Friday Unrelated Information
1. Here’s a fiesty (and profane) piece about the benefits of working in advertising if you’re creative. The writer makes some good points:
You can try to make it with your band or be a novelist in your free time. But during the day, you may as well learn about how to work creatively with other people, and how to accept rejection and outright failure, even if you still think that Verizon catalog copy you wrote was a masterpiece.
2. Being Easter weekend, it’s time for my annual religious experience: listening to Bach’s St Matthew Passion.
3. It’s also this guy’s first Easter (and nearly his first birthday)! I had to resist buying him the bunny ears costume I saw at Target.
Because obviously he doesn’t need ANY clothes to be cute!

Better Than A Space Picture
Can you even stand the cute?
In the words of Napoleon Dynamite, “There’s more where that came from.”
Advantage: His
My brother has started a blog for the new year, and he has a secret weapon: Daily pictures of Skyler. Go check it out and get your fix of baby cuteness and antics (and tractors). It’s called Living with the Bubbs.
See what I mean?

1. Enough talking about me; let’s talk about clothes! I’ve found a blog that covers all of James Bond’s clothes in the various movies, down to fit, cut, and sources: The Suits of James Bond
2. We also haven’t talked about space in a week. Here’s a site with some gorgeous pictures of the night sky from Earth–because the planet under our own feet is pretty incredible, too.
3. And, preemptively, Happy New Year! I hope 2012 is good to us all. 2011 was pretty great, all considered–I have actual muscles in my upper body, I have a house, and I have this guy to be an auntie to:
(Hm, back to talking about me. But do you blame me for wanting to show this kid off?)
Tuesday Project Roundup: The Cute Doesn’t Stop
A Visit From Skyler
Look who came over to his auntie’s house on Saturday! There was lots of kitty chasing–because someone can crawl now:
There was also a moment when I had to tell Toby that the little creature wanting to touch him was not for pouncing on. (Toby had a look in his eye; I wanted to head that off.)
There was also some delicious paper to be had:
Kitties and paper and Skyler, oh my!
And The Grinch’s Heart Grew Three Sizes That Day
…oh wait, I’m confusing my holidays. But this is a similar transformation:
I have a long list of reasons why I hate Halloween as an adult, but do you know what melted my shriveled little heart this year?
1. Charles Schultz and Vince Guaraldi:
2. Having an actual kid around. Is this baby jaded or disappointed? No–he is delighted by that pumpkin! He is going to be a cow tonight. I can’t wait.
MYFO Monday
Are you ready to Melt Your Face Off with cuteness? Look who came to visit my house Friday night:
He really liked the texture of the couch.
He also liked Toby, when he noticed him. (Toby didn’t really know what to think.)
We even went out onto the new playground in the common area:
Nothing like a visit from Skyler to get the weekend off to a good start!
