Good morning! Getting ready to run 9 miles with Miss K. Blades is off at her mom's so she's not joining us today. I would rather be curled up in bed because (1) it's still dark out (2) it's freezing out there and (3) I'm still sleepy!
So, in order to wake up, I thought I'd listen to this ridiculous Narwhal Song. I don't even know what cartoon it's for..all I know is it's cracking me up.
Another plus for this morning..the House passes a health reform bill!!!
All right..off to torture my body! Happy Sunday Folks!
I was working out at the school gym and they have a nice TV with cable on it so I was watching AM on MTV because I need to know what the kids are listening to these days and this commercial came on! WT? Um, I know, I am probably late to the game but really shake weight...really?!?!?
It's just like that Schick Quattro Commercial!
But I was cracking up with this shake weight commercial. Because hello! yes, my mind went there!
And then I saw this on YouTube
um..ok Shake Weight..O.K.
Ok, one of my students showed me thing..(um..someone just started singing "blame it on the ..a..a.a..alcohol..." walking out of the library)..let me focus...Bourne 4 is coming out but this movie, "Green Zone" is just like all the Bourne movies!

Mark your calendars! Nov.14..I'm putting it in my calendar right now!
by a kid...
Last night, I chaperoned a school dance. I also agreed to dress up and help scare students in the haunted hallway.
Who knew it would be so dangerous?!?!
I was standing behind one of the curtains that lined up against the wall waiting for kids to come through. It was actually set up really nicely. They even had fog machines and lots of Halloween decorations, creepy sculptures, lights and a pretty good spooky soundtrack.
I was already at my station for about 15 minutes and I expected some pushing...I know, when I'm scared I hit. That's why I don't go to those haunted mazes and parks during Halloween...I'll fight someone. You just have to be honest with your self and admit that you can't do certain things. I hope this kid realizes that he just can't do scary.
So, I'm waiting, and a couple times kids were all "don't scare me." so I just hung back behind the curtain. Plus, it was kind of impossible to see through the mask I had on...
Then this group comes through and the girls are squeeling and there was this one kid. I noticed him earlier and I thought, "whoa. is that kid a high schooler?" Also when I got there, 2 kids tried to take the mask off one of the other teachers and totally scratched her face because the mask is this cheap stiff plastic. So I expected some reactions. But this kid...this kid was walking through yelling "don't scare me or I'll punch you in the face!" I was all "ok." and then I went flat against the wall. But this kid is punching his way through the hallway and clocked me right in the face. He hit me right on the nose and my upper lip and pushed that mask into my face and it fell off. I admit I was like "oh hell no!" I was like "who punched me in the face?!?" I come out and it's that kid! He's tall and hefty! He's all "oh...sorry." I'm like "no, you don't punch going through."
I took him out and told this teacher and this guy did nothing. I turn around because no one told me what the protocol was to deal with this and I was pissed. I turn around and the kid is walking away laughing. I grab another teacher and luckily he totally gave that kid a talking too. Thank goodness because honestly, nothing happened. That kid was still there dancing it out til the end of the dance. I also think some of my colleagues didn't believe me. At one point once of them said "oh he said he was patting the walls." I'm like my lip and nose wouldn't feel life this if he was patting the walls. Sorry, no. That sucks but whatever. I don't even think he was supposed to be there. Anyway, I think that's the last time I'll be chaperoning a dance for a while.
It was a fun idea but if you have people getting injured...not such a good idea.
Now my upper lip and my nose feel weird and are slightly swollen. Luckily it's not noticeable but geez man..if you can't handle being scared why are you going to go into a haunted hallway punching at the curtains like that...Just stay out.

I am exhausted. I woke up at 4:30am, then realized I could have slept another 30 minutes because I'm out of veggies to juice. So, instead, I drove slow and came to campus. I did my 30 minutes on the elliptical because of that dang 1/2 marathon in Jan and planned on only swimming for 30 minutes. I ended up swimming for an hour. I didn't want to but one of the morning swimmers ended up falling as she was trying to get in the gym (don't worry she's ok. I saw her bright and chipper at lunch today). Normally, she's just getting in the pool by the time I'm getting out and I can shower and not feel rushed. But it switched so instead of crowding in the little faculty locker room area, I just kept swimming..and swimming..and swimming. I ended up swimming for an hour!!
And tonight, I agreed to go to a halau dance practice at 6:15pm. I'm totally torturing my self for no reason.
BLERGH!
Off to teach the children about the importance of bibliographies.
Hope everyone's having an amazing Tuesday. 3 more days to the weekend and 2 more days before I eat at the counter...dang..it's still Halloween shake month...well, that's just an excuse to go again next month! Have a good one folks!
oh no...cat present. :(
Last night I went to see Scrabbel and Wonfu at Spaceland. Excellent show! I will have to post some Wonfu later for your listening pleasure. But during the Scrabbel set, Dan told the audience that they were doing a cover of a Kinks song. I went "Whoo-hooo!" because I love the Kinks and then the sound of crickets hit my ear. Really people? You don't know the Kinks? THE KINKS! What is wrong with the youth of today?!? Come on! It's the KINKS!!!!!
I suppose I shouldn't be so offended but seriously, they have influenced so many bands out there..and if not the Kinks at least Ray Davies. GAH!
Anyway, I have to say Scrabbel did an amazing cover.
But really...Waterloo Sunset? Who doesn't know that song? It's one of the best songs ever. (ok, this made me sound like an old person but whatever)
