random thoughts and happenings

(list form, time is short)

the good:

1. charlie called me today. he seems fine.
2. my hair is less orange after a little fix session and cut at juut.
3. the neighborhood seems to be filling up with kids and babies.
4. I only have to work for an hour and half meeting tonight.
5. books. I got a huge load at b&n clearance the other night, many more on deck.
6. a good idea for a book/film website someday.
7. beebins is upstairs gurgling, screeching, and laughing to herself.
8. she said MAMA (to me) yesterday.
9. I haven't charged anything on a credit card in 3 weeks.
10. bubby loves reading about insects.

the bad:

1. the haircut is a bit. . . mom-ish, as in too.
2. people's serious self absorption and materialism is annoying.
3. people are starving.
4. people are dying.
5. people are not nice to each other.
6. there are more important things in life than orange hair (straight teeth, fendi bags, perfectly round breasts, etc.)


in closing: the story of poop-man.

poop man eats dirt and worms. he lives in our toliet sometimes where many other smaller poop kids are put. poop man is the dad of all these poop kids, everywhere. everyone's poop in the whole world is poop man's kids. sometimes poop man goes out on his own and gets lost, like in the oven. then when he wants to see his kids he just goes into the oven pipes to the fridge pipes and finds the toilet pipes. then we say, "BYE POOP MAN! SEE YOU NEXT TIME!"
the end.

how did poopman start, I'm still having trouble getting Gianna to poop in the toilet half of the time. The poop in the underwear kinda sucks.

poop man started while we were at the hotel last summer. we didn't have a whole lot in terms of fun activities inside that dumb room so there was a period of time where matt would ask quentin what he wanted to draw and he would tell him and they'd draw it. quentin made it up i think and just said one day, HEY DRAW POOP MAN. so of course matt drew a man made of poop and neither kid EVER forgot it. now poop man has become like one of the family or if there needs to be a scapegoat it is poopman. like if bub gets all crabby or talks back we'll say, WHAT DID YOU SAY? and he'll quickly try to cover it and say, I WAS TALKING TO POOP MAN OVER THERE.

right.

or if someone is misbehaving or something goes missing, poop man gets blamed. or if some kids are being bratty at starbucks and i tell the kids about it when i get home, bubby says PROBABLY POOP MAN HAS DONE THAT BEFORE, or THOSE KIDS PROBABLY LEARNED THAT FROM POOP MAN.

or

changing the words to songs to include random mentionings of poop man. as in, twinkle twinkle little poop man, or just poop, or some yo gabba gabba song about "it's fun to play with poop man, it's fun to play with poop man!" (or poop your pants). etc., etc.

the influence of matt. . . he should be very proud.
