psychokinesis

is that so much to ask for? if i only had it.

so yep - more messiah points. obama has put the freedom back in the foia (freedom of information act). bush had changed the language of it so that you had to prove that you really needed / were worthy of a piece of information before you would be given that information. now the government has to prove that giving the information out provides a definable and imminent threat. it's like what's that thing a democratic government is supposed to have . . . oh, right transparency and full disclosure. and with those words cheney is having his 150th heartache.

so we just found out today that my son's aformentioned best friend will be going to a new center. poor little dude. malachai not the other kid. oh, and praise, well, obama, i guess - this morning i went in to get the nipper and he had his diaper off and said i want to go poopie and we went and did that. hoooray. course he would have nothing to do with the potty for the remainder of the day but hell, we are the penultimate beggars in this scenario. i'm almost certain the child will be off to college in a giant diaper. i've thought about pointing out to him that if he wore underwear instead of a diaper he would have much better / more consistent access to his penis. as it is bathes are beginning to take longer and longer.

oh and now, thanks to his father, he laughs maniacally and says "is that a willy". fantab. OH, and apparently he learned something new at school today. he sticks his finger up his nose - says tasty and puts it in his mouth. how exciting our days are becoming. my parents used to threaten to sell me to the gypsies . . . do they still have gypsies? i could threaten to sell him to brad and angelina.

we are going on a double date tomorrow. by double date i mean, i'm going out with my friend and carl is going to hang with her husband but we'll probably all be sitting at the same table. they recently got a live in nanny and found out that they get one night a month to go out as part of the financial deal. and as she put it - they don't want to go out together to which i chimed in "that's a waste of a perfectly good babysitter". seems to be a lot of that sentiment going around lately.

very exciting news - i think i will be seeing the pogues TWICE this year!!! once in boston and once in atlanta. we are going to south carolina to see my uncle and i am going to north carolina to visit and old college friend - very exciting. and hopefully squeeze ina little trip to richmond to see another college friend.

alrighty, i must go write a few emails. i am so behind in my communiques it's a wonder i still have any friends. must be my devilish grin. that and

Also . . . I can kill you with my brain.
