Making Me Sick
Damn kids with their damn viruses. First Olivia got it. Then Dylan got it. Then Dylan gave it to me. The result: a weekend mostly in bed, with major headaches and a chance of vomiting. I still feel like I'm getting trunk-punched in the gut by angry elephants. Also, why is my head so heavy?
No matter. I'm at work now because I have a Super Important TV Commercial to write, and by god write it I will. Except, instead of doing that I've kind of been writing a short story. And now I'm blogging. And in a few minutes I'm probably going home and crawling into bed. So if someone could think of a good idea for a cell phone commercial, that would be fantastic.
SAY CHEESE
Despite the viral smackdown, the kids and I managed to have at least a little fun. We came downtown on Saturday for the St. Patrick's Day parade, only to abandon that plan five blocks in and loll around the riverfront instead. I whipped out my camera for an impromptu photo shoot, which thrilled Olivia...
... and pained Dylan.
People closely related to us might enjoy the rest of the pictures.
SKIRTING THE ISSUE
Ladies, you MUST thrift for long skirts and then turn them into cute bubble skirts by stitching the hem to the waistband. It is so very Screw You, Urban Outfitters. Don't listen to the bubble skirt haters; the bubble skirt is your friend. Just keep it around knee length and stick to grown up colors. If you choose to pair the bubble skirt with footless tights, I can't help you.
MUSIC NEWS
Chicago peeps: Intonation goes on without the 'fork! Click here at noon today to get the 2-day festival passes for just $25. Bloc Party, people! And kids 12 and under are free! I swear to you, I will break those children of Fall Out Boy and Maroon 5 if it kills me.
Loathe them or hate them, Pitchfork's music fest at the end of July does look rather tasty. Silver Jews just added, woot woot! The line up so far also includes:

2-day passes are here for a mere $30.
Hammer Time
I can't remember where I found this but MC Hammer has a blog. And a major hard-on for Barry Bonds, it seems. Read it for the comments if nothing else.
