It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I am home tonight watching, among other things, the Hard & Phirm comedy special on Comedy Central. It occurred to me that they might be something that most people here would like-- they do comedy songs (I don't know what to call that genre, but you know, like FotC) and I think they're really smart & funny. And not in a hipster way. Recommended!

Now tagless for your comfort.

lori, thanks for the link! I just got a simple origami kit to do with the kids and it is much harder than it looks. And it looks fucking hard!

sara, I'm so thrilled with the stories of your birth-attending. Birth photos are tricky things--you're inevitably going to capture "too much" but you can always crop that stuff out. One of my favorite photos came from my cousin holding his son right after he was born. The nurse took the photo and the foreground is my cousin beaming at his newborn while right over his shoulder, the mother was being stitched up, grimacing and clutching the sides of her bed.

Having to pee when you're cold just doubles up the suck.

I broke down, took a bath and ran out for McDonalds for dinner. DH took the kids grocery shopping and came back loaded for bear.

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

Fight Science on National Geographic this weekend is going to feature some of our local krav instructors. Amir Perets (formal IDF Special Forces) will be being attacked by Jonathan Dugas (just finished cop training, but he's been training cops for yonks) and Brent Wilkening (computer nerd). And there's an ad for our centre going to air too. It's all cute and stuff with one of the smaller chicks beating the crap out of a guy that grabs her in the parking lot.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

ION, scrabulous people. isn't that what Fri night is for?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, you've got to work with what you've got!

I was taking video! I think I caught the boy crowning, I don't know. I honestly was in autopilot/immediate witness mode, just hanging the camera up high and largely ignoring it. But that is really personal, you know? Lord, where it aimed.

This all harkens back to my personal prudity. I taped stuff I wouldn't have if it were me. But it seems welcome, for which I was glad.

Our wings are not tired.

The most hysterical part of watching my son's birth video is DH looking every few minutes for progress. The camera was on a tripod unattended. The doctor that delivered was a tiny woman likely not 5' and she and Brendon were a mighty cute combo delivery team.

The geeks would appreciate DH watching the monitors and telling me when I was having a contraction. "Yes dear, I know."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Reminds me of that Murphy Brown episode where Murphy is hooked up to the machine that monitors and predicts her contractions and Jim yells "She's going to blow!"

I need a good name for it, though. iBob was the name of the last one. Any suggestions?

iMike?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Shrift, sorry your trip home was sucky. Looks like we were in intermission by the time you got home.

I arrived home to learn that my building has been sold.
