Five things
NS January 29th, 2009
1. I don’t find LOLCats that amusing. I may be the only person in the world, I know, but it just doesn’t do it for me.
2. It is really difficult to get poo out of a baby’s ears. Don’t ask how I know this.
3. Apparently, “being a star” for a female contestant on American Idol means putting on a shorter skirt, higher heels, messing up your hair and putting on a pound of makeup. This cute-as-a-button, fresh-faced, naturally beautiful woman auditioned and even though she had an amazing voice the judges weren’t sold because they couldn’t picture her in the role. They told her to go away and “become a superstar.” When she came back in her mini-skirt, sparkly shoes and with black eyeliner caked on they were very pleased. NOW they could picture her as a pop star. How depressing is that?
4. This BBC website, Britain From Above, is really funkin’ cool. It’s full of aerial photographs of various cities, towns, open spaces, festivals, transport systems, traffic patterns and a whole lot more. I’ve spent hours watching video clips and looking at photos. I love looking at things and places from completely different, large-scale perspective.
5. My children have e-mail addresses now, so their father and I can send them messages that they can read when they’re older. I’m also keeping journals for them so they have hand-written accounts of their childhood. It gives me an excuse to practice my handwriting too!

Love your idea about e-mail addresses for your kids!!
#1 – You’re definitely not the only one. I can’t stand the things.
I’m not sure I can hand write anymore. It’s scary.
I’ve forgotten how to do handwriting, too. Awfully scary!
#1 – I grew up with 11 cats so I’m unashamedly biased, though to be fair most lolcats aren’t THAT funny but for me it’s worth it for the few gems. Did you like Far Side cartoons?? That seems to be a dividing line in most people I’ve talked to.
My hand writing has gotten to be just awful, worse than ever, because of the new drugs I’m taking. My typing is suffering from the tremours too. Let’s not even get into my phonetic, made up spelling! But Jen, you give me hope. I haven’t written on my blog since November. It had developed into a bitch session and I was tired of that. Maybe, just maybe, hearing of baby poo ears and someone else who doesn’t like LOLCats (and I’m a real cat person) just may give me a reason to renew my interest in writing. Thanks Doll.
I love the email idea. And I love the Britain photo site also. Glad you are enjoying it.
For many reason I agree about the cat website and I wonder how people can find it funny and not be annoyed at the wrong spelling of so many words
I agree about the Lolcats thing…really irritating!
Baby poo in ears..umm aren’t they just wonderous creatures ;o)
Like the idea of sending emails & writing the journal, only my hand writing is so atrocious they wouldn’t be able to decipher it! Besides I’m not that dedicated a mother…
