  • Yup, exactly. It just seems like there’s no time to relax when you have kids, you always have to be “on”.

    I used to take a bus home from work, and a woman that lived in my apartment took the same bus, so we always ended up walking into the building together. I’ll never forget that EVERY time when she opened her apartment door, you could hear two little kids yell “MOMMY!” the second that door was opened. Maybe some people love that, but to me it always filled me with a sense of dread and exhaustion. Here was this woman who just spent a full day at work and now she has to come home and essentially start her second job of being with her kids, who of course want all her attention. I felt horrible for her, and it wasn’t like she was skipping home all happy to see them, either.








  • I’m a huge Transformers nerd, grew up with the G1 cartoons and comics, have read all the IDW series comics, own several action figures, etc etc (but hate the Bayverse movies), so this is hard to pick just 2, because I like so many of the characters for different reasons, but:

    Autobots - Ratchet. The older I get, the more I identify with him.

    Decepticons - Ravage. He was my favorite when I was a kid because he was a Transformer AND a cat, which was just the coolest thing ever to me. I still have a G1 Ravage figure that turns into a cassette tape.
