The Bird Ate My Homework

Last night

Tyranosøren Wrecks eating Laurie’s homework!

Belafonte watching the Super Bowl halftime show on Apple Music.

I don’t watch football, so I did not see the game or the halftime show yesterday afternoon. However, I read various complaints about the halftime show this morning on various platforms. Most of the complaints were that people couldn’t understand the lyrics, others about how Kendrick Lamar danced, moved around, and bent down while he rapped.

When I got home, Laurie said I needed to watch and listen to the halftime show on Apple Music through her fancy Apple headphones that have dimensional sound. I can’t speak to what it was like watching the halftime show live, but watching it on Apple Music, the show was spectacular and the sound was phenomenal through Lurie’s Apple headphones. I’m not fond of rap, but that was a great show and I liked the music.

As far as Kendrick Lamar’s moving around and bending down while he raps, moving and bending help to open up the vocal folds, making the rapper’s voice more effective. I don’t know if rappers know that instinctively or have been trained by vocal coaches to bend and move while rapping, but I suspect a combination of both.

The Last Shall Be The First Hoorah

The last shall be the first hoorah
Celebrating Epiphany outside in the cold
Fahrenheit plus 21 equals Celsius minus six
Jamón Iberico y queso Manchego y barras de pan
Cocido Madrileño and Spanish Chocolate
Bonfire roared under stars, planets, clouds
The last celebration of holiday cheer
The first hoorah in the new year

Spider Spunku

Spunk is rather proud of himself and his Spunku about barking spiders. One thing that’s different about a Spunku is that it rhymes.

Oh my what delight
Spiders barking in the night
Holding sheets down tight

Jumping Spider

Wild clouds at sunrise

Søren: “Hahahaha! A barking spider? Right! It needs ‘more cowbell’ stupid cat!”
