General Chatter
Mar. 6th, 2009 02:51 pmI feel like I've been quiet. Probably because I have been. Eating hospital was a success, but it was draining.
Yes, eating hospital was a definite success. Food still has to be presented to Toby in very specific ways, but we've doubled the number of foods he'll eat. Before, he would eat waffles, pancakes, baby oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce, muffins, jelly sandwiches, bagels with cream cheese, crackers and anything with a chocolate chip. Now we've added peaches, pears, bananas, carrots, broccoli, green beans, spaghetti with meat sauce, and chicken nuggets. Plus, he's sampled strawberries, celery, and (voluntarily asked for) baked potato soup. HUGE change.
So, we currently have to do three structured meals a day, and plus the regular meals. Exhausting, but worth it.
Trevor is getting so close to walking. He runs around with his little pushcart laughing, and oh my god, he's so flipping CUTE. He's such a happy baby- I've never seen such a happy baby before. He's really starting to get more of a personality, and he's SO cuddly. You just can't help but squeeze him.
Looking forward to tonight's episode. Only four more hours left of BSG canon! I'm hoping they manage to resolve everything that needs to be resolved, though. Although I had a really weird, fortunately probably not true thought.
( Spoilers up to Someone To Watch Over Me )
Believe it or not, I have been watching other things besides BSG. Like ( Heroes )
And of course there's ( Lost )
I've also been reading Watchmen, which I won't say much about because I'm only 2/3 of the way through. But it is as awesome as the fanboys say, and I'm loving it. I'm finding myself reading it more slowly because I don't want to be done with it. That's always good. I want to see the movie, but there's no way it will happen this weekend as I already promised Howard he could take Sunday off. Maybe next weekend, but I'm dubious- I think there's too much going on.
And we've been catching up on How I Met Your Mother. Okay, would someone PLEASE give Neil Patrick Harris an Emmy already, please? The rest of the cast is awesome as well, but NPH is the jewel. He had me laughing so hard the other night my sides hurt. (Stuff- the one where Lily makes them go to her play and then he puts on a play to annoy her.)
It's funny. I was starting to think of making a list of bromances I really like: the Tigh-Adama relationship, the Ted-Marshall-Barney triangle, Harry-Ron, Jayne-Shepherd Book, Josh-Sam and Leo-Jed, and as I was thinking that I realized how few good girl friendships show up in the stuff I watch/read. I mean, there are strong female characters, but the closest BSG gets to a good girl friendship is Kat-Starbuck, HP doesn't really put one front and center, Firefly the best I could come up with was Kaylee-Inara, West Wing doesn't really have a good one... (How I Met Your Mother, though, has Lily-Robin, which so far I REALLY like, and then there's Buffy-Willow. I love Alyson Hannigan, apparently.) I suspect this is partly due to the fact I watch a lot of traditionally male-dominated areas, and I'm lucky to be getting characters like the ones I do. But note to self: make sure there are some awesome female-female relationships in my own novel. (Which actually helped, because I'm stuck on one of my plot threads and knowing that this is something I want to see kind of gave me a nice red arrow for a direction.)
Anyway, enough chatter. I should read or write or nap or clean or something. Hope everyone's having an awesome day!
