what is with his hair??

This player in the NBA finals has the funkiest hair. Ben Wallace is his name. These few sentences are the most I will ever write about the NBA. I just don't find it all that interesting.

It's all about storage these days. We need it. I purchased this great pine armoire a few weeks ago. It's a reproduction and far more interesting than the mass-produced stuff and Crate n' Barrel and Pottery Barn. I wanted to avoid buying anything big from either place because everyone buys from those places and as Phoebe said on "Friends" (paraphrasing here), "if everyone buys from those places, then everyone will have the same things." So true, Phoebs, so true. You were the Philosopher Queen of that show. Right now, we are still living out of boxes. It's a real pain and it just looks oh so tacky. Don't really want to have anyone over mainly because of this reason. Anyone who knows me is painfully aware that I like to be the hostess with the mostess.

Started teaching summer school this week. So far, I have a decent group of kids. All seem to be hard working and eager to learn. The class runs from 10-1:50 on Mondays and Wednesdays, and it is tough to think of what the hey to talk about for that long. I show lots of clips and I'm getting real good at the Socratic method. Monday's lecture will be about action/suspense and parallel editing. Oh so thrilling.

About "Judging Amy"..they've started the series over yet again. So, I may have to find a new old show to watch and I must confess that I'm leaning towards "NYPD Blue". I never watched it when it was initially on because it seemed like that every week someone related to Sipowicz died. No one has that kind of karma. Not even an ex-drunk like Andy. But the show is growing on me. I've already seen the episodes where Victor Sifuentes dies and that gal from "All MY Children" is all mopey and stuff since those two were married on the show. Now, he's working with that kid from "Silver Spoons" and he's pretty good. Wasn't he the same kid in "The Champ"?

My next big project is to check out the 2 month old sea otter at the Shed. She'll have all the answers. She must... or..or....
