Here I sit....

listening to ABBA trying to calm my son down. He is in a bad mood.

I invite him into my special basement corner, trying to explain that if I am the Mattcaveman, he is my little sidekick. Right now his behaviour dictates that his sidekick name be "Rotten" but he has finally calmed down. He is a good kid he just seems to be having teething pains these days.

Happiness is fleeting, grab what little bits you can every day before it all disappears. Like today, I was shopping at the drug store at work and I had to buy diapers for the wee one. The girl at the cash smiled when I was there, and asked boy or girl,how old etc.. I whipped out my phone and showed her the pictures of him I keep and she smiled and said he was gorgeous. That makes me happy and I embraced it.

This and that...

Is anybody else as happy I am that the Raptors missed the playoffs? (Another small thing to grab.) One can also hope that the Leafs also hand over an early draft choice again.

Some people think I have a very unhealthy love of Smurfette. Just because I have more figurines of her than say..every other Smurf means nothing!

Everytime I re-read the Lord of the Rings I gain a new appreciation for two things: Tom Bombadil and the Council of Elrond chapter. I really think the movies screwed up by not including Tom, but the Council scene was very well done. Overall, Mr. Jackson did a great job with the movies. However, that is still no reason to gouge the fans with two versions of the Blu-Ray versions this year.

I want a Blu-Ray player. It would be keen.

And to finish....

My son is going for a bath soon. He loves that. He hates the bed part afterward though.

Until next time....
