On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think he looks an awful lot like his mamma in that picture, too. IJS.

Seriously.

And I love Noah and Grace together again!

In work news, my boss is out sick again, after being out Thursday and Friday. She's supposed to have her performance review today. Hmmm....

King Tut's face revealed.

Hey! I went to high school with that guy. He told us his name was Chewie and he drove the coolest lowrider.

No. Seriously, that reconstruction looks exactly like a schoolmate.

Happy Birthday, CaBil!

I guess that means this must be Guy Fawkes Day.

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

A group of aged volunteers pose in their everyday outfits and in their daily environment (the vicinity of the Home) to re-enact the scenes from well-known newspaper photographs taken from history books and encyclopaedias. The images in question depict ‘historical moments’ that took place in their lifetime: Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin at the Yalta Conference during the World War II, the Napalm Attack and the killing a Vietcong from the Vietnam War, or the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald, which was depicted live on a TV programme. Each of these images represents an immediately recognisable cultural leitmotif of its époque, the representation that overshadows the event it documents.

Happy birthday, Cabil!

Ugh. My highpoint for last night was from 4:00am to 4:23am. That was the only time Matilda wasn't yelling in my ear, coughing in my face, pulling on my hair or kicking me in the kidneys. I'm so freakin' tired.

At 6:30 she decided it was time to get up and was in a perky cheerful mood. She picked up my hair and said, "Dis?"

"This? This is my hair."
"No" she informed me.

As that might imply it wasn't hers to yank on all night long.

Cash! We got the box of baby clothes. Thank you so much for thinking of us in the middle of that crazy hurlyburly move. Matilda was all geared up in Oliviawear all weekened.
