Just something for 7am on a Monday morning:

"I love you, Mommy."

    "I love you too, sweetheart."

"I can't dance."

She's not quite 3 yet. How old are they before they learn what "non sequitur" means?

This Song Is Amazing =]

His Voice Is Amazing..

Every day I get a couple of stragglers in my referrer logs where the URL is somebody's resume. I'm not quite sure what sort of moron you have to be to think that spamming your resume is going to get you jobs, but it's never really bothered me, I just blacklist them all. Today, all of a sudden, there are dozens of them. Not dozens of different ones, but dozens of hits from the same URLs over and over again. Not really sure what's up with that. All the same, they're all going in the blacklist. What I should really do is follow the link, get the email address and then put them personally in my blacklist just so that I'm sure never to hire them.

Elizabeth gets up with the sunrise. Katherine needs a small explosive set off in her room. We try to let her wake up on her own, but on a school day there comes a point of no return where I have to go wake her up if she's going to make it out the door. So this morning I come in to her room, turn the lights on, open the shades and say, "Wake up, sweetie. School today."

Zombie-like, she sits up and begins rubbing her eyes. "Daddy?" she says in a very quiet, sleepy voice. "Do you think maybe when you come in to wake me up you could just turn on the light a little bit, at first?"

That's one of those moments where you future flashes before your eyes, and I can picture her at about 13 pulling the pillow over her head and mumbling "5 more minutes!!"

Im a fan of Scrubs, musicals and Avenue Q. So this was like sex to me.

I lub dis song its'da bomb!! =]

Ok, well, there's certainly room to be a little conflicted on this story about a deathrow inmate's desire that his last meal be given to the homeless. He wanted a vegetarian pizza delivered to "any homeless person nearby." The problem is that the prison said they wouldn't honor the request because they "don't donate to charity."

Well that apparently pissed off more people than just me, because $1200 worth of pizza was delivered to local homeless shelters by members of the community. Good for them. I particularly like the quote from one of the workers at the shelter who said that his reaction was, quote, "Wow, Jesus!"

At the top I said "much to be conflicted about" because let's face it, the guy (who has now been executed) did kill a cop. So it's not like he's a nice, upstanding member of society. And if, for his last meal, he'd said "Screw you, go give it to the homeless for all I care" then I would see the prison's position. But that's apparently not how it happened. So just because this guy is a bad guy, why punish him by depriving the homeless of food?

This news story actually worked out for the best, since the prison's rules require that a last meal be worth at most $20. Thus far it looks like close to 100x that much has been donated.

Good lyrics. Good song.

Perhaps Chris wrote this song way too early in his career… or did he think this is the end of his career?

I think I may have disliked BeeGees week more than I hated country week. The songs really just do nothing for me, and it didn't help that everybody butchered them. The most interesting scene of the night was trying to figure out what sort of work Barry Gibb had had done to make him sound like Sean Connery.

Anyway, it's down to 3 as Lakisha is sent home. She doesn't seem too upset about it. As Simon says, somebody has to go. At this point they're all very good singers.

As always, if you're looking for the lyrics to the song they play at the end, it's "Home" by Chris Daughtry and the lyrics are available right here. Enjoy.
