my birthday is sunday. yup, mother's day. so I get one day instead of two, but wev. I had been going to do a bar night sometime next week to celebrate, but I am not feeling it, have no money, no sitter, and I've been to the bar twice in the last like six weeks, so I'm cool. I could be persuaded to go out for like a drink sometime around the birthday, but not a night out situation. I ain't doing shit for my birthday, except eating a cake. yayy.

Also, for those interested, I don't want presents of boughten things. I have enough things, to be honest. If you want to spend money on a present for me,(hello, char) just paypal it to me at my main email and you get to chip in on my wiscon for my birthday. don't buy me shit.

Homemade things always rock, and at this point fandom shit would win. links to vids and fic, particularly in holmes, buffy, fs, rent, leverage, white collar, other shit you might know I like. Email for questions, addresses, suggestions for going out for a beer whatever at katchoo@charter.net.

SINCE i AM SERIAL POSTING

while my net access lasts, I will post about the kids. Pobo has become computer literate in the last 4 days. Also, kinda literate literate, playing spelling and reading games on pbskids.org, and figuring out how to spell things on her own when, say, naming characters in the games. She just named a superhero "elazabeth" and only asked me for help with 3 letters in it.

They've both been playing the games in the gcompris suite while our net is sketchy, and HQ has been alternating between helping his sister, and playing the more complicated levels and such. The only suck thing is there is one computer that they can share, because mine is WAY too busted for either of them, since if you bump it it falls apart, so they are fighting over hq's computer, which they nominally share, full fucking time now.

I try not to compare him to other kids, but when he hangs out with his bff who is a grade ahead of him and in "real" school, I can not help but notice the ways HQ is ahead of him. and how often HQ has to correct really erroneous information from him. or do the reading for them if there is reading to be done, instructions or walkthroughs or whatever.

also, my house smells like cornmeal.
