I'm pretty sure disney made that

I knew the poetry was going to be bad when it opened with, "Everyday is Auschwitz for animals."

stuff white people like

I have a starving baby since I have spent so much time reading stuff white people like.
Speaking of something that will inevitably be written on that blog I am going to published in a magazine written for women about women, I must be gifted.

Adia Update:
Spencer spent the morning cooking in the kitchen. He finally collapsed on the bed and let his feet hang off the side. I found Adia picking rice off his feet and eating it.

a diva is born

Adia is pretty ruthless, for a baby.
We fell asleep together while I was nursing her. She woke up first and to get me to move she took the nipple of her pacifier in her hand and slammed the plastic end into my face several times.

nosey neighbors

I live with my landlord below me.
I know nothing about her and despite my efforts I never got any information. I gave up and just googled her name. Not only did I find out where she was April 3rd 2006 I found audio recordings of her narrating her life.
Since she was 16 she wanted to be a fisherman. Repeatedly she was rejected until one day while enrolled in Evergreen College she was hired to come within a week to Alaska to come aboard a fishing ship. Once there the cops were arresting the man who hired her on rape and child molestation charges. She was stranded in Alaska with little money. She finally found some jobs and ended up fishing in Norway. I'm still listening to the recordings.
I am a big fan of This American Life and I blame them for my joy in these findings.

maybe if I stop feeding her she will stop pooping

I'm kicking myself now. I have officially posted messy pictures of my baby eating. In my defense this it looks like she is a zombie baby and has finished devouring a healthy human. Spencer was frustrated this morning that zombies are all the rage, example, example, example, example.
Previous to this we have had a conversation about pomegranates being all the rage. It's pretty funny that they both seem to be in fashion at the same time since pomegranates are the food of the dead.

Speaking of eating strange meat, at Norwescon I saw a woman grab a slice of bologna spread peanut butter on it and smile as she took a bite.

we've been waiting for a whale

Last night I had a dream.
* *wavey scene transition* *
There was a man trying to get Spencer and I to stay at his camp. He opened a box that was as big as a T.V. Neatly packaged inside was every cartoon ever made in chronological order.
"What year were you born?" he asked. There was a definite hint of pure evil in his voice.
"84."
"Oh than you liked My Little Ponies."
I feigned enthusiasm. Although reliving my pony rage would be fun, for the most part 80's cartoons really sucked. He should have temped me with the cartoons from the 30's-40's. I'm a sucker for those surrealist Little LuLu and Betty Boops.
I told him we really needed to go.
Spencer and I took off and ran until we got to the end of a cul-de-sac.
Black clothed torsos with ninja masks fell from the sky landing in the grass ahead of us. Spencer and I stop breathless in the center scared to go further.
"We are the limbless ninjas watch us EXPLODE!" With that they exploded. There was a wall of fire and smoke ahead of us. When it clears the limbless ninjas miraculously their unharmed bodies appeared to the right of us and begin to repeat their motto.
They fade as a new song begins to crescendo over them "Love, love, love..." A chorus surrounded us. They were normal people with a few people in animal costumes and street performer clothes. This eclectic group surrounds us leaving an opening for the marching band that accompanies. The band is an over the top replica of the animated Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band . They are some are on stilts. They are distorted and lead everyone in singing "All You Need is Love."

Spencer and I broke through the crowd and ran through a field.
Teenage Pete Townsend tackled Spencer. I helped break Spencer free as we continued being chased by Townsend who was then joined by Mark Hamill dressed in the fighter pilot outfit. We reached the end of a tall dock. This was our pick up location for a whale to come and return us to our home.
Townsend was still after us, I explained to Hamill that we don't want to go to the camp, he decided he would fight on our side, jumped in a truck and ran over Townsend.
This happened on the dock which then began falling into the water from the weight.
Hamill, in the truck, was the first to start sliding into the water. Hamill saluted and gave us a half smile as his truck slowly rolled off the dock. Townsend was less graceful, clinging to the increasingly vertical dock his hands slipped and he fell screaming into the water.
Spencer and I follow.

give me a hand for this one

When I was in the 2nd grade someone gave a report about starfish.
cool starfish fact:
If they lose an arm the grow another.
I was so bored.
Why was this cool? Humans did it too. I didn't tell anyone this for fear of being wrong.
I had seen people with missing limbs but they were in the process of growing a new one.

Jesus will make you jump jump


When lil sis was around the age 5 she liked to draw pictures of Jesus.
This one is my favorite titled, "Jump rope with Jesus."
I can't find any of the other ones.

My brother told me his son is doing the same thing now. My nephew (5) drew a picture of him protecting Jesus from the bad guys in Halo.
