After sixteen hours flight from Salt Lake City via Dallas to London, I am stuck here. British Airways had to cancel all flights between 9am and 4pm due to an emergency landing (probably bird related). The staff told everybody to "go home" and that all flights for the next few days were fully booked. Maybe I was a little bit too impatient but after ( Read more... )

This morning I had an argument with my son concerning the nature of a depicted animal. The picture was a drawing of a white animal which to my opinion was sheep. Milo disagreed, liking it more to the canine variety. The discussion went somewhat like this

Milo : Wah Wah.
I : Bah.
Milo : Wah Wah!
I : Bah Baa.
Milo *starts slapping me* WAH WAH WAH

Milo is discovering means of expressing disagreement, other than crying. I'd say his rebellious phase started and I expect it to last until age 21. Have to be quick taking something away from him or down goes his face and you have sharp tiny teeth in your hand. If you try to put him down somewhere he doesn't like or take him away from his ten ( Read more... )

Maya and I had a fight as a result of which I forgot to check the temperature of Milo's baby tea. The water was from the thermos I fill up every morning with boiling water. He didn't get any injuries (pediatrician checked) but cried bitterly, broke into a sweat and fell into a deep sleep after prolonged breast feeding. He is such an innocent and ( Read more... )

I was wondering why Star Wars has recently been marketed so aggressively to children as young as age 6. You can buy everything Star Wars themed for even the youngest school children and I have heard some of them singing the imperial march. Until I learned, from South Park actually, that George Lukas has sold the franchise to Disney. And I thought ( Read more... )

Milo (8 months now) can say Papabababa and Mama. Started to say these words at the same day. My efforts of pointing and repeating Papa, Mama, Milo seem to have fruited. To some degree. Still he ignores his name if he choses to and laughs when I say Papa too often.

My father was offended, probably rightfully so, because I didn't contact him for two months after I returned from Japan. To my defense, I started work the week after my arrival and immediately had to teach courses and look for an apartment. When I say, I was busy, it is really so and not a lame excuse. But he behaves like a girl that has not been ( Read more... )

Stumbled by chance on the topic of Wicca, an esotherik movement but the people involved like to call it a religion. well, it's hard to read the wikipedia pages in English as well as German with a straight face. 60 years ago a single guy pulled the whole thing out of his ass hat and suddenly thousands of people believed in horned gods and goddesses ( Read more... )
