Blog of Doom

Yet another reason for me to hate Windows. Bill, what the hell were you thinking!? I brought my work laptop (a Dell) home yesterday. We have a Samsung multifunction printer (SCX-4016 for those who care). It’s a laser printer (black and white only), a photocopier and a scanner. We only found out after we bought [...]

Morgan’s space helmet came on Monday while I was at work. Anne called me to let me know he got it and how much he loved it. He should, since he’s been talking about it since forever. Christ, he wouldn’t shut up about it! Anne said he just put it in front of him and [...]

This morning, he wanted some applesauce (one of this favorite things), and he asked [...]

Morgan’s magic room is the spare bedroom in our apartment. We keep all our old crap and empty boxes in that room. I have to clear it out one of these days. For Morgan, it’s a magical room full of cool stuff. When he looks at a toy catalog, he assumes that it is just [...]

I can usually tell what specific problems Morgan’s teachers are having based on what he repeats at home. Morgan repeats phrases and sentences. For example, this morning he was walking around the house saying “I do not scream at school.” and “No hitting.”
