1 So I have this thing on my teevee called a DVR. It's sort of fun because you push some random button and things suddenly appear, and you push something else and the same exact thing shrinks down. You accidentally push a button and some show you never heard of gets recorded, every episode up to and including the year 3000, and you push some other button and entire seasons you recored suddenly disappear.
2 So I now can record around four football games at once, and the commercials claim you never have to miss a game.
3 With any luck I won't have to get off my couch for at least six years. I could back sports up forever.
4 It's swell.
5 No need ever to talk to anyone again because I don't need to. I could just kick it and watch a million mindless things.
6 I'm pretty stoked.
7 Surfer term.
8 Means...uh...something cool.
9 Some fun.
10 Moving on: Yesterday I was going through classrooms putting up evacution maps for the custodians when I got to a room that was completely dark. The sign on the door covered any hope of looking inside. It said "Psychology".
11 Somehow it was a statement. I pictured this WAY nervous teacher huddled in the corner shaking, yelling, "Who is it? WHO IS ITTTTTT?!%!?????"
12 Moving on: Sometimes it's just the little things.
13 Moving on, Part II: One show I inadvertently recorded on that new device is called Most Outrageous Moments, a not-as-bad-as-it sounds show that has some pretty fun stuff.
14 A great moment was a video of a little kid being asked by a religion teacher, "And what does the story of Jesus and the wine tell us?"
15 The kid didn't miss a beat: "That when you run out of wine, get on your knees and pray," came the reply.
16 Ya gotta love it.
17 And so this is Tuesday.
18 Some fun.
19 Fear not.
20 Moving on, Part the Next: According to the commercials on regular teevee, it's practically Christmas. They've already begun advertising for tix to The Nutcracker.
21 I mean, come on! I just got done buying cheap summer toys for my class, like gigantic golf clubs, swimming goggles, and beach balls.
22 And I went into Big Lots the other day, just to get a binder, and they were already closing out Back-to-School items. Halloween has comfortably been around for almost a month already.
23 The last time I ever heard of the Nutcracker this early was when I had to catch for a guy named that when I was in Little League.
24 He had a pretty nasty curve, let me tellya. For around two weeks all the guys started calling me Lefty.
25 May I delete everything I've written for the last five seconds?
26 DEEE-lete.
27 Oy.
28 Tuesday.
29 Ain't no luck.
30 I learned to duck.
31 Peace.
