Werner Herzog will record "Go The Fuck To Sleep" audiobook
This is too good. Life imitates art. And how crazy that the book is still #2 on Amazon. Because of “piracy.”
18 WEEKS: It’s a girl!!! I totally secretly wanted a girl (and had a feeling — dream actually — that it was a girl), even though I also knew I would’ve been happy either way. I love this baby so much already, and now that I know it’s a girl, even though I got what I secretly wanted, I realize even more that I couldn’t have cared less about gender.
This is giving me flashbacks.

The City or the Suburbs? - Ohdeedoh
Normally I would link to the article that Ohdeedoh is referring to but the comments here are terrific. We’re struggling with a similar issue but I feel I would rather live in the countryside or the city and skip the ‘compromise’ of the suburbs.
Before yesterday I had one pair of shorts and two pairs of jeans to get me through the summerº. I needed some clothing and since we’re going to be roughing it — staying in a vacation condo with no laundry (gasp!) — I decided to get some lightweight, breathable, pants that would dry easily.
I ended up picking Patagonia’s Continental Shorts ($65) and Borderless Trek Zip–Off Pants ($85) as well as the Touring Cargo Shorts ($50) from EMS. The Zip–Off pants will be terrific for hiking in on the inner island of Kauai while also doubling as another pair of shorts too. All three roll up into tiny bundles, making packing a breeze.
º Technically I do have more than that but the past year saw me gaining back 10 of the 35 lbs I lost, so I am a little big for my existing britches.
A couple of summers ago Bradley lost my ten–year–old backpack at the Museum of Science. Alissa and I are going to be doing some light hiking and a lot of walking around in Kauai and so we went on a hunt for a new backpack.
In case it wasn’t apparent by the fact that it’s been two years since my backpack disappeared let me state it outright – I don’t really use backpacks these days. I have a bag I carry around with paints and brushes, my iPad, and a notebook. We even somehow lived without a backpack on vacation in Orlando last summer. We were about to put down $70 for a new backpack when I discovered these EMS Packable Packs.
These huge, lightweight (.5 lbs) bags squeeze down into a tiny space when not in use. I don’t see that being that necessary on the Honeymoon when it will likely be filled with clothes, paints, brushes, and the iPad, but when we get home again it will take up just a tiny space in our closet. That is priceless to me.
