Xander ,'Get It Done'
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.
"I love you" is just such a HUGE emotional payoff with kids. I'm trying to remember that when both mine were up before 6 a.m.
This morning I had to read an email from a cousin calling Obama a "pseudo-intellectual Muslim." Hell hath no wrath like I do when I have to respond to the Stupid before my coffee.
I doubt I'll be welcome at the next family reunion.
DAMN, if the rest of SNL was as good as that opening skit, I'd start watching again. That was note-perfect, and worked on so many levels.
I hope Hillary watches it and laughs until she cries.
if the rest of SNL was as good as that opening skit,
Yeah, not so much.
she said "I love you," she ate and loved broccoli tonight, and now she's dancing around the living room to Joan Jett. She posits that a toddler could not be any better even if she were dipped in platinum.
I agree with JZ!
Dylan is many months away from sentences, but has been adding words to his vocabulary at a pretty alarming rate. He doesn't use all of them consistantly or meaningfully yet, but his repetition skills are MAD, yo. (Except for the letter R, which he can't do at all. So his Auntie 'Rina is "Mina!" and the Roomba is "Moomba!" When you're 15 months old, everything has exclamation points!)
And in political news, a college friend of mine has as his current Facebook status:
has astronaut experience because he can see the moon from his house?
LOVE.
Except for the letter R, which he can't do at all.
He and the rest of the Israelis. We really don't pronounce R's, at least not the way others pronounce it, but there's a way to pronounce it with the tongue, mostly in singing.
Foreigners and people that (who?) doesn't know Israeli names usually needs me to spell my name to get it right, or else it sounds like "she".
When you're 15 months old, everything has exclamation points!
Very exciting!
Timelies all!
Supposed to be hot today. Oh, joy.
But it's odd and cute the way she says it. Like she's pronouncing it phonetically, and Latvian is her first tongue.
Matilda has killed me ded with cuteness.

When I was learning Hebrew as a kid, they told us that the letter "resh" is pronounced like we pronounce R. It totally confused me on my first trip to Israel when I realized that that's totally not how Israelis pronounce it. (I'd heard people with Israeli accents before, but it hadn't really registered until I was surrounded by them.) I mentioned this to Nilly on the phone, and she tried to teach me how to pronounce "resh," which mostly ended up with me sounding like I was about to swallow my tongue.
OK, laundry is in. That's something.
