Elayna's back! Yay! She's taller, tanner, and still capable of getting soy sauce on her shirt with almost no effort whatsoever!

Man, I missed my kid. So good to hug her again, and hear her chatter away.

She showed us her Heelys, and managed to skate about ten feet on them. Just a truly weird shoe concept. But hey, she likes 'em.

Went to a nice meal at Mama Fu's last night. Miss Kid ate well, and I had yummy tofu over egg noodles.

Also had a nice non-kid surprise when I got home yesterday -- a copy of SImon Winchester's latest, A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Quake of 1906, from FirstLook Books! Since I'm a huge fan of The Professor and the Madman (the book about the early days of the OED, and the lunatic who chopped off his own penis and also submitted more definitions than anyone else) , I'm very psyched about anything Winchester writes.

Otherwise, not much exciting-wise. Work is still busy and stressful, which means that, although I'm being a Posty McPostit, I'm not exactly being a Ready McReadit*. So, as always, assume I haven't read anything on LJ.

Except that the Discovery landed. I read that. Like forty times in the last two minutes.

*Of course, I'm not Scottish, anyway.

Marc Cohn got shot in the head. According to the reports, he was released from the hospital and is doing fine.

Which means I don't have to feel too guilty when I say that:

A) Man, "Walking in Memphis" didn't suck that much.

and

B) He's co-headling with Suzanne Vega? He's a fucking one-hit wonder, she's one of the best artists of the last 25 fucking years. What the fuck?
