You're right, I haven't posted here much lately. What do you need to know?

Spouse has a new job, making games for The Mouse. He likes it, but he has long hours, which kinda sucks. We get discounts on Mouse-related products, and free passes to parks, which is pretty cool. His hair is very long now, much longer than mine.

I am still at the part-time ( Read more... )

Got a letter from one of the jobs I applied for; they have filled the position.
Got a letter from the school district; the PTB have decided that our son is not gifted. Of course, they also decided to keep his crappy teacher and pink-slip the amazing one he had in kindergarten, and feel that kids learning about Africa ( Read more... )

Things I have been wondering lately

Does Led Zepplin count as buttrock?
Does extended breast-feeding turn boys into breast-men?
Does Fruity Pebbles contain heroin? Because I eat it like a junkie...
Do those tanned-leather women with fake boobs and garish highlights and overdone lips really think they are attractive?
Why do people ride their brakes while going downhill?

Yo, homies.

Spring is here, and I find that things are vaguely better around here. (As I am fond of saying, when people ask me how I am doing on the antidepressant, "Hey, at least I'm not curled up in a corner crying.")

1) Has anyone ever given Dr. Manhattan an atomic wedgie?

2) A pick-up line that will never work on Dr. Manhattan: "Is that an atom neutralizer in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

And another thing: What, exactly, does Rorschach smell like?

New Bedtime Story

bookbabe1999 Mar 08, 2009 20:50

Our evening routine with D involves his reading a book out loud to us, and then one of us reading out loud to him. We alternate between one-shot books and lengthy books that we read a chapter at a time.

Spouse is starting with ( Read more... )
