Kids in college now have had both Harry Potter and the Simpsons for all of the cognizant life. It's weird!

Two of the cornerstones of Emmett's cultural life. Plus South Park.

Did I tell you the discussion I had with my ex-coworker, Kevin the ex-Chef/social justice attorney (who looked sort of like Hugh Jackman)? I made some Monty Python reference (presuming it was still lingua franca) and he brushed it aside and said it was a "generational thing." And that his generation (late twenties) was all raised on South Park.

The key to South Park's influence? Every episode is online for free. You can just binge on them when you want.

Among Emmett's friends they all find standup comics through YouTube, which is interesting. Gabriel Iglesias being big at the moment.

I suppose the Marx Brothers are right out then....

Even just getting them all to lie down for naps was an extended exercise in patience as they flopped and flipped and kicked each other's toes and giggled and wiggled and finally (most of them) fell asleep.

Oh yeah. When I worked at the daycare center in college, I'm sure I was a lot of help doling out Goldfish and doing whatever, but naptime was KEY. I could always get kids to sleep.

Well, not with Emmett since he's got both box sets and has seen every movie multiple times.

Worth your weight in daycare gold.

Oh, in completely random news, I just recently realized that the girl on Sex Rehab on VH-1 who was the hottest mess was the other person in the Eric Dane/Rebecca Gayhart non-sex video.

She walked me right over to the OPI section and handed me "Yoga-ta Get This Blue", which is exactly what I was looking for.

Yay! I'm glad you had a good experience and found what you were looking for.

My deltoids (I think) are all burny. They were before the swim, subsided, and are now ouch again. Do not get.

Thanks Nicole. Of course, I couldn't buy just one color. Got three colors and a free OPI Start/Finish.

DH is doing his best to remedy that right now. He's watching Monty Python with the kids.

And today I took Frances into Sallys Beauty with me to buy hair color and she let me know that she's a bit of a budding Plei. She wanted nail polish NOW. I said okay and let her pick a color. She chose a dark blue and a plum/purple. And now she, Isaac, and I all are sporting lovely blue nails.

I should let her chose my nail color more often.
