We are growing grass and marigolds in my after school program. We put one of each in the light and the other not near a window. One of my very young and naive students asked:
Student: “What type of grass are we growing? Hehe.”
Me: “Kentucky Blue Grass. What type did you think we were growing?”
Student: “I don’t know. Bulbasaur?”
I thought she was talking about weed and very upset that she would even joke about that because she is too young and sweet. Luckily she is obsessed with Pokemon and anime and not weed.
Vallejo is scary.
Garbage Games! We made at Benicia Middle School marble ramps out of the recycled snack wrappers and leftovers from other projects. #greatteaching
I’m ready for Orange Friday, too bad I won’t be at the game. #BeatLA
Me: I got 100 percent on my quiz!
Student: Are you really in college?
Me: Yes, I am getting another degree because my first was so useful.
Student: You’re not in high school?
Me: No, I graduated high school. Why would I go back?
Student: To get your diploma.
Me: I have one, I graduated from college.
Student: Yeah but, doesn’t your diploma expire and you have to renew it?
Me: No.
Today’s science lesson on where baby tigers come from.
Wreck-It Ralph was cool for a kids’ movie. Cars, Brave and the Muppets have all put me on suicide watch. This movie is watchable and has funny parts. John C. Reilly is good in everything, Jack McBrayer perfect for this part, Sarah Silverman is alright and Jane Lynch is way too old for the voice she portrays. I watch this not for me, but for my son. If it gets the above listed movies off the television I am pleased. We now have a steady rotation of Aladdin and this movie.
I will rate this an 80 out of 100. It has hard to compare this to non-kid movies. For a kids movie I would give it a 95 out of 100. I have already purchased the Blu-ray/DVD combo.

Oz The Great and Powerful was a great and powerful blah movie. There was nothing special I walked away from the movie with. It confirmed what I knew: James Franco is obnoxious and over, Zach Braff is a monkey, no CGI will ever compete with a good puppet or costume and I love Mila Kunis. Fortunately, I also learned: Michelle Williams looks old, Rachel Weisz could replace Anne Hathaway in any future movie and this movie and Wicked are two completely different prequels.
My rating for this movie is a 35 out of 100. This is lower than Ted. I at least laughed a little more at that movie. The two common elements of my least favorite movies of the year are CGI and Mila Kunis. Mila Kunis is a surprise, but I am so sick of everything looking so fake in movies. Star Wars IV, V, and VI are amazing with no CGI. Please try a goddamn puppet or costume. I am sure I will see at least parts of this movie again because my wife enjoyed it and will probably buy it. I just hope I can avoid that large mouth, squinty eyed, ridiculous smile of James Franco.
