Baby love…

09/02/2010

Or rather "Babies:"  A documentary I watched yesterday afternoon.  One year, four different cultures, and four delicious babies equals one delightful film!

Three of the baby families had a cat, while one had a dog (or two), and one of the cat family's had a dog, too.  I think.  It's hard to tell because there were a lot of animals (livestock) involved in two of the families.  It doesn't matter because there were babies!

No, I don't love babies at all.  Especially not breast fed adorable little chubby babies.

Just watch out for Bayar's sociopath older brother.  Okay, he's probably not really a sociopath — but when you watch him watching the camera watching him while he is misbehaving?  Well, you just might think so, too!

I'm just saying if you have a thing for patient dogs and cats, and babies?  Yeah, you should watch this one!

And I got nothing.  Unless…

Did anyone catch episode 5 of  "Project Runway" on the internet?  Because:

Gretchen should have been sent home.  Seriously.  She has proven so annoying and overbearing that everyone on that team just cowtowed to her without a struggle.  How could she not see the way others would keep their head down or turned away from her?  She couldn't, because she made it all about her with her constant remarks of how well they were all working together.

That team threw itself under the bus.  Poor Michael C!  The designers were still annoyed that he was able to pull a design out his ass and win last week's challenge.  Even Michael didn't even realize how well his dress looked and was just as surprised as everyone else when he won!  But to not even allow his input to a team he put together?!?

AJ's designs were a bit too kooky for me (although episode 4's was a stunner despite the hat) but I know plenty who would wear them with pride.  I did think his shirt dress was crap, but so was the rest of the "Luxe" collection.  The whole Luxe look was just so Virginia Slims 1980.

And none of this really even matters because the Minikins received some new toys!

Dooce Community way back in November? No.  Well!

*Sigh.*

You really need to check it out!

Since November I've responded to like 1070 questions and asked a few of my own.  So it's safe to say I've spent some time there.  Yeah, I like it way better than Facebook or Twitter!

Well, anyway!

There are some Dooce members that ask some very personal and/or out there kinda questions (and pholks will answer them in great detail).  I've even answered some because I thought my answer could help (or entertain) a few.

A few days ago I broke down and posted personal question of mine own — because I had to know:


Click the image above to read the (maybe not so safe for work) responses (and go to Dooce Community!).

Now the thing is, here lately?  I have been eating peanut butter on toast almost every day because I mistakenly bought this peanut butter thinking it was just creamy peanut butter (as opposed to crunchy).  And that stuff is good!.

But I'd been getting a whiff of that "peanut butter" odor several times over the past few years.  No, I didn't say anything to my doctor.  There were no other symptoms and I really thought it just had to be my imagination because who's vayjayjay smells like peanut butter?

Oh, mine!

I knew I could ask this question of my Doocemates because somebody in the the community always seems to have an answer for anything.  Yes, we're a very diverse group!

Well.  No one did.  Oh, but there were others with odd vayjayjay scents, so I still felt in good company better.

Finally I decided to ask my Darling Husband if he'd ever noticed a peanut butter scent.

(I'll let you imagine on that for a second.)

And so…

…I was able to post this for all my Doocemates to enjoy:


Click the image above to read the responses and go to Dooce Community again for even more maybe not so safe for work replies! 

And then the issue was brought up again (see CrisLawson's response)!

Which prompted me to start working on a post about my questions and remarks from my doocemates last night — oh, but there's more!

Because this morning I was gifted with a kicker!

Dooce wrote a post featuring a different community question.  It's a lovely post regarding her recent wedding anniversary.   And I'm reading on and on, and then to her closing line…

Oh, it's not what you're thinking.

It's because of where I live — smack in the middle of Bluegrass Airport's arrival and departure routes. 

No, I don't live at the airport!  (Slly!)  My house is situated in the paths of so many of those routes (about 10 miles from the airport).

Lots of planes flying low over our house.

A plane could go down upon on our house.

Or go Donnie Darko on us.

And!

I've added a couple of new pages!  Food and Activity diaries…logs…whatever.

I'm thinking if I make these things out there — in front of God and everybody — then I'll do a better job of reaching my goals:

  • Becoming healthy and fit
  • Getting my house in order

We.  Shall.  (ALL!)  See.

…this site is maybe 2% from being back to normal.

Thank you.  I do feel better.

I haven't been feeling so well since a week ago today.  I think it may be just getting used to a new med.  One can hope.  I'm also hoping the new med is the reason behind my eye sight sucking so badly this week, too.

*Sigh.*

Today I'm pushing myself to get some stuff done no matter how I feel.  I want to avoid taking a nap, too.  I need to get back to my "early to bed – early to rise" schedule again.  I find I'm more productive when I get up at the crack of dawn (5-6 am) like I did today.  Eight or nine am just isn't cutting the mustard.

Here is a picture of the baby cat sleeping next to my laptop:

T. J.

He makes naps look good!

…catching up on Project Runway — the only reality TV I like.

Unless you count “House Hunters”. Or “This Old House” (which I’ve been watching since 1979). Dahamn! It’s been on the air a long time, Heh.

I watched the first four episodes on my computer because most of our cable channels went by the by during the budget cuts my unemployment status required.

It’s actually a much better way to watch TV: There are no commercials. And most shows you can just listen to and then check in when you hear something you wanna see. I love it when Tim Gunn comes into the workroom to check on the designers.

Watching TV on the internet saves a lot of time what with the lack of commercial breaks and multi-tasking one can do instead of just sitting in front of the television in a high definition trance.

I do like watching some design shows from time to time, but I can’t watch anything like that on a regular basis because it makes me wanna do some things I really can’t afford. (Like I really need to take on any more projects!)

Except that one with the hair stylist competition. Or that poor dog grooming competition.

*gag*

Oh, please! Like I’m the only one who feels this way!

… is being remade in via Hollywood.  It looks like they're going to remake the whole trilogy.

  • The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
  • The Girl Who Played With Fire
  • The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

I've already seen these movie as made in Denmark Sweden and Spain.  There were all awesome. 

I wonder why Hollywood feels the need to make their own versions?  Will they have bigger budgets?  Will the scripts be the same? 

It's going to be interesting to make comparisons.

I'm going to read the books for now…
