Fire the Bastard - Part 2

CBS finally did the right thing and fires Don Imus. If it was up to me, he would have been fired that day. On the spot. No questions asked, and no two weeks paid vacation.

Women need to rule the world. If that was the case, he would never be heard from again. That's my two cents.

A Moment of Reverence, Please

I learned today that Kurt Vonnegut died last night at his home in New York at the age of 84. Vonnegut is an individual that has had such an impact on everyday life in American Society that his absence will be felt as a gaping whole.

So in memory of his amazing, and often controversial, life, we bid you a fond farewell, Mr. Vonnegut. As a result of your works of literary prose, our lives are that much richer. Thank you for your contributions.

"I One The Ice Cream Truck..."

Adam and Emily have this game they play called "I One The Ice Cream Truck". The first time I heard them doing this exchange, I thought it was the corniest thing in the world. Emily absolutely loves it. You can, of course, substitute anything for the ice cream truck. It generally goes something like this:

Emily: I one the ice cream truck.
Adam: I two the ice cream truck.
Emily: I three the ice cream truck.
Adam: I four the ice cream truck.
Emily: I five the ice cream truck.
Adam: I six the ice cream truck.
Emily: I seven the ice cream truck.
Adam: I eight the ice cream truck.
Emily: You ate the ice cream truck! Daddy, you can't eat an ice cream truck!

Adam feigns hysterical laughter and Emily shrieks to break glass.

Ah, the joys of childhood.

Frustratingly Bad Turns Good

I finally got pulled off the wait list for the AHS 104 class, and I'm officially in. Last night was the first class, and it looks like this is going to be the most boring class I have taken. This class was originally supposed to be 15 students. In talking with the instructor last night after class, she told me that some how the schedule got screwed up and of the 4 sections that were being offered, this was the only one at night. Clear as mud, huh?

Fire the Bastard!

Unfortunately, I'm not talking about Shrub in this posting. I'm referring to Don Imus.

It's been on the talk shows today, and one of the lead stories on the nightly news, so I'm sure that everyone is quickly getting tired of the half-hearted appologies that Imus has issued. I feel for the Women of Rutgers, the Women of America, the Women of this Amazing Planet. It is a case of "open mouth - swallow entire body".

Hopefully, somebody will quickly realize this man does not belong on the public airwaves.

Not So Frustratingly Bad News - Part 2

So the frustratingly bad news has been upgraded to the "Crap!" classification. I talked to the Admissions Office today, and I have to retake the Biology course. CRAP! However, the upside to this is that I get to take it on-line, so I decide when I get to go to class and what I wear.

I'm still waiting on the AHS 104 thingy. I'm wait listed for the evening class, but I got into the Tuesday - Thursday morning class. Again, I say CRAP!

Blue Girl Rocks!!

Even Rebels Have to Tuck Sometimes

"Do I have to tuck?"
"Yes. You have to tuck."
"Why?!"
"Blue Kid, don't start. Just tuck!"
The Skimmer yells from another room, "C'mon, Blue Kid. We only ask you to tuck twice a year. Now tuck!"
"Why? Who cares? I hate the country club. It's so stuffy."
"Don't think of it as the country club. Think of it as free food. Now, tuck your shirt in."
We get to the club my parents belong to and are standing in the coat check line when Blue Kid leans over to me and says, "Nothing but old, rich white guys. It's like a Halliburton convention in this place."
I just love Blue Kid.

God, I just love Blue Girl!
