happy halloween!

I quickly painted this for my son for trick-or-treating. Put glow-in-the-dark paint over the white and it really glows!

i hate leaf blowers

Autumn is by far my most favorite time of year. I will not allow my love for it be ruined by the fact that it is leaf blower season for my neighbor. He has that thing going daily for an average of 47 min. a day. ( timed him four times, that's my average. my husband did not believe the time)

Wake up Cat

I can so relate!

Freaks and Geeks - Ken and Amy Part I

i knew this time would come

so I've had this mini love affair with Freaks and Geeks I'm not sure why I didn't watch the series when it was on the air 7 years ago, I think it was due to the fact I didn't watch much TV then, or that I considered it to be a knock-0ff of "That 70's Show", or that truthfully I wasn't mature enough to enjoy it. I had such a miserable time in high school that spending my time watching fictional characters' high school misery was just not fun. Maybe the passing of time has allowed me to enjoy it. It was my love of Seth Rogen that led me to this awesome little show. I ordered the series through Netflix, and have very much enjoyed the experience. I'm so very sad it had to end, and a little bothered how the series ended. I so need to know if Daniel graduated, if Lindsay and Nick got back together, what happened to Sam. This is what I do know, Lindsay went on to ride The Mystery Machine and now is a nurse on ER. Kim moved to Dawson's Creek and is now a doctor on ER. Daniel was Spiderman's best friend and now nemesis. Sam is a chef. Nick is married to Willow and hang out with Doogie Howser. Ken knocked up some girl and now is a superbad cop. This show was just very funny.

Freaks and Geeks - Fake I.D.s

I knew one of these guys in high school too.

scented mousepad?

ponderings

so my son is watching a b-rated Pixar wannabe animated cartoon where the mouth movement doesn't quite match the words being spoken. I am fascinated with the origins of speech impediments, having known persons with some really bizarre ones. I had heard that it more beneficial that Spanish shows subtitle, as one can see the formation of words, unlike European television that dub in their language. I wonder what affect these shows will have on young minds trying to master their tongue. It is times like these I wish I had my doctorate in whatever science and a big college grant to do research on the subject.
