I'd like to wish a happy one-week anniversary to my cold. One week on, still goin' strong! In addition to ruining my plans to see the Corner Laughers last Saturday, being sick got me banned from attending the baby shower for my brother's firstborn spawn. Now, I would've had the sense to stay home, so as to avoid infecting my elderly grandmother and ( Read more... )

I think your cold has made it across the Atlantic. *sneeze*

Also, I blame your cold for you not being around online and hence supporting my attempts to visit. Virgin were selling off plane tickets like penny sweets last week, but I couldn't confirm whether I could stay with you in March, and risked two weeks of subsisting on Starbucks and Cinnabon in San Francisco airport as I'm too poor to stay in a hotel or even a motel 6.

Also, Caitlyn? Far too normal a baby name. Baby names nowadays need to have at least three vowels, a y, and an exchanged letter or two to truly let the spawn reach their full potential. Like Abbee, Aalyse or Kaytelynn. (Nothing beats a girl my American colleague knew, called La-a. Pronounced 'La-Dasha'.

I also dislike the name Caitlyn; it is too dull for my firstborn niece. I've been referring to her as Cataryn. No reason or reference... it just sounds pretty to me.

In March, I'm turning thirty. I was hoping to see England for my birthday, since I'll be able to scrape up financial contributions from relatives.

When's Retchie due to pop, then?

You visiting in March would also work for me. You can eat Easter candy and visit a bluebell wood. You can also laugh at my attempts to write a thesis proposal. Seriously, fares are so cheap right now that I'm happy to help out. Thanks for reducing the cost of Transatlantic travel, failed shoe bomber.

PS - check your messages. ;-)

As someone who works with freaky-named kids all day, I find "Caitlyn" pleasantly normal. Okay, so it's not my favorite name, but it is better than these names where the parents tried to stick in as many q's as possible. Let me just provide you with a short list of some of my favorites:

For girls: Anquanique, Darinique, Aschanell, Tionnah, Raynesha, Quandrara.

For boys: Dawunte, Deyjwonn, Derroente, Cerwilliam, , Ezakiel, Damarrea, Marwon, Kalani, Sterling, Lakquan, Ledonne, Delvonta, Tiwain, Jacquise, Tyrue, Fabrice, Breion, Lakieth, Marquel... okay, this list is not so short anymore, but let me leave you with my favorite so far. Mister. Yes, I did speak with a boy named Mister. I'm happy when I get a good, old-fashioned Javonte or Denzel.

p.s. I did not make up any of these names. They all came directly from our resident list.
