Well, last night I babysat Molly, Cynthia and Francis' daughter, at the party at the dojo.

Cynthia was remarkably pissed at me what with me being an hour late and all (and got even more pissed when I told her that I couldn't sit on her birthday, 'cause I forgot which day it was and am doing something else that night, but that's a different story).

Molly apparently has only two moods, laughing with glee and weeping in absolute despair, and she seems to flip back and forth between them fairly arbitrarily, whatever the outside stimuli.

Are all 15 month olds like that, or is it just her?

Anyway, we wandered around the neighbourhood, and got some pizza, which was a big hit, though she seemed somewhat more interested in rubbing it all over her body than actually eating it. The funniest part was when she picked up the slice (which was nearly as big as she is) and clutched it to her chest, crowing "Pizza!"

Need I add that she held it to herself messy side in?

Didn't think so.

I was in the grocery store and I was shopping (get back!) and I was sort of glancing at the Entemann's display, though I od'ed on Entemann's chocolate chip cookies about 12 years ago and can't even look at them anymore. Anyway, I noticed an item called "Rich Frosted Poppettes"

???!!!

I couldn't even begin to guess what they were. It's like those colour names in the Tweeds catalogue (what the heck colour might "Arthur" be?). I sort of stood there for a minute, trying to envision a "Poppette" and was completely baffled, so I looked.

In case you're wondering, it's a little chocolate donut.

The Shining is coming, The Shining is coming!!!

Yay!!!

Now, I am a big fan of the book, certainly Stephen King's masterpiece, and I've always thought that the movie was a big steaming pile of shit, Stanley Kubrick or no.

The only great thing, let alone good thing was the trailer with the elevator full of blood, which was excellent cool but wasn't even in the movie! And the conceit of having Jack Nicholson be a complete nutburger from frame one was interesting, seeing as it somewhat weakened the journey into madness that he was supposed to be taking. And the maze instead of the topiary (though I understand that was because the effects were impossible at the time), and Halloran getting axed when he was supposed to live till the end, and Danny saying that Tony was a little boy who lived in his mouth and the thing with the finger, not to mention leaving out the boiler, o and just everything!

God, I hope they did it right this time.

The tears in the back of the legs of my jeans are getting so big that it's getting difficult to put them on and have my foot come out of the right hole!

Alright, I give up, I'm buying new jeans.
