Here's a link for a trailer to the movie Alien Trespass which I saw at film club a week or so ago. It was an entertaining homage to the 1950's movies like "It came from Outer Space."
If that is your thing then I recommend it.
My mail app on my iphone is broken. Jack played with it last night and actually made the problem worse. Its been weird not having access to mail 24/7 but really do we need that anyway?
Jack's Cinnamon roll recipe was included in a cookbook celebrating the 50th birthday of our city. We figured it had been rejected because he never heard a peep out of the organizers after submitting it but I saw the cookbook yesterday at Paddy's coffee shop and there it was. The other recipes look interesting. A few standbys and a a few flavors I've never tried.
I spent 4+ hours getting my car fixed yesterday. The first one was them diagnosing the problem and doing an oil change. Then they came in and told me what they needed and I said go ahead - He thought the part would be there in an hour and a half and that they would be ready to put it in and the car back together. It of course didn't arrive for close to 3 hours and so I sat and waited - A cab seemed so wasteful, but by the end I'd wished I'd just left my car. I did use my iphone to entertain myself - I played a few games and watched the Oscars on You tube. I also managed to find Animated short that won which I thought was a bit depressing in so many ways. I now really wish the Octopus's in love one had won - it was on CBS Sunday morning and is worth a watch. I also enjoyed the Lavatory Love Story - it was very cute.
Not really. Its just I tend to update my facebook status so often I feel like I've been blogging. Not fair to those not on facebook (Dad!).
Keeping busy with the Parent run Art Program at school and helping Megan's teacher level books using a new leveling system. I'm holding my breath on the budget cuts education is facing here in California. I fear for Megan as they talk about getting rid of class size reductions and media teachers, along with other special teachers, Assistant Principals, busing, and Staff. Education is changing and fear not for the better. I actually wrote letters to the governator and all state representatives, but education seems to be on the hit list. Our local school district cut 7 million last year and now is looking at cutting at least 4 million more this year with additional 3 million and 2 million in the following years. Its not a big district, so basically were already bleeding. There is no fluff left to cut.
