The "official photographer" didn’t do so hot
The Birthday Niece Light box enlargement Scads of nieces and nephews at yesterday’s birthday part. From the right, there’s a nephew, there’s a nephew held by a sister, there’s a niece right below reaching for something amongst the paper plates and the birthday girl niece beside her. Well, not scads, I guess. One more nephew…

I personally think the second dino was eaten
Re the prior post. Memory is funny. I went to look at the Registration Desk painting I’d linked to and it promptly spat back at me one particular video I was listening to when working on the carpet and one of the walls of the yellow-green lit back room. Now we have all those other…

Ah, gee, Google, stop with the love, you're embarrassing me
How sweet. Looking at searches that bring people here, I find that my blog comes up #1 in Google for the search… oven smells like mouse urine …because of my recent kitchen post which mentioned nothing about mouse urine but someone else’s one time problem with it was discussed in the comment area. This post…

This is the level we're working on today
So, I mix up some blueberry muffins but then we spend 20 minutes looking for the muffin pan and can’t find it. You’ve seen pics of our kitchen. If we can’t find it, the muffin pan’s not there. It left home. So Marty is going to run get a muffin pan and goes to get…

Mundane observations
1) Brush teeth with mint toothpaste 2) Immediately thereafter pop a Flintstones Gummies vitamin… 3) While your son is getting cabbage-filled pot stickers out of the microwave What happens is intense, but not a treat for the senses. Another tastebud curiosity. Explain to me how it is that H.o.p., who is about the finickiest eater…

The citizens of which nation are semi-obsessed with finding meteors?
Swedish people, for whatever reason, are very interested in whether or not the rock they found on their last hike could be a meteorite. Don’t believe me? Follow the link. And Washington University in St. Louis is sick of it. They don’t want you contacting them any more and asking if you have a meteorite,…

In which I beg for ideas on how to maximize our kitchen counter room
Witness the kitchen of our apartment. Most of the time, on blogs, people show pics of really cool looking kitchens which, if not bodaciously spacious, are aesthetically pleasing. They show pics of their new tiled floors or new ceramic tiled backsplashes. Not many people put up pics of ugly kitchens which don’t have a title…

Trying to not terrify H.o.p. with worries over sustainablity and resources, while endeavoring to nurture awareness
For many years now I’ve been trying to impress on H.o.p. an attitude of being somewhat content with not pursuing, in the name of Green, superconsumerism. This has fallen on deaf ears with respect to toys…and when he first saw the large houses in which his friends live, and their expansive backyards, I worried that…

Fleeting time
Bizarre how this week went flying by, and then I realize it’s because of the movies. Spent Thursday night watching “Salome” and spent Wednesday night watching “Nights of Cabiria” (twice) and spent all Tuesday night watching George Pal shorts with H.o.p. plus the documentary and discussing it all at length.

Unappreciated
We’ve a houseguest for the next several days so I bleached the bathroom good and he in turn gave me shortbread cookies from a bakery in NY that I love. I like the personality that old buildings have, but one of the drawbacks of living in a 90 year old apartment building is the bathroom’s…

Ride the Time Machine
What fun. BoingBoing points to the below Atlanta access DANCE-O-RAMA bit o’ episode from the early 1980s in which RuPaul teaches all how to dance the Timothy Leary inspired “Freakout!” to The Glass Family’s “I’m Losing it”. I’ve not seen anything this funny in a while.

The Amazing Aquasaur!
Now this is how you do (or don’t) start blogging again. You write a post and go to save it only to find your website has gone down and said post falls plunk into the void. Said post wasn’t about the new bookshelves (yes from IKEA) that we got, which we’ve needed since October for…
