A bad case of the randoms

slipjig31) I got to hang out with the young'uns for a while this morning before work, since they're spending the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa. They don't have cable at the new place, so the preferred activity du jour was "sitting on our collective heinies and watch Pokemon reruns." Whee. All in all, though, aside from an unfortunate nose-biting incident, it was a good visit.
2) Did I mention that Abbey's taking violin now? Kristi says it's my fault. Can't imagine why. (Oh, and yes, I'm jealous as hell.)
3) Nik is loving the new school, and by all reports is doing reallyreallyreallyreally well. This makes me smile.
4) I'm pretty sure Mr. Drunken Asshat didn't hear me when I told him to drop dead. At least I was polite: "Drop dead, sir." Yeah, it was a Saturday work shift.
5) I am torn between the hey-that's-pretty-cool response and the what-the-fnord-were-they-thinking? response on this one: To advertise the month-long return of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps to the airwaves, Nickelodeon has prepared a series of grindhouse trailers for casual broadcast. Seriously, right down to the color saturation, film scratches and That Guy With the Voice. Well done, but I also need to say, "Thanks, Nickelidiots. My kids are already losing sleep over this. Nice job." (As a sophisticated adult, though, I can honestly say that this isn't too...well, okay, it scares the living pudding out of me. Sue me.)
