Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

What the hell is "positivism"? Did this happen after I left school, or did I just block it from my negativistic mind?

Nah - in social science context, this was mostly a nineteenth-century thing. It's an empiricist approach which holds that the principles of the natural sciences can be applied to society. Most social theorists/researchers now find this approach decidedly dodgy, but it was an important development in the social sciences in the 19th C. [link]

The little one I am watching just woke up because he needed a diaper change and was not very happy to see me instead of mommy or daddy. He seems to be falling asleep again now.

I'm home now with my ovaries aching. G is so adorable. I find it relatively easy for me to take care of a toddler, so I am hoping it will mainly be the first year or so that I will need to adapt baby care to my disability. t /navel gazing

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, right. I forgot about it.

I'm waiting for my niece to get old enough that I can babysit for her without other people there. It's not safe at the moment, as I can't get up the stairs in my sister's house to change her etc. Maybe she can come and stay with us a in a year or two. Would be very cool.

I forgot about it.

I plan to do just that, once this essay's written.

The friends I babysit for are super cool about bringing diapers and extra changes of clothes for the baby downstairs so that I don't have to go up and get them. The only problem being that their only bathroom is upstairs.

Matilda got her lullabies and Christmas carols mixed up this morning and began singing to herself (to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star).

I'm kind of spacey and not-concentrating tonight, so I'm sort of alternating between books. Right now, I'm reading a few pages of New Moon, then a few pages of The Sexual Politics of Meat, and so on. I don't think either book was meant to be read like this.

Oh, and I brought in some stuff to the tailor yesterday, to get sleeves and pant legs shortened. (I usually do it myself, but these were complicated, with linings and cuffs and stuff.) He asked me what I do, and I told him, and he said he didn't know that girls could be mathematicians -- he thought it was only guys.
