Month: February 2010 (Page 3 of 6)

I was already listening to talk radio when I moved to Baltimore, but once I found Ron Smith, it got really interesting. I like him because he has libertarian sentiments, but is very level-headed. He’s on in the afternoons until 6pm, so I can often listen to 15 minutes of his show on my way home. Sometimes I’ve even sat in my truck for a minute or two to hear the end of a conversation he’s having with a guest.

Over the snow day break, I discovered something wonderful: The radio station he’s on has a cable channel, and during his show they point a camera at him and let it run. I can watch his radio show! Now that school’s back in session, I can only catch the end of the show, but still… It’s Ron Smith! He’s on my TV!

I actually did some things yesterday. It was our last day off. The rest of this week we have two hour delays.

I finally staked the bloom spike on my bathroom orchid. I will be posting a picture of its blooms very soon now I think.

I did my wash. I was out of long-sleeved casual shirts. Maybe I need to buy some more. Time for another trip to Banana Republic for more copies of my favorite shirt?

I also went to school. It was my first time spent there since the snow came. I get so much more work done there than at home. I mostly talked with Debbie, but I also got some computer work done. And I put some new art on my classroom wall.

It’s my fault. The record amounts of snow. The days and days off of school. We’re off again today. And it’s my fault. I wore the Snow Tie.

On Thursday the fourth of February (the last time we had school), I really wanted to have a day off of school, so I wore my Snow Tie. It has the ability to make it snow. I didn’t know how powerful it had become. I didn’t know it would cause us to have six unscheduled days off (plus the two scheduled ones… plus two weekends). I won’t be wearing the tie again because I can only wear each of my ties once per school year. I don’t think I’d want to wear it again. It will stay on the “already worn” section of the tie rack. Until next year.

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a Valentine’s card from a cat before, but yesterday I did.

I went out yesterday! Yippee! First I went to see “The Lightning Thief”. It was a fun movie. Nothing amazing, but fun. I haven’t read the book so I can’t comment on that too much, but I did hear someone talking about it afterward and they said that Ares was completely left out. Poor Ares.

After the movie, I went to the mall. It was a madhouse. I guess everyone else was suffering from a little cabin fever too. I had a delicious Fuddrucker’s hamburger (it’s the closest thing to Culver’s around here), and did a lot of window shopping. While I was at Macy’s I saw some tiny Polo brand shirts. I’m not good at guessing sizes and ages and such, but I would say they were three-year-old sized.

I couldn’t believe how expensive they were. People spend this kind of money on a shirt that a kid will outgrow in a few months? Just a moment before I saw this, I decided that spending $30 on a shirt for me was too much, and I would’ve worn it for the next seven years. But I guess I have spent that much on a meal before, and I use that far shorter than a few months. So I guess it’s all relative.
