The toddler and I were just chasing each other around the kitchen table when he got caught up looking at something on the TV. So I took the opportunity to slip into one of the bedrooms next to the family room and hide behind the door. Cue "Where's Daddy?" and the sound of little feet running up and down the hall as he's looking in all the rooms (even the ensuite and main bathroom).

As he was looking in the main bathroom opposite the bedroom where I was, I stepped out into the hallway and as he turned around ...

"Raaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" and grabbed him.

He emits a high pitched squeal as he jumps, followed by (very loudly) "I NEED NAPPY CHANGE!!!!!"

The Mrs and I were laughing our heads off, the daughter in the lounge room had her face buried in the couch crying with laughter, and the boy is sort of laughing but slowly realising we're laughing at him.

I'm still chuckling 20 minutes later. Wish I had a Go-Pro or something for moments like that. Good times.

I just imagined how terrifying The Adams Family would have been if they'd used Macros' hand for "Thing".

Hot diggity, I can almost smell my bounty in some of them holds!

I completed a map/chart earlier myself - one for the ol' book that charts the magic system out for me.

I've had 4 meals already today and now ordering a curry in. Staaaaaaaaarving.

Ageless II is off to a pretty good start. I seem to be in one of those creative moods tonight.

I'm sitting in the chinese waiting for my takeaway.

Although I've hardly eaten a thing today, really hungryyy!

I need ribs.

[Mezla PigDog]

Salt and pepper ribs I hope.

My jalfrezi was awesome although I can no longer feel my gums. I think I'm finally full.

Good job! Salt and pepper squid actually; capital ribs, egg fried rice, chow mein and spring rolls, and a bottle of wine which has mysteriously disappeared already.

Fortunately I stuck another in the freezer.

The construction guys on the site where I work are filling in a large, deep hole inside of a controlled area. The dirt is coming in by dump truck then being pushed in by dirt (mud) ramp down into the hole. They managed to stick the (very heavy) bulldozer down at the bottom of the ramp and now can't get it pulled out despite chain hooking it to an excavator. Reminded me of the "Usually takes a crane to get it out" meme on 4chan. I giggled for about 20 minutes. Bulldozer is still nowhere near able to come out an hour later.

Decided to start my first Malazan reread this past weekend. Only read the 10 Erikson books the first time through so this time I'll be adding in all of ICE's as well as Bauchelain and Korbal Broach. I think I'll be trying the Tor.com reread companion as well. I've started with Night of Knives since it precedes GotM and also because I've not read it yet, but always wanted to know more about Kellanved and Dancer before. The only slight bummer is I know its going to be a slow read. I just have no time to spare for reading since I finished my first read of Malazan a year ago. I've tried to read a couple different books since but couldn't really get going on them. I don't think I'll have that problem with this series!

Second round interview tomorrow. Legal adviser for a university. I'm tentatively excited. I really want the job, but I have some competent competition, and I also worry a little about the sallary. Still, I want this job, and feel sort of proud that I was invited back for this one.

After all the bad celeb news so far this year, what's making me happy is rapper B.O.B. coming out as a Flat Earth conspiracy theorist yesterday and still going hard today, including a sweet Neil Degrasse Tyson diss: https://soundcloud.c...feat-neil-tyson

[Illuyankas]

He and Tila Tequila are hilariously gullible. Also profoundly stupid, but that goes without saying.

[Andorion]

My brother and father gave me the complete ASOIAF box set for my birthday! No more borrowing books from my friends!

What superpower did you obtain?

That interview went very well. I picked out issues from the case that the people who wrote it hadn't considerd, so that was a pluss. Also, I seemingly got along very well with the people doing the interview.

My experience is perfect for this job, but I've not had anything resembling this sort of responsibility before. So if I don't get it, that's probably the reason. Hopefully the reason.

You've gained the power of perverse knowledge? Dude, I could have hooked you up with all of that without planetary alignment.
