* Update on the biting: Alex's side of the story is they were playing a sea horse game and he play-bit another kid. I confirmed with the teacher it was definitely a playing game and not an aggressive attack. Still, he now knows biting is never acceptable, which is better to learn at a place where they've known my kids for four years (and know Alex is a sweetheart) instead of when he starts kindergarten in a new school next fall.
* I'm taking a photography composition class this month and for the first time since high school calculus and physics, I am excited about homework. My mind is reeling with ideas.
* Either this weekend or early next week, I will hit 500 miles run in 2010. I'm going bigger in 2011.
* My tivo didn't record SYTYCD this week. I watched some of the dances on YouTube and last night I almost drove Jon crazy yelling at the tv during the results show, "I can't believe I missed that! Kent DISCO! Kent AND NEIL! NappyTabs!!! KENT... and NEIL!"
* I finished reading One Second After and loved it. It is about what would happen if the US were hit by an EMP attack. It is this generation's Alas Babylon, and I do not say that lightly. It is set in NC, which made it even scarier to me. I then started Eat the Dark and while I LOVE IT, it is so freaking scary. I have to finish it before Jon goes on his next trip because that is not a book to read alone.
* So that's my life right there. Crazy kids. Photography. Running. Fave shows. Driving Jon crazy. Books.

OMG--I LOVED Alas Babylon! I've never found anyone else who even heard of it. I'm adding One Second After to my queue at the library!
Poor Alex. How could playing sea horse go so wrong?
I've picked up Alas Babylon 3 separate times over the years and I have never gotten more than 10 pages in. I have no idea why.
An EMP attack would really suck. I can't even think of anything that would work. I mean, some stuff would work, but everything else would be so hosed it wouldn't matter. I shudder to think.
Glad you have some control over the biting.
I had a week that SYTYCD didn't tape, and ended up finding full episodes on facebook because the fox website didn't have them. But when I tried to find the fb page, I found this:
http://www.fox.com/watch/dance/325941813001
Can you watch the full episode there? I haven't watched yet so had to actually skip over where you talked about the dancing!
OMG Kent and Neil were awesome! It was powerful and also pretty hot. Yummy!
Ooooooh, do you recommend Eat the Dark? How violent is it? I'm intrigued. I just read about it after I read this post.
Who is facilitating the photo class you are taking? I love that calc and physics got you excited about homework.
I forgot to watch the results show last week so HELLO... Billy was out?
Team Kent since Team Alex fizzled at week 9. Can you believe I have that awesome duo with Twitch STILL on the Tivo. I can't bring myself to delete it.
Picking up Rant : An oral biography of Buster Casey tomorrow at the library. Symmetry is going back, it put it down last night.
Can't believe you didn't anticipate this new photography class with the gusto of linear algebra :-)
Oh my daughter went through a stage with biting. Don't worry, it will also pass. It can really happen to kids, right? I haven't had the time to read lately. But I truly miss it. I need to try and read something very soon because it's truly my form of relaxation.
Kent and Neil were fanFREAKINGtastic. It certainly didn't hurt that Travis was the choreographer. LOVE him! YUM all around!
