Book Review: Where's Elmo?

By Marcos -
"Where's Elmo? A Peek-A-Boo Book" (softcover, 8 pgs) is a fun filled romp through Elmo's alternative lifestyle. The Father read me this book the other night and was I captivated? Yes. Yes I was. The books colorful pages, soft texture, and interactivity immediately intrigued me. The plot however, was definately lacking. "Where's Elmo?" I am not interested in the where he is. And when you look deeper, the book gets creepy. "Where's Elmo?" Where isn't he? He's under the table eyeing Cookie Monster's thighs. He's in the park ominously watching Bert and Grover. He's even in Ernie's bathroom, watching Ernie bathe from behind a towel. Its disgusting.

Now, I did appreciate the crinkly parts of the book, and some of the better tasting corners, but all in all I give this book a thumbs down for general eeriness.

So I just moved into my new office. Apparently the previous employee still works here. He keeps coming by when I'm trying to get my work done, messing with my stuff, pressing all my buttons, etc. It's fairly annoying.

Sometimes I grunt

By Marcos -
and every time I do, everyone around me tries to describe what I'm thinking. You know, "he's happy" or "he's making noises and that's fun for him" or "he's pooping" or whatever. But they're wrong. Wanna know what I'm thinking? Sometimes, yea, I'm pooping. Sometimes I'm contemplating "should I poop?" or "should I poop now?" Sometimes I just did poop and I'm kinda mashing it in good, to make it harder to remove. And sometimes I'm pooping. Oh I said that already. Anyhoo.

Little Twit

So the little brother informs me that he will no longer be posting on this blog.  He says that blogs are so 2007 and he is embracing 2009 in all its glory.  Whatever.  He says that means he going to be posting on Twitter.  Its all the rage with the tweens.  Apparently its like a blog but you can't write as much.  Only like 2 sentences at a time.  I would never survive.    Anyhoo.   I did notice an increase in my advertising revenue when he came on board, so I'll be keeping his posts (apparently they're called tweets) in the sidebar to the right.   Oh, and I found this video that explains twitter for you losers who care to watch.  This is the future?  Great I get to hear about every stinkin' diaper from now on.
