I knew my household was a soap opera...

... but I didn't expect grand opera! The kids are singing at one another. Sounds a little like an argument, but they're giggling, too.

I don't want to know

Did I mention that my household is, um, odd?

My order from The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Socitey, consisting of their new DVD adaptation of The Call of Cthulhu (as a black-and-white silent movie with orchestral soundtrack) and a t-shirt that says "What part of phnglui mglw'nafl Cthulhu r'lyeh w'gah nagl fhtagn don't you understand?", arrived Friday. Haven't had a chance to watch the DVD yet; maybe tonight. Had to fight the chaoswolf for the shirt, and ended up promising her one for the holidays.

Went to Fry's today and bought a power squid (ThinkGeek, at the link, has them for $15; Fry's has them for $10.). I scared off the chaoswolf by telling her that I was planning to buy another one and call it "Pirate Bill" -- she ran. This trick didn't work on the Younger Daughter, though -- she grabbed it and carried it off to her lair cave room.
