the reasons ive been so absent as of late.

i spend all day, just about every day with these too darlings.

water balloon fights, dino chicken nuggets, football in the rain, filming our own zombie movies... i love my job.

oh russell brand...

"i aint never really had much fun. i particularly dislike pre-ordained happy occasions. i dont mind christmas so much, because everyones involved, as long as theyre christians or lazy atheists, or muslim but into tinsel. but ive never had a good new years eve and i dont like birthdays or any other time when youre meant to be happy. im against the prescription of say 'ooh, its christmas o'clock. smile everyone!' for me happiness occurs arbitrarily: a moment of eye contact on a bus, where all at once you fall in love; or a frozen second in park where its enough that there are trees in the world. i dont like new years eve. i dont think bliss could ever be preceded by a countdown and the chiming of a pompous clock, unless thats what deaths like."

took the thoughts right out of my brain.

sorry for the lack of posts as of late. ive been a busy busy bee.
