A respite from hot season
Yesterday was positively cold and today was as pleasant a day as it gets here; cool enough for long sleeves in the morning and warm enough for short sleeves in the afternoon. I don’t know what I did to earn this respite from what should be mind-shockingly hot days strung together into weeks into months into… but I’ll take it.

max on the wall
Those are newfangled, lightweight building blocks made of some porous, anechoic material (I yelled at ’em and they didn’t answer back.). They’re predictably better at insulating, but much weaker than good old red bricks – they’re only used for top story walls on a two story houses (or everywhere on a single story).

Stone Cold Killer (part 2)

Mina has peed on me four times today
The good news is, we’re saving heaps on disposable diapers. Also, baby pee is good luck (in many of the obscure cultures flourishing, chiefly, in my head).

star fiction / pulp wars
Pulp Fiction otaku factoid of the day: The nickel-plated 1911 (Star Modelo B) Jules carried throughout the film was chambered for 9mm, not .45. ///////////////// This design is from a totally kick-ass t-shirt.

serious growth
Mina could prop herself up before she was two months old… She could turn herself over as well, but only kinda by accident. This morning, she almost moved herself off the bed. She can see across the room, recognizes faces, and talks to you in long spurts when she’s so inclined… Other times, she wants to be held up so she can walk across the room. She’ll be three months old on Saturday.
