I for one welcome the arrival of our Cute Overlord.

"KNEEL BEFORE AWWWW!!"

I don't read comic books, but this? Sounds (and looks!) cool.

I'm listening to the Victor Garber interview (thanks, Dana!) now, and am rather disappointed that he says he can't watch the movie Godspell--it sounds like he thinks that it rather unwatchable. I love it, myself.

Hey, I'm doing pretty good if I can get a callback to a joke from 15 hours earlier.

I like Cute Overlord but I prefer to keep away from baby humans.

Timelies all!

This morning was quite the...adventure. Had a devil of a time getting out of my parking spot because the snow that piled up behind my car had iced over . At one point I couldn't go forward or back. Got the snow shovel out of the house, but had trouble hacking away at what was there. Luckily a neighbor passed by and helped me by shoveling and pushing the car. Once I was clear of the spot I returned the shovel to the house, only to realize when I got back to the car that I couldn't find my keys. After a fruitless search of the path I took to and from the house, I went back in the house and found my spare key.

When I got home after work, my car keys were on the ground between the screen door and the front door. Guess someone spotted them.

Yay, for good guy neighbors!

I couldn't find last year's pair of YakTrax this morning, so after lunch I bought another pair at the sports supply store in my building. They are phenomenal on icy sidewalks -- even in the dark I didn't have a single slip on the long uphill slog from the bus stop to my front door, as opposed to the partial skating I did to get out to the bus in the morning. You only want to use them a couple of days a year, but damn if they don't earn back their price (which was $14.16 with a discount) right away.

I just had the perfect attitude antidote for someone facing a potential $500 car repair bill and an annual review tomorrow: dinner with lisah and megan walker. The latter of which will do very well in her interview! Heh. It was a lovely lovely time, and must happen again!

I had a crispy duck with blood orange something sauce (as you can tell, I'm well versed in the gourmet) which had some sort of green lettuce-family cooked lightly with it that I could've eaten a whole plate of. And wine. Thank god, I had wine.

We sent megan off with a cheery "ok, we gotta go shoot our cats now."

Now I fall down in front of the tv.

Yay for lovely dinner!

This is totally random, but I have two questions relating to babies and cars:

1. How do hugely pregnant people drive? Do they have to push the seat way back? Or do you not really sit that close to the steering wheel anyway?

2. How do people with babies and no cars deal with child seats if they're taking a cab? Bring their own, that they then have to schlep around?
