Girls Rock!

Last year I went to Rock and Roll Camp and learned to play the drums. Well, not really; but the wonderful, talented, supportive staff tried their best. It was F-ing amazing--one of the best things I've ever done. The ladies' rock camp helps fund the Rock and Roll Camp for Girls, a program that provides girls of all income levels a chance to rock out and be their awesome selves. Last night, we watched the documentary about R&RC4G called Girls Rock! The movie is so great--I can't recommend it enough. Check out this trailer featuring Palace, one of the most adorable rock and roll pixies you'll ever meet.

Babies! Congratulations, Jane and Todd!

Tooth!

When's my kid gonna get some teeth? The poor thing's been in pain and has been biting everything from the cat to the coasters for weeks.
In marginally related news, THIS MOVIE LOOKS CRAZY!

Lost in Emotion

As Lisa Lisa said, "Kaysara, Kaysara" (which Tripp recently informed me translates to "Que sera, Que sera"). Whatever it means, Lisa Lisa, I FEEL lost in emotion. Having a kid has made me VERY sensitive to media that involves anything remotely bad happening to a kid. Just got "Doubt" in from Netflix, totally wanted to see it when it came to theaters. . .now absolutely cannot, WILL NOT watch it because of the subject matter. We started watching "Rachel Getting Married" (don't miss my upcoming review, tentatively titled "Tripp, Why Didn't We Force Our Loved Ones to Have a Talent Show in Our Honor Before Our Wedding?") last night. Freaking heck, people! Did anyone know Anne Hathaway's character accidentally killed her brother when he was a kid?! Where was THAT in the preview? Threw me into a quiet crying jag, and then I couldn't watch "Family Guy" because they did a play on "Stand By Me," and THAT reminded me of the real "Stand By Me" and how the main character's brother had died and how sad the family felt. WHAT THE HELL?
I get it. I have a kid, I'm in love with my kid and anything that starts to touch the part of my brain in which I even consider my kid feeling pain or my life without my kid is just too much for me to handle right now. Has anyone else felt this way about anyone? Or anything? (I'm sure Tripp has nightmares about his PlayStation being console-napped.)

Throwing Up Sucks!

That's all.

Brandon, You So Crazy

Brandon, from "True Life: I'm Addicted to Porn". Jezebel.com summarizes his life as follows: "He's 26, unemployed, and lives with his grandma. He watches porn 5 - 10 hours a day, visits an adult video shop called Spanky's on a "daily basis," and admits that porn keeps him detached from women, because it allows him to enjoy women without having to deal with their real-life drama." Amen, brother.

Don't worry. He turns it around by the end of the episode. If you come across this, give it a look. If only for one of Brandon's opening lines: "I love watching porn while smoking cigars. It's so luxurious."

Yuck

Despite his seemingly normal taste buds, Henry can't get enough of Beech Nut's Apples 'N Chicken. The ingredient list: Apples, ground chicken, water. Ugh.
Trying to imagine his reaction when he tries some of the world's best foods. The first thing that comes to mind is Cinnamon Toast Crunch. How classy.
