faulty vision
From the monthly archives: September 2010
We spent a lot of money at Sears the other day, getting Hobbes’s 2 year old photos. The photographer was a darn sight better than the one we had in Seattle; he’s the same one who’s taken all of Hobbes’s photos until now (except for that one, unfortunate incident in Seattle) and he has a [...]
“So do you mind if I just put everything in your house?” asked Sako.
“Sure.”
“Because one of my windows in the car is broken.”
“That sucks. What happened? Was this when your tire blew out?”
“No, a bear broke it, so that’s why I took John’s car, and that’s the one that blew the [...]
It’s a shame that after doing so well for so long, I should suddenly suffer a lapse of discipline and stop updating. I know it, and I’m embarrassed. There are two reasons for this. One is that I’ve finally managed to go to Aikido at 6 bloody AM in the morning, which means that at [...]
In case you’re wondering, Hobbes and I both survived to see his birthday come and go. It was a close thing, though. There was a few hours between 2 AM and 4:30 AM where the outcome was up in the air, but we made it through. It doesn’t hurt that even at 4:30 AM, he’s [...]
Hobbes’s birthday is tomorrow — he will be turning 2 — which, I have to be frank here, is a milestone that I never thought we’d reach back in the beginning when he was keeping us up all night and demanding face time with my boobs every two hours, not to mention the poop and [...]
Hobbes and I were busy decorating a birthday card for his grandmother when the Guy came by to see what we were doing. We were having a conversation — an adult conversation, thank you very much, between adults, and none of your dirty minds: I simply mean we were conversing on non-toddler subjects — when [...]
That whole Aikido thing? Yeah, not so much. Engaged in battle with the French as I was (I know, I said I wouldn’t take another shot at them but I lied) I lost track of time and didn’t get to bed until 11. After which I woke up at 12 because of the heat, woke [...]
So, yes. We went to the zoo. It was fun. There were animals. There was walking. There was a little rain, but it was San Francisco so we came in prepared.
Not sure what else there is to say about it than that. Hobbes had a blast, at least until the goat, and then the [...]
Today’s plan: San Francisco Zoo. We are on our way back home. Pictures to follow.
Hobbes saw giraffes, got stabbed in the eye by a goat, and whacked his head on a tractor.
No worries. The tractor is just fine.
So I didn’t actually post anything yesterday beyond that one disclaimer. It was intense, I tell you. A full day of work, and then Kale Puttanesca for dinner (which was awesome, by the way. Delicious) and then a busy evening … playing Age of Empires III.
Look. Sometimes a girl’s just got to unwind.

I’ve been thinking of getting back to Aikido lately, not least because my doctor made tsking sounds over my recent lab results. (More on that at some later date.) In a nutshell: I am fat, I am out of shape, and I need to get off my ass before it starts generating its own gravitational [...]
So, we have a new deck.
Finally.
Let me show you a picture.
It’s a stupid story. The townhouse has a deck on the 3rd floor, just outside the master bedroom. When we bought it, summer was just starting, so we had no idea that it was actually a water trap for any and every [...]
Comments are broken, I know. I realized it yesterday when I was testing something, and I don’t know exactly what I did, but I am positive — positive — that it wasn’t my fault.
So I’ll be troubleshooting that in the next few days. It works out perfectly since I was going to be revisiting [...]
