I am starting to miss working. Listening to my friends talk and complain about their jobs makes me a bit envious. Not that I want to be working some crappy job I hate, but I guess just having that sort of adult interaction and having something else to talk about and worry about than baby stuff. I love being at home with Ryland, I wish it could last forever, but maybe going back to work won&#8217;t be quite as bad as I thought.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m a little nervous about the new Hitchhiker&#8217;s Guide to the Galaxy movie. I want it to be good but it will probably suck. I&#8217;ve only read the book as it was released in the US, so I am not some sort of crazed Galaxy fan, but I loved it very much and I don&#8217;t want stupid Hollywood mucking it up. stupid hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>You know that BBC series called &#8220;The Office&#8221; that was all the rage and then they went ahead and made an American version here? I&#8217;ve been watching the American one and I find it very funny. So I rented the original BBC one to compare, and it was so uncomfortably and hilariously good, better than the American one, I think. (Not to say that I don&#8217;t like the one here, because I do.) That guy who created both shows, Ricky Gervais, is a frigging genius. I feel so awkward and embarrassed watching it, smirking and cringing and laughing. Curb Your Enthusiasm does the same thing to me. I like shows that are physically painful for me to watch.<\/p>\n<p>I have to admit that I am just a stupid American, so I watched the BBC show with the subtitles on. I tried not to, but I got so lost and confused and kept going, &#8220;What the hell did he just say?&#8221; and rewinding it constantly. You Brits have one crazy dialect. I tried to imitate it, but I sounded like such an idiot that even Ryland shook his head in disgust. What can you do. Like I said, I&#8217;m just a stupid American.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the bebe, he got his first tooth! It finally broke free from its gummy restraint last week. It&#8217;s just this teeny tiny pokey little white thing right now. It thrilled me to bits that his first tooth has arrived, but it&#8217;s also a bit depressing. No more toothless grins. No more gummy chomps. No turning back. He&#8217;s growing up, second by second, and I am powerless to stop it. I just want him to stay little forever.<\/p>\n<p>If I had tons of extra money, I&#8217;d go get a manicure and a pedicure and a facial and a leg waxing and a haircut and a massage and some new sandals and some flowers.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if I were super rich I&#8217;d have this crazy garden with lots of cool and crazy statues and stone benches and trees and bushes and I would walk around in it and have parties with my friends and we&#8217;d play games and laugh and it would be just a very cool garden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you don&#8217;t have a real job, weekends don&#8217;t mean much except that you can hang out with your working friends more often.
