Spent the night at Planet Bachelor. Paul’s still in WA so I crashed on his bed. Paul’s pillows are a … like… love letter to allergens, that’s my hot take, and his bed makes the pillow in the original Bedazzled feel like a dandelion puff. Woke up with sinuses like concrete, although that first cup of coffee blew through that nicely.
Anyway yesterday I had a burrito at Chronic Tacos and got some Cars (PIxar movie, 2005, highly recommended if you care about the internal state of Alex) buttons at the Fabricland down in New West, and sewed them on his Lightning McQueen t-shirt, which he loved, and wore to daycare today. Full props to Keith as being the only person at Planet Bachelor who knew where a needle and thread were. WE SHALL KILL THE GENDER BINARY SLOWLY AND WITH PRAXIS.
We spoil Alex with ludicrous heaps of spoilage, but he’s likely to be an only grandchild, so whatevs.
Confirmed Victoria dates with Katie. Alex is looking forward to it as well.
Oh god another project – I need to do a science song about true bugs and make a video for Alex.
True Bugs are animals
They’ve been around a while
They’ve got a lot of different looks
They’ve got a lot of style
Their bodies are divided
into three major parts
and thanks to evolution
they do not have hearts
What?
They do not have hearts?
What?
They’ve got circulation systems
but they do not have hearts
They have three major body parts
which isn’t very many
the head has eyes to see and a mouth to suck
and two wiggling antennae
Imagine how very different
breakfast would be today
If when you were finished eating
you tucked your mouth away!
What?
Tuck my mouth away?
What?
No I do not tuck my mouth away
Today or any other day
But that is how true bugs live
they tuck their mouths away.
