you know it could have been so fine

Oops, it’s the end of the week and I’ve been a blocker again. It’s not entirely my fault: I had a stealth busy week. Summer classes started and I’d forgotten (from last summer) how intense they are — 3 1/2 hrs long (!) twice weekly. And I had a PTA-ish meeting at Gus’ school one day, and a Food Coop meeting another evening. And yesterday I got my library on at the LACUNY* conference. I presented in a session with some of the folks I’ve been interning for, see if you can find me (goofy photo and all).

Now it’s the weekend and apparently I still have nothing to say.
I feel like I saw Gus for about 2 minutes last week, but that doesn’t seem to have bothered him much. Today he and Jonathan combined Spongebob and fine artisanal craftsmanship by making paper. Recently Gus has been moved to fits of hilarity by the part in Krabs vs. Plankton where Spongebob shreds a dollar bill in a blender and Mr. Krabs freaks out. He wanted to shred a real dollar, but we didn’t let him. So he got a bunch of paper and a green marker and drew 20 one dollar bills. Of course, then he wanted to shred them in the blender. When Jonathan mentioned they’d need to add some water, Gus immediately said “let’s make paper like I did in school!” So they did. Damn school, always making our weekends so messy with their creative learning projects. It’s drying now, we’ll see how it turns out in a day or so.
P.S. (mostly for Anne but also for other interested parties!) Read this article about Paul Reubens right now! He is a comic genius.

I know, I am much more krabby than I used to be!
We’re all indebted to the Playhouse! That 3d movie sounds wonderful. I remember when Marni made me see the first one about 3 or 4 times in the theater.
Things you never thought you’d have to say: No, you can’t shred real money in a blender like Sponge Bob. We have become Mr. (and Mrs.) Krabs, and it ain’t pretty.
