after years of avoiding the chicken dance, it comes into my life

[amand_r]

1. So I got me a wordpress blog, and I was in the process of filling in the profile when Firefox kept crashing, and I was all, "WTF?" But it turns out it wasn't my computer, it was rabies. Poor firefox. (h/t MOM)

2. hlh_shortcuts IS OPEN AGAIN. SIGN UP FOR THE CRIMMASTIME.

3. Last night I wrote the end of my s4 by hand. It was glorious. Now to fill in those things in the middle. What do people call them? Oh yes. "Episodes".

4. IT'S DECORATIVE GOURD SEASON, MOTHERFUCKERS. (h/t Sam)

4. Thanks for all the story ideas people! I think I'm going to focus on something that is going to be (11) 5K chapters, and structure it around that idea.

5. Vote for the best Father Ted Ep here. MY LOVELY HORSE. (h/t earthly_gnome

6. So I let Viv watch Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone Tuesday night, mostly because I was sick and wanted to watch something, and after the mess that was trying to get her to look away from the TV during Crimson Rivers, I didn't want to have to worry about censoring.

She liked it. I don't think she understood about half of it, but she liked it.

Her: (looking at the DVD) Who's that?
Me: That's Harry Potter!
Her: She's beautiful. (emphasis hers)
Me: He's a little boy.
Her: He's beautiful. (emphasis hers)

I ♥ my kid.

The Crimmas morning scene:

Me: I want a sweater with my initial on it.
Her: Yeah!
Me: A big A.
Her: Oh, yeah, sweetie!
Me: In red. A big. Red. A.
Her: I want a green A!

Why did she start calling you sweetie? :) I love it.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

She calls everyone sweetie, and I think it's because I tack it onto things when I talk to her.

[irisdragonfly.livejournal.com]

THE SHOW definitely seems like something I WANT TO BE A PART OF... esp the bear with the eyepatch.

all you need is a plush stripper pole.....so. yeah, you might wanna get around to making that. CHOP CHOP!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

She stuffs money down all their fronts! i dunno what that's about.

Ah yeah. and that hat the other bear is wearing is from Benin! He's a foreign exchange student.

DOUBLE BUNNY EARS. Are you sure your kid hasn't been watching some David Lynch?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

i dunno. I just think that of all the things on the sofa, she chose to put the rabbit ears on the thing that already has them.

[amonitrate.livejournal.com]

IT MATCHES.

[valancy-joy.livejournal.com]

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

[electrictoes.livejournal.com]

Your kid is too cute.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

IT'S SO I DON'T SELL HER.

[bugeyedmonster.livejournal.com]

Well, of course... she's so cute and adorable that you would never want to sell her to the circus.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAAHAHAHA MAYBE TO THE GYPSIES. THEY'D LOVE HER.

I've worn the letters off of my work keyboard and while that's fine by me, people who hunt and peck and want to use my computer are like WTF?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't always look at the keyboard, but when I code, I keep pressing the m instead of the...sideways carrot thing.

[blue-fjords.livejournal.com]

You finished?! Hot damn!!! The middle will sort itself out. Congratulations!!!!

And that Harry Potter story is darling.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I DID! I KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT ENDS, AND IN MY MIND I CAN SEE THE DIALOGUE THEN THE ACTIONS THAT LEAD TO THEM DRIVING AWAY AND THE MUSIC COMING IN, PAN AWAY FROM THE CITY AND THEN THE CREDITS ROLL.

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

Well, now I know what to get her for CNY...

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

a hooker?

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

Yes, precisely. I mean, that had already been the plan, I'm just glad to know you're down with it.

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

I think mah Firefox has the rabies too. Keeps crashing. PITA.

Viv + HP is adorable. Sweetie.
