More TV
Not only is there a cute new baby to dote upon around here, but football season has started. It's great mindless entertainment, but I've been a little bit worried about its effect on SD's not at all fully developed mind. Most disturbing is the blinking. It's the thing, in fact, that has convinced me that I don't need to watch the Sunday night game as I type this, given that the baby's in here. The blinking is incredibly annoying to me, too, but the kid's presence causes me to look at her a lot (how cute, look at the baby, that sort of thing). I was doing so during a replay or an ad or something when I noticed that she was sitting in front of a 32" strobe light. So basically I'm pissed because we have before us this clean brain, a fantastic, blank slate that's full of nothing but possibility, and we're stroboscopically pumping it full of Coors Lite and Hummer ads. Poor girl.
