Regina Spektor - Us
I am mentally unstable. My two current crushes are on a cartoon character and Regina Spektor. I randomly found her while listening to Ben Folds. Love her voice. The video is fun too. I think my wife is going to leave me if I keep this up.
Ten Interesting Cell Phone Facts You Probably Didn't Know
1. The most common texted word is not a word, but rather the letter “r”.
2. Most cell phones contain about $9 of gold in the circuitry. $ .02 if you go through Cash4Gold.
3. The scientific name for phantom cell phone ring vibration is “lexdosia.”
4. 2 is the most used cell phone number for texting. 0 is the least.
5. If you think your cell phone volume is lowering over time, check the holes that cover the speaker. Most phones have almost a full ounce of ear wax and dirt build up. Soak phone overnight in warm water to ensure that the wax buildup isn’t your biggest problem anymore.
6. Cell phone antennas went obsolete when the cell providers switched from an AM frequency to an FM frequency.
7. Cell phone companies spent about 4 million dollars in the 1980s to develop three additional musical notes so that each number would have its own unique sound.
8. 37% of all photos that men send via cell phone are of poop that they send to their buddies.
9. 85% of cell phone users liked their previous cell phone better.
10. Whatever you do, do not call this number: 614-429-4365.

Greg and Dad sans Dad: Jesus Floats above Hell
Greg is in Kindergarten. Watching that kid learn how to read is one of the most exhilarating experience of my life. Being there as he starts to "get it" and realizing that he'll be smarter than me in less than three years is wild.
Then he brings this home (a few months ago) and completely freaks me out:
Upon looking at the drawing, you can see Jesus prostrate, floating above the fires of Hell. And he's got a smile on his face. Underneath all that is some text in Greg's handwriting. At first glance the words seem to sound out, "Pay By the Fire." This is a technique in Kindergarten they call "inventive spelling." They let the students write sentences, sounding out the words and writing how they think they should be spelled. As backwards as that sounds, it seems like it has been working.
As for Greg and this drawing, we spent $12,000 on therapy and $25,000 on an exorcist. Finally we asked Greg what the drawing was about and he said that he liked playing soccer by the fire. "Play by the fire?" Yes, play by the fire. Now we are spending $300 at the local OU branch campus to teach the boy perspective drawing.

Other Mother Crush Continues
I went and saw Coraline for the 27th time tonight. The theater had me escorted out between my 3rd and 4th viewing when I bought a large tub of popcorn, dumped it out and filled it with butter flavored oil. I guess it wasn't the oil that bothered them, but when I requested a hole saw and a rubbermaid glove, they freaked out.
Here is an obviously stolen photo of other mother.
I'm gonna buy Miss Sally the chicken oven mitt for her birthday, but it will really be a gift for me.

I am my Uncle
My father's side of the family is a bit of a mystery. I wish I knew more about them.
I do remember my father speaking of his brother and that he was an author. To use my father's words, my uncle wrote smut. I was always curious what that meant. Was it that he wrote with foul language or that the subject material was dirty or immoral?
Either way, I think I have become my uncle.
