Babies

First, Jerry sent an e-mail at work. Then I saw a post about it on Swimming in Champaign. Then a friend sent me a link as well. Within the space of a few hours, I'd heard from three separate sources that Garner would soon be off the market once more, and that there would soon be a little Affleck in this world. It had been a long day after a short week of long days leading up to a long weekend, and as I thanked the cleaning lady for emptying my garbage pail, I realized it was time to go.

Driving away as the sun was setting, I noticed movement in the grass and slowed down. The last few nights I've been seeing baby bunnies around the grounds. Sure enough, there was a little guy(or gal) about the size of my hand sitting next to a stop sign looking around wide-eyed as he nibbled the grass. As I pulled out of the parking lot, I saw something running along the fence that at first looked like a squirrel but then I saw was another baby rabbit. I definitely have to drive carefully the next few weeks around there.

Apparently, tonight was the season finale of Hit Me Baby 1 More Time. I can't be sure, but annoying host Vernon Kay certainly mentioned the fact EVERY TIME HE SPOKE. Ugh. I won't miss that guy. PM Dawn won, somewhat deservedly, though I unfortunately had changed the channel at one point and missed the “what they're doing now” segment. Did they explain why the one brother had to be carried out and sat in a chair at all? I couldn't find anything online about him being sick but their charity was for juvenile diabetes, so I was wondering if he was living with that. Does anyone know?

Finally, the last babies in tonight's post are Marvel Babies. Apparently they've realized their core audience is a small group of overweight 30-40 year old males who grew up with the comics, and they need to draw in younger readers by starting small--very small. Brilliantly evil or commercially brilliant?
