I was Brian Linehan opposite Ian who was Barry one of the characters from the novel. I borrowed my father’s tie in order to look like the part of the interviewer. We had a dry run of our interview making sure that there were no awkward gaps when we presented in class. We were hesitant about setting up the review, Ian looked at one of his old book reports and we based it off that. One of my favorite songs Ian shared was “Le Tigre” by Decapton. Towards the end of April when we were working on the book report, most of our time was spent listening to music that we introduced each other. Sometimes don’t we all feel like making a Curly-esque squeal, or slapping ourselves in the face and saying “I’m a victim of coicimstance”? In an unorthodox way it is an outlet of ridding the angst inside all of us. When I watch his shorts, I learn that it is all right to feel frustrated when situations that our beyond our control. Had I been in grade seven, I would not have the courage to do it, as I was inhibited by my classmates’ perceptions of me. The last day when we were learning dance moves in our physical classes, I spontaneity dropped to the floor and spun like a drop. I saw the joy he imbued in all of his performances, especially if he was dancing. Señorita Cucaracha attempts to silence Alice Van Doren (Christine McIntyre) from vocalizing.Ĭurly appealed to the inner kid in me with his high-pitched voice, unique mannerisms of singing “Laaa-deee”, and vocal expressions (“Woo-woo”, “Nyuk-nyuk”) or as I coined “Curlyisms”.
Curly’s expressions as he lip-synched to Christine McIntyre's performance of “Voices Of Spring” was a highlight. Another entry “Micro-Phonies” (1945) which I hadn’t seen in some time was a favorite among my father, sister, and I. The best part was when Curly, trapped in his maze of pipes uses a brace-and-bit to let the water run out, which leads to the floor to collapse and dismantle the pipe Moe had fixed (Yeah, who said you need brains to be a plumber?). I loved how Moe, Larry, and Curly escaped from the law. It was loads of fun watching “A Plumbing We Will Go” again. I remember how enthusiastic my father was in waking me up early on weekends when The Three Stooges would air. I was familiar with the premise of the short and I had seen snippets of the short. I eagerly looked forward to borrowing the “Curly Classics” DVD with my father after school finished, so I could finally view “Punch Drunks”. When we would run laps starting from Marion Carson Elementary to the outskirts of F.E.O, I would have a burst of speed mentally hearing “Pop Goes The Weasel” in my mind. I learned that by folding the ailerons of a paper plane made it loop de loop. In due time I perfected the plane making process without looking at instructions. Later that day, my father assisted me in making paper airplanes by following directions in a book. I was frustrated with how the rest of my classmates were easily making paper airplanes, while I was struggling to make one. It was business as usual, as he helped me prepare for the grade six provincial exams for Science, Math, Language Arts, and Social Studies.Īs a passenger, I strapped myself in while my dad the pilot took me to the soaring heights of aerodynamics. He would pick me up from school, and occasionally drop off Ian and Spencer to their homes. The weeks leading up to his departure were memorable.
I was involved with completing school assignments I didn't have time to worry.
In order to live in the moment, I put the thought of my dad leaving out of mind as much as possible.
