my (unborn) children's eyes ...

uhm, i have this amazing eye color calculator link bookmarked.

yes, because i'm insane. i don't even have a boyfriend, let alone a husband/man-who-will-give-me-babies. (although i did spend friday afternoon looking at sperm banks online. and then i spent saturday morning crying my eyes out and wondering if i haven't, perhaps, done something horribly wrong with my life ... more on this another day).

but that doesn't mean i'm not obsessed with my unborn children. (and other people's). i'm a baby name freak, as my friends can attest. [go here to have fun looking up your name, your siblings' names, your baby names, your friends' baby names ... unsurprisingly, considering its prevalence amongst the beehived ladies of the far side fame, "sylvia" was at its popularity zenith in 1937, where it was ranked #50. now it is #524, slightly more popular in 2006 than 2005, damn.]

i love the eye color calculator because of the little colored-eyes you get to flip through. it's fun for me to do this with, oh, say, i don't know ... my ex-boyfriends, potential mates, etc.

(maybe by now you've been to the calculator and you're wondering, "what sort of crazy person knows THE GD EYE COLORS OF ALL HER OLD AND 'POTENTIAL' BOYFRIENDS' PARENTS?" uh, maybe you don't know me very well if you're saying this. and maybe there's something wrong with YOU if you don't also know the eye colors of your very-serious-ex-or-current-significant-
other's-parents, have you considered that??)

name your kid wolfgang if it's a boy, since thats basically the most badass name ever, or BERTHA if its a girl, for the same reason.

by the way, i don't think you're supposed to blog like 10 times a day, haha...unless you're weird like that. :)

that's weird: when i was a kid i LOVED the name "wolfgang" because i loved the movie "amadeus" so much. but i can't do wolfgang now because the director of the weird swiss grad school i went to was named that. and he was a german freak with a glass eye and a maniacal laugh. (and kind of mean, so i don't feel bad saying these things).

bertha? hmmm ... please ross, use protection. that's all i'm going to say. J

I am MORE than familiar with all of these sites, thanks to you and our endless hours of suffering boredom in corporate America.

I'm so happy you've taken the blogging plunge! Wheee!
