Yes the merry go round broooookkkkkkeeeeeeeeee.... down

But you can't be any geek off the street,

LEGISLATORS!!! MOUNT UP!

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
Esquire me on the streets, trying to resume
writin’ laws for my peeps, so I can get some dough
just workin’ at my desk, typin’ all alone

Just hit topside of the Wash D.C.
on a mission trying to find Mr. Reinquest see?
Seen a case full of cash ain't no need to tweak
all lawyers know what's up with billin’ fees

So I hooks a left on the 21 and Lewis
some brothas arguin’ law so I said "Let's do this"
I jumped out the ride, and said "What's up?"
some brothas pulled some pens so I said "I'm stuck."

Since these honors clock me I'ma object and serve
these plantiffs lookin so hard they straight hit the curb
Won'tcha think of better things than some petty tricks
I see my partner and some suckers all in his mix

They gettin jacked, I'm breakin myself
They can't believe they taking all they wealth
I took they’re rings, I took a rolex
I looked at the brotha said "Damn, what's next?"

They got my homey hemmed up and they all around
ain't none of them seeing dat they going straight to the pound
bailiff come up real quick before they start to clown
He pull’s out his handcuffs and lay them busters down

They got witnesses, said
I think I'm going down
I can't believe this happenin, my partners all layin down
If I had wings I could fly
let me contemplate
I glanced in the jury and I see my an escape

Twelve in the jury, one in the hole
Mastermind about to make some bodies turn cold
now talkin and debatin
it's a tad bit late
Mastermind and Reinquest had to legislate

I laid all them busters down
I let my mind explode
now I'm switching my mind back into cash mode

Mastermind and the Reinquest

Got a girl named Nancy Cohen ... she's from Facts of Life and smaller works. She was the "fat, strong character" who you thought would be the high school mentality -- always fat. I was looking up Nicole Mckenzie, whom I favored, but there wasn't a recent picture. She was the "wild one". It's odd, thinking that I remember my high school thinking -- I guess since MR mentioned another ruddy class reunion, to which I will not attend, that I got to thinking about it.

For practicality, use and nostalgia, I put together the Schoolhouse Rock songs for the kids at school. Some of them knew the Conjunciton, Junction, but didn't know the others. Funny that I'm Just a Bill and C J were the most notable. I liked them then and I like them now. They had some groups do newer versions of the songs, but they blew chunks and sucked up navel lint.

"Without Mother Necessity, where would we be?"

Madagascar

or how to put together 6 ideas into a group of 5 with, dubious linkage with the penguins. It was okay, with a typical, unnecessary curse inuendo ... "Hoover Dam!" Why not just skip that? Anyway ... okay, disallusionment, redemption, true friendship, and it was 72-82 minutes. It wasn't a 4 hour movie (Peter Jackson ... paying attention to this?) The dry spells, while visually interesting, still would wane on the mind of the youth. They needed to accelerate a few areas, but overall okay ... with 25% re-viewability. There were no strong songs or (I missed that, surprises).

$135 and all I got was this stinking battery?!

I had two batteries, both dying and unchargable. I bought a typical battery for my laptop. Cripes! It was $135 for a chunk of metal, plastic and 0.6% liquid CDLI. Thankfully Dell shipped it next day and I got it a day after paying for it. It works fine, but it's not like a new car, or new anything. It's a battery or a replacement part that isn't shiny or fancy or much of anything. When you invest, you expect to get something, rather than typical operation. That's what I got ... expected operation. It had to be done.

Running with scissors

I've missed out on many things, put myself behind and have in all other ways defeated me in a vain effort not to do so. Time cruching and number count down, I have failed on so many fronts. In my work, I see phtfft! I try and, being a critic of my own work, dislike anything that I claim as worthy or worthwhile!

parody on justice

confining a few, in favor of the protection for most, still I then am bound and tethered to those whom I choose. I choose not, those because they're great, wonderful, grand associates, but because they're the cause of the pain of frustration ... a temporary martyr diving on the grenade to shield all others from a nasty explosion. I hate it. It still has a cost. Those, worst offenders, see that they are confined, but not assaulted and so offend again. The penalty isn't one, save for the prosecution -- me. No more I say, but find that it's only talk. My series of profanities are saved for the decades-dead keyboard and blank paper before its mauling.

Bang bang bang go my morals

My feelings of morality are, well, that I'm a sinful sod. I have principles but am willing to defy them in favor of certain situations. Headstrong, headlong, I plunge into the quagmire known as the gray area where thinking is allowed, but prompt action is required. Given circumstances where to act in my moral front (template) is to bring harm to others and to not act is to bring harm to others. Pitted now against the code of realism and pragmatism or stark reality and preference, my desires are immaterial to reality. So, I boldly hurt some to not hurt others. Some pay, my soul pays, my mind pays and takes its toll on me -- conscious reminding me like a mirror, of who I am. What have I done ... forever it pains me ... I can't change what I have done, but I wouldn't change it, the other possibility is equally terrible or worse. In the end, I haven't surrendered my morals, nor put them on a shelf, but rather see that taking pain in one way is no worse than pain in another and the I haven't circumvented my morals in favor of the fast and easy way. I do accept that I'm selfish.
