From The Mouths of Babes: Stream of Consciousness Edition
(I'll give you a real post, too. I don't want to leave you with that sour Blogger taste in your mouth.)Sofia has been talking up a storm lately. She will lay in her bed after lights our and just babble to herself for an hour. Her favorite subjects are: 1) the cat bus from My Neighbor Totoro, 2) the alphabet, 3) the last thing you said. Witness this exchange we had during dinner tonight:
"How is your pasta?"
"Pasta. Pasta. Yep! ...B, C, D...B, C, D...cat bus. Cat bus. Yes! B, C, D...O, B, C, D...O...B, C, D..."
"It's A, B, C, D. Can you say A?"
"A...A, B, C, D...F...F, E, C, D!"
"Do you want some more orange?"
"Oange. More oange."
"There you go. There's some orange."
"Oange! Oange. Pasta! Pasta! Yay! Hooray!"
She tries my patience on a semi-daily basis, but man, is she a lot of fun.
Broken Archives (or: The New Blogger Sucks)
Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of posting lately. Nicole has been out of town for the past week, and I've been out of my mind trying to get my work done and take care of the child. (Single parents, I don't know how you do it.)I wanted to let you know that the blog archives on Fishsuit are going to be broken for an indeterminate amount of time. The old archives will still work, but new posts won't be archived.
<rant>
Blogger decided that a great feature of their new version would be to break the archiving that has been around for the past six years. I'm not sure when I'm going to get around to fixing the problem - in all honesty, it will likely be a few months. When I do, I will probably be getting rid of Blogger altogether. I don't particularly want to, but if I am going to have to completely redo my templates, then I might as well do it right and switch to a real publishing platform that gives me better features. (Blogger, how is it that you are now part of Google and you still don't have decent search?) Blogger's complete lack of customer support is also kind of a pain in the butt. Sorry, Blogger - I stuck with you for a long time, but you finally lost me.
</rant>
Sorry for the whining. I apologize for the inconvenience. I will try to get things fixed as soon as I possibly can. Until I do, I will be lengthening the main page so that posts won't get lost. Thanks for your patience. And if anyone has any advice on good WordPress hosts, please let me know.
