Tweets for the week of 2011-01-30

  • Off to l'hospital with the essentials: laptop(s), Buffy Seasons 1 & 2, @ChuckWendig's Irregular Creatures on the Kindle. Oh, and @DaphneUn. #
  • The paper towel dispenser in @daphneun's room randomly runs. Dispenses. Whatever. @maureenjohnson's Icegor has a cousin: Towelgor. #
  • The odds of cancellation just spiked. RT @DrewBenTaylor: Q: how good is #beinghuman on @Syfy? A: Very #
  • Hospital wants me to itemize all the electronics we brought with us. So that's the rest of the night. #
  • No baby news. Buffy totally stopped the Harvest, though, so there's that. #
  • Update: @DaphneUn is sleeping. Has labor started? Eh. Babyuns heartbeat floats out of the room's overhead speakers like awesome white noise. #
  • In semi-related news, I have had the chorus from @jonathancoulton's 'Betty and Me' going through my head ALL night. #
  • When I say @daphneun is sleeping, please understand that I mean hospital-interruption-sleeping, which != sleeping. Watching more Buffy now. #
  • The Buffy episode "Teacher's Pet" raises several philosophical questions. Such as: "How did the show make it to Season Two?" #lowpoints #
  • Heading home for a few minutes to give Dizzy her shot. @daphneun's starting the next round of baby eviction notices. #
  • Also: anyone who feels like making sadface at the word 'induction' should STFU now. This is not the time to contribute to the conversation. #
  • (Besides, anyone who knows me and @daphneun knows that any kid of ours is a kid that'll need to be forcibly kicked out of a comfy bed.) #
  • Lots of doctor visits today, so far. @DaphneUn has a Darth Vader mask on now. So hot. I mean she says it's hot. I don't have a Vader fetish. #
  • RT @shitmydadsays: Aliens exist, I just don't think they came millions of light years to see earth. Like driving 1000 miles to go to Arby's. #
  • No major babyun updates. Averages would indicate another 7ish hours to go. @DaphneUn it obviously above average… whatever that may mean. #
  • Ladies and gentlefolk: Babyun. http://twitpic.com/3tdnhw #
  • And he was early due to a surprise c-section. Everyone is great. #
  • Those of you asking: bebe's official nomme d'internet will be bestowed by @maureenjohnson once her custom ornithopter sets down. #
  • Kaylee: Can I feed Sean? Me: Well, he's still figuring out eating. He doesn't even know what his tongue is for. K: WHAT? It's for ICE CREAM. #
  • Kaylee: "I like our family. It was already awesome, and now it is even more awesome." #thingskayleesays #thekidsareallright #
  • RT @theknittingnerd: @doycet @DaphneUn It looks like KT Literary has a new… :) http://twitpic.com/3tkprx #
  • Kaylee and Sean Douglas. "Our family is getting even more awesome." http://flic.kr/p/9dn6N3 #
  • Playing 'Moving Castle' with Kaylee. She's driving it around to pick up tea and cupcakes. And fairies. #
  • So @daphneun was sure that right when the bearcub arrived, I'd get a new day job, just b/c that would be least convenient. She was right. #
  • As an upside, I seem to get a lot more writing done when I don't have as much time to write, so it's a plus for finishing up projects. #
  • Egypt Leaves the Internet (http://j.mp/hCnc7c) – This is crazy. #
  • MMOs: Ditto. RT @gapingvoid: The trouble with writing about business is that it's actually pretty fucking boring most of the time. #shh #
  • Allllmost ready to head home with the new man of the house. #
  • "I think Sean went from Cute to Adorable today. He leveled up!" #thingskayleesays #
  • And yeah, I know I've been quiet the last couple days. That's the peace and serenity of exhaustion. #
  • "The Bearcub, coming home." My current favorite overdose of cuteness. http://flic.kr/p/9e4tAr #
  • I and @daphneun have decided Sean bears the closest resemblance to… Winston Churchill. #
  • "We shall fight on the changing tables, we shall fight in the cribs and in the bassinets; we shall never surrender!" #
  • Working on the E.A.S.Y. routine from the Baby Whisperer – very successful thing with Kaylee. First dream-feed in about an hour. Then we see. #
  • A bit of re-reading today; half-remembered baby stuff that needed refreshing. Crossing fingers for Kaylee-grade nighttime awesomeness. #
