another night at Sick Kids

Nov 11, 2009 12:23

Do you know where _doesn’t_ have free wireless Internet? I totally do, and here it is: Sick Kids Hospital. See, I know this because right now as I'm typing this it’s 8:35 AM, and I’m typing this into a text editing program, because I can’t post it to the interbutts, because... yeah... I’m at Sick Kids! And there’s no free wireless!

( Cut for some length. This starts off with me talking about the visit and then veered into stream-of-consciousness rambling about all different things as I got more and more tired. You’ve been warned. )

argh, privilege, parenting, sick, sleep, racism, weight, off to hospital land, connor, me

Sounds like so much fun! /irony

Of course, I had to look up Circle Square immediately, and came upon this gem.

I'm SO glad I don't remember much about the 80s. Not that we had stuff like that here, but still.

How in the fuck did I forget about the puppets?!

SAD GIRL IS SO SAD. AWWWW.

Yeah, that clip pretty well encapsulates the trainwreckfuckery that is Circle Square. The girl at 1:55 is a real gem in particular. She has serial-killer eyes and a ten-thousand-yard stare.

Back in the BBS days there was an awesome game called Barney Splat!.

Basically, you got hired as an assistant on the show, and your secret mission was to arrange for the kids to have "accidents". Big wheels race with piano wire at the end, sugar in the buses gas tank, things like that. If you were feeling sufficiently perverse you could get one of the kids pregnant(by one of the other kids) and then kill the baby off.

I bet that swab was negative because there was so little sample collected. Sheebus.

That sounds like quite the horrible night. I am sorry, my dear, and I hope that you can all sleep better today.

Get some sleep you. I hope you don't have to work tonight.

Hope you're both doing better now...

few days ago I read a comment on an anti-racism blog from someone who talked about how he, as a little Korean boy, thought he couldn’t have exciting adventures, because the only people he ever saw/read about having exciting adventures were little white kids... He grew up fantasizing about being white so that he could have fun adventures too.

Reminds me of something my mom once told me, about deciding when she was a little kid that she wanted to be a cowboy when she grew up. Not a cowgirl, because they didn't get to do anything fun. Boys (cow- and otherwise) had all the adventures, so clearly if she wanted to have any fun she had to grow up to be a boy.
