heh, all fear Grrl Sue

You are Mulier badasstica pseudofeminista,
the Grrl Sue. Your aggressively bitchy
"feminist" stance only causes men /
boys / male elves to posture the more, and you
fall for it. And them. Surprise, surprise.

Heh, Grrl Sue. That makes me giggle. :)

I bought a Snuggli (carrier thingie that holds your baby against your chest/stomach) from a woman online for $5. It arrived yesterday. It took me some time to figure out how to put it on, but once I did, I discovered that it doesn't have a strap that goes around the waist. I thought it would have that. I guess that only comes on the other brands, or something. Well, it's hard to know whether I'll really feel the need for the waist strap until the baby arrives. I also want to get at least one sling/wrap thingie, but I can't decide between the various styles/brands.

There's so much research to do!! Every time I think I've made a decision on one thing and can put that behind me, I discover that there are whole big aspects of that thing that I haven't even considered yet. Arrggggh. Having a baby didn't used to be this complicated a couple hundred years ago. ;)

random amusement and weirdness

This never fails to crack me up:

(Mike Ford doing William Shatner voice)
I'd like to tell you ... about...
things that would blow your mind, Scotty.
Starships run with engines the size of a walnut!
Walnuts! Run with engines the size of starships!
A man barely alive!
We can rebuild him.
We can make him ... better. Bigger! Stronger!
Faster, The King! Of! SPAIN!!!!

If you don't know Moxy Fruvous, you are *so* deprived. Snif. I feel for you.

Random things that are weird:

1. This morning I'm sitting at a red light, waiting. Across the intersection is a guy in a huge moving truck, also waiting. Traffic is flowing in the other direction as normal. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the moving truck guy drives into the intersection. Cars coming the other way (the direction that HAS the green light, mind you) honk in confusion, but stop for him because, well, he's a humongous truck and they're just a little tin-can car. He proceeds to drive through the intersection -- against the red light, in case you missed that point -- and pull over and park the truck at the side of the street. *scratch head* WTF?

2. I have discovered that I no longer like Doritos. This is a source of much consternation. I sure hope I'll start liking them again after I'm not pregnant any more? Eh? Or maybe I should hope not? I mean, they're awful for you and all, but they're so yummy! Or at least I used to think so! And since I don't like potato chips, where does that leave me, snack-chip-wise? Wah. Anyway, it's the weirdest thing. It took me a while to clue in, too. I kept eating Doritos because I figured, hey, I've always liked them. But then suddenly I realized that I didn't. I was eating them, but my mouth was just going "ehhh" instead "yum, more more!"

3. edie22. What? She's weird. I dare you to deny it. I'm sayin'. ;)

4. Spike Lee suing over TNN changing its name to SpikeTV. He claims it's obvious that the new name refers to him. DUDE, self-absorbed much??? (Is anyone else having flashes to the "Sports Night" pilot? "Tell Spike Lee to sit down and shut up!")

5. The FBI hiring teenage girls to teach agents how to sound like teenage girls in chatrooms. It's fiendishly clever!! And funny! And moderately disturbing!

OK, enough randomosity for one post.... :)
