The future would appreciate it if I didn't take up quilting: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 5:23AM 
It's that day, y'know, the one with 'Tue' in it.
On a totally unrelated note, did you know tue means 'kill' in french?
Anyway.
I've been somewhat in absentia this past week in the blogosphere, because I've been sewing a dress for FoN's eldest. She needs it for her choir performances. I honestly don't mind, even though I know a bunch of you are now snickering because I don't seem like I should be able to sew, but it's really making me dread having a teenager. If this is the level of participation required to parent a child in high school, I'd like to just stunt mine at the age of 2, if you don't mind.
YES, I really can sew. Honest. Occasionally I cook, too. Let's not spread that around, ok?
I've also been busy being a human comforter for my son, who's been feeling under the weather. There's been no vomit this time, thank dawg, but he's been running a fever off and on and generally being listless. I'm convinced it's the swine flu, not because I'm a paranoid person, but because I publicly announced my intention to NOT vaccinate him against it, and that would just be the way my life works.
Okay, that makes me sound a little paranoid.
I maybe won't mention how I think the the H1N1 vaccination is just an evil plot to spread a zombie virus.
These are awesome: Old war photographs, with superheros in them. THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.
Remember that Large Hadron Collider that was supposed to be creating a mini Event Horizon? I never understood why you'd do that, because the first movie was bad enough. But anyway, lots of things have been going wrong with it, thwarting scientists' attempts to suck us all into a black hole. Now there's a theory being floated that the Higgs boson, the theoretical particle that they're trying to prove actually exists, is creating the problems from the future to ensure it isn't discovered.
Maybe I watched too much Star Trek, but I'm totally buying that.
So, you can't use "but the black hole ate my homework!" as an excuse this week. Random up, you guys!

Very, very random today. I like that. And I like superheros in old World War II photos. But with Superman, Batman and Spiderman on our side, how come it took so long to kick Hitler's ass?
I hope your son feels better and that you do not catch whatever he has. Whenever I am used as a human comforter, I get sick too.
I am impressed that you can sew. I cook really well, but am challenged by anything craft related.
Learn something new about you every day - you can sew! Now we need some pictures... ;)
Hope your little one feels better soon!
Happy RTT!
I'm totally with you on the paranoia and the zombie virus thing.
The black hole ate the homework....
Have a great RT!

I agree with you on H1N1 being an evil zombie virus. Did you see the chick that is mentally handicapped after taking a flu vaccine? She can only function normally if she is running or walking backwards, otherwise her arms and legs don't work properly.
I am officially terrified to leave my house. One of the neighbor kids has swine flu. *eek*
Did I piss you off? My button's gone *sniff*
Our family Dr. refuses the even have the H1N1 vaccine shipped to her office. Maybe she's afraid just having it there will cause zombie side effects. I'm impressed that you can sew.
Wow, a cooking, sewing human comforter...you're right, I would have never guessed!
Hope everyone is feeling better soon!
I hope X is feeling better. It is a little hard to sew with a toddler hanging onto you.
My sister wasn't fond of the the nickname she had when my daughter was too young to pronounce her name. If we were in France, she would have been calling my sister Aunt Shit.
Ah the swine flu (Sorry H1N1 like we all are ever going to call it anything BUT the swine flu) It's making an appearance around here possibly. We are on day three of fever alert though I just took Thor's temp and I'll be danged if its not normal now that I already called him out of school. Damn it.
Sick kids are no fun. When my kids are sick they always seem to cough right in my face as if to show me how sick they are. We like to spread the love.
Hope your little one is on the mend soon!
I hope your little one feels better soon! I thought my son had Swine Flu a couple weeks go. I was definitely being paranoid. It was just a bad cold or something. The boys are on the "waiting list" for the vaccine.
Bawhahah @ Event Horizon! It was awful, wasn't it? I'm getting pissed off that I wasted two hours of my life on it, and it's been at least ten years. Fucking Sam Neil.
I too thought the Swine Flu was the gateway flu for the Zombie Flu! Maybe we're on the same meds? :-)
I'm not vaccinating against swine flu either. That way, if it is indeed a government plot to turn us into the undead or brainwash us into compliance in some way, I can say I told you so before the zombie army finds me and kills me. I can't wait! I love saying I told you so.
I hope your son gets well soon. I liked the superhero pics. The Hadron Collider is too werid for me.
I'm totally using the zombie excuse as my answer when people ask me why I'm not getting the swine flu vaccine. Because, that's a crazy/polite way to say, "Not really any of your concern there."
Hope your little one feels better soon and it is not the zombie, I mean swine flu. Great super hero pics!!!
You can sew AND cook?
Don't tell my husband...I have him convinced wives don't do those things anymore!
Impressive! You can cook and sew and be a nursemaid! You are amazing! I love RTT. It's my favorite day of the week!
I want a human comforter!
