Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. On the way home from the East Bay Emmett randomly announced, "Matilda doesn't have a super-ego. But she'll get one next year when she's five."

I inquired further and found out he's reading ahead on his Health and Identity curriculum and has discovered his first dose of Freud.

So tonight as we're putting Matilda to bed, Emmett announced...

Emmett: Matilda, do you know what you get when you turn five? A super-ego.
Matilda: What's...what's a Super Go?
Emmett: No, a super-ego. When you're born you have an Id. When you're two you get an ego. And when you're five you get a Super-ego.
Matilda: [shaking her head vehemently] No! That's not right. I don't want a Super Go!

Then there were some tears shed in refuting Freud.

Our wings are not tired.

As is right and proper.

I don't want a Super Go!

Smart girl. It's all guilt and shame and neurosis.

Sure, without it you're a sociopath, but you're happier!

I really wanted a Wonder Woman DC poster. Or even Paradise Island.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Grrr. I'm starting to get tired of the liquids/pudding only stage of this post-surgery diet. I want something to crunch, damnit!

Maybe you could have these? [link] They dissolve! My 9 mo. old niece adores them.

I should have been in bed an hour ago, just made an impulse purchase, but I guess it's okay because it's the goddamn Batman, and then I found this: [link]

The power of the Bowie compels me! But one impulse purchase is enough for the night.

I suspect I'll probably end up buying this one, though: [link]
