'Lessons'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Nice typo:
"The goal is to encourage students to be creative in an era when funding for the arts has been slashed to the bone. “We’re like a finger in the dyke,” says Paula Owen, president of the Southwest School, about the program," - San Antonio Express-News, November 23.
yay, Christmas lights! We didn't go to Hastings Ranch (too wet, too far away) but the neighborhood next over delivered just fine.
My son has a new bedtime habit. Instead of falling asleep in his own bed, he waits a bit, then skedaddles down the hall into our bed, crawls in, and falls fast asleep. He's there right now.

Thanks! Now with extra puke.
Actually that whole scene pretty much emulates what it's like to sleep in the same bed with Matilda. She is a total head grappler, and occasional puker.
I'm mildly concerned with Matilda's ultra-tininess. She'll be 15 months around xmas and she's about the size of an 8 month old. Or Emmett when he was 6 months old. But she's very strong and active and verbal and a delight so that mitigates things.
Also, she's started to fill out horizontally a bit which often presages an upsurge.
And if she winds up staying on the tiny side I have plenty of short statured exemplars of cool around here to allay my concerns.
Ugly dork comedy. Whatever.
Really? Because I heard John C. Reilly interviewed on Fresh Air last week and it sounded awesome. If it's actually humiliation comedy I won't be able to watch it...

Doesn't sound that way, except on a meta label. I just feel Judd Apatow's been tugging at my sleeve blank-faced "just this guy I met online and he's really funny" movies. It worked with 40 Year Old Virgin, but frankly I'm feeling a touch overtugged righ now.
Tommy is the assumption that the wall is spelled "dike"? Because I've always spelt it "dyke" and apparently the Brits are A okay with the whole thing.

There's a clip of Reilly doing "Rehab" (in character) on YouTube that is pretty awesome.
In odd YouTube clips -- Hava Nagila - Baby Let's Dance.
(Why have I suddenly gone from "can't stay awake" to "can't sleep"? It's disconcerting.)

exactly...I'm putting this on the wall in my office area at the school.

I know a couple of little boys who are pretty short, and the selling point for them was that their dads could carry them longer than their friends' dads could carrry them.
So, I accidentally knocked a small cake of soap into my toilet this morning. It did not float. It sank to the bottom of the bowl, and was out of sight and out of reach. (The toilet brush was just pushing it further back and I was not sticking my hand down in there.) So, being half asleep still, I thought, "I'll flush the toilet and that will force it to float up." Um, no. I could hear it clanking against the pipes as it went down the drain. So Buffistas, will this soap clog my drains? How long until it melts? What should I do?
