Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator

The girls and I have been reading "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" together.  Roald Dahl is usually a good author, but this book is a nonsensical mess.  I read it when I was their age, and it seemed reasonable at the time, but now I wonder how it ever got published.  Or is it just me?  He was working on a third book in the series, "Charlie in the White House", but (thankfully?) never got past the first chapter.

The end of multiply

It looks like "multiply" is going bottom up, so I've moved my blog archive to here.  Most of this is old, from when my blog was on Yahoo 360.  Maybe I'll start it up again?

limerick

I keep meaning to post a spontaneous limerick I wrote a few months back, in case I forget it.  The first line was written by someone else, who commented that it sounded like the first line of a limerick.

I once had a penpal from Leeds
Who sent me a packet of seeds.
I put them in pots,
And watered them lots,
But all that came up were some weeds.

adult free time?

Finally, all the kids are at school and I more or less have my life back.  The concept of "Mike Wazowski you've got your life back Lane" from Monsters Inc. is starting to make more sense.

Strangely, I've been wanting to spend less time online, which may be a good thing.

I notice that www.linkable.org has stopped working again - who knows why.

joined-up blogging

Multiply claims that I can now cross-post to twitter and facebook.  Let's see if that's true - that'll make things easier...

Entry for May 22, 2009

While we were watching Toy Story as a family recently, it came to my attention that my husband finds Sid's toy "Legs" somewhat erotic (see picture). Is this a guy thing? Or a dev thing? Or is he just a big pervert? Answers on a postcard please...

experimental first post

Googling the following phrase seems to turn up nothing, so I'll be the first to say it.

"There is no such thing as society, only Facebook."
