Random Thoughts

Ick - London stage musical of Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Reviews aren't great. Hmmm. How do you condense three large books into three hours? With singing?

We are finally on the sleeping side of the growth spurt with Meimei. After about 5 nights of waking up at least once, and on one occasion, three times, I finally was able to sleep through last night. Of course, now the teething has started up...

Kitten handed me a magnetic refrigerator Y, upside down, two weeks ago and said, "triangle." Like, hey mom, just wanted to make sure you knew. Genius.

The missing pregnant woman was found dead Saturday. I took it quite hard actually, although you have to figure she was gone when the kid says, "Mommy's in the rug." That phrase, spoken by a 2-year-old, does not bode well for anyone. If it really is the boyfriend, not only did he kill his unborn child, he did that in front of his living kid, then left him there alone for nearly a day. I hope they fry your ass, dude, I really do. It makes me cry to think of my own 2-year-old watching me die and then sitting alone in the house, no one to comfort her or feed her or change her, until someone eventually comes, many hours later, only to be yanked from the whole world you know forever. If only the rack were still legal, and they forced your parents to watch, you might get an idea of what you did to your son, dickweed.

Let's talk seatbelts, folks. There was a road rage accident this weekend that killed one teenager and left another in a coma. They were ejected from the vehicle. And who gets ejected from vehicles? People who are not wearing seatbelts. By no means am I saying that these children deserved what they got, or that they would not have been hurt. I'm only saying that a very bad situation could have been mitigated a little bit if they had been wearing seatbelts.

In other dangerous traffic news, California is now crushing the cars of streetracers who are caught in accidents or for reckless driving or whathaveyou. They said the rate of accidents and deaths involving street racers is down 19% since they started crushing the cars in front of the offending drivers and other drivers. Take that, orange-Nissan-boy on my drive to work. No one is even racing with you.

Of all the stupid that my high school reunion was, about the biggest stupid was getting into a vehicle with a life-long friend and having to say, "Do you have some sort of pass that lets you drive without a seat belt?" and having her reply, "Oh, you don't really need it for _short_ trips."

Arg. Also, Grrr.
