you're what happens when two substances collide

Yay quiet. The child was not too happy to get up so early (he's in morning preschool this go-around and his bus leaves at 7:50) but he seemed to adjust ... mostly fine. I haven't gotten any panicked phone calls or emails yet, which is definitely shiny.

The market is much nicer if you get there ahead of the tourists. I found my beloved Birds' Custard powder (I can't make my own custard, I cheat. That will be dessert tonight or tomorrow, unless I decide to do this recipe first. I do not believe this recipe is anything more than slightly insane: my father used to eat strawberries with sour cream.)

I want to do a mix-CD-swap kind of similar to the ones that geekchick sometimes does. I suck at other CD swaps because they often involve some kind of theme that will miraculously make my brain lock up, no matter what the theme is. I'm very bad at themes. Anyway. Anyone want in? I'm trying to keep this small (no more than seven or eight people maximum because I'm going to have to send them all out ... although if you're local, you can pick them up.) If you want to play, let me know in the comments.

Okay, maybe I'm turning into one of THOSE parents ... (although I doubt it) but I'm seriously pondering signing Seaners up for this Tiny Tots concert series this fall. They even have them on Friday mornings ... which is the only day he doesn't have school ... hmmmmmmm.

(If we can find a sitter, tallin and I want to go to their Hitchcock! show, which is much sooner.)

whee!

Spent a happy hour on the phone (*shock* *die*) with raventyde, catching up. Sean had a wonderful day at school and apparently only fussed for about thirty seconds. Picked up my replacement power adapter from the apartment office, shipped the old one back. Napped. It's been a good afternoon. May have potentially found someone to watch Seaners for two days a week over the summer (when school is out) in our building complex, which would be totally the height of awesome.

I wish they had this dog bowl in a cat version. One of our cats eats too fast and then horks up furballs. :P I expect the spaces between the little nubbly things are way too big for a cat to use it effectively though.

Speaking of: I found a bus schedule in the litterbox. Either the cats have secret lives or the boy is somehow to blame.
