Been a while since I made an "official" entry, obviously, but I just want to give a hearty "congratulations" to Denise, who finally worked thru the nightmare tangle with the idiotic Berkeley bureaucracy and got credit for a course where her outcome should never have been in doubt in the first place. The spectre of Summer school is exorcised, Denise is done, a Berkeley alumna, and the Summer belongs to her!
Congratulations!

Hey, not just mine, I'm sharing it with you too...

Ahhh, years of figure skating lessons, and all I really wanted to do was play hockey...it looks like so much more fun (and easier on a clutz like me)...
Posted by: Moggy at June 11, 2003 12:08 AMskatin' is pretty cool...esp. on a sno-white clean blog.
*plays the "figure 8" song from schoolhouse rock (the lamest schoolhouse rock song) and skates a figure 8 right under the lone blog entry*

Hmmm. Parrish is in bed and won't be back for another five hours or so.
What color do you think would look good, Shaw? Light pink to match his personality? (-Light- teasing of PDogg, as he knows by now I like who he is, I'd hope! ;^)
Posted by: Moggy at June 11, 2003 01:25 AMWhere did you graduate from college, "Pdogg"?
Did you go to Berkeley too?
*checks source code to make sure blog won't show up pink anywhere else*
No, I didn't go to Berkeley... I went to a very small college up in the mountains in Vermont. I still have pretty mixed feelings about having gone there, and while I got a lot out of it, I don't think I'd make the same choice if I had it to do over again.
Posted by: Zathras at June 11, 2003 10:01 AMI was thinking more like peuce.
And yea, I have mixed feelings about *that school* too.
Posted by: Shaw at June 11, 2003 01:14 PMSpeaking of which - had a real weird dream about "that school" last nite. It was nite, all snowy - all cold. Saw a lot of folks I haven't seen in yrs. I saw my friends John, Amy and Randy snowball fighting with each other up on the hill. John was laughing, stuck in some sorta snow hill.
This dream was not as bad as the dream I had few nites previous - I was flying a helicopter, trying to help Saddam Hussain's family escape Iraq. Didn't work - he got shot brutally. No, it's not somethin' I'd do in real life! Not somethin' I'd want to do either...
Posted by: Shaw at June 11, 2003 01:27 PMno - i cant find a meaning in either of those dreams...
Posted by: Shaw at June 11, 2003 05:51 PM"plays the "figure 8" song from schoolhouse rock (the lamest schoolhouse rock song)"
I must be lame, then, because that one was always one of my favorites. I love minor keys. And I thought the whole infinity ending was cool.
Posted by: Sparrow at June 12, 2003 01:46 AMno offense!!!
it was just so so ...flakey. It's the one song I can't watch on the DVD. That feminine voice got to me too much after awhile. I loved the string movements ... it just got too grating.
"puuuut 8 on it's siiiide and it looks liiiike - infiiiniiiiteeee"
ugh.
Gimme "The Tale of Mr. Morton" anyday.
Posted by: Shaw at June 12, 2003 02:10 AMIs that the one that's all
"Mr. Morton was nervous. Mr. Morton WAS
Mr. Morton is the subject of the sentence. And what the predicate says, he does."
UGH!!! I hate that song. I skip past it on the DVD, it's so annoying.
Maybe there's one Schoolhouse Rock song we both like. Do you like the Lucky 7 one with the rabbit?
I think my favorite was Conjunction Junction. :-)
Posted by: Zathras at June 12, 2003 07:13 PMI dug lucky 7 and conjuction junction...but my ALL TIME FAV. was "three is the magic number". Very mystical, very sweet, very cool.
I think about all those times - waking up early morning to watch ABC - Kaptain Kool and the Kongs, or even Superfriends, or even Big Blue Marble (a show NO ONE remembers but is desperately needed in this day and age :( )
...saturdays and superfriends, these are things I thought would last forever.
-Apples In Stereo
Please, somebody tell me I'm not the only reader here that is too young to know WTF *any* of what Shaw just referenced is... :^P
Posted by: Moggy at June 12, 2003 08:51 PMat least I didn't reference Vila Alegri or even Vegetable Soup.
Posted by: Shaw at June 12, 2003 09:06 PM(a faint voice from the mists of time...)
Anyone remember Mr. Science? Crusader Rabbit? Wonderama? Soupy Sales?
(faint echoes are heard, fading away slowly)
Posted by: Matt at June 12, 2003 10:37 PMCrusader Rabbit?
Yup. Looked kinda like Rocky and Bullwinkle ...
>Wonderama?
Kiiiiiiiiids are peeeeeopllle toooooooo
>Soupy Sales?
You mean pie guy? of course!
any more ol' kids tee-vee shows ya wanna throw out there?
Bonus points to parrish for (at least humming) the theme song to da big blue marble...
Posted by: Shaw at June 13, 2003 01:43 AMBeing ancient and decrepit, I remember all of those shows, actors and characters referenced.
Remember Liddsville?
"Oranges Poranges, who said you can't rhyme a word with oranges?"
Sigmund the Sea Monster?
Hong Kong Fooey?
Speed Buggy?
Hot Fudge? (Holy Moley!)
Banana Splits?
The Jackson Five cartoon?
The original Josie and the Pussycats?
Hoppity Hooper? (could there be a more annoying cartoon?)
Freakies cereal? (Who grew the Freakies tree?)
Remember when he used to be Sugar Bear and his cereal was Super Sugar Crisp before "sugar" became an evil word to put in cereal names? (I was a member of the Sugar Bear ecology club. Anyone here old enough to remember the ecology boom of the Seventies?)
Remember Quick Draw McGraw and Bobalooie? (El Kabong!)
Remember Secret Squirrel?
Remember The Electric Company? (Hey you guys!)
Remember Mr. Hooper? Remember the show when he died?
Posted by: Sparrow at June 14, 2003 01:11 AMI have a freakies refrigerator magnet on my fridge right now - Snorkledorf - www.freakies.com
Bananna Splits - Hoooold de Bus!
How about the Beatles cartoon?
I still have a Quickdraw McGraw record album somewhere...
Didn't the Jackson 5 and Beatles cartoons kinda look the same after awhile? Same animation etc.
I thought it was cool that they used "And Your Bird Can Sing" for the 2nd season opening. Introduced a lotta young 'uns to psychedelic stuff.
My ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex (ex-ex-ex-ex) used to go out on dates to that Yellow Submarine movie.
Other than that, I can't remember Lidsville for some reason (but remember all the other Kroft supershows). Don't remember that orange show thingee, but I can tellya The Electric Company got me reading (and I'm forever thankful for it).

Way cool!!!!!
I dated Joe Raposo's nephew for a few months but I never got to meet the great man himself because he died about four years before I met Gregg. The family was cool, though, and had lots of Sesame Street and Electric Company memorabilia that Joe sent them.
Does that make me connected to Kermit the Frog in three hops if I played "six degrees of separation"?
