Another day in the office

A good portion of my work this week involved

balloon art.

This is a crown that represents Brain Fireworks.

When you love learning and you work hard to

accomplish your goals, you'll have those "aHa!" moments

when everything clicks inside your brain.

Those are called brain fireworks.

Or, as Demetri said in the last assembly I performed at,

"Your mind explodes with learning!"

You have to make a really awesome crown for one lucky winner

each time you do a show.

So taking the time to practice is important.

And fun...

This is Nedina.

She stands in as the prize winner when we practice.

She's very chic and awesome.

Attack of the balloons.

Awesome scary face, no?

Andrew, my partner in crime and co-beingtrainedforthisnewjob-friend,

is afraid of balloons popping.

So we make him blow up all the balloons.

And then we stick them to the ceiling

and to everything else.

My job is so totally super cool

for a TON of reasons,

including the BALLOONS!

Other fun things I'm getting paid to do:

1. Practice making laser beam sound effects

2. Talk in funny voices, dialects, or just sing everything you say all day

3. Practice yoyo tricks anytime, anyplace

4. Color, with crayons

5. Talk into a microphone, and practice microphone techniques for enhancing sound effects

6. Travel around the beautiful cities in the Seattle area

7. Visit with kids and make them feel like heroes

8. Do research for the show...like watching Sponge Bob Square Pants, over and over again.
