Cat Blogging with Ciaupilli

Cat and Ciuapilli Blogging.

Pilli and Mom Blogging. 

Ciuapilli Blogging For September. 

Last one for Fridge set. 

These are for Amy's classes. 

These are for Amy. 

so many reasons why, but the death under his watch (culture of life my ass) is ridiuculous. This country is ashamed of what is done in our name and rightly so. The world is ashamed of us, understanding but nonetheless disheartened. How could this happen in America? Too many issues, but all F*d up in my opinion. Bush should be impeached for this crap. Don't blame the mayor of New Orleans or Govenor. They have very limited resources, FEMA is suppose to step up and do what needs to be done that hasn't happened and people's heads should roll.

I did not put up a pilli picture this week because there was nothing bigger than this in my eyes. Few chicanos are suffering, but there are some. Most of them are very recent imigrants and I hope the Mexican counluate can help them and find them. Poor white people are suffering too.
For all the great things this country does and has done, this is not one of them. I hope this makes the entire country reflect on our definencies and tries to correct them by giving up on the so called compasionate conservatives and this enboldend the Left to fight for our rights and humanity.

Kanye West is the man telling it like it is, plus his album is great!

Unhappy days

Today, this page mourns the dead , the dying,
and the American ideal.

At this moment, people are dying in New
Orleans while a smirking, arrogant son of
privelege institutes half measures designed
more to boost his flagging popularity than to
save the lives of a class of people he detests.

Despicable.

Money won't help those doomed by presidential
neglect, but it may help those who survive it.
Please consider helping out if you can.

Happy surprises - Ciuapilli's Godmother

Would Jesus want war?

Movement

A word that has the ablity to encompass many things. It is one of my favorite words, but what always facinates me the most about a movement or movements it that we typically don't realize they're happening when we're in them. We tend to focus on the beginings and the ends of movements however small or noticable. But as they say in the movie Garden State, your so in it right now. Its about being and transending the movement because as with most of life it is very fleating and short lived.

Speaking of movements- Ciuapilli recieved her first teacher praise today. her is the reproduced text of said note-

teacher Erin Sheahan-

Today at small group Ciuapilli worked with beads and string. She filled the entire string with the same color bead ! During the work time Ciuapilli tried many activities such as puzzles, experimenting with musical instruments, and playing with friends in the pretend area.
Ms. Sheahan

So proud of our daughter, she's seems to be adjusting well. I was not that excited about her going but she enjoys the new surroundings and active attention she gets. And as her nerdy parents I think she like school. But were hands off and not pushing her into calculus just yet but we might get ansy one of these days. For the movement of Ciuapilli's education in academics and larger society has begun. Heres for hoping for the best.!!

This little one is done with one week of school.

Movie to watch

Latin groove act Ozomatli has recorded the song "Casas de Cartén" (cardboard houses) for the U.S. release of the film "Innocent Voices." Considered an anthem of hope amongst the people of El Salvador who struggled to survive civil war and earthquakes, the song was once officially banned by the Salvadoran government.

"Innocent Voices" was directed by Luis Mandoki, who co-wrote the script with Oscar Torres, a Salvadorian who based the story on his own life experience. The film follows an 11-year-old boy in the year leading up to his mandatory enlistment in the army.

Screened over the past 10 months around the world, "Innocent Voices" received best film honors at international film festivals in Seattle, Bangkok and Berlin. Distributed by BB Entertainment Marketing, the film is scheduled to open Oct. 14 in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Miami, New York, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington D.C.

Scrubs

4.05 "Her Story." From MOPNT:

CAFETERIA

J.D.: Half of what rappers say doesn't make any sense. Like that Snoop Dogg-Dr. Dre song? What does "still hittin' them corners and those ho-hos girl" mean?

Turk: Many disadvantaged African-Americans have limited nutritional choices, therefore they must subsist on Ho-Ho snack cakes. It's a black thing, bro.

Molly: Actually, Turk, it's "still hittin' them corners and them 'lo-los' girls." Lo-los, not ho-hos.

Elliot: See, Turk, in the 'hood, a lo-lo is a lowrider, or a car with an adjusted suspension that allows it to bounce up and down.

She and Molly demonstrate the movement with their hands, much to J.D.'s amusement.

Elliot: And Dre and Snoop enjoy driving around together in their lowriders around the corners, or lizzle-rizzles.

Elliot: [rapping] I'm representin' for them gangtas all across the world!

Molly: [rapping] Still hittin' them corners and them lo-los girls!

Elliot: [rapping] Still --

Elliot
& : [rapping] -- taking my time to perfect the beat, and I still got love for the street!
Molly

Carla: Turk! You just got schooled on rap by the two whitest chicks in America!

Turk: None of you can prove it!

J.D.: I got it on tape.

Elliot and Molly make scratch noises.

UFW and Labor

Well its happened the UFW is not part of the ALF-CIO. The times are a changing and hopefully this will help the labor movement in the long run but the entrenched people are going to have a very hard time swallowing this type of change.

Que viva la causa!

[Update 6.28.05] - the UFW did not split yet, they just joined the Coalition to Win that has the unions that left in them. I doubt the UFW could afford to leave the AFL-CIO otherwise I'm sure they'd bounce.
