Tonight's episode of Modern Family was the best yet! I know that girlsknowbest watches it and I think dzuunmod watches it too. Is there anyone else? I couldn't stop laughing when I watched it tonight!

I'm writing this up so I can apply to be a mentor in adopt_a_mom. Regular f-listers, feel free to disregard.

I got this in an email today. There's a woman living in Canada named Sandrine Massudom who just had a baby last week and she might get deported.

So someone from booju_newju (a parenting debate community) made a new pet debate community, catfu_dogfu. There was wank in this new community almost immediately and girlsknowbest saw the desperate need for a new snark community, catfudogfusnark. She made me a mod. I feel special. :] So join catfudogfusnark! Especially if you've already joined catfu_dogfu.

Sometimes taking care of Eliot is like playing The Sims. Sometimes your Sims are hungry and they're like, "I want food!" so you tell them to eat and then they watch TV instead and then they're like, "I'm hungry!" Or they have to go to the bathroom, so you tell them to go to the bathroom and then they just stand there and piss on the floor instead. Or they yell at you because they're tired so you tell them to go to bed and then they eat some pizza instead and then yell at you again because they're tired.

Eliot's the same way sometimes. He'll wet his diaper and then cry because he's uncomfortable so I change his diaper and he's like, "Noooooo, this is torture!" Or he'll be cranky because he's tired so I lay down with him to take a nap and it seems like he's going to fall asleep, and then all of a sudden he's chattering away and playing and a few minutes later he's cranky again because he still needs a nap.

This post is making me realize that I haven't played The Sims in a couple of years.

One of the people on my friends list, kaoticconfusion, has been finding something fabulous about every day for the past six months and posting about it in her livejournal. I find it really inspiring and optimistic! So I'm totally copying her. I've been working on being more optimistic over the past year and I think that this will help.

So on the bright side today:
-good weather
-had a really nice snuggle with Eliot and Freya this morning
-ordered chicken souvlaki pitas and I'm currently waiting for them to be delivered to my apartment
-I have awesome lj friends

I assume that my friend already knows about the cheating and lying or else he or she wouldn't have anything to forgive. If they know about it and they're willing to forgive, that's their choice. I'm not going to start unnecessary drama when my friend needs me. I'd probably have trouble spending time with the cheating partner because I would always be suspicious. I would glare at them when my friend wasn't looking, and then when the partner told my friend that I didn't like them, my friend would be like, "I don't know what you're talking about!" Heh heh heh.

I think that this is really important and everyone needs to see it.

No way in hell am I paying for a haunted house. I'd live there rent free though. Ghosts aren't so bad.

Here's an update on this post. The Campbell Apartment won by like 90% or something like that. Take that, big record label!

Since it's National Novel Writing Month, and I should really be working on my novel instead of updating my livejournal, I've decided to pick two authors this week for who would you do Wednesday. I doubt that either of these authors has participated in NaNoWriMo, but whatever.

So who would you rather do?

Stephen King


OR

Dean Koontz?

We've had gorgeous weather here lately. Today I took Eliot for a long walk and took a bunch of pictures for pictown. I took pictures of the liquor store, and the foot-bridge to nowhere, and lots of other stuff. I'll have them up there soon. :)

Have I ever told you how awesome my sister ieatants is? Well, she is awesome. Like, super awesome. She's pretty and smart and funny and if you don't think so I'll spit on your shoes because I LOVE HER. That is all. Now you know.




Edited to add: She needed a pick-me-up about five years ago but I didn't find out about it until today and she's over it now, but here's her pick-me-up anyway.

So my sister's boyfriend has an independent record label, and this band on his label has a chance to be on MTVU. They just have to win more votes than another band on the MTVU website. (Apparently the other band is with a big record label.) So go vote for them here! The name of the band is The Campbell Apartment.

Sticking with the Hallowe'en theme this week, who would you rather do:


a couple dressed up as bacon and eggs

OR


a grown woman dressed as Peter Pan?


EDIT: Once again, comments may not be safe for work.

This one is too easy. Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. Do I really need to say why?

Dear Montreal, can someone please do my homework for me? I have until Monday. TIA!

Edit: There's finally a bit of drama in the comments. Woot, I waited all day!

This week's who would you do Wednesday is festive because Hallowe'en's coming!

And who would you rather do,


Jack the pumpkin king from Nightmare Before Christmas,

OR


Jack the pumpkin head from Return to Oz?

(As a side note, did anyone see Return to Oz as a child and think that it was scary?)

Happy who would you do Wednesday!

So who would you rather do,


Margaret Thatcher

OR


HRH Queen Elizabeth II?
