Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm not wild about plans that start, "Let's meet at 11 pm . . . " Which is a shame, because a lot of stuff seems to start late at night, right about the time I'm usually hitting REM sleep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're ready for bed at 11 AM?

Today I am.

Because for us, Friday is the first day of the weekend, so meeting for brunch or something on 11am is a perfect timing. It's even more complicated than timezones.

Heh. Cross-cultural communication is hard!

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

Friday is for after-work plans, not late night plans!

When is for late night plans? Just Saturday?

If you're me, really never is for late night plans. At least, when I'm working. When I had class til 10pm, and nothing scheduled the next day, I was all for staying up late.

And PS, I know people who don't even think 11pm is "late night." Those people are not my people.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think Friday is for late night plans. Cuz you need to get off work, go home, eat dinner, relax, disco nap. Saturday you're fronting like you got something going on in the evening.

How are you doing? Did your baby-son get you anything fun for the holidays? Like a particularly gorgeous smile?

I'm great! Li'l Sphere's aunts and uncles showered him with tons and tons of gifts for the holidays, but his favorite thing is a cheap old nylon-string guitar I pulled out of storage at my parents' house. He can stand on it and bang on the strings (I tuned it to open G because I thought it would be a little more pleasing that way).

And I wish I could post pictures, 'cause I swear that kid gets cuter every day. He's 11 months next week, running all over the house, making early vocalizations (the cat is kitakitakita, the dog, Buster, is buhbuhbuh, his mom is Mulahmuhmuh, and, along with the rest of humanity, I am dadadadada), pointing at everything, and thinking up new ways to circumvent the childproofed cabinets. It's superfun, except when it isn't.

How's things with you? Did your philosophy of science class go well?

Hi everyone.

Totally random question: does anyone know of a website (or book, but website would be preferred, since I'm too lazy to go to the library today) that shows German army uniforms from about 1880 until 1930ish? I found a picture of a man in uniform with my grandmother's things, and I'm trying to figure out who and when it is, and that's about as far as I can narrow the date down from other stuff in the photo. (I'm actually pretty sure it's more like 1900-1920, but I'm not positive about that.)

I'm even wearing Talbot's right now, come to think of it.

Bahahaha! I'm not (I'm wearing VS pink polka dot flannel pjs). I just think of Talbots as not for the "Let's Meet at 11!" crowd.

I'm such a morning person I can't even conceive of meeting that late.

You're totally wasting New York! Give up your space to someone else!

It was suggested I go out drinking last night. Wednesdays are not for last minute late night plans. I'm pretty sure of that. I went to McGill, and last-minute late-night doesn't start until Thursday.

Even just saying "Cross-cultural communication" is hard!

That's such an adorable nickname!

So, truly his father's son, right? You had an avatar on WX with a guitar, right?

He's 11 months next week

What, already? Wow. Also, I wish there could be pictures, too.
