I forgot to mention last week that I went to the movies with my girlfriend . . . well, my "friend girl" as I called her since it was pretty clearly on the way down in flames shortly thereafter . . . anyway, I went to the movies with "her" last weekend and saw Grindhouse. Did I already mention this? Anyway, if I didn't, I was hugely disappointed. I mean, I'm a Tarantino fan and all, but I was expecting something more like Kill Bill, but I got more like From Dusk Til Dawn. This is sounding familiar so I'm assuming I wrote this already. I was only using it as an excuse anyway to review Weekend at Buddy's. I give it 2 snaps, the kickworm, and a full windmill breakdance! (Guess you had to have watched In Living Color before . . . 2 snaps with anything is like 2 thumbs up)
Swope Middle School . . . ahhh . . . a Swope Alumnus. I remember the shakey handed, coffee dependent, well intended counselor named Ms. Rodowski at Swope. I used to work there. I think it was the year 1994-95. Could DTS have been a former student of mine? I doubt it. In fact, I know he wasn't, since I only got the knuckle head kids that got kicked out of class. I wasn't given any budget or resources so I took them out to shoot baskets on the basketball court and to talk about their problems while they shot freethrows like Shaq. I remember one of them being in the news for having shot someone a couple years later. A shame.
I had to take my dog Koko, spelled Koko, unlike dts' dog, to the vet this weekend. I got home and right away noticed my dog favoring her left front paw. Good parents notice things like that I guess. My first thought was to grill mom about what happened to my dog over the past two weeks that left her limping. I didn't, but I did ask her. She said Koko hadn't been that way until just then. Yeah right. She was great for 2 weeks and just happened to start limping right when I drove up. Anyway, I gave it a day and took her to the vet when it was noticeably worse the next day. A couple hundred dollars later, I didn't know much more. There's apprently some kind of weird thing on her doggy pinky toe. Not that pointless digit away from the others, but the pinky one. She got some meds and an order for R&R until she finished her pills. Then another x-ray in a month to see if the weird thing grows. If it does, Koko loses her pinky toe. She's a nearly 11 year old Akita so complications are bound to happen. She's incredibly lively and puppy-like still so I don't think of her as 77 years old in dog years. Hopefully she'll be fine.
Well have a great final week fellow Hurlers! Let's kick booty this week!

Ahem.
I could not have been a student of JMF's for a handful of reasons, and will list the most notable below:
1) I was in Reno for only one day in 1994, and it was while driving to Sacramento for a rafting trip on the American River. I did not move to Reno until college.
2) While in middle school, I was totally the kind of knucklehead who got kicked out of class. Sadly, however, I was not in middle school in 1994 or 1995.
This is all I've got to do. It's the last week, so let's all hurl missles like we're in the Bush administration. Woot!
