Dylan fell asleep for his nap VERY late today, and is still asleep. It's past 5. I should wake him, but that would involve getting up and away from the computer.

[eta: Opened the door to check on him and found this. (Asleep on the floor wearing his rubber rain boots.) Definitely too adorable to wake up!]

Parenting fail

That's the sort of thing I'm worried I would do if I ever had kids. I'd have some random idea one day and it would seem like a good idea but actually it's one of those things that people look at you and wonder how you figured out how to procreate at all. Like getting my kids' names tattooed on them so they can't get lost, or soemthing.

I probably should make sure and never get pregnant.

Jars, the safe choice of tattoo is your cell phone number.

(In my version of it, anyone applying for a parenting license would have to work in my field for 3 years, in addition to course work).

And yet if that were the case, no one would ever procreate. The survival of the species kinda relies on the blissful ignorance of future parents.

Then again, I watched my husband help care for my sick mother for 3 years before we had kids. He helped feed her, helped bathe her, helped her to bed and to get up in the morning. That's why I can never ever leave my husband. He takes care of old ladies, even sick ones.

Wow, I could have made some money with my imaginary parenting paranoia. Assuming anyone actually buys those. Ick.

Glamcookie, how's your dad doing? Much ~ma to him.

Oof. I eated too many chickpea cutlets. They taste really good, but two of them was one too many. (They're really easy -- mashed canned chickpeas, vital wheat gluten, bread crumbs, water, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and some spices, mixed together, kneaded for a few minutes, then formed into patties and pan-fried. For some reason, when I took my first bite I thought "That tastes like veal," even though I'm pretty certain I have never eaten veal in my life. But whatever it tastes like, it tastes like it'll taste even better with tomato sauce and melty cheese on top, which is my plan for the leftovers for tomorrow.)

I think I want these dishes for my new kitchen.

So I'm checking the move listings, and apparently there's a new theater in Japantown that's outside the main Japantown Center, shows lots of anime, has wasabi flavored popcorn, Blue Bottle Coffee and even has a boutique for Baby, the Stars Shine Bright (probably the best known Gothic Lolita line).
