The Blackhawks are playing the Detroit Red Wings. This is a big hockey rivalry -- the show is even called "Wednesday Night Rivalry." Right now, the score is Blackhawks 3, Red Wings 4. Boo! Ha ha. During intermission there is going to be a report on "Goalies Gone Wild."
Jack is out driving. It is dark and snowy, so Mom is a little nervous. I still think Jack needs to get some girls with this whole driving thing, but Jack just rolls his eyes at me.
I am so happy that I have school tomorrow and then a day off on Friday. Yippee!

Here Comes da judge!
A friend of my mom's appeared before the Supreme Court of the US today. I think this is very cool. It seems very important. The Supreme Court is the highest court in the US. They are located in Washington, DC. There are 9 judges called "Justices" on the Supreme Court.
I don't totally understand about the case, but my mom's friend's brother has a disability, and his mom takes care of him at home. She gets money from the government to take care of him. The governor of Illinois wants her to join the union to take care of him.
Anyhow, my mom is very irritated by this and has been blabbing about it all afternoon. But then she joked that maybe moms should unionize and get better working conditions. My mom says she's sick of cooking dinner every night!

Jack!
Jack got his driving permit today! He is finally a man! Let's hope that Jack now goes out to see the world and have adventures. Maybe romance a girl or two?
My mom says that when Jack gets his license she will sent him to the store when she forgets things. Dad says when Jack gets his license he will pretend to be Homer Simpson and send Jack out for Duff Beer!
Personally, I want Jack to drive me to school and to Game Stop to buy video games. Maybe to McDonald's for Happy Meals and ice cream.
Jack driving a car! Bejabbers!

Out to dinner
Tonight we went out to dinner. We went to a mexican restaurant to celebrate how me and Jack are awesome. Jack did some things being smart, and I shook the mayor's hand.
I had tacos. Mom had enchiladas mole. Dad had steak tacos. Jack had a combination plate.
I like the restaurant, but there was a baby at the next table who was screeching! Babies are fine, but I think they should stay home if they are going to screech in that really high pitched way. Screeching totally hurts my ears and makes me feel agitated, anxious and annoyed. I pulled my shirt over my ears and my hat down over my head. Luckily, the baby only screeched twice, so it wasn't too much of a problem. Mom says I was not a screechy baby, probably because I didn't want to annoy myself. Jack WAS a screechy baby, which I think just figures, because Jack annoys me a lot. Jack says he wouldn't annoy me so much if I wasn't so easy.
I've been tired and crabby all day. I think it is time for BED.

Shake it!
Today Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel came to our school to do a ribbon cutting of the new annex. Many people were excited to see a political celebrity there, even I was surprised to hear. During science class, he and a big news team came to Mrs. Carmen's new science room and we got the chance to shake his hand, even yours truly! I was too excited to even speak, except when he asked if we liked the new science room better than the old one, we all said "yes!"
Before Emanuel, the Chicago mayor was Richard Daley, who was reelected five time before resigning four years back. He was first elected in 1989, the year Disney's "The Little Mermaid" and Don Bluth's "All Dogs Go to Heaven" were in theaters. I'd say three big things happened that year, the new mayor was elected and two animated films, one successful and another outbox-officed, were released.

No Idea
I am literally running out of ideas for blog posts, I may be considering retiring. But since I have to do this as an assignment, it will be the same thing over and over and over and over again. So please give me some ideas! PLEASE! My imagination depends on it.
I'd rather just bury myself in a humongous cake until I have ideas, but that will be dangerous to my air. Why can't I just write for fun instead of work? Why can't my mom give me freedom of life for once?! I just can't take it anymore. Seems like "Clockwork Orange torture scene" may be another word for "homework".
If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna put a bag over my head.

The Not-really-Secret Annex
Back to school! We had two extra days of Christmas break because of the Polar Vortex. It was so cold that we all had to stay inside and do nothing. It was GREAT.
Today the temperature was above zero, so back to school. Our school has a new annex where all the middle school kids will be. So, I have all new classrooms, a new locker, and a new lunchroom. The annex is very big and the ceilings are very tall. The rooms are cool. They are painted in a wide array of colors and have modern windows.
The lunchroom is big enough that there can be two sections -- peanut free and peanut friendly. I sat in the peanut free section, because my mom didn't include any peanut products in my lunch. She asked me if I wanted peanut butter crackers tomorrow and I said yes, so I will sit in the peanut friendly section.
Here is a picture of me in Ms. Diggins' room!
