We were over at a friends yesterday and spent a little time watching out wedding video (which the friends shot and had just gotten a copy of from another friend who has been editing it forever - we don't randomly force people to watch our wedding video, honest) and they're not quite 2 year old daughter spent about 5 minutes asking "Watch Elmo? Watch Elmo? Watch Elmo?" without pause. It was cute because I could, you know, leave and not hear that all day long.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Coffee! I haven't had coffee yet! And there's some not 5 feet away - score!
I heard the Mt. McKinley story on the Daily Show. I vaguely remember hearing stories about someone organizing climbing expeditions just to clean up Everest - not even try to summit, just go around picking up litter, etc. It's so weird that that's necessary.

Now tagless for your comfort.
If Owen's watching Elmo, if I put my hand in front of his face, he will push it out of the way. Repeatedly. It'd be funny if it wasn't kind of scary.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Speaking of TDS, Jon was en fuego last night with Bernard "Fathead" Goldberg. Really on his game and not letting Goldberg gettng away with platitudes.

In other news, one of the BIG disasvantages of my adorable chamring daughter is the fact that I have had "Elmo's song" in my head for DAYS. I shelve books singing, "La la la, La la la, Elmo's song..."
I don't even see my niece and nephew that often and I occasionally have that in my head. It is quite pervasive.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Whoever decided that the voices in the head are male obviously didn't ask about this one.

HE SO WAS! It was great! The new studio's making him sassier. I like it.
I'm going to ask my brother about the voices in his head and if they're male.

My husband does this too.

The asshole then threw the kitten about 15 feet where it fell onto a concrete sidewalk and got a concussion. It's been treated and will be adopted.
Aw. My old dog gave a kitten a concussion once. It approached her food bowl while she was eating (brave kitten, this was a big German Shepherd), and she just knocked her out of the way with her head and went back on eating. Poor little kitten staggering around. It was fine, though.
That was the same litter where my dad threw one out the back door (lightly, no injury to the kitten intended or received), and dislocated his shoulder. Oh, we laughed and laughed.
