Happy Birthday to my dear little brother, hideousallusion!

Leif is currently wearing too big, cutoff, camo pants and a hideousillusion-decorated green shirt that is starting to get too small. He has a bedhead full of hair tinted purple from our kool-aid experiment last week.

He looks like a midget teenage punk.

I should be asleep. I have to wake up in 6 hours, and tomorrow is a fun fun day of train and bus rides. Whee ( Read more... )

I don't feel like updating ( Read more... )

Ah, the joys of having a two year old. Leif took a long, late nap and refused to eat dinner. Then he woke up and fed his mashed potatoes to his stuffed kitty. He still hasn't actuallly eaten anything himself ( Read more... )

My aunt Barbara died five years ago. She was a relatively prominent archaeologist (in New England, anyways), focusing on the Native American tribes in New England.

Thanksgiving was a little bit of a mess. We went to my grandparents' house, where Leif ate too many persimmons. After he woke up from his post-dinner nap, he had the runs, with the accompanying sore tummy and diaper rash. He cried and fussed most of the rest of the night. Poor little dude ( Read more... )

We have enough to survive for a while, and neither of us is opposed to taking whatever job we can get if it comes to that. Hopefully we can earn enough selling random stuff on ebay ( Read more... )

The trip to Davis went pretty well. Leif slept 3 of the 4 flights. The other flight (second half of the flight to Sacramento) was pretty bad - we were stuck on the runway at O'Hare for about an hour before taking off (Big surprise. I don't think I've ever had a flight out of O'Hare that wasn't stuck on the runway for an hour) and Leif got a little ( Read more... )

Today I was riding the bus, with Leif in his carrier. He was sleepy, and just kind of staring up at me. He wasn't moving, not even blinking, and for a moment I was afraid he'd somehow died. Then I touched him, and he moved, and my heart rate slowly returned to normal ( Read more... )
