Last night we sort of celebrated Earth Hour. We tried to time it so that dinner would be ready at 8:30 and we could sit down to a relaxing candle-lit affair at the appropriate time, all lights darkened. Due to some unfortunate timing, M was knee-deep in a litterbox cleaning adventure that I must admit I strong-armed him into, and dinner was not quite finished. While M refused to finish the litterbox by candlelight, I nevertheless finished dinner in the dark, which is... not a good idea. When he finished, I implored him to wash his hands in the dark and join me, but he insisted at least a full-upper body wash and change of clothes was required. "But the LIGHTS!" I implored.
"Fuck Earth Hour!" sayeth he, dramatically flipping on the stairwell lights and trouncing upstairs.
Uh-oh. I think the Earth heard him, as we have been punished today with MORE SNOW and this interesting tid-bit of news: waves from 8-12 feet are gusting in Lake Michigan (whhaaaaaat?)
In other news, you won't believe it but I've been plagued with a weird stomach-thing lately. On the advice of some random person I met in Texas I've been taking activated-charcoal and chugging pepto-bismo* like a collage freshman on a bender. Aside from that I've been amusing myself by watching this video and saying "Charlie bit me and it really hurt."
* I know that's not how it's spelled, but that's how I like to pronounce it.

of her books are so inviting and absorbing, even if they're deeply sad and

OMG, that video is so HILARIOUS!! I watched it by myself, found myself laughing so hard that Devin ran in thinking I had been drugged or something. Thanks! I needed that. :)
Sounds like one strange evening!!
Ha! We love "Charlie bit me" I scream it out when sometimes Charlie really does bite me nursing (not often). That is the funniest video.
"'Fuck Earth Hour' sayeth he...." laughing myself blind...
yes, it was one strange evening! (:
Yesterday ( a week late)I saw the only Earth Hour poster at a bus stop. I guess there was supposed to be some effort made in LA, but one poster won't get this crowd's attention.
I want to know what was in that litterbox, that M had to take a shower after cleaning it!?
I didn't know about Earth Hour, but it would have been fun to with the boys.
Loved the video, hilarious!! (Brian thought it was one of the boys)
