after midnight

yep, it's 1am and i've been restless then up for a while now. so much for a good night's sleep...

we rented the invisible man last night, it's an excellent concept with great production, but there are parts of it that were so poorly written that i spent them raging with disappointment. there are infinitely better ways to move a plot forward than to rely on characters being completely ****ing stupid. there were a number of great scenes that make it clear that the writers were just lazy, as opposed to incompetent.

today was a much better take on "anniversary". we dropped mr smear off at our cousins for a few hours, went to plant for an enjoyable lunch date, chilled at home (i completed a chunk of my side-project, and we re-watched some of bill burr's paper tiger), and then spent about four hours picking up mr smear.

it was late by the time we returned home, and in a few hours we'll be getting up for his first school day since march 12th.

i hope we've got everything we need.
