Day 314: Playing with Glue

 

November 10th, 2011Today I revisited one of my favorite childhood fascinations: playing with Glue. I went early in the morning to Vietnamese class, where I took a moderately difficult Vietnamese test. I then proceeded to work, where as pictured above, I had to glue pages to envelopes. It’s been a while since I’ve had that sticky paste stick to my hand, but all these memories in turn have been positive. I went to Geetha’s place afterwards to chillax for a bit before going to Geisel to begin the rough draft of my COGN150 final paper (Due Monday). Hopefully I can finish it after the conference. I went home, ate noodles, showered, and then went back to campus where I would meet up with Phil, Paul, and Elizabeth outside Burger King as we discussed the Ron Paul meeting. At the event we talked about various issues (including our upcoming straw polls) after eating some delicious Little Caesar’s pizza while watching Ron Paul snippets from the debate. JOY! I then ended the night relaxing at Geetha’s place, which included watching some Louis C.K. – IN PREPARATION FOR THE ULTIMATE DAY OFF: TOMORROW.

On this day in 1969, “Sesame Street,” a pioneering TV show that would teach generations of young children the alphabet and how to count, makes its broadcast debut. “Sesame Street,” with its memorable theme song (“Can you tell me how to get/How to get to Sesame Street”), went on to become the most widely viewed children’s program in the world. It has aired in more than 120 countries. The show was the brainchild of Joan Ganz Cooney, a former documentary producer for public television. Cooney’s goal was to create programming for preschoolers that was both entertaining and educational. She also wanted to use TV as a way to help underprivileged 3- to 5- year-olds prepare for kindergarten. “Sesame Street” was set in a fictional New York neighborhood and included ethnically diverse characters and positive social messages. SUNNY DAYYYYYYYY WASHING THE CLOUDS AWAYYYYYYY

Psst. Do you wanna watch what will surely be one of your favorite Glee numbers ever? Seriously, this Adele mashup from next week’s episode (which was also Glee’s historic 300th number), will knock your socks right off. Not only do the Troubletones kill “Rumour Has It” and “Someone Like You,” but Santana (Naya Rivera) might bring you to tears with her haunting rendition of the latter. Why? YAY.

P.S.:
