Heh. The show is called Fetch -- it's OK. It's school-aged kids doing cool (sciencey?) things at the direction of this animated "dog" (?). [link]
I'll just say, it's no Carmen Sandiego.

I was going to complain about Franny waking the whole house at 5:30, but after reading about msbelle's morning, I'm feeling a bit more grateful. At least Franny peed in the toilet--after I reminded her she could go there on her own, sans parental supervision. Oy.
Spongebob is insipid, just in case we're now shouting out our opinions on the matter. But my kids are kind of tv show impaired. I don't know how I managed to give birth to two kids who don't like watching tv or movies, but there you go.
The latest obsession in the house? Nanos.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I haven't watched Nickelodeon in a long time -- I don't really watch the non-HD channels any more. But this week, my cable company started carrying Nickelodeon HD, so I checked it out a little. I'm confused -- it seems like Sponge Bob and iCarly are the only shows it broadcasts, is that right?

Up until 3:30 then back up again at 6:30. Yay?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yes, I considered divorce, in that "wait, 15 years and NOW I discover this?" sense.
I think my sister had a similar reaction when they found she was pregnant and her husband pulled out the periodic table to look for baby names.

I told him that what I love about the city is its shifts in neighborhoods, how an old South-side synagogue from the 1890s is now a Baptist church, and that the Bohemian community of Pilsen is now a Mexican enclave.
I love this about cities too. I couldn't wait for my FiL to see In The Heights - when he was growing up there it was a very different place.

Fetch! is great. I mean it's not something I'm going to sit down and watch, but it's a great show for kids. SpongeBob is okay, but it gets old pretty quick. I like Phineas and Ferb so far even though it's same formula every single time (though that could be said of a number of adult sit-coms).

My dad grew up around there, too. He didn't want to come with us to see the musical, though.
