On a related note, it's weird how in the space of an hour, what you want the kid to do will change from “Please stop squirming, be quiet, and go to sleep!” to “Please twitch, or snore, or something!”

J has been asleep for almost 2 hours now…in a baby chair designed for *supervised* napping. I'm tempted to try to move him to the crib, but I'm certain that would just wake him up. At least this way, he and Katie can get some sleep.
Entitlement
While I don't like giant cars taking up two spaces when they could squeeze into one, at least I understand it. But a tiny Lexus sportscar, straight down the middle? That's the definition of entitlement right there.

Dear insurance company phone system: It might be a good idea to put the requisite “If this is an emergency, please hang up and dial 911” message *before* making the caller spend five minutes jumping through hoops to identify himself. Just a thought.

Prop 8 “fails to advance any rational basis…”
Republican-appointed judge overturns government restriction on personal freedom. Shouldn’t conservatives be happier about this?

I like this quote from the judge, saying that Prop 8 “fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples. … Because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.”

I woke up to the steady drip-drip of water leaking from the kitchen light fixture. Such fun. It turned out to be a broken hose in the upstairs apartment's kitchen sink. Fortunately it's all linoleum, the light cover channeled the water onto the floor, and it was slow enough (and caught soon enough) not to spread to any furniture or walls, so we aren't out anything but a few paper towels.

Ah, computer nostalgia! If you have a Gmail account and have been using computers long enough to remember monochrome monitors, go to Settings and then Themes, and check out the Terminal theme. It's almost perfect: Green on black, fixed-width font, even fake ASCII art for the borders and Gmail logo! The “High Score” theme has areal old-school Nintendo feel to it as well.
