human nature & babies - 05:24 PM
(filed under 'linky lurrve')
i've been emailing the link to this article to a number of people & finally thought that maybe i should post it here for other people, too.
it's about human nature & the way we bring up babies compared to a so-called 'stone age' tribe in the jungles of south america. read it here & if & when you have time, go to the main articles page to read more aticles by the same person.
this sort of stuff is life changing.
[edited to add a direct link to the reading page since the link at the bottom of the particular article i linked to is broken.]
'out' instead of movies - 09:42 AM
(filed under 'general')
we didn't end up seeing our movie last night. the movie schedule (the recorded message by phone) was a bit confusing, so when we got there, there was a different movie on starting much later. we decided that since we'd arranged for our respective boys to look after the babies that we'd stay out & go for a couple of drinks instead. which we did.
there's a nice tavern just across the road from the movies, so we went there & sat in the public bar with a drink or two. turns out that karaoke was on that night & when i saw that, i jumped up to be the first to sing (i used to actually sing for a living a while back). i did dancing queen, since i know it back to front & i know i can do it well. the guy who was running the karaoke was quite impressed & told me about a talent quest thing on next wednesday in blackwater, a neighbouring town about forty-five or so minutes away. there's prize money for it & the other guy who was there with the man running the karaoke said, quote, "just do what you did tonight & you'll piss it in!" okay. lol!! 
i wasnt even in very good form last night since my voice was a bit rough from talking over the music.
i reckon i'll go & see if i can win some money. i'm pretty sure i'm remembering correctly that the man with the mic said the prizes were $200, $300 & $500. can't complain about that.
so even though we didn't get to see our movie, we had a really nice time & got to have conversations which we could actually finish! i think it had been a really long time for all of since we'd been out. it was good.
