Totally awesome  
If you loved Neil Patrick Harris in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (and who didn't?), this is possibly just as awesome. Embedding is disabled but you can see it on YouTube. Neil Patrick Harris as the Shoe Fairy on Sesame Street.

Soooooooo funny. :)

Jamie really, really amazes me sometimes. He's so interested in space. I went into the bedroom to fold clothes a few minutes ago and found this (amazingly detailed) drawing on the floor. Notice how Uranus' rings are even going the correct way! He's a pretty awesome kid. :)


In case you're not sure, the labels are Sun (with solar flares!), M(ercury), V(enus), E(arth), M(ars), A(steroid Belt), J(upiter), S(aturn), U(ranus), N(eptune), P(luto), K(uiper Belt).

Shameless plug  
Ok so I don't normally do this sort of thing, but this is for a good cause because this little munchkin is my cousin. :) If you feel so inclined, can you please go to http://www.parents.com/app/sharemy/photoDetails.jsp?photoId=214701243 and rate the picture of the cute little baby there? That's my cousin John's son Mitchell, he'll be 2 in July. I happen to think he's pretty darn cute even without being biased. ;) They've entered him in the Parents Cover Model Search contest and the top 5 finishers get a free trip to NYC. No pressure but you know, if you feel like it, go check out his picture. :)

Jamie lost tooth number 4 today. He's been working on this one for a while and it's been *really* loose all week, so we were both very glad when it came out! :)

Writer's Block: Step into My Closet  

How many pair of shoes do you have? Out of those pairs, how many do you wear more than a few times a year?


View other answers



I own an embarrassing number of shoes, but as for what I actually *wear*, um. I can't recall the last time I stepped foot out of the house in anything but my Crocs. I have sneakers that I wear when it's really cold (although I'm thinking of getting some of those lined Crocs for next winter, heh) and I used to wear Birkenstocks all the time but not so much anymore--Crocs are cheaper and you don't have to freak out if you get them wet. I'm thinking I'll be wearing them all summer as well, I might spring for a pair of the Crocs sandals too.

friends cut  
I just did a very small friends cut. 99% of the people that were cut were people that did not have me friended anyway, so I doubt they will even notice. :) Best wishes to those who were cut, and if I did cut you in error, let me know and we can talk about it. :)

Oh, another thing!  
Watch this if you haven't seen it already. A public school choir covers "Flying Dutchman" by Tori Amos. One of my favorite songs anyway, and they do a really good job. If you like it, you can check out their blog at http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/ to see more. :)

Wow.  
This has to be one of the sweetest things I've seen. If you need to smile this morning, check out this video. :)

Background: a couple raises a lion from a cub until he becomes too big for them to care for. They then release him into the wild. This is what happened a year later.

Finally after 3 months we have missing tooth number 3! It's seriously been loose since before Christmas. :) I can already see the new tooth poking through in the hole so I can't imagine it'll be too long coming in.

You're not seeing things. I have bangs again. :)

There are a couple additional pics on Flickr showing the zigzag part and a frontal shot, but the frontal shot turned out pink for some reason so I didn't post it here.

Next up, new color. It needs to be darker.

I took this yesterday but forgot to post it. If you care enough, go to Flickr where there is a closeup of the new section as well. :) I've done more since this, just not enough to make it worth while posting. :)

Klein Sexual Orientation Grid


I scored an average of 3.43



01 2 3 4 5
6

HeterosexualBisexual Homosexual

Meaning

This result can also be related to the Kinsey Scale:


0 = exclusively heterosexual
1 = predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homosexual
2 = predominantly heterosexual, but more
than incidentally homosexual
3 = equally heterosexual and homosexual
4 = predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally
heterosexual
5 = predominantly homosexual, incidentally heterosexual
6 = exclusively homosexual

Summary


The idea of this excercise is to understand exactly how dynamic a person's sexual orientation can be, as well as how fluid it can be over a person's lifespan. While a person's number of actual homo/heterosexual encounters may be easy to categorize, their actual orientation may be completely different. Simple labels like "homosexual", "heterosexual", and "bisexual" need not be the only three options available to us.
