things to do today

[magicicada]

• complete mini temp assignment - at home. this one's a phone/computer job.
  
• get sylvia a sippy cup. my impromptu dixie cup experiment went well. we may skip the bottle stage entirely. i'm going to see if i can find a translucent blue cup as sylvia is utterly and completely fascinated by h_postmortemus's ice glass.
  
• hunt down job(s)
  
• amuse sylvia - all day long
  
• watch sylvia like a hawk to see if the mysterious blue spots change in any way.
  
• continue the planning for sylvia's big move into her own room. who am i kidding, she'll still sleep in our bed a lot, but at least we might get a bit more sleep in the morning while she does her groove thing in the mobile.
  
• plot (evil cackling optional) sheepshead, etc.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to respond to your TUGA mail about sheepshead. I grew up in Milwaukee, so naturally, I play it. Though I've never heard of a version with clubs as trump; it's always been diamonds, jacks, and queens for me (which is consitent with the games.yahoo.com rules, as well). Except for those two Bavarian guys I played schafskopf with, whose version had the picker calling the suit that would be trump. That was weird, though, presumably, the most authentic version.

Isn't Sylvia a little young for Sheepshead?
