During the 1st half, I thought it might happen today, whew! Sorry...

Life doesn't get much better than the Patriots and the Trojans losing on the same weekend. The only thing that could've perfected it was if a giant meteor crashed into Yankee Stadium.

2 steps forward, 1 step back for the Twinkies.

The people comparing Obama to Hitler mostly accept the idea that health reform includes death panels. Pretty Nazi-like, if only it were true.

Credit to the MLB schedulers. Finishing the season w/ Det @ MN, MN @ Chi, Chi @ Det, the MN @ Det. Could go to any of them at this point. Well, maybe not the White Sox who got blanked by the Royals last night.

0-3 MN in the bottom of the 8th.

I just wish the Twins wouldn't tease me like this. Big games coming up against Detroit, but I'm being realistic.

Not as good as Copper Blue, but Explode & Make Up is priceless.

I find it dated, but listen to it for nostalgia's sake from time to time. In my HS Drama class, my group did an interpretive dance to Add It Up. It pretty much kicked ass.

This news made me much sadder than I would have anticipated. Not sure why.

Great! The church scene was filmed

Would love to, but it doesn't appear to be in the cards. Thursday night, 90 minutes away.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst. That's how my sister-in-law's dad went. Never a big fan of his movies (Red Dawn is a guilty pleasure), but I will remember him fondly from the Chris Farley Chippendales skit on SNL.

I tend to forget how much Ben Folds swears and not pause his CDs when student come see me for extra help. Oops.

I hate to admit it, but...

Now watching NFL football!! Go Vikings!!

Already a moral victory here. If not for OSU, then for the Big 10. I feel good watching a Big 10 team stick with USC like this.

Addicted.

Spent all day talking about it with 12-year-olds. They were 4 at the time. One of my students said her dad was on the other side of the Pentagon when the plane crashed. I sometimes think I should chuck out my social studies curriculum and just teach history backwards from whatever is going on in the world today. Trace the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan back through the discovery of oil in the Mideast, the Arab/Israeli conflict, and even back to the Crusades.

I call bullshit

I think I've said it before, The Wiggles weren't nearly as annoying as I was expecting. Some of their tunes have decent melodies and harmonies. Would I choose to listen to them? No. Can I tolerate it to see my kids happy? Yep. We (momd & dad) much prefer Dan Zanes, Justin Roberts, Ralph's World, Laurie Berkner, They Might Be Giants, and a few others.

This is me during our opening day assembly at school. I was supposed to be Bruno, a judge on some reality dance show. I studied him on youtube for about 30 seconds and raided our drama teacher's wardrobe closet.

I plan on showing this message to my classes on Wednesday. I will preview it, but expect it to be a very nice motivational apolitical speech.
