Alright, that's it! I can't take it anymore. Get me outta here!

THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERBOY

We watched Superman the other night, and since then Alex has been flying around the apartment. April even made him a big "S" to wear on his chest when airborne.

Videochat Karaoke - Zooey Deschanel, Yesterday Once More

Life Is A Mountain...

And sometimes the climb is a little hard! Here is a picture from yesterday: You know how I like to take unflattering photos! This caption would say: "I think I'm going to make it!"

One day before school started I found out that my three-week ear infection that was excruciatingly painful and caused me to lose the ability to hear in my left ear was, in fact, mastoiditis. I told the fantastic ENT who got to the bottom of the nightmare as he brought in the CT scans with a diagnosis: "This sounds major." He nodded. Fortunately, after a bone-specific antibiotic and surgery to drain the middle ear and insert a ventilating tube two weeks ago I feel I have a good chance of recovery. Still need to be monitored, though. Very scary stuff and it made me acutely aware of how connected hearing and sound conduction is to communication and feeling comfortable with others and yourself. This week will be the quarter mark of the semester and Thank God, I have made it through so far. Three criminal justice classes which I love and one in humanities.

I've been re-training my ear with none other than The Carpenters (Karen Carpenter has such a beautiful voice) so wanted to share the "adorkable" Zooey Deschanel version of "Yesterday Once More."

Also I discovered a song that some of you might enjoy, so here goes:
