Animated love

I have very little time this morning because one beast is rotting his brain on television and the other is letting off annoyed little fake coughs from the bedroom. But I just have to say that I am in love. With my man? Well, yes. But more importantly this morning to Sporticus. If you have a child and a TV and you do bad stuff like me then you may have seen a kid's show called Lazytown on Nick. Well, Sporticus is the hero of the show, a semi-niave, hunky Danish gymnast who lives in a blimp and encourages all the children to play basketball and eat brocolli. I love him. I do.

On a side note, big props to Roger of the 101 Dalmations fame. We've been reading and rereading one of the books and at the end, when Roger has not only Pongo and Perdita home for Christmas, but also 99 puppies and the question is posed, "Whatever shall we do with all these puppies?" Does Roger mention adoption or the pound or a bag full of heavy rocks down to the river? No. He steps up and says, "We'll go buy a big place in the country and we'll all move there. We'll have a Dalmation plantation!"

What a man. Really.
