NOW I understand that Walrus song....maybe...no..not really...*sigh*

So my sister...I call her "Sara"....'cause that's what her name is....has this really important job and I'm sure a really nice desk and she gets to tell people what to do. But, even with her busy schedule, relatively new husband (Hi J-Man!!), and new house, she still finds time to post some really cool sites that lure me in like the net-whore I am keep me entertained for so much longer than is really necessary!!

Take this new site, GraphJam(please!!!) that she just blogged about the other day....it is full of fun charts and graphs and why, yes, some of them even do make you think!! One or two of them, I must admit, did confuse me and I had to resort to the "Cheat Sheet" to explain what the heck it was trying to say!! But, in my defense, they were musical-type ones and I wasn't familiar with the song and/or the artist!!!

Here are two (of the many) I really enjoyed.....

song chart memes

and.....this one....

funny graphs


**Go ahead...sing the song...all the way through 'cause you know you have to!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have a good weekend....hopefully tomorrow (Sunday) is Issei's school undokai, or "sports festival"or if you're in America, the "field day". I say "hopefully" because it rained all day today and the last we checked, the weather forcast was for "rain until the early morning"....will have to wait and see what the weather is like when I crawl my butt out of bed at 5:30!!!
If the day is "on" I'll make a bento (lunch) ....and then head over to the school. It's an all day affair and I'm on the "clean up" detail after it's over...I think I'm helping to take the tents down...better check to make sure. There should be some good pictures, so will post about it tomorrow night.

Have a good weekend....and since this is a holiday weekend (which I had completely forgotten about!!) , drive safely if you're going anywhere.

Utterly yucky weather here in San Diego too. Not your normal Memorial Day weekend--more like a Martin Luther King, Jr. day weekend!

HEY! The next time someone calls me a wiener I can just show them this graph!

I 've been using this snappy and HIGHLY intellectual comeback:

I know you are but what am I?

You can never go wrong with a classic Pee Wee Herman. ;p

You know, there's a nice teaching point there. "I wish I WERE an Oscar Meyer weiner" -- what a nice example of the unreal conditional. I'll teach my students the whole song.
