Really frickin' cool mug.

So, Jeff's on a business trip, and as we all know, I don't *like* it when he's away. It's a short trip this time, Sun-Wed, but it's slightly eviler than the other trips. 'Cause my birthday's on *Tuesday*. And while I'm an adult and fully realize that life isn't fair and that in the grand scheme of things, birthdays don't matter all that much, it still sucks. And, I'm pretty sure it's against some rule, somewhere.
Or, shorter version: *pout* *flop* *sigh*
~~~
Teacher reads kids The Graveyard Book, kids love it, teacher and kids make a fantastic mural.
If you haven't read it and don't want to see any spoilers whatsoever, save the link for later. But really, they're the tiniest of spoilers to my mind.

Coolest ticket machine thus far in human civilization.

Moby says some stuff I've been thinking about.

Great essay by Melissa Etheridge. Okay. So Prop 8 passed. Alright, I get it. 51% of you think that I am a second class citizen. Alright then. So my wife, uh I mean, roommate? Girlfriend? Special lady friend? You are gonna have to help me here because I am not sure what to call her now. Anyways, she and I are not allowed the same right under the state constitution as any other citizen. Okay, so I am taking that to mean I do not have to pay my state taxes because I am not a full citizen. I mean that would just be wrong, to make someone pay taxes and not give them the same rights, sounds sort of like that taxation without representation thing from the history books.
More at the link, of course.

As you know, Bob, the neighborhood in which we live has a *lot* of trees. Oh no, more than that. After living in a new housing community for three years, where the trees still needed to be tied to support sticks, there's an almost unbelievable amount of trees. Which means a truly unbelievable amount of leaves. These are great and Sam has a fabulous time playing in them. The interesting thing is, I never realized how much the leaves hid. When I look out the back windows, I now see *houses* that I didn't know were there. It's a trip and a half.
~~~
Sewing sounds. Not *with* sounds, but modifying a sewing machine to use the sounds as a pattern.
~~~
Ohmighods, you're not going to believe this but yesterday? I not only *saw* the sun, there was actual warm sunlight on my arm! I was happily shocked.
~~~
Lots of truly amazing cakes. They say that every bit of the cake and decorative bits are edible.
~~~
Sam has a toothbrush that plays two minutes of Kiss' Rock & Roll All Night, so that she knows how long to brush. She's taken to singing along with it, which is not only amusing but for some reason, very sweet. Though, she may be getting tired of me asking "Did you brush all your teeth on all sides?" But she agrees that she has, and toothbrushing is no longer a huge hassle for us. So, definitely yay, with a little awwww on the side.
