Almost There

Eight days and counting. I am going to Vegas on Friday, but I am leaving a little later, so I can help my students put on an Opera performance. My poor students have a hell of a week - a math test, a science test, a language arts test and an essay all have to be done this week. End of the year assessments suck. The math and science can be graded on the scantron machine, but the rest I have to grade by hand. I will be sitting by a pool on Saturday, grading not only their work, but the term papers from my college students. Don't you just love a working vacation?

I heard a crazy story on KROQ about John Roecker, who directed a crazy puppet movie about Charles Manson, called Live Freaky, Die Freaky. Anywho, he was wearing a home-made t-shirt that had a picture of Tom Cruise on the front that said SCIENTOLOGY IS GAY and on the back a picture of John Travolta saying REALLY GAY. Now that in itself if great, but he runs into Jenna Elfman and her husband (Danny Elfman's brother - now there are two VERY different people) and they start yelling at him about his shirt. I guess John says mean things like McDonald's is older than Scientology, and asks about General Zenu (See this site for the real insight into this odd cult) and the couple just turned into screaming mimis. The fight ends when Jenna asks what horrible thing she has done to make him act this way and he say that she makes crappy TV which prompted a loud F YOU from Jenna. Once again, the Scientologists provide great entertainment to the unwashed masses!
