one cute and one sucky

One cute thing: some guy is on a campaign to confuse his mom by getting people from all over the world to send her a random object each month: a postcard, a bottle cap, a business card.

Well, I think it's cute. :) Obviously this guy has too much free time on his hands, but still, in a weird way it shows that he loves his mom.

One sucky thing: the government laying down some really stupid rules about what TV shows can and can't be closed-captioned. I mean, WTF??? Doesn't Dubya get enough kicks from trampling civil rights and killing hundreds of brown-skinned children? Now he has to deny deaf people access to Scooby-Doo as well?? Grr, this makes me so mad. *steam*

On the plus side of the balance sheet, there's also this.

Oh my God, this freakin' government.

I don't know about Isaac, but Nate makes SO much noise, just in his daily life, playing and whatnot, I can't watch TV without captions anymore. It's so much better than having to shush him all the time, and plus, there's usually enough of a delay that I can look up and read a line I didn't quite hear the first time, especially if I was paying attention to Nate instead of the TV.

What on earth will I do without captions on the Simpsons?

what do you mean, I have too much time on my hands? hehe ok maybe you're right.

I hope you do send something to mom, though. The Postcard Project has really been fun so far.

Yes, I will send your mom a business card if I remember! I have a million of 'em sitting around here anyway. :)
