One Big Word Deserves Another

Dad, interrupting his reading of an Aesop's Fable: "Jonah, do you know what 'woebegone' means?"

Jonah: "In despair?"

I mean, really.

An Interlude

We interrupt the news of the year/month/week/millisecond to bring you a few very California Christmas pictures:

Weekly News 5

Sorry. Am I running behind? I'll just type extra. I just didn't have enough information to type news. OH, DRAT! We went home from Santa Barbara and I had to go to the doctor so badly. Every morning my eyes were red and I know it was either the dog's hair, the cat's hair, or that I slept under an accidentally put feather comforter. The next day, I went to a doctor's office in Orinda and now mom is the one who's sick.

    Use one letter after in the alphabet to decode this message only on the next line.. If it is z, then I mean a.:

2012 Yearly News

    On yearly news, I summerize the year and make predictions for the next year. I ...

don't think I'll get any presents from Santa. I've been bad all year. "SANTA, I GIVE UP. GIVE ME NO PRESENTS. UGGGGGGGGGGH."

    That's the news.. Here's the prediction:

    No prediction this year.

    Can you rewrite these words correctly?

    Wuun, toooo, taharee, for, feyev, zix, zevonn, ayt, neyen, htehen.

    Ilehvin, tooelv, thirteeeeyn, 1teen, fiv5, 168, sevtn, eighten, ninten, winty.

    That's it!

    Nate, to sincerly yours.

Weekly News 4: Part 2 of 2: A Planetarium Party

    Hey you! Yeah you! This is your chance to hear about Jonah's birthday party. I will demonstrate shortly how it went in one sentence:

    It was great.

    On a comment, I would like you to rewrite this paragraph with no mistakes:

Once in 1776 weeh ad a Reveloshinare Wor and a Bastin Te Party. Pol Rivir woss very impauortintt in teh wor. i saw is tatoo i olsou wehent On hte trayl fredim ANd tHE fredim trel was ehextereaemlee lanG.

    This is short news and some interesting volleyball games are:

    Hawaii was hosting and USC beat them 3 sets to 2.

    Minnesota won a pretty hard game against Washington, the eleventh team in the country, but lost Iowa State.

    And FSU (or Florida State) beat Perdue.

    But finally, today, which is December 10th, Texas is playing UCLA, but USC will probably beat Pepperdine.

    Here's a challenge to do at home:

    Can you type in a sentence where every word starts with the same letter? Try every letter ofn the alphabet.

    Sorry! I'm suppopsed to have 3 surveys next week: I hope you come back on the 16th for the next news.

    Presented and hosted by Nate

OK. I'm about to type the next part.

Weekly News 4: Part 1 of 2: The 2 Exausting field trips

Hi! How are you doing? I just fought so many hard bosses in Kirby's Return To Dream Land and beat about half of them and I get really kinetic when I almost lose a boss such as Dubior or the Grand Doomer so I might have grammar mistakes. For example, I might want to say seen and accidentally write scene. Now, 4 days ago, I went on an EXAUSTING field trip with all of lower school (not 5th) but K-4 to Marin Headlands and we did a lot of hiking. When I got home, I was tired. Yesterday, I went to sing at The Berkshire, a seniorhouse. WAIT! 3rd round volleyball is on tonight!! I wanna watch the Hawaii versus USC game. Hawaii is probably gonna win, but dad hopes it's USC. If you are guessing, remember that Hawaii is hosting, so Hawaii will have home field advantage. SWEET 16: WHICH TEAMS WILL WIN THEIR BRAQUET AND MAKE IT TO THE QUARTERFINALS? And the semifinals & finals, this year, for Division I, San Antonio, Texas. Aren't you sad that the huskies lost against Minnesota? Remember that Minnesota is hosting, and if you want to see results, go to http://www.ncaa.com and go to women's sports and go to vollyball. You can probably figure it out from there. Instead of Donut Games news, I'll show a link you may want to go to:

    http://vaisikahema.football.cbssports.com And if you go to that, you'll see dad's fantasy football league.

Gems of the Day

From Nate's report on his class's good-cheer-bringing field trip to a seniors' home: "We spent good time rehearsing there.  We were gone from 9:45-11:15, as expected."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Jonah: "When I'm older, I want to go on a road trip with Kate and Zayna and all my other friends."

Me: "That sounds like fun.  Can I come?"

Jonah:  "Of course!  You're gonna drive!"

December Monthly News: Monthly News 2: Part 1 of 1

It is Jonah's birthday! Somehow, it says "Jonahjonah.com" on this link: http://www.typepad.com/site/blogs. Now, here's a math problem to solve: 5, 8, 1, 6. Solve for x. Then, I get 13, 9, 7. Then I get 22, 16. And finally, 38. So x = 38. Here's a challenge:

    x is a measurement. If I have this line:

    __-___________-__________-_______-___________-____________-___ and the second dotted line is 40 in. but the third is 198 feet, then how long is it between 2 dotted lines? Now, the weekly specials:

    Can you carry 800 stacked trays that are unstable 30 miles with everything balanced? Here's the survey:

    In the past month,

    1. ________________________ How far on the line would you say the number of new degrees of separation?

    2. How many times have you tripped?

    3. How many words do you think you've written?

    4. How many words do you think you've typed in?

    5. What was the most recent thing you did?

    6. If you were to summarize November, what would you say?

    7. / / / ? The first fraction is the number of times you spilled a liquid over the number of times you spoiled a solid. The second fraction is the number of solids you think you have in your house over the number of liquids you think are in your house. Then divide the fractions. What do you get?

    See? That was a long survey! Now, here's a song that was on a football advertisement that has sad notes you may really like:

    I want to sit you down,

    I wanna make you a crown,

    Oooooooooooooooh, Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    I don't need you anymore,

    When I'm in the store,

    Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    And I, I got the lyrics on don't stop wrong. Here's the right lyrics:

    Ooey oo oo oo oo oo oo oo ooey

    Walk little, walk small talk big thoughts gonna tell 'em all just what I want

    That street, 2 streets, I see you and me hanging on the empty swings

 I don't know the next part, but then,

 One shoe, two, gonna kick with my new shoes I'm gonna kick until I need new shoes

    Chorus:

    Yeah, Yeah!

    I said don't stop don't stop don't stop talking with me

    Stop, don't stop, don't stop giving me things

    Next verse:

    I run, they run, everybody run run and we're all just having fun

    I don't know this one, but next is

    1, 2, 3, close your eyes and count to 4, I'm gonna hide behind my bedroom door

    Crayons on walls, I'll color on the wall I'll draw until I've broken every law,

    Chorus:

    And then the chorus gets extended this length:

    Stop, don't stop, don't stop laughing about it,

    Stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop.

    Well, I hope to see you for weekly news 4, but the next monthly news will be until February 2012.

Nate
