Careful what you ask for.
Last week was Princess's (child #3) birthday. We asked her what she wanted to have for her birthday dinner and she said McDonald's. That really wasn't what we wanted, so we made a few attempts to talk her out of it, but she held firm. That's what you get when you leave dinner plans in the hands of a 4-year-old.
In the end she had a blast which, of course, was the point. You can see some pictures of the day on my wife's blog here. Just ignore the freak with the fries.
Part of me longs for the days when going to McDonald's and playing in the play area constituted the best way to spend a Saturday. No mortgages, no jobs, and no worries about how many germs were in that big freaking pit of plastic balls.
I miss the wonder. I didn't know what it was when I had it. Does any kid? But now that it's gone, well, you get the point.
Ho Hum
So here I am in the rehearsal hall, waiting for rehearsal which will start in about 15 minutes. I am looking at my horribly-lacking-in-updates blog and thinking, I should really update this thing. There is just one problem which you have probably already guessed. I have nothing to say.
Absolutely nothing.
I almost find myself wishing for the Hell Hole just to get some good stories. Then I remember why I named it the Hell Hole in the first place and I come to my senses.
I did just finally see Iron Man. It was okay. Parts of it were really cool and I thought Robert Downey Jr. was great. Maybe it was the fact that I had heard such great things about it, but I was a little let down. It was still good, but not as good as I wanted it to be. Next up on the ole Netflix queue is Juno. I'll try to keep my expectations low.
All in all, I'd rather be asleep.
Well, when it’s your time to go…
My jaw hit the floor when I heard this story from the BBC.
When it's your time to go, I guess it's your time go.
Migration
Ok, so I finished moving a bunch of old posts over. Yay! However, if you look at the archives, you'll see that I am still missing the first year and a half of posts. I am also missing November 2007 through March 2008. I know you are all holding your breath, so I will add those soon. As soon as I figure out where I put them.
And for those of you who miss F.O.O., just look in the Work Pains category. Plenty of Hell Hole goodness has been restored.
