tweets, 3/23-24/10
I have a lot of thoughts rattling around up there but I don't have the energy to sort them all out, so I'll let my tweets for the last couple of days serve as writing prompts.
We are sad: We'll watch some *I Spy* tonight in his memory.

Robert Culp died. We LOVE Robert Culp. One of the surrealish sad things about preferring to watch TV shows from previous generations is that many of the people you see on the screen and come to think of as acquaintances (don't look at me funny! You're all addicted to Lost! And this is different how?) are either dead already or will be soon. This evening we put in a DVD and watched a 35-year-old athletic ladies' man who actually just died today at the age of 79 get himself into and out of espionage-ish scrapes. (It was a really good episode.) It was comforting and sad at the same time: He'll always be 35 for us. (Well, except when we watch Greatest American Hero* and he's fiftyish.)
*I bet you totally have that theme song stuck in your head now. Evil, thy name is Rachel.
I now have a phone with a camera in it, just in time for the year 2000! Oh, wait.

Only because my old phone was on its last legs. I really do like the new one though, even though the camera is (as I knew it would be) lame. I do like that I can transfer pictures to it via memory card (see below) and use my own shots as backgrounds. I got so everlastingly tired of the boring stock images in my old phone, and I'm way too cheap to download new ones. Yes, I know I could transfer the pictures through the air just like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but even if I wanted to spend $10 a month on a data package (and I don't; see above re: cheap), data transfer doesn't work 'round these here parts anyway.
Just bought a 2GB Micro-SD card for $10. That's $2000 worth of hard drives in 1995 money; could lose it in a coin purse. Where's my jetpack? about 8 hours ago via webWow! That is such an original thought and I am sure I am the only person on the planet clever enough to think of it while looking at the memory-card display at Wal-Mart! Did you know that the sky is blue? It seriously is!
OK, whom do I have to befriend to get one of these for a pet?

SERIOUSLY. Cutest baby animals EVER. My husband is all, "They just look like puppies," and I am all, "Yeah, if puppies were so eye-searingly cute that you couldn't look at them for five minutes without exploding from the buildup of glee." Did you see them?
C and I are thinking about auditioning for a community theater play. You only live once, right? Worst they can do is laugh. For days. At me.

I alternate between thinking this is a crazydumb idea and nevermind, and thinking this is a crazydumb idea but I already told Claire and the Internet about it so I'd better go through with it because I can't lie. Hi yeah I'm totally going to go sing on a stage in front of strangers. By myself. Ha ha! It'll be a lark. Or else, you know, it'll be a memory that makes me cringe on a daily basis for the next fifty years.
My new theory: "The Book Report" from *You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown* was carefully engineered to stick in human brains and never leave. 3:05 PM Mar 23rd via webIt's unfortunate, though, that there are four people singing that song at once, because otherwise it would be a fantabulous audition piece. DO YOU SEE HOW CRAZYDUMB THIS IDEA IS. I just typed the phrase "audition piece", for crying out loud.
I love teaching my son algebra, especially when he just GETS it. Systems of equations today = my momgeekery firing on all twelve cylinders.

I looked ahead in his book and I'll be teaching him to complete the square in a couple of weeks and that is so full of awesome that I seriously think each morning about how it's one day closer to completing the square. As if completing the square were Disneyland. (It's maybe better. It doesn't cost $60 per person, and there are no crowds.)
I try not to want to smack Kit Kittredge, but every time Claire watches this insufferable movie, the urge is stronger.
This is really not like me but my gosh I just cannot stand that character. She's so... smug. And saccharine. And self-important. And too-cute-for-words. And I'm a hateful bitter cynic who should spend the rest of her life sitting by her window waving her cane at the neighborhood and yelling GET OFF MY LAWN. I know.

I think it's hilarious that the baby otters' father is named Babar. Do you suppose he has delusions of elephanthood?
