Happy Birthday to libkitty!
I had to google that, Tom. Shiny.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Is it just me, or does this column (Maureen Dowd on eye color) make no sense at all?
Maureen Dowd hasn't made sense to me in years. She's far more in love with quips than in presenting coherent arguments.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Is anyone having lj issues today? Did something happen over the weekend that I totally missed?

mac had a total meltdown this morning over the shirt that was clean for school. He ended up wearing a shirt that was still wet from the laundry.

This weekend the kids watched Cats & Dogs. Total meltdown at the end. I was taken by surprise by that. I mean it's not Old Yeller, it's got a happy ending. But the dead dog fakeout at the end was too much.
If I had only known ahead of time, I could have cut a bit out of the end and meltdown avoided.

FWIW, a certain amount of story-induced emotional meltdown is good for kids, as it gives them practice in learning to calm themselves and buck up, plus accepting consolation and so on. Not so great if it results in sleepless nights and ulcers, depending on the kid, of course. YKMV.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap. Someone put my 7th grade class picture up on Facebook. It is not pretty -- I'm pretty sure the girls of Somerville alone put a hole in the ozone layer with aerosol hairspray...

I rushed to Facebook, but did not find Jesse Big Hair. Perhaps she untagged herself. I did find that Facebook thinks I may know Ellen Kushner (I do not).
Through the happy combination of super-dorkiness and prep school, I never had Big Hair. I had a brief period of Feathered Wings, but went to a simple chin-length bob as soon as I could (mid-7th grade), and stuck with it. I don't think I've ever owned a can of hairspray except for Halloween costumes.
