A show in three short bits. Yes, I know, this show is shorter (36 min.) than the usual premium show (usually around an hour). Frankly, I fought it, but this show just wanted to be this length. If you feel short changed, let me know, but this show is this show and apparently it’s out of my hands.

Okay, back to the three parts: 1) We bought new, cheap shelves and a new cheap desk for the kids at IKEA. Well, before you move all that stuff in, just make sure you realize: not only do you have to assemble it, stain it and varnish it, you also have to reengineer it so that it doesn’t fall and crush your children. 2) I had a excellent call back for a commercial the other day. Just excellent. They loved me. LOVED. Did I get the commercial? What do you think? 3) I went to my first martial arts class in two or three years. My biggest fear was not being punched in the face or kicked in the jewels, it was that I would throw up on someone’s uniform. I am studying karate, and white shows everything…

And, yes, I know that Jonathan Coulton did a song called/about IKEA. It plays in an endless loop in my head as I wait in line there for a $2.50 jumbo dog. The meatballs look…lethal.

I flew to Portland and back. Casually. To talk about blogging and podcasting to the “water people” of the northern/western area. Well, what I feared would be a serious and rather boring trip was a lot of fun (and I now want to live in Portland, OR). Well, there were three things standing in the way of me getting a good nights’ sleep, so I got about 20 minutes of sleep the night before. Still, the “session” was fun, I had lunch at a super cool old school-house-turned-hotel/restaurant/theater/club.

Be very careful when you’re about to look out the window of the plane, depending on who you’re sitting near.

Klein’s Deli, Potrero Hill, I’ll miss you.

I think I made a realization while being grilled by my daughter about what beings are make believe and which beings are “real.” I just can’t help wondering if the fact that princesses are real is messing up our female kids, big time.
