Sing and Slideshow
I went to Killian's school for his 1st grade play. Well, it wasn't so much a play as a collection of skits. It was fun and cute for the parents as you might expect. I recorded the entirety of it and am posting it here. It's pretty long (22 minutes in total). Just fair warning. Killian's individual skit is the first thing in part 2 if you want to jump specifically to that. He has singing and dancing parts elsewhere so watch it in full if you are so inclined. It is broken into 2 parts due to YouTube time restrictions. I was sitting in the front row so it was pretty tough to capture more than 1 or 2 kids in any given shot.

The DQ rock and roll falcon is pretty funny.

Why, why, why is $x9.99 still an effective pricing technique? Who is this still influencing?

I remain fairly confident that Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Cera are the same person.
I am strongly considering utilizing some official training dollars or college credits to figure out how to fold a frickin' fitted sheet!

Killian has strep throat. Apparently he wanted me to remember how much that sucked for Memorial Day.

Pinkeye the clown. Rapey the clown. Stinkfist the clown. Upchuckles the clown. Shits and Giggles the clown. #badclownnames

Ok folks, let's hear 'em. Paulsey the clown #badclownnames
Mathematically speaking, The Hangover Part II = The Hangover - Vegas + Thighland + "Part II".
Killian just asked me "Is she still alive?" http://yfrog.com/h6bwfvwj
Swagger? I hardly even know 'er.

Pronouns are so much better than amateur nouns. The problem is that they know it. They have a swagger about them.
Ugh. Baseball practice + 90 degrees + 6:30pm = bleh.

Improper grammar just seems to amplify its stupidity on twitter and facebook, which is amazing without inflection to help it along.

Ok, gotta give credit where it's due. The Imagination Movers put on a GREAT show! It was a surprisingly good time.
22-May
At The Imagination Movers concert in Durham. Yeah, that right. There seems to be an overabundance of little people here.
Killian continues to crack me up by referring to things from the Star Wars universe as "a Star War". R2-D2 is a Star War to him.

Pediatrics = foot drama?

Killian just awoke from a nightmare about the tornado. Wish I could have kept it on the sly from him today. :(

Chilly night for the house heat to go out. Better than tomorrow night according to the forecast. HVAC guy scheduled for tomorrow.

It is entirely too cold for outdoor "Spring activities".

Things I learned in high school that my kid is learning in first grade: home row.
Just had a Concrete at Goodberry's (think DQ Blizzard) - raspberry with Reese's Cups mixed in. Not certain I made the best flavor selection.
19-Mar
As always, *so* glad I not to be necroleptic.
Just got back from Killian's 2nd soccer game. 2-1 victory for his team! He did well at midfield and goalie.
Just got back from Killian's first hockey game. An overtime win for the home team! Exciting and fun. We had a great time.

Is it just me or is that comically confusing wording?http://plixi.com/p/84257543

I need my house trim painted. Anybody "got a guy" or had a good experience with a co. in the Raleigh area?

Pharmaceutical Customer Service Fail
Does anything about this picture strike anyone else as frustrating?
The answer lies in the fact that this is a children's prescription liquid suspension medication to be administered with the pictured syringe. Notice that the size of the syringe in no way corresponds to the amount of medication remaining in the bottle (this picture was taken at day 3 of a 10 day dosage). There is clearly no way that the syringe can reach the medication when the bottle is upright nor can it be tilted in such a fashion that the liquid and syringe can meet due to the size of the syringe vs. the size of the mouth & neck of the bottle. Sure, it's simple enough to overcome by emptying a portion of the medication into a second container before introducing the syringe but that shouldn't be necessary with a dosage bottle that would accommodate the syringe.
Just a parental frustration I wanted to air.
