mr. obama as mr. darcy?

ok, if you didn't know that i have an undying love of pride and prejudice (not to mention anything jane austin or colin firth). i just reread and rewatched the bbc version so it's fresh in my mind. someone (aka green pants) sent me a ny times link to a maureen dowd article implying mr. obama in the role of mr darcy. it's a little bit of a stretch, but it connects all my favorite things together. read it here.

...and it wasn't until last night that i realized i haven't watched all of arrested development in this world. oh my god! how i thought my life was complete and there was no more happiness to be had...but there is...oh how there is...oh how i love season three. i will savor each and every mole destroying a small city, every time michael gets clobbered by a puppet and anything george michael says or does. god bless america.

cleo has fallen in love with fierce's dungeon. it takes a lot to get them both in there.














and this is my favorite classroom picture from this year. because of the nature of a garden classroom, there are a lot of funny things written on the board and the kids ask for help spelling lots of funny words. so we end up with lots of very funny things on the board.
