lab excitement, freaky cat tricks and other things

Well had my first Environmental science lab today, I think it went well. I really felt the lecture I did went well and the students seemed to get into the activity. Of course I am probably the only one getting excited and upbeat at 8 in the morning (yes the lab is 8 – 2 although not every Saturday) talking about graphing and the metric system and independent variables and dependant variables and yes, well stop whispering geek already… :oP So lab should be fun as well as the lecture, the class so far seems to be a good group. Of course I need to see how many students come back next week. I also found a most annoying item – the current McDonald's happy meal has this line of toys from a cartoon series. And one of the toys is a character that if you push its arm down, it makes armpit fart noises. I kid you not. And let me just say, it is a very, very evil thing….. Been keeping busy at work, managed to push out a few projects so almost have some breathing room. There are a few...

movies and life

Right now I am watching Joe Vs the Volcano - it is one of my favorite movies. I find I like weird movies - not thoughtful or thought provoking or cinematic art or such... but weird dork movies. My favorites include things like Drop Dead Gorgeous Joe Vs the Volcano Hudson Hawk So I Married an Axe Murder Love, Actually Spoof movies in general (Vincent Price was in a spoof movie or two, can you name them) and such - actually I like a ton of movies and will not list them here but the currently being watched movie - dang I just laugh out loud and stand in front of the TV and the dialogue damn there are great quotes and I like it because you have to watch it - I mean I usually multitask and do this and that and that and this - but Joe is as much visual as it is audio Actually if you watch it with the sound down it tells a story and then listen only you get a different but neat story too (yes I have done both) But the allegory, allusion, illusion, and visual references in J V t V is incredi...
Funny how sometimes a song can capture your feelings and say them to the world so much better than you ever could. COuld tell people certain things you would never dare to.

A Philadelphia Musical Adventure

I hit Philadelphia today as the first of my 4-pack set Broadway at the Academy. The Kimmel Center has this 4 pack deal going on. So the first one was Pippen and it was not at the Kimmel Center - for some reason they had it at the Forrest Theater. First the venue was cool. A nice, theater and they gave me Row A seat 101 - damn, I was at the orchestra pit railing and could see the stage and the musicians - it was so Awesome. I liked looking down watching them play an watched them as much as the musical. Ok the musical - I think much of it left me in WTF land. I have to say the storyline/musical was weirddddd and had me using that acronym quite a lot. When they started dousing the main character in gasoline, I was okkkkaaayyyyy this is art.... and the couple of simulated sex scenes (oh boy..... those were intense and lots of eye candy.... lots.... but then again the story is about obsess, excess and unfulfillment) and the war scene had me going hooo boyyy. Again - the feel of the pla...
