Free Agent Frenzy = love

Fucking a’!

We’ve had this mouse (whom I’ve named Ralph after Ralph and the Motorcycle) make an appearance in the apartment from time to time in the past 2 months without any luck of us catching him. He’s tiny and he’d be cute if he weren’t a stray mouse! We’ve had this little black box trap set up ready to go but he’s been sneaky!

I got home today from work and I’m chilling on the computer when Mommy got home from hanging out with Kitty when she noticed the door to the trap is closed! w00t! Except for one problem: neither Mommy or I can bring ourselves to touch the box to throw him out! This leads to Mommy second guessing if Ralph is trapped and thus causing me to second guess myself. After freaking out, she says call Shelly as she figured Shelly would do it…so I did and she agreed (or rather she agreed to bring Yecenia to throw it out for us). Great!

Not so.

They get here and shake the box and lift the box…but nothing. You can’t feel a mouse in there, can’t hear it, doesn’t make any kind of thunk or scratching when the box was kicked or shaken. So Shelly and Yecenia tell us, nope no Ralph and I figure ok, they’re right because what do I know about catching mice? I open the trap ready to set it again when out of the freaking trap comes none other than Ralph scuttling toward the oven!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!! Ralph is on the loose again and I go to bed another night nervous that a mouse could potentially climb a wall and into bed with me :(

In other news…

It’s July 1st so it’s FREE AGENT FRENZY! I love Free Agent Frenzy and seeing where everyone goes! So a few thoughts:

-Does Chicago feel now that they won the Cup, they feel “hey, we can wait another 50 years for another win!” Seriously Chicago, can you stop trading your team away…it’s getting a bit ridiculous.
-It makes me giggle that Adam Burish who made fun of Chris Pronger isn’t a Blackhawk anymore. Jerk!
-I love Antero Niittymaki <3 However I’m quite depressed the Niittyshark (as phrased by my LJ friend who is a Thrashers fan) is now a Shark! At least when he was in Philly or Tampa, they’d play Washington often enough! I don’t get Sharks games here! I guess there is adthe.net when I need a Niitty fix.
-I’m kind of confused though as much as I love Niitty…who gets rid of Nabokov and then decides on Niitty for a number one goalie? I’m really curious now to follow the Sharks season with a Niitty/Greiss tandem! This is his chance to prove himself :)
-I’ll be happy when someone that’s not the Caps picks up Theodore. However, I’m not so sure how I feel of a tandem of Varly/Neuvy in goal – it could be wonderful or it could be disaster.
-Why did the Habs get rid of Halak for Alex Auld and Curtis Sanford? Do you really have that much faith in Price? I know I don’t and I’m not a Habs fan!
-I really like the signing of Martin Biron as a Ranger except I’m really confused by the Islanders. They’re going with Roloson and DiPietro…who hasn’t played a full season in 3 years?!? That’s what happens when you sign your soul to a goaltender who can’t play.
-I would like to know why Jody Shelley is so hated.
-Boogaard is a horrendous last name!
-I get confused every time I go to the hockey TSN site and they talk about a capital situation and I think they’re talking about the Caps only to remember it’s a Canadian site and thus they’re talking about the Ottawa Senators.
-Actually I take that back on the goalie situation in Washington…dear Caps who I adore…please get Nabokov or otherwise please keep Theodore? I don’t want to see any of the other free agent goalies as a Caps player and I don’t like the idea of Varly/Neuvy! Kthx!

Calling whine one one!

I’m exhausted. I worked all day and then hung out with Jake (i.e. babysat) until about 9…seriously going to be so glad for break next week!

I’m not sure how much of a coherent entry I can make because all I can think about is crawling into bed but I had some random thoughts that I kept making mental notes to myself to save to expand on in an entry but I figure I might as well just make an entry of my thoughts today…

-I don’t understand sometimes how my students cannot add basic numbers when they are given a) a number line b) a calculator c) an addition chart and d) they have 10 fingers! Seriously it amazes me that 5+2 can go over their head but ask them anything about anything else not related to school (i.e. Rey Mysterio, dogs, Naruto, Spawn, girls, Las Vegas, Washington Redskins, celebrities, how to run your life, etc) and they could tell you from A-Z.
-Do students really not realize how obvious they are when they’re faking illness to get out of work?
-Rey Mysterio fails at life. Your signature move should also not be named after the San Diego area code.
-I’m not very sympathetic to tantrums. I’ve also no sympathy for teachers who cater to tantrums and then wonder why their student repeats their behavior. Well duh you gave into them and let them escape doing their work!
-I’m apparently a horrible person according to my students because I make them do work! Oh Em Gee. Call the cops. Better yet, call a whambulance because otherwise I don’t want to hear it!
-Six Flags on Thursday should be interesting as I have 3 students in my group that I’m in charge of and they’re quite awesome … I just hope it’s going to be a good day!
-Either way it doesn’t matter because I’m not working with Jake on Thursday night and Friday is a half day with potential happy hour at night with people from work!
-Just because I’ve only been working for a month does not mean I cannot be excited for a 2 week vacation! I’m damn well going to be excited and I’m going to enjoy the 2 weeks of being a bum!
-Starbucks guy should not be offended at what I say to him! He told me he wanted to help me pick out food and tell me about each item and I responded, do you not think I can read? How was I supposed to know he wanted to tell me about his taste palette? Furthermore, do you think I really want to hear about your taste palette? No it was not a low blow, you just annoyed me! You also annoyed me by not finding me a wrap so therefore you fail.
-Best news in the mail today! I got my contract in the mail for the fall for the synagogue and after 2 years of working there, I got a raise! It’s about time! And apparently I’m working both sessions so I cannot complain!
-I do not appreciate being felt up by an 11 year old or being asked if I’m pregnant! But it’s hysterical because he doesn’t realize how obvious he’s being when he tries to cop a feel so it’s hard to keep a straight face in reprimanding! Am I a horrible person?
-In listening to Eyal Golan’s song, Jungle…I can’t help but wonder if he really thinks Africa is one huge jungle?
-I wonder why at any Jewish wedding I’ve been to (with the exception of Lelia’s), I always hear the song Balbelli Oto (Confuse Him) by Kobi Peretz. While I adore the song, I wonder why a song called Confuse Him being played at a wedding? Should all confusion be done with?
-Glee=<3. Enough said.

Odd thing I realized today thanks to Dana and I’m quite amused to know this…my birthday is September 2nd. This year it is:

9/02/10.

It took me a second and if it’s taking you a second, it’s 90210 – like the tv show (which I used to love as a kid!). Knowing this makes me smile because my birthdate is awesome as it was and this just made it 9232958958x cooler.

Dear Michael Leighton

I was a bit doubtful that you would start in goal tomorrow but I’m glad that Laviolette chose you to start in goal. I just hope you and the rest of the Flyers can pull this off tomorrow and force a game seven! I will be rooting for you! Please please please don’t fail.

Love,

Me

And with that, g’night!
