BUT...THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF!

So, R & I registered for baby stuff this weekend at Target & Babies-R-Us.

There's a lot of shit that you need to have a kid.

There's also a lot of choice as to what shit you want. I mean, there are 17 billion types of baby bottles, another 20 million types of nipples (which, oddly enough, aren't sold in pairs--not even the "realistic" ones), bottle liners for those too busy to actually wash the bottles, caps for the bottles, insulated carriers for them (both attached & unattached to the diaper bag)....

Don't get me started on strollers or baby seats.

No wonder some women have more than one shower. There's too much shit for one couple to buy!

In other news, we get the keys to the new apartment tomorrow. Hurrah! I like living where I currently reside, but it'll be sooooooooo nice to finally have a place of my own...that I, uh, share with R.....well, you know what I mean. Again, I can't wait(s). [Update: I really won't miss the spiders here. Big, black fuckers that have the habit of dropping down right in front of me while I'm sitting at the computer--as just happened. Scared the hell outta me. Assholes.]

Also, I learned this morning that my brother got a job at HugeAircraftCompany out in CA. This is assuming he passes the background check. Gee, he'll have to drop out of his terrorist cell, but I think he was bored with them anyway. [Note to any security fact checkers: that was a joke.] I wonder if Mom will be able to live with him being so far from home?

All in all, today was a good day. I didn't even have to use my AK...

I CAN'T WAITS!

According to the Anti newsletter, there will be a new Tom Waits album released later this year. Here's a quote from Tom himself:

"Hello good people. We are currently recording a new record in an old schoolhouse in Yreka, Missouri, because there's nothing like fresh material.... all new tunes by Kathleen Brennan and myself to come out in the fall. No title as of yet. We worked with Larry Taylor on bass and
guitar, Mark Ribot on guitar and tres, Brain Manita on drums, Casey
Waits on percussion and turntables, Les Claypool on electric bass and
Harry Cody on guitar. Feelin' good about it all. Songs about Mama,
liquor, trains and death. Politics, rats, war, hangings, dancing,
pirates, farms, the carnival and sinning. In other words, the same 'ol
dirty business; we'll see you down the road."

I can't wait(s)! <drool>

In other Tom Waits news, he recently went to court in Spain.

Also, he was apparently nominated for a Grammy for “Best Male Rock Vocal Performance” for “Return Of Jack & Judy,” his contribution to We’re A Happy Family: A Tribute to the Ramones.

UPDATE: the new album is titled Real Gone.

AVERT YOUR EYES...

...if you're an avid watcher of Fox News ("We report AND decide, so you don't have to!"), listener of Rush, or Republican hack for the White House.

We are not currently at war.

At least, not with anyone but ourselves.

The so-called "War on Terror" is as much a war as is the "War on Cancer" or the "War on Drugs". There are no countries to declare war upon. The only reason that combat troops are being used in this "war" is that the criminals are no longer within the confines of the US. If they were holed up in Montana, the FBI would be all over them, not the Army, because they are criminals, not soldiers of a legitimate government.
