At the torch parade/protest in San Francisco

And would we have allowed Leni Riefenstahl to film it? Well, would we??

Thanks, Gray and Deadro!

Run the Show

Which do I love more, those shoes or this song?

(You can also hear it in Spanish.)

Viva Absolut!

I don't even like vodka, but I'm gonna drink it now.

Thanks, Hilary!

The flying man

I got this wall rosary on eBay. It glows in the dark and it's really big. James wanted to hold it so I gave it to him, and he looked at the crucifix, which is almost 8 inches long, and said "It's a flying man!" I guess if you really, really dig airplanes as much as James does, you could see an airplane in that silhouette. So he starts running around the room with it, going "Vroom, vroom, it's a flying man!"

His mother said, "That's Jesus, honey." So James keeps flying the crucifix around the room, saying "Vroom, vroom, it's Jesus flying!"

Clearly this child has no godparents.

I think this speaks for itself.

Age-appropriate reading material

The topic of this book is fascinating and the photographs are just stunning. James loves the book of spider photographs I gave him when he was smaller, so I thought he'd like this one, too.

We were almost all the way through it before it occurred to me that showing a three-year-old a book about eating bugs is maybe not the best idea in the world.

Bet she can ace the Mini Mental

I saw an interview of this doctor on TV several years ago. I was fascinated, if a wee bit spooked.

I was happy to learn of this video. I recommend setting aside time to watch the whole thing, all the way to the end.



I just watched it stoned.
