Did anybody catch 30 Days last night? I fell asleep early, but DH said it was really good.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Happy birthday, askye!
No feline or other alarums in the night, and it's not hotter than hell. I ran into an acquaintance I want to know better on the subway and chatted happily for a few minutes. This is not the worst way to start a morning....

The Boston Globe had a favorable review of 30 Days yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to try it out.
I did manage to watch both encore showings of Veronica Mars last night. People who know how loath I am to sit still during just one episode of a TV show may be duly impressed that I voluntarily clicked to the second episode on my TiVo immediately after watching the first. I might well be caught....

I checked F/X's schedule--they're replaying 30 Days on Saturday and Sunday (but late, 12:00 a.m.). I set the DVR to record. DH LOVED it--and he really dislikes most reality tv.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy birthday, askye!

Which I read as pottery slams. Fun, sure, but maybe not in school.
Jen, I have leeway. Maybe I’ll include a shatter-and-hum event to the evening.
the girl being written up for doing the perrito (doggy style) dance toward/on a (white) teacher? Hilarious.
BWAHAHAHA! I not only wouldn’t write the kid up, I’d probably fall down laughing so hard she could step over me.
Today is apparently "Let's do lewd and inappropriate dances at school day" in NYC because I got to see a thrilling performance to "Gasolina" and watch a class full of Puerto Rican kids try to explain to their very nice and infinitely patient non-Puerto Rican teacher what Reggaeton is.
I think every day can be that day at school. Is it wrong that reading about all these naughty kids is making me more and more excited to be teaching mostly Latino kids?
Did I mention that? My school that I just got hired at is a charter school in a mostly Hispanic part of town. There about 150 kids in the school – 85% Hispanic, 14% African-American and 1% White.
I’m so fucking JAZZED.
Are you at all familiar with Daddy Yankee, Kat? He has a hit out now, "Gasolina", that is kinda what the reggaeton thing is all about. It's a style of Puerto Rican dance music that mixes dance hall beats with salsa and rap en espanol. It is very good music for to make with the lewd and inappropriate dancing.
One of my girls was a huge Daddy Yankee fan, and played that song whenever I’d let her get away with it, but I didn’t know that it was reggaeton. Cool. New things learned today: reggaeton and perrito, and it’s only 9 a.m.
Huh. I would love to see the OED citation so we could see when and how it was first used.
I bet it was first used in an argument about sheep.
BWAH!!! Spittake.
