So we were in the grocery store tonight, and I was looking for something or another, and came across a young child (I *think* it was a girl, it had long hair in two braids, so we’ll call her a she, but I could be wrong, no offense meant) and her mother. The little girl [...]

So Thursday night Zain had his first real “freakout” – screaming and crying REALLY loud, in a way he hasn’t cried before. Mommy and I were quite worried/upset. What I *think* happened was that he had a serious tummyache, as mylocin (?) helped him for a while. To make matters worse though, I made that [...]

I used to think people up here just got really stupid when it came to driving in the rain, which puzzled me to no end because, haven’t they lived with this weather for many years? At least many more years than I have. You wouldn’t think it would take long to get used to driving [...]

So we went out driving in Vancouver (Washington, not Canada sadly) today. We went out to the lake park, but unfortunately a) they charge 2 bucks to get in and b) they only take cash. Let’s hear it for people living in the 70s! So all along the road on the way out there are [...]

Do you ever have a momentary lapse of faith in stop signs, turn signals, and painted white lines in general? Like, the lifetime of self-brainwashing we’ve done to convince ourselves that we are safe inside the invisible walls that leap from those aforementioned lines starts to waver and fade, like the heat rising off the [...]

No, our house didn’t get broken into, I’m talking about Access (Microsoft Access that is). So, over the last year or two I’ve taught myself a good deal about Access, and database stuff in general. No classes, all just muddled through of course (although I did finally get a class on Oracle reports recently!), but [...]

I don’t recall exactly when I started writing this, but at some point I was talking to someone (probably at work) about politics, and they called me a leftist or a liberal or a democrat or something. Now, I don’t necessarily define myself as any of those (especially not a Democrat), but I certainly wind [...]

Yes, I linked to Pitchfork’s image. So sue me. I haven’t read their review yet though, don’t want to be tainted. I’ve had about 4 full listens though so far (2 sort of on low volume background style first to adjust, then two loud listens in the car, with nothing else to focus on). So, [...]

So I’ve got this great new PDAphone gadget (that I’ll blog a bit more extensively about at some point), and I think I’ve almost got it set up so I can blog from it. As a halfway test run, I snapped this pic of poor Zain getting his 2 month shots on the camera, and [...]
