littlewindowsoftime
I'm determined to write some kind of post today. (06-07-10: and so i did! although, in retrospect, it just may have been a good idea to wait a while till i had time to edit a bit. but why? really. this is how it is. little windows of time.)
N's music class on Wednesdays. (that's today. oh yeah.) A group of 3-5 yr old kids singing and running around. and as i type about it a song comes on (random) my computer "hop little bunnies" by Kathy Reid-Naiman. That's one of the songs N sings and hops to at her class.
F, N, and I were mid nap today (a nap is a rare and precious thing around here) when it was time to head out for N's class. All three of us napping at the same time=dreamy. Also I should mention that is was rainy icky miserable out. It was very tempting to just stay home. But I know it's better later on in the day if we just go. So I got everyone up and dressed and out the door in a hurry. We were only a few minutes late...
Then the waiting and pacing at the community centre. F was sleeping in the Ergo so I paced around to keep him asleep. Sat for a bit to read local papers, and a scary People magazine someone left lying around, with an article on missing children. Ugh.
Home again.
Baby F was just handed to me "Feed him." Fed him. N just came over to ask for some breast milk to put on an owie. "Heal me," she says. Breast milk is amazing. It helps heal all sorts of things. Cuts, scrapes, burns, eye and ear infections, temper tantrums, insomnia... etc, etc. Incredible and cool.
I had much more to say but now my arms are full of baby and fresh requests/demands are coming at me from all angles (members of my family) at the moment.
Bye for now.

radiohead in the rain
The Radiohead show was amazing, of course. Thanks to N's grandparents for hanging out with her while we were at the show!
My camera is dying! I've gotten a lot of use out of it and i think this show may be one of its last excursions. prime shooting conditions: rain, mushy August dusk to darkness, squishy pushy crowd (Yes, let's remember, folks: "it's not Rage Against the Machine", thanks Thom! Really. There were some real jerks in the crowd. There were many great people too..) Our camera's screen with an evergrowing black splotch in the middle that now covers more than half of the screen, guessing what i might be taking a picture of, and, of course, the fact that I really was more concerned with being present in the moment at this fantastic show by one of my absolute favourite bands ... (I didn't have a camera at all the last time I saw them, five years ago- another amazing show, standing in pretty much the same spot. And I will never forget that show, even without pictures or videos of it.) Location: Thunderbird Stadium, Vancouver, BC When: Tuesday, August 19th, 2008
the camera's screen
the big screen
radiohead
a shaky shaky video, but oh so pretty music
walking away, right after paranoid android.
the walk back to the car after the show. happy and wet.
