You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The little ones always seem to be excited by the bubble-blowing bottles they've started giving away at weddings.

Oh, yeah! These have saved us at more than one wedding. You can never go wrong with bubbles.

Especially Campbell, because I am helpless before VK's woobification powers. On one level I want to smack the entitlement and self-righteousness right out of him, but then he makes that VK woobie face and I just want to wrap him in a blanket and make him some soup.)

Yup. It's the eyes, damn him.

As for the kid, Glenn: the hair thing creeped me right out. But not as much as his looming in the bathroom. I also like how they segued from there to Mrs. Draper lying on her analyst's sofa. I wonder if he's Freudian or Yungian. Veddy interesting. The characters are all so well layered that I'm very ambivalent about all of them.

Everyone gets bubbles. I like bubbles too. :)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Screw the wedding, just have a bubble party!!

So the little ones get stuffed animals or beanie babies, sippy cups that you can color, bride and groom rubber duckies, and tons of assorted coloring options. Best I can do.

Hee. I like Tom's idea. I am so OVER this wedding thing. Would much rather blow bubbles.

I like the show a lot. I still look at it and think how much everyone and every place must smell like an ashtray. Apparently, they don't use real cigarettes, they use an herbal brand that tastes really gross.

I think that Glenn is creepy as hell both with the bathroom thing and the hair. I still don't get why she gave it to him. Not only was it inappropriate, she cut her own hair !! I was very happy when VK got fired. And it was so COLD. I wonder if we're going to see more of the head honcho and his wierdness.

Callaluna - what about removeable stickers? (I swear that they exist. At least, I'm pretty sure I've seen them.)

Yes, they do. My BFF gave them out at her son's birthday party.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

IME, as soon as a child can hold a crayon and get it to make directed contact with a piece of paper, coloring is fun.

I'm done. One more thing to cross off the list. I'm a perfectionist, so I'll keep thinking, "Well, I should have gotten that" or whatever, but I think by doing anything at all I am doing more than most people do. Most people don't bother to come up with activities for kids at weddings. I've hired two babysitters, and I have a plethora of games and activities on offer, in addition to the gift bags. I've done enough. More than most childless people would ever even think of, I suspect. I'm not going to second guess myself.
