Charlie was in her rocking chair, waking up after a nap. I noticed that she was tugging at her sock, so I pulled it off for her. She gave me this big grin of gratitude and spent some time working to get said toes into her mouth. This is her new hobby. She hasn't quite gotten to chew on them yet, but she's close. One day, she will prevail.

I was taking this survey on music...they played me a bunch of clips of "smooth jazz" and I was supposed to say which varation of yay or nay I felt. Unfortunately, they didn't have a button for "Dear ghods! The vast majority of this all sounds the same! I could string the clips together to make one song, and nobody would notice anything weird about it!".

I guess I just like my jazz bumpy.

I've got one of those battery-powered toothbrushes. About a month ago, the batteries gave out. I turned it on and *nothin'*. I stood there and thought "Oh great. How am I going to brush my teeth *now*?"...and it took me about a minute before my brain kicked in. It took a week or two before I stopped turning it on before I brushed, and a bit longer before I stopped turning it off when I was done.

I think I'll get an old fashioned toothbrush next time, just to simplify things.

This is a remarkably addictive word game. Letter tiles (ala Scrabble) show up and you have to make words from them, till there are no tiles left.
