A few random, non-connected thoughts...

1. This rocks.
2. I want to see Serenity again. I keep thinking of my favorite parts from the movie, and quotes... I wanna see it again. "Remember, it's okay to run away and leave them to die"
3. One of the yogurt companies is busily advertising the fact that they'll stop putting plastic lids on over the foil ones. In order to do this, before they take away the plastic lids, they're printing the fact that they'll do this on top of the foil lids, with the phrase 'what can you do with" (I don't remember exactly the rest). Now, this is irritating on two counts. Firstly, I can think of a perfectly good use for a plastic lid on a yogurt container - if I don't finish my yogurt, I can put the lid on and then eat it later. It makes the yogurt container portable. Secondly, and more importantly, if they *really* cared about the environment as they claim, they'd print the message on their foil lids - and have already removed the plastic lids. But they're currently just printing "no more plastic lids as of this future date!", which seems a bit wrong mihi.
4. Ana's definitely coming down with something, sleeping a lot and coughing and sneezing. Perhaps it's some sort of psychic skill. Today, she kept playing with her umbrella, and insisted we take her raincoat with us as we went outside, even though it was so sunny and warm that I whined about it. And she wanted to play wth her mom's umbrella as well, as we left the house. But by the time we're in Manhattan, it's rainy. And I go "screw this, this is why we have a raincoat, we did NOT come all this way just to not play in the playground", so we stayed there until the rain turned from periodic drizzle into actual windy squally weather, then we went home. She had fun having the playground by herself, even when she (for the first time) fell off the ladder. She cried, but then went back on. We played that game where I pretend I'm scared to do anything on the playground and require her help to do such simple things as going across a bridge or walking on one of the hammocky thingies or going down a slide. She thought that was really funny - and, more importantly, it helped her be braver about those things as well. Honestly, though, that kid's barely scared of anything. She's *cautious* about things like going across the hammocks or on the swinging bridge, but she's not actually *scared*. I admire that trait of hers, though it scares *me*!

They still have the lids in stock, and it takes some work to switch over the packaging machinery.
Plus, they don't want to startle the
herdcustomers. They might switch brands.no subject
