PROOF THAT ALIENS DID LAND IN ROSWELL

Sunday, December 13, 2009

Hi guys. Did you know being president of a company is a vacuum for the rest of life? Jeez I didn't know that somehow.

Anyway, when I am trying to live some semblence of life, I am usually at an ice arena. I thought I would share Sarah's performance from yesterday. People actually paid to see this one. We paid too, for entry fees and the costume. Now THAT is a good commercial enterprise - the workers pay you and so do the customers! I wanna see a balance sheet!



This is a particularly sucky video. It made me think about the act of filming.

When you are filming something like this, you are also trying to watch it. Wanting to watch > wanting to make a good film. So you get shakiness, not too much clarity. I'm hoping that the professionally shot video which comes in January, will be better. Because for them making a good film > watching the kids.

It made me think about Roswell. How could they have POSSIBLY made a good film? Finding alien life is so mind-blowing, the filming was probably secondary to the experiencing.

So there you have it. Sarah's holiday performance tape proves that there were aliens in Area 51. I will now take questions from the media.

Here's something from the show with not a lot of actual ice skating, but pretty entertaining.

HE'S THE MAN!

This is hilarious. Describes the pants wearing over here, too.

WILD THING

Monday, October 05, 2009

"Where the Wild Things Are" hits theaters on October 16. But you can view Becca's 1st grade class performing the story - this is from fall of last year!

It's hilarious - to save time, skip to 4:49, where you can see the Wild Things dancing their wild rumpus to Wild Thing. It's more entertaining than what you were doing 5 minutes ago, I'm pretty sure.

BENDY

Today's Saturday, and usually Becca has gymnastics. But today she is on a campout.

Still, it seemed fitting to share a snapshot from Becca's class with you. This should not be a surprise to those of you who knew Becca from her baby years, when she would flip gleefully over the back of a toddler chair, scaring the devil out of anyone who didn't know she could land it. She would flip herself out of her crib. She would do pushups with one hand on her car seat and one hand on the car door.

Needless to say, these household gymnastics were irritating for us parents. So eventually we fetched our checkbooks so she could do these same tricks in on gym equipment.

Is anyone losing the thread of logic with this?

Anyway, now she can do the splits, land a backbend from a handstand, and climb a rope all the way up to the warehouse-sized ceiling. Okay then. All I know is that if you ever see me in the position depicted here, please call 911. Because it is not going to end well.

Well. I guess I could strike this pose. But you would not be able to see my ribcage.
