Ack. We watched Peter Pan this morning, a movie I haven’t seen in years. I have no real need to see it again anytime soon. I said as much, and mentioned (offhand, to my parents) that in many ways, society is much better than it is now.

Ah, but you see, people might curse now, and THAT means that things are worse. Frankly, I see cursing as a minor issue where parenting is concerned. Dehumanizing other races? Minimizing the roles of girls and women? Treating people with no respect? To me, THOSE are moral issues. I couldn’t *fucking* care less about cursing.

I’ll update on the Japan trip in a bit, after I finally upload my pictures. I flew in Thursday night, and I’m finally only today starting to feel human again.

It’s kind of cool to sit here with the windows open, and occasionally hear cheers from a baseball field about 1/2 mile away. If Maya weren’t sleeping, I think I’d go watch, just for fun.

I’ll take the Bass & Beyond. You can keep the Bud, thanks.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of Parenting Beyond Belief, and it’s been available for a bit, but Hemant Mehta’s I Sold My Soul on eBay only released today, so today I ordered both, plus a bit of fluff. What can I say? I (heart) Clinton & Stacy.

Hooray for my accidental purchase of Amazon Prime — these will arrive Thursday!

Grrrrrr.

I just came home from renting An Inconvenient Truth, so I could FINALLY watch it. I know, it’s sad to be so late to the game, but hey, I have a 2-year-old.

I opened the box, thinking that I’m cool with watching a documentary with Maya over dinner. They. Didn’t. Remove. The. Security. Device.

Grumble. I have a pizza arriving in minutes, so I guess we’ll see this one another time. Instead, I may still watch Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (or whatever it’s called)…but that likely will need to wait until after Maya’s bedtime.

I’ve imported posts from Oh, for the love of God… to here — so there’s a little disarray that I expect to continue for a time as I remove/rename categories and whatnot.

Thanks to Fred for the link to the Wordpress-to-Wordpress import/export plugin. Once I deleted the *thousands* of akismet comment spam, my file size was small enough to import old posts, categories, and comments quickly! Woo-hoo!

In case you hadn’t noticed…there’s a new page up above. From time to time, as I continue to settle into the new digs, I’ll be adding pages, so keep your eyes open.

sub-con-scious-ly

Uh, yes.

I’ve been seriously delinquent with posting a follow-up on last week’s thoughts about prayer. I had a long IM conversation with one friend (she’s given permission to post it), then Kate had some great thoughts in the comments.

The follow-up is coming soon. Promise.
