Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm woman enough to admit I had just as much fun at the Brickworld Lego Expo as the kids did. Lego Serenity!

Owen rushed across the floor to meet his favorite Youtuber, David Pickett who does the Nightly News at Nine Lego stop-motion animation. He walked up to the table, and said, "You're David M. Pickett! I'm lpett13 and I'm your biggest fan!" I took their picture and they talked Lego for a bit.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

You'd think there would be an "eat a fucking muffin whitey" joke in there, except it sounds too nom nom nom.

American Horror looks like three steps beyond American Gothic (anyone remember that show? with Gary Cole and Paige Turco?)

Heh. That was the first time i remembering seeing Gary Cole. The second was Office Space (I missed the Brady Bunch movies on purpose). That's a bit of contrast, I must say.

Because books.

I love Owen. I wish I had that much confidence sometimes.

That was the first time i remembering seeing Gary Cole.

I think the first thing I ever saw him in was the TV movie of Fatal Vision, which certainly set my impression of him for a while.

The guy who does Reasonably Clever was there--in fact, he did the Lego Serenity. Owen told him he didn't understand why he was doing a reboot of his webcomic. The guy then explained he was spoofing DC's recent comic reboot to which Owen replied, "Well, that makes sense."

Owen wins! Man, I can remember when you were pregnant with him. Time frigging flies.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Time frigging flies.

Seriously. I was amazed at how quick the dojo kids have grown. The baby is so close to walking and she is only 8 months old. Then I remember my own kids were that little just a second ago. I swear.

Nommy sushi for dinner. I'm ready to crawl in bed and sleep at least 12 hours. But first I'd have to get up and move.

I had one too! Well half a one and half a duck fat biscuit. And then a lot of venison chili and cornbread and apple crisp. YAY FALL!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

All the annoyances of today were more than made up for by the Rick Springfield concert. That's the most fun I've had at a musical performance in years and years. He cracked me up by repeatedly playing the opening chords of "Jessie's Girl" after announcing new songs to keep people from mobbing the port-a-potties.

Set list included most of his big hits including "Affair of the Heart," "Don't Talk to Stangers," "Bop 'til You Drop," "Love Somebody," "Human Touch," and of course "Jessie's Girl." He also came out to perform "Kristina" for the encore, and 62-year-olds should not look that good without a shirt.
