Speaking of Bottom-Loading Water Coolers,

I better write something uplifting here, with lots of pictures, so that the people who visit me for the first time after reading this review won't be overwhelmed by my previous post.

Things are better back in the Holy Land, which makes things here easier. It enables us to feel sorry for ourselves for having a cold. The baby having a cold is a different story. It's not easy to listen to my boy cough at night. I put the heat on 70 and I give him Tylenol, but that's really all I can do. I feel helpless.

But he's happy. He jumps around and says funny things in two languages. Let me find a cute picture...

IKEA board

We celebrated his second birthday on Sunday. As usual, the city had a parade.

Mayor Dixon

That's Mayor Dixon. She might be kicked out soon because of Gift-Card-Gate. She was found Guilty a few days before Liam's parade. She is appealing, saying it's nothing more than politically motivated witch hunt. The Baltimore Sun says there's no such thing as a small theft. I guess they're both right, but she's more right.

Hey, here's What'sisname!

Darth

So I stood outside for a while and took pictures, but then,

Indoors parade

Because it was too cold.

More people came inside.

Indoors parade2

And anyway, we had more important things to do inside:

Elmo Cake

But it was too late, and now we're all sick, which is fine. Whatever.

Speaking of random: I wrote an angry email to IKEA and now, as a result, they're sending me a $50 gift certificate. But I hate being the guy who emails Customer Service to complain about shit. It takes a certain type of person to do that, and it's a little disappointing to find out I'm THAT guy. It's not like I did it as part as an overall quest for world-justice.

First, they came for the people with real wooden furniture, and I didn't stop them, because I had IKEA shit. Then, they came for me, and there was no one left to stop them...

Well, that should be enough for now. Fifteen more weeks, Bitches!

Happy birthday to the little one, it's nice they give a parade especially for him.

That cake looks good... who ate the eyes?

If the mayor is being witch hunted does that make her a witch?

I wrote you an email comment that hopefully got to you & really was about something else... But happy birthday to him!!!! & on the Ikea thing - well you know if stuff when you bought it, no one would have to write angry letters in the first place. :-0

Seeing Darth Vader getting into the Christmas spirit really makes me happy. Although I was told he was a Muslim and is secretly trying to infiltrate the christian holiday of xmas so that he can better destroy it.

But seriously, I actually heard that people believe there's a vast conspiracy to destroy christmas. That shit is hilarious. Some people have no problems in life, or they have too much anger, and they need to find something silly to vent at, like the destruction of xmas.

I hope you all feel better very quickly. Being sick is no good. Especially hoping the little one bounces back super fast, but you too of course!

Cooper, thank you. I had to pull some strings. Bribe a few jury members. But you know nothing is too good for my boy. The sky divers with the Happy Birthday banner never showed up. My lawyers have been informed.

SJ, the eyes were prunes. Which means they're probably still around somewhere.

Jill, I got your email. Sorry it's taking me so long to answer. I'm a week behind on life. And of course don't worry about anything. And I know I was right with the IKEA thing, but I just don't like to be that guy, you know? The one who says we got bad service, so we should pay a tip. It's a slippery slope before I'm that guy.

Sebastien, thanks. I saw a T-Rex skeleton with a Christmas hat today. Which could only mean one thing: I'm not sure what it is, but it can only mean one thing!
