I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Trust my rage
thanks for all the well wishes! We are back home now. SO far, Ellie is a great big sister - she definitely likes her baby brother and mostly she's disappointed that she can't play with him as much as with her dolls. Still, she likes to touch his face, pet his hands and wipe his nose when he sneezes.
I went to my doula's (who is also a midwife) yesterday for out first meeting at 4. I'd been having contractions but they seemed like nothing more than what I'd experienced earlier in the week. The doula offered to let me deliver the baby in her home (she's much much closer to emergency services than my parents) and I'd said I'd think about it. Well, when the contractions let me know they were the real thing around 10:30, it just seemed like the place to be. So, we showed up at her house at 11:45 pm and said, "Hi - we'd like to deliver here, if possible." Three hours later, Baby Frisco arrived. I know it's not for everyone, but having him at home was so awesome.
Joe is currently on a plane and should be here by midnight or so. I suppose I'll type up a longer story later, but I'm just so happy about how quickly it all happened and how it all just came together.

Welcome baby Frisco!
We went to Costco today. I am feeling virtuous and frugal.

Ok. 31 single-serve dinners packaged up with about 37 more in progress. Maybe another 10 if we get the energy to start the last soup.
That'll last a week, or so :).

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

We went to see Beowulf with Angelina Jolie today at the dollar movie*. The first half, when Beowulf's having trouble staying in his clothes for battles, was immensely mockworthy. The second half, when multiple chickens come home to roost, was pretty good. I'm no fan of all, though, of the video game style of filming/animation. Peter Jackson proved you can do this sort of thing for "real", and the comparisons don't benefit Beowulf. It's kind of like going to see Logan's Run the same year you see the first Star Wars and realizing that the state of the art just leapfrogged over everything you knew before.
- though Angelina herself was unable to actually be in the theatre with us.
