wordplayI should probably not be as charmed by this story as I am. But god, this is a kid with serious initiative, who knows how to put a plan together and go for what he wants. Sure, there were details he didn't work out all the way, but he's 6 - he'll learn.
Marc's take: "If he makes it to 25, he will probably be on a top 100 list (entrepeuners, up and coming artists, youngest ceo's, etc.). It's that 16-25 period where he will be like, "Let's make a bungee jump using only a box of rubber bands!" O at 6 would have just whined until we fed him. A would probably attempt to make something herself. ("Pancakes!")"
He's not wrong, although there's a reason we keep a bowl of apples and bananas on the kitchen table - the kids have been helping themselves to those for years. :D

Did not go to the Josh Ritter show last night with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
omphale23 and riverlight, because I was just so, so tired and couldn't bear not being at home. And although I hear his set was amazing, it also apparently didn't begin till 10 pm, and I would have been absolutely dreadful company for the hours of waiting. I just suck at mid-week stuff right now - I'm exhausted, and overstretched, and it sucks because I really want to spend time with riverlight and I genuinely need to talk to omphale23 and I'm frustrated at not having the time and energy to make it happen. *pouts*
I can't wait for autumn. Srsly. I am hanging on with both hands, here. I find the change of season so invigorating, and I really need that boost of energy from the cool air. (I typo'd "boots of energy" at first. I'd really love those, too!)

Also, the Toyota Tacoma/Warcraft commercial came on during the Today show this morning. Really? THAT'S their market? *confused* I still find the ad hysterical, although I'm not sure how many people will get it, at least without the Leroy Jenkins connection. Still, *amused*.

on 2007-10-10 07:51 pm (UTC)You can, um, hear me yelling at various points. It's a particularly annoying and piercing sort of noise that isn't quite a scream. I bet that my band director didn't have it in mind when he taught us about breath control.
*rolls eyes*
Also, we definitely need to get together. How's your schedule for this weekend?
