Went to see my friends new baby yesterday. I'm those who like the teeny tiny newborns most, even thought they don't actually *do* anything, like open their eyes or something.

There I heard about the new Tree-hugger-trend in child care: the No diapers Trend! The care taker is supposed to somehow see the signals and put the baby over the toilet in the right moment. It should make the baby learn to the potty faster, too. Sheesh, of course it will, with the baby shitting and pissing on himself. Morons. Fortunately my friends are smart people who don't want to burden either baby or the mother with this "way of the cave men".

I finally watched through all my NsyncLand DVD's and find out that one of them was flawed. the burning had somehow gone wrong and there were periods that were skipped, but could be watched when running the sequence *backwards*. I politely wrote to the seller and asked a new one, in which he politely told me that the was nothing wrong in the DVD and the problem was in my DVD player. Now I'm in between "I'm never going to buy from him!" and "Oh well, they are bootlegs, so what the hell I'm complaining about, and it's not like I could get the material from anywhere else." Any thoughts about this?

I was asked to do some art to the local science fiction society's zine. It was a hurry order, pictures for the translated versions for Michael Swanwick's Periodic Table of Science Fiction , so it's not like they could complaint about the quality ;) So I slipped in some inside jokes:

(The pics are kind of huge since they are big resolution original scans, and they look crappy because of the five-times-bigger-than-the-original format.)

Would you buy a used rocket from this man? (JC)

What-the-crap? Those people should be turned over the knee and spanked. Toilet training is all well and good - at the proper time. But this - argh!

Seems like a new conspiracy to tie the mother to the baby 24/7 so she'd be "a good mom". Also, this way the momma can't leave the child to anyone's care. she'd be irreplaceable! Yeah, that's a one way to build selfesteem...

... and promote social welfare and equality *snerk*

Hey, I know! It's undoubtedly all part of a great plot by Bush and his anti-abortion, let's-imprison-women-at-home supporters. Hang'em!

Mind if I add you, by the way?

That would be cool! I'll add you, too.

I know diapers aren't good for a baby's skin (I wore cotton re-usable ones and still got painful rashes all the time) but dude, that trend is just whack. I'm fairly certain parents and caretakers in general have things better to do than spend twenty-four hours a days watching the baby for signs of upcoming pee or poo - and clean up all the places the baby's still bound to mess up.

Sorry to hear about the DVD. The seller sucks for blaming your player for it, but there isn't much you can do. It's not like you can call the authorities and demand back money used on illegal products. :/

And finally, I'd totally buy a used rocket from JC. He has, after all, travelled through galaxies on telepathic roads. :)
