I don't want to see no two-headed babies before breakfast.

Emmett's sick. Fever and the runs. He had diarrhea cramps while we were crossing the Bay Bridge last night (in torrential rain). Just about the least optimal time to pull over. He toughed it out and we got home.

I don't think he's very sick - and it looked like his fever broke during the night (he was very sweaty), but it's coming back up now. I think it'll be a low key day. He's proven his ridiculous Marx Brothers love, so I think I'll go ahead and invest in the other Marx Brothers box set. The one with the better movies, actually.

Happy Annivesary kat and Lori! I wish you romance and cake.

Happy Birthday, Beverly! I wish you poetry and free time.

Seeing Alibelle and Gus around, I realize how much I miss them when they are on extended hiatus.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Alibelle and I are going to go see the Aviator tonight. Want to go?

What time and where? I'm still trying to plan my day.

So far, I'm watching Collateral. For anyone who doesn't want to watch a Tom Cruise Movie, it's not. It's a movie with Tom Cruise in it, released before Jamie Foxx could headline. I wish someone had told me that (or that I would have been able to believe) while it was still in theatres.

Trying to gauge my back and head to see how much krav I can do ... hmmm.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm trying to straighten up my apartment, since entropy has taken over yet again, and for my entertainment, Sci-Fi channel is playing Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I think it's possibly the apex of Harrison Ford's hotness. DAMN, baby.

Also, it marks a significant contribution to the Bad Monkey! cinematic trope. (Though, to be fair, the Bad Monkey! gets its comeuppance.)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Emmett's sick. Fever and the runs.

On the plus side, he only has one head.

Definitely a plus.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh, poor Emmett. Quick recovery to him.

Happy Anniversary, Kat and lori! I'm tickled we share a celebration day.

Thanks for the good wishes, guys. It's a low-expectation chore day, since the weather's gorgeous. We've already discovered DH can't repair the power steering fluid hoses himself. It's too snarly and confusing under there, and the hoses disappear behind some other stuff. So we'll keep topping the reservoir up till we can afford the time to take the car in and leave it. We've repaired Mom's phone, and MIL called to wish me happy. Now DH is off looking for hood lifter-piston-thingies for my car, because those he can replace himself. And I've scooped and topped up the litterbox with fresh litter, collected the household trash for out-taking and relined the wastebaskets and kitchen can, smooshed the plastic jugs for recycling and am currently eyeing my craphole of a desk preparatory to destruction and reassembly, while catching up here and elsewhere, and bird dogging a couple of ebay auctions.

Multitasking is fun!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Always Anti-fascist!

Poor Emmett. Those things clear up fast(not fast enough, mind you!) though. Happy anniversary to Kat &Lori.

The evil is this way?

I don't want to see no two-headed babies before breakfast.

I'm sorry. I went back and added a warning label.

Get well soon, Emmett. We've had a sick kid here for the past 10 days or so - not fun.

Speaking of B.... it's his THIRD birthday today! Unbelievable. SO and I are just about to drink a sip of champagne and congratulate ourselves for having survived thus far (especially considering the last 3 weeks).

And while I'm at it... Happy Birthday, Beverly, and very best wishes to Lori and Kat on your anniversary.
