Earthquake drill! Time to sit under the desk in slacks, then mill around outside without sunglasses. I feel safer.
Example from @rossyruppe “I already left, will late on sat :(” What?
Sometimes iPhone autocomplete leaves messages hilariously incomprehensible. Not news, but fun to guess which word was entered incorrectly.
A new addiction for all you iPhone users: Drop7 lite. It’s tetris + math + crack cocaine. (Seriously, I could play this all day.)

This movie is on my “to watch” list for this year. I’m excited about Cameron’s return to scifi epics, but I am worried this could be great or suck mightily. Looks good so…
Added a baby-proof gate to the living room and it required us to rearrange the entire room. Yay rewiring the ent. center! [not sarcastic]

I was one of many to jump on the Mulatu bandwagon with the Broken Flowers soundtrack. This guy is fantastic and this is a great interview, too.

The new Dirty Projectors song, Stillness is the Move, is the greatest alternate universe Mariah Carey song I have ever heard.
I was under the impression that appreciation for The Big Lebowski was near-universal; it seems that is not the case. Color me surprised.
A great late spring/early summer listen
I Was A King - I Was A King
Drove almost all the way to work with my e-brake on. There’s a metaphor for something here. Probably “Ryan doesn’t pay attention to his car”
Watched the newest Heroes (“I Am Sylar”) and was pleasantly surprised. Sure, some of it was terrible (Sylar’s mommy) but not ALL of it was.
RT @rossyruppe: Did you know that 3 children die every day in the US due to child abuse?! That’s more then 1000 a year!

Given its relative size, it’s impressive the influence Hawaiian culture has had in the US. The Enchanted Tiki Room, for instance.
Isabella lovvved Small World. Truly she is my daughter. I got video of the whole thing!
Today we’re determining if it’s possible to have fun at Disneyland when it is a million degrees outside. Verdict so far: inside rides = :)
Yay getting work done on my car. Boo paying for getting work done on my car.
Taking the day off for the Columbine tenth anniversary. We’re going to Disneyland, which will be a lot better than my 4/20 ten years ago.
Today’s Foxtrot is a math puzzle. Guess who just solved it. (It says “Paige Fox is bad at math”)
I wish I was solar powered (like Superman) rather than the sun sucking out all my energy when I am outside for any length of time.
Coffee & chicory and beignets at downtown Disney!
We had our first poop on the floor experience with Bella tonight. I think we’re already jaded as parents; it didn’t phase us at all.
