Pulsating Blob of Death

We saw one of these guys again on television tonight, a peacock mantis shrimp.  He's one of the stars of the movie we saw tonight, "Dolphin Reef," and that was completely unexpected for us.  After all, the movie is called "Dolphin Reef," and not "Peacock Mantis Shrimp Reef."  He was somewhat of a sidekick character, busy maintaining his stack of coral pieces and keeping it nice and tidy, despite the challenges a neat freak like him must face.  The worst challenge is this cuttlefish that comes along, one that changes colors in a hypnotic sort of way in order to confuse its prey.  Things don't look good for our hero, as he's facing off against the pulsating blob of death, but fortunately, everything works out in the story when a dolphin comes along.  You see, dolphins eat pulsating blobs of death.

Anyway, it was a pleasant evening.  We had taekwondo tonight, and that's moving along, here in the last week that Madison trains as a student with less than a black belt.  Next week, the black belt is here, and she's going to be in a whole new level class.  

We got home tonight, and Madison was registering for classes online for high school, and we're not doing AP geography this next semester.  Instead, she's doing theater and culinary classes.  This is okay, as she's also doing honors math, honors ELA, honors science, and honors something else.  I can't remember.  Anyway, there should be some balance to her year, so she's not doing nothing but all these classes with lots of extra work and so on.  It was a bit of a debate about classes, but I think it's important that she takes a few classes that she's into as well.

Anyway, we said our prayers and we read tonight.  It was a good day.
