Revision

So, apparently it was the movie Predator I watched on TV with Thomas, not Alien vs Predator. Oh well, its all the same to me. Which just proves who's the bigger nerd. I never owned a Star Trek uniform or a tricorder.

Also, does anyone else find it odd that the spell check on blogspot doesn't recognize the word "blog"? Who creates this stuff?

Oh, and my blog is only pink because it annoys someone who is just too much fun not to annoy.

Aliens

Who knew that spending an afternoon with Thomas watching Alien vs. Predator would help me with speech therapy. I have a seventh grader who is deaf and can only read at a first grade level. His sign language isn't that great and you can't understand any of his speech. So we're working on his reading and writing skills as well as learning new signs and saying some words better. I found out he was interetsed in aliens and i figured, hey so am I. But its not aliens in general he likes. Its the movie Aliens vs. Prdeator and evrything that has to do with it. He has the movie, the PS2 game, and some figurines. Thankfully I had a basic idea of the movie so I knew what he was trying to tell me. I'm gonna write a story telling the basic plot and have him practice his reading, speech, and sign with that. So, thanks Thomas for being such a nerd ;)
