One thing caught my eye: Seen together, the first three films reflect shifts in cultural attitudes toward psychiatry. In each iteration a mental health professional treats the first wave of people who believe that impostors have replaced their loved ones.

Think I have a pretty good excuse though. The last two weeks have been a haze, a wonderful delirium of little sleep, lots of diapers and so much emotion that I've had to numb myself with lengthy videogame sessions.

I'm leaving work at noon to spend some final alone time with MM--a lazy lakeside afternoon then out for dinner. Kind of feels like I'm getting ready to go off to jail. We'll be at the birthing center for two nights following the birth, giving us plenty of time http://capgas.org/korak/2007/07/well-unless-i-can-figure-out-how-to.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (msg)21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440592.post-4650534142706384066Wed, 11 Jul 2007 17:42:00 +00002007-07-11T13:08:39.443-05:00Just got back from the ultrasound/midwife visit. I was running late to meet MM and her mother at the hospital so there I was hauling ass up I-89. Passed a car on the side of the road bookended by cop cars and felt a shock of revulsion at what looked like a legless body sticking out from under a front wheel. Turned out to be spilled groceries.

But as witty and compelling as they may be, few of them might be considered poetry. Not so the case with yesterday's anonymous comment #3 here. This truly is a comment worthy of a close textual analysis. An epic, a prose poem denouncing gods, artificial reproduction, non-whites and homosexuality (I think), it made me consider for a moment that Michel http://capgas.org/korak/2007/07/i-welcome-all-your-comments-really-i-do.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (msg)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440592.post-5052218423595561194Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:42:00 +00002007-07-09T09:48:12.924-05:00I was bummed when I had to go back to work last Monday, having hoped that my paternity leave vacation-that-I-have-to-use-because-this-place-has-no- paternity-leave would have already begun. So I'm even more bummed today. No baby yet. A familiar refrain. Wednesday is the final ultrasound. The ultimatesound.

Seriously, I mean no baby: we saw the midwife yesterday and she examined MM and then told us, with a sheepish look, that there had been a bit of a mix up and in fact it was a TEN POUND WATERMELON growing inside that belly. Of course I immediately berated MM for having swallowed watermelon seeds.

Our baby is not destined to become a war-ravaged cripple/veterans' rights fighter/Tom Cruise OscarŪ pipedream. And despite MM's understandable desire to have the little squatter evicted FORTHWITH AND WITHOUT NOTICE, I'm still set on 777.

Which makes snakerhythms happy as it's his birthday. At this point I think MM would happily name the kid Snake if it came today. Snake Meade. Not bad. And rhymes with Lake Mead.

I'm holding out hope that, given a choice, the kid will opt to be born on Canada Day rather than Independence Day. Or somewhere right between the two would be nice. But the cosmic fates will probably ensure that our child is born on the 4th of July. And won't that be fun? Two opportunities for pranking missed the other day.
