"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I remember when I thought Sesame Street was the coolest thing, so that's not outside the realm of possibility.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's nice that you remember yesterday.

move out and draw fire

I think I'm calling it a night. The DH just hosed my computer loading his courseware for his Master's program, and after more or less rebuilding it we are only kind of speaking to each other. It's not his fault, actually, it's the courseware's, but two people should never try to drive one computer.

He's one of the few civilians accepted by the Army War College; I think his degree is going to be in "war." The courseware is unintentionally hysterical - you have to hear R. Lee Ermey reading all the text. And everything's acronymed: "Upon graduation from the USAWC, you will be dealing with significantly broader issues within a more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) strategic environment."

I did not make that up.

Hugs to Gud and to sj, and to sj's nephews.

If I only had a brain...

Could it be she was just bored?

Oh, yes.

Coding and Sleeping

Whenever I used the bathroom while watching the kids, something unfortunate happens. Dressers are emptied, diaper wipes are distributed, things in the refigerator are emptied, someone starts hitting someone else, or something or other. Taking a pee is a sure trip to the wheel of misfortune.

You guys are making me want to rethink this whole kid thing, and take Mal up to Ymittos (our local mountain) slathered in bacon (because dingoes love bacon) before it's too late.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The stubborn little thing pulled off all of his monitors last night.

I did an article once about this incrediably tiny very premature baby. Once the baby came home, she was hooked up to monitors, and if the monitors were dislodged an alarm went off and, of course, her parents came running. It kept happening over and over and they finally caught her pulling them off and giggling. It was just her way to make her parents appear. I hope everything goes well with both of sj's nephews.

{{{Gud}}} Now I want a smushy hug.

{{{Deena}}} I hope Aidan wears out before you do.

nod nod nod. I was copying some pictures from a website to PhotoShop for Hubby. Hubby has never played with PhotoShop, but he was all set to give me advice over my shoulder about how the screens should look and making pictures bigger. "I. Know," I said in the coldest, flattest voice I could manage. "I can leave any time, right?" he said, once again demonstrating that quick wit I fell in love with.

Trust the military to have a pronouncable acronym for "We could all *die* here!"

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Deena, do you still want me to call you this afternoon about "the project"? If so, what time?

Sure, vw. Anytime is fine with me. I have no ideas, but I'll work on that.

how are you feeling?

Better. Thank you. I'm tired of coughing, but other than that I'm not too shabby.

Raquel, thanks for the link. What a great site. I love the colors and style. The baby is gorgeous, but I did not realize you are also gorgeous. How can you look like that right after having a baby? I am incensed jealous.
