Well, some asshole just tried to run me over while I was in a crosswalk. That'll get your blood pumping.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yipes, shrift! That happened to me once when I was pregnant, and I still haven't let it go.

You are a good sister, Consuela, sorry that it didn't turn up the phone.

So Frances got a bee in her bonnet that she wanted to make Japanese cheese cake, so we made this recipe. The batter was delicious, but I know I left a few lumps in it. I hope it turns out well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yipes, shrift. Glad they didn't succeed!

I hope it turns out well.

How could it be bad?

Er, it could be lumpy? Or we could get impatient and try to cut it before it cools and so it'll just drool all over the plate. But so far it looks pretty tasty.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Weekend adventures in parenting: Ryan's just finished his shower, and is singing to himself in the bathroom. Conversation follows.

Biyi: "What's he singing?"
Me: "I can't tell. Who knows what goes through the minds of seven year old boys?"
Ryan: [pokes his head out of the bathroom] "THAT'S RACIST!"

So apparently I need to check my privilege.

hivemind, I saw on facebook and then posted somewhere else on facebook (a while ago) a clip from a podcast (I think) of two or three guys talking about being scared of the deep water in swimming pools. They went on about the DARK water - and it made me laugh til I cried and now I cannot find it with my google fu. anyone know what I am talking about?

Well, that seems pretty reasonable.

Nearly getting mowed down in crosswalks is something that happens often when you're a pedestrian in a city, but this one was so close a lady actually was yelling from the sidewalk. I was paying attention, but the dude just gunned it on a left turn.

In less interesting news, some basil I bought from the grocery store sprouted while I had it in water, so I've put it in a window planter to see how it will do.

Ah, Ryan!

In less interesting news, some basil I bought from the grocery store sprouted while I had it in water, so I've put it in a window planter to see how it will do.

Ooh, I hope the basil cutting on my desk is still working toward sprouting. How would I get it home, though? Just damp paper towels?
