Nocturnal Pissings

Calvin livened up my night at the end of last week. He's still struggling to wake himself up in the middle of the night to go pee, so I've started waking him up at 11:30pm or whenever I go to bed to get him to go to the bathroom. The other night, JD and I are in our bedroom watching "Pride & Prejudice" (the miniseries, not the movie version - Colin Firth *purr*) when we thought we heard Calvin's bedroom door open. We pause the DVD and listen...but silence. I open our door, see the boys' bedroom door open, but Calvin isn't in bed or the bathroom. I walk to the bedroom next to that (JD's office/Monkey's bedroom) and there, in the darkness, Calvin is standing next to JD's desk peeing on the floor. The poor boy was completely asleep and started crying when I turned on the lights and woke him up.

Afterwards, I started scraping my memories of "accidents." What jumps to mind immediately was when we were visiting my mother's family when I was 10 or 11 years old. I was having some sort of Star Wars dream. I was fleeing some bad guys while running on a flat, desert environment towards a building with guns sticking out of it. Once I got inside, there were urinals along the walls connected to the guns. Without thinking twice, I head to a urinal to fire upon the enemies...only to wakeup nearly immediately realizing what I had done.

What about you? Do you have any memorable accidents?

Political Hit & Run

Gonzales Resigns!

Unless you've closed your eyes, plugged your ears, and screamed "Mary Had a Little Lamb" for the past 6 years, you know that Bush isn't likely to nominate someone to AG that wins praise from both sides of the aisle. Sadly enough, it seems he wan't to nominate the guy "in charge" of the Homeland Security which has shown its worth to America by dropping every ball possible during and after Katrina, has the TSA changing policy more often than a Top 40 station rotates songs, and is more disorganized than when the dept didn't exist and its component parts were scattered in various other portions of the govt.

Dream with me for a moment that Bush looks beyond his loyalty-fetish with advisors and actually nominates someone worthwhile for the job. Yes, and let's also imagine Skittles falling from rainbows which span the country from coast to coast.
