My son loves Britney!

So, I’m borrowing all this music from the library to load onto my iPod and I decide to check out a Britney Spears album. I am especially fond of Ooops… I did it again. Which I heard over and over again in Taiwan at the Taiwan version of Walmart: the RT-Mart. They had her video playing over and over again on their display TV. So there I am in Taiwan listening to this underage girl doing whatever. So I check it out of the library to relive my Taiwan days and I pop it into the CD player and the V-man starts bopping along. He actually screamed (!?!) when I suggested that we listen to another lovely selection from the library. “I WANT BRITNEY!” screamed the 2 year-old.

Nap / No nap?

So I had decided that I wasn’t going to make Vince take a nap anymore. I was spending the whole afternoon trying to make him lie down in bed and then he would fall asleep at 3:30 pm and sleep until 5 pm. Then he wouldn’t go to sleep until 11 and Jeremy and I would be really sleep deprived. So today, we are running around the house and 2 o’clock comes around and Vince falls asleep on the study floor. What gives?

Interview Went Well…

Went to a startup today for an interview… it was good. The guy was super nice – very euro looking. He had on glasses that didn’t have frames nor pads and he dressed very well. I don’t know how I did really since he didn’t show it if i did badly or not. We’ll see. The work sounds interesting but i’d be working hella hard. But

I really really like the dude. he’d make a good mentor.

i’m trying to learn to type on a dvorak keyboard now. my typing is so slow now but we’ll try to stick with it and see how it goes. It’s to satisfy the nerd in me.

Misplaces monies as usual.

Hey, dad.. Remember the check you gave us for Xmas? Well, Jeremy doesn’t remember where he put it.. If you could reissue one, that would be great! Then we can go out to dinner 🙂

So now that the holidays are over, we are back on our budget.
