Other Wednesday stuffs

[yendi]

And today's busy enough that I can pretty much promise that this'll be my last post of the day (and there was much rejoicing).

We registered Elayna for school today. Same teacher, better classroom computer, and what looks to be a more active PTA. Yay!

We all ate at Crescent Moon for dinner last night. Yum! Elayna didn't like her chicken fingers, though, and when her grandpa and I tried them, we realized why -- they were actual freshly-cut strips of breast meat that were fried up, instead of processed crap. In other words, they're actually good. :-)

A nice surprise when we got home: Amazon delivered part of our order a day early. We now own a copy of yuki_onna's poetry cycle, Oracles: A Pilgrimage! I'll be reading that tonight.

I'm also helping jet_li_wannabe pack up for his trek to another time zone. So no worries about me getting exercise today. :-)

How do you feel about the early-starting school year?

[yendi]

I despise it, but in Dekalb, they're actually starting a week later than last year.

Of course, they're also starting 15 minutes earlier. Who the fuck starts school at 7:45?

[terracinque.livejournal.com]

I think DeKalb does.

[yendi]

*sigh*

Even as I hit "Post Comment" on that last one, I knew exactly what comment you'd respond with.

So do we say, "Fiver is reliable," or do we instead say "Fiver is predictable?"

[yendi]

Or maybe "Fiver is reliably predicable?"

[terracinque.livejournal.com]

Why don't we condense that down to "Fiver is sexy?"

Love the kid-hating-real-food story. Eleanor's picky in her own ways. When I realized that she would eat every ingredient of a stir-fry, but she wouldn't eat a stir-fry, I gave up. "Hey kid, you have to eat this food in a dead cooked less healthy form! (*)"

That does make it a pain to feed her in restaurants sometimes, though, and I'm trying to get her to open up a little about food.

And then of course there was the Tantrum For Tofu.

(*) No meat involved, obviously.

[yendi]

A tantrum for tofu? Man, I wish we'd get that lucky. :-)

Love the stirfry story!

[terracinque.livejournal.com]

I'm betting a Tantrum For Tofu is rarely co-symptomatic with being Coo-Coo for Cocoa Puffs.

[ckd]

Tofu Puffs!

We now own a copy of yuki_onna's poetry cycle, Oracles: A Pilgrimage! I'll be reading that tonight.

You think you will. I have absconded with it.

[yendi]

Then you need to have finished it by tonight. Duh.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

You're going to be too tired to read tonight anyway. You're helping Mike(y) move.

[yendi]

That just makes me physically tired. My brain will be well-rested.

*eyes you warily*

I get it first because I have to suffer my parents for 5 hours more than you do every day.

Unremittingly.

[yendi]

But I have dibs on all poetry! It's in the ketubah!

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Is not. And y'know what is in the ketubah? That I have dibs on EVERYTHING while my parents are in town. And the week before and after.

You really need to learn to read Hebrew.
