Speaking of Denver (hey, I didn't bring it up), the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls came to PDX yesterday and got a sound thrashing at the hands (skates?) of the Wheels of Justice. The Olympia team was here and got beaten, too. It was fun. I'm hoarse today.

Baja Fresh is the best major burrito chain, without no doubt.

I just read this interesting article on Thomas being voted the favorite toy/character by autistic children a couple days ago.  It helps me out in gaining some appreciation of the character, since I'm absolutely terrified of that train.

Thomas is an awesome teaching tool for kids, but dang if those trains aren't creepy.  Those gigantic, empty eyes...

they haunt me at night.

1) Thomas the tank engine scares the shit out of me.
2) The son of the creator of Thomas came by my work last year to read from the books for an ultra special group of kids, and there was this huge Thomas in the lobby for days, all staring at me with his cold dead eyes.  So creepy!  I never got within 10ft of him.
3) The current Thomas show is about to tour to my area, and the commercial has a point where one of the engines is mad, and I screamed in terror when I saw it.
4) Ringo Star... what the hell?

Since it was a while ago, I just thought I'd quote from my earlier post on my fear of Thomas.  I'm not being silly when I say I'm haunted by that huge Thomas that was set up at my work.  I was the first person in in the mornings, and I would intentionally no look in his direction in the darkened lobby before I turned the lights on.  I was honestly afraid that his eyes would follow me.  I felt a deep relief when the train was gone.

You know, sometimes I read your posts and I wonder why I even bother posting my own self. That there is just more interesting and disturbing than anything I've posted in a while, if not ever.

One of my coworkers, who also found him disturbing (and had to sit in the lobby at box office) said she thought she saw him move out of the corner of her eye once.  She said this in a hushed voice, perhaps so as not to concern the parent who was letting her two year old climb on Thomas, or perhaps because she was afraid he might hear her.  We both soothed ourselves, rationalizing that there was only a half-foot of track in front of him, and that he wasn't. going. anywhere.  Thomas in my periphery vision is a tad more creepy thanThomas front-on.  In that space before your eyes focus... you better watch your fuckin' back.

In a fit of respect for my daughter's future teenage cringing, I will refrain from further anecdotes.
Besides, search engines of the future will probably make Google look like WAIS and she could use the evidence to justify putting me in a home.

Our little joke is that I promise to cook some giraffe for her and she laughs.

Who's pooping on the toilet now, Morpheus!

Is he referring to the god of sleep, or Laurence giraffeburne in the Matrix, or some third party unkown to me?

As my style of parenting devolves from genuine care to endlessly restarting the Little Mermaid DVD, I experience a twinge of nostalgia.
