Mamacita says: A huge thank-you to Super Cool School for posting this video.
Billy Madison’s speech made everyone in the room dumber, but Itay Talgam not only makes the world smarter: he makes the world smile. Somehow, watching this gentleman makes me feel better about the world, and even about. . . me. And that, [...]

Mamacita says:
Of course, you all probably already know that if you mix candy corn and salted peanuts together in a big bowl, you’ve got handfuls of PayDay bar goodness.
Peanuts are a meat substitute, and candy corn is pretty much fat-free (paraffin never hurt anybody) so really, a big bowl of candy corn and peanuts is [...]

Mamacita says: I have long been a fan of Chris Brogan, and now I think I might love him madly.
As a teacher, I am always on the lookout for new and better things to do, and for better ways to do what I have always done, and Chris’s daughter Violette has shown me yet another [...]

Mamacita says: Once upon a time, there was a lady who had two sweet little cats named Vera and Millie. One day, it was discovered that Vera and Millie liked to pee on the carpet on the landing at the foot of the stairs, behind a big mirror which was supposed to be hanging on [...]

Mamacita says: Kathy Griffin and Mr. Sulu? Together? Well, you KNOW it’s going to be awesome!
I find these people to be dismally repulsive; I wouldn’t watch their lives on a bet. These negative feelings towards them do not, however, prevent me from having a genuine laugh over this parody. Several [...]

Mamacita says: The new Carnival of Education is up over at Steve Spangler’s Blog. While you’re there, check out his post about color-changing solar beads. If your child has a hard time remembering to reapply sunscreen, why don’t you make a bracelet, or ankle bracelet, or necklace, or thread a bead on a chain and [...]

Mamacita says: Whenever I wear sneakers, my feet feel really bulky and heavy. I feel as though I’ve got two barges on the ends of my legs, or maybe those gigantic slippers that look so much like real furry animals, they scare people when they open the closet door and see them on the closet [...]

Mamacita says: I love Notting Hill and Love, Actually, so when the same guys made Definitely, Maybe, I was intrigued. When the film’s price finally got down to under ten bucks where I could rationalize buying it, I snarfed that baby right up and brought it home, where it sat on my [...]
