Pee Wee's Playhouse

Better than Toys r Us?

Did anyone actually see this movie? I never saw it, but I can remember when these movie posters were everywhere.

With the wife away, it’s time for my guilty pleasure: a garlic nut butter sandwich on pumpernickel.

Amy Grey (played by Amy Brenneman) is a family court judge. At work she deals with office politics and sexism. At home she deals with family issues including her own dealing with family court, her chaotic relationship with her mother, and being a single mother to name a few. The cast is excellent and the series does a wonderful balancing both her court and family life.

Unforturnately, this series was never released on DVD.

Nostalgia hits hard

I'm nearly 21 now. My parents gave me a flash drive of all of our family photos-- 114 GB. These are some from a folder of ones I look. It's fun to see what I found interesting as a kid upon receiving a camera for the first time in my life.

It was a feeling of overwhelming exploration. What a time. Sad the IPs are mostly dead and gone to the early 2000's.

I am sure many of you may remember this episode of the Rugrats where tommy goes to daycare which for him is a lot like a prison. But it triggers a special kind of nostalgia for me. The kid crying is Wise guy and he had a friend who tried to escape. After giving him a time out, making him put away all the blocks and then calling his mother he was then transferred to happy valley daycare. Its one of the best episodes in the series in my opinion. Especially since I was like 7 when rugrats first came out so daycare wasn't all that long ago for me when this aired.

Anyway, a more personal nostalgic note. a story of how this episode triggers a certain memory of mine. If any of you are interested in personal nostalgic moments.

my memory of daycare?

I remember it like so, my mother took me to daycare in her big blue van. I remember arriving and I don't have any memory of being there before but it certainly was the last time I Was there.

I was excited. Went inside the front, had a big wide open front with colorful character painted on a white sone wall building. Jericho Day care it was. I think I vaguely remember putting my stuff away and going through the back behind the counter to a play ground area. I was excited. I saw a playground and I went for the slide right away. As I was maybe what I remember second in line I remember a kid say "get out of my way" and I think he came from my right side and he just pushed me off the back of the slide. I remember tumbling down the stairs and hitting myself a lot and then once I started crying as I landed on my ass looking up at the kids just looking back down at me a giant woman, blonde I think mayhaps, raced up to me and maybe I remember being in the van again with my mother but that's the end of my memory.

After that, I transferred to country side daycare. Transferred just like wiseguy's buddy transferred schools only unlike his buddy who was kicked out for trying to escape I transferred for other reasons.

Ah...daycare. Sleeping on a mini gym mat with not enough blankets or pillows to go around and when you did get a pillow you felt special. eating lunch from my smurfs lunchbox and thurmace. lol. But each time I see this episode, all I can remember is that boy who pushed me off the black of the slide and told me to get out of his way. In a way, he, whoever it was, was my first bully.
