All of Admiral Ackbar's angles are obtuse!

ad_exiaSoooo I have been up since early o'clock this morning (read: 5am) to head over to an elementary school the next town over and teach kindergartners about stars. :D; It went pretty well, I must say, though keeping a bunch of little kids quiet for twenty minutes in the dark is nigh impossible.
I discovered, though (well, okay, I knew this), that nearly every TV show I like is apparently also liked by small children. Like kindergarten small. There was a plethora of Clone Wars shirts, not to mention some Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers. Kindergartners and I watch the same shows. I'm not sure if this makes me feel worse about it or just amused. I'll have to think on that. >>;
Though speaking of shows, I finally got around to downloading and starting The Mentalist, which is not a kids' show thankyouverymuch. And actually pretty good. I wasn't too sure about Jane in the first episode, but he's been getting much better. Lisbon is clearly teh awesome, and everyone else needs more screen time. :x But I shall certainly keep watching for now!
Well, last night was weird in the first place, given that I went to bed at midnight (gasp!) because I had to get up at 5. I actually fell asleep, but woke up at 2:30 (I blame Sashi), though I fell back asleep pretty easily again. Anyway. Said weird dream involved my being the only girl in the 1940's Marine Corps - well, not that there were no girls, but I was on the lines with all the guys, except "the lines" was... like, a row of picnic tables inside this larger school- or office-like building. I know Leckie was there, except I seemed to be hanging out an awful lot with my BFF Sledge. There were other girls around, but they were civilians, and I know that I'd somehow convinced Jen to come as a journalist (though I know she didn't want to be there and seriously, who wants to be on the front lines in a war? D:). Also, I recall going on a resupply mission with Nathan and Scott (apparently there as well?) through said building and running into British troops, which apparently included Edmund and Peter Pevensie (well, okay, not complaining), who... gave me their business card? I don't remember why. XD
The only other thing I can remember was having a lot of fun teasing Sledge. :D;; But it was nice teasing, I promise. ;D He didn't seem to mind all that much~ <3
... yeah, I don't know. It was just very vivid and I remember it really well. Also, Leckie and Sledge (and Peter and Edmund), feel free to show up more often. :D;; You can even bring Chuckler if you like~
Thaaaaat's about it. Now I'm going to putz around and fight with my programs until 2 when I need to show up for extragalactic-ph, but I already feel like I put in a full day's work even though I haven't done any "real" astronomy yet today. But since our Memorial Day barbecue was destroyed by an astronomy proposal, we're having one this afternoon so I have to leave early anyway. Hm. We're also doing some sort of RPG-related activity, I should remember to bring my stuff just in case.
