let all the children boogie

I think the Cosmic Wossnames are feeling bad about Monday, Day Of Hell, because they obligingly rained buckets all afternoon yesterday. This is, as you are well aware, balm to my soul. Today is equally cloudy and rain-promising, and things are Looking Up. Nice phone call from my dad last night, plus promises of kid mohair yarn, also helped. Also, the faculty manager has approved my day officially ending at 4pm, which means - yay! - I can resume Friday afternoon Angelfests with d_hofryn. (Although not this Friday). This resumption was clearly foreshadowed yesterday when the nice student's cellphone went off in the middle of a curriculum advice session with the Angel theme, which shows a degree of taste almost mitigatory to the iniquity of having your cellphone on in my office in the first place.

Random linkery! Because I have too much work to do (again!) to post properly. We have discussed, somewhat volubly, kiddie music in this venue in the past, and I feel obliged to pass on Zoogobble, which is a blog dedicated solely to - surprise! - music for kids. I hope this will materially assist all desperate parents, aunts and other purveyors of indoctrinatory music to the very young. The latest news is that BareNakedLadies are about to release a children's album, which should be worth a listen, yes indeedy.

And, on a not unrelated theme, Improv Everywhere, for whom I am vast developing a geeky passion, staged a "spontaneous" Food Court Musical. Their dedication to "scenes of chaos and joy in public places" makes me very happy.
