Random Brain Dump

Ran across some funny campaign posters inspired by the original posters by Shepard Fairey…

Funny… but it says it all, doesn’t it? 🙂

We were driving yesterday and explained to the girls that we were going to look to buy a house.

Suzanne: We are going to look at a house because we’re looking to buy a house.
Allison: We’re going to buy a house?
Suzanne: Yeah…
Allison: Are you kidding?
Suzanne: No.
Allison ponders then said: But how are we going to bring it home, Mommy?

Sports Illustrated is running some photos of abusive signs from college students. Funny stuffs like this one pictured here…

Okay dude, but who’s keeping the ugly guys out of Indiana? 🙂

My youngest daughter Allison has a favorite pillow. It’s actually a throw pillow, but it’s made of this super soft material. She doesn’t actually sleep on it, but uses it as a body pillow. She places it on her right side of the bed every night. She really loves the pillow– so much that she’s become very protective of it. Here’s a telling episode…

We let the girls sleep with us on our bed on Saturdays– it’s a treat for them and us! A few times we’d asked Allison if she wants to bring her favorite pillow with her to our bed. To our surprise, she always declines. Odd, but whatever… So this past Saturday, Suzanne grabbed Allison’s pillow without asking. Allison objected, but relented since it was late and Suzanne didn’t want to go back and get another pillow.

The next morning, Allison got up. First thing she did was stealthily got off the bed, grabbed her pillow and put it back on her bed before heading out to the living room. Little did she realized that her sly actions were being observed by Suzanne who was already up but been laying still in bed. Curious, Suzanne asked Allison later that morning why she took her pillow back rather than just leaving it behind (she’s not the tidy type)– to which Allison replied that she didn’t want her mom to starts liking her pillow and then keeps it.

Unbelievable! So it all made sense to us now, all this time she didn’t want to take her pillow into our bedroom on Saturday nights because she didn’t want to risk the chance that we decide to keep it after we “discover” how soft the pillow is. 🙂 It’s so funny how a 4 year-old can get so paranoid & protective of their things.

Too funny… 🙂

After months of indecision, I’ve made up my mind on the candidate I’m voting for.

This past weekend, we head up to the Sierra for a short camping trip. Camping with the 2 Brads is interesting.

One Brad of course gets all the attention from the women, as evidenced by the photo below with both Suzanne & Sandra looking at him longingly. He’s a diva who’s simply just suck at camping, can’t even toast a marshmallow or make a cup of tea for himself. This center-of-the-universe figure spends the entire weekend whining about Angelina this and Angelina that… Unbearable!

The other less-famous Brad on the other hand is a skillful outdoorsman — be it tending the fire, fishing trouts, singing camp songs, coming up with kiddie games or making Minnie Mouse pancakes. Can’t speak for the women but I’d rather camp with Brad J. over Angelina’s boy anytime!

For a blogger, I actually don’t read many blogs. Most of the ones I frequent are friends’ to keep up with what they are up to…

One of the few blogs I do follow though is The Dilbert Blog. Scott Adams is one funny man. While most of his writing is laced with his unique humor, it’s not always about silliness. Some of his posts are very thought-provoking and usually with very unique & interesting perspective.

Check it out if you haven’t, it’s one of the most entertaining blogs in cyberspace!
