Erin and Rainier got a fetal doppler baby heart monitor to listen to the baby’s heartbeat.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Baguette!

Perhaps it’s because of my excitement surrounding this particular child, but the sound of a heartbeat in the womb is so unusual, and such beautiful music.  I feel like it begs to be incorporated into a song or the soundtrack of a film.  When I play the file, I can hardly focus on anything but listening to the pulse; it’s so consuming.

Did you guys know that Emily Swanagin, currently a senior in creative writing at ASFA, recently won a Norman Mailer writing award for nonfiction?  Toni Morrison, Annie Leibovitz.  No big deal.  Congrats, Emily.  Looking forward to that senior reading…

Coldplay’s video for “Strawberry Swing,” a great stop-motion piece created using chalk.

I have internet in my apartment!  It’s a miracle.  Now I can stop lugging my laptop around with me everywhere I go just in case there’s some wifi and I can do research, check email, or submit assignments.  After a housing nightmare, legal action, and moving, it took almost two weeks to do a simple residence transfer for our internet service, primarily because AT&T is run by morons.  Because no one there talks to each other and the skill levels of their service representatives vary greatly, I ended up with three separate account numbers, none of which were receiving internet service, and it took six phone calls of 30+ minutes just to get things working.  Now that it’s working I have to wait to receive all kinds of weird bill corrections through the mail before I can apply for a confirmation number to request closing the additional accounts that they created for me instead of issuing a transfer.  Lesson learned: don’t ever try to do anything complicated.  Shouldn’t things get more complicated for the company, and not for the customer, when their representatives make errors?

Anyway, it’s good to be back.  Maybe it’s nice to make the internet seem like a novelty every once and a while.
