What I'm about today

Fountains of Wayne's cover of ...Baby One More Time.

Yes, that "...Baby, One More Time."

It's awesome.

IM chatter

Carmen: There's a seminar this Saturday on how to get a book deal out of a blog. We should go.
Magpie: I don't know that I could write a book of "cute stuff my kids said." But yours could definitely be one
Carmen: EVERYONE writes books of cute stuff their kids said.
Magpie: and they're annoying. I refuse to contribute
Carmen: Yours would be better.
Carmen: "My kids are smarter than your kids, sucka."
Magpie: I also won't buy clothes from the schmancy little clothing lines they sell at Fish Kids. All those women "I had Sophie and realized no one was making really stylish clothes for babies that cost $100 for a sweater."
Carmen: HA.
Magpie: "And I don't work and need to pretend that I do something with my life so I can have an excuse for a full-time nanny."
Carmen: voila.
Magpie: Also, the clothes are invariably crap and fall apart the first time you wash them
Carmen: that's a good name for a clothing store: invariably crap.
