Vincent the Peaceful Assassin: baiiiiieeee
http://vipass.blogspot.com/2015/02/baiiiiieeee.html
Sunday, February 15, 2015. Omar has the most earnest byes. Whenever we FaceTime with my mom or with Ikram, his favorite part is giving the screen a kiss, saying Bye! And hanging up the phone. Whenever he hears a tram pass in front of the house, he rushes to the balcony and calls out Bye! Whenever I let him watch Teletubbies or his ABC video, he never fails to say Bye! It's really the best thing ever- his earnestness. Anyway, it's late. To quote Omar, Baiiieeeee! Says, Only Kye. Stuff we wrote awhile back.

Vincent the Peaceful Assassin: An aging dog learning an overdue trick
http://vipass.blogspot.com/2015/01/an-aging-dog-learning-overdue-trick.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2015. An aging dog learning an overdue trick. Since I was pregnant, Ikram has been showing me videos of babies swimming and we have both gotten excited over the idea of having a little dolphin child who could transition from land to water seamlessly. The cute little tigger swimsuits! All the underwater pictures and videos we could take! Also, we have been told it is a potentially life saving skill. Ah, the naivety of new parents. Needless to say, I never skied again. But perhaps, I...

Vincent the Peaceful Assassin: my son threw both my toothbrushes into the toilet bowl (that had his poop in it)
http://vipass.blogspot.com/2015/01/my-son-threw-both-my-toothbrushes-into.html
Saturday, January 17, 2015. My son threw both my toothbrushes into the toilet bowl (that had his poop in it). No amount of hot water could get rid of that, so I threw them away. Now I have no toothbrush. The first thing I did was grab his wrist and ask him, "WHY? He gave me a look that sort of said "Duh. To see what would happen." (So, maybe he will be a scientist.). He took his nap for two hours without fuss, then went to bed around 8pm again, without fuss. I don't find it a very useful exercise to eval...

Vincent the Peaceful Assassin: death of an iphone
http://vipass.blogspot.com/2015/05/death-of-iphone.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Death of an iphone. Sure enough he had somehow grabbed my phone from the table and threw into the toilet bowl. Luckily, I remembered to flush right after he did his business. Haha But he was lucky because he took the necessary steps to dry. I, in my callous haste, turned off the phone, wiped it with tissues then handed it over to people I thought knew better and said "Omar dropped my phone in the toilet bowl, can you dry it?

Vincent the Peaceful Assassin: the reverse rant
http://vipass.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-reverse-rant.html
Friday, August 14, 2015. I had a particularly trying morning yesterday, following a trying evening the day before and I was determined to vent out and complain about my burgeoning two year old. You know the acronym terrible twos is a cliche now, but boy living it in the flesh is like.* pulls hair out*. But really is he so terrible? So I guess I should really be thankful at having such a forgiving little boy? When will he ever be so kind towards my meanness again? It is all so earnest and wonderful. I lov...

Vincent the Peaceful Assassin: Why I love Betty
http://vipass.blogspot.com/2015/05/why-i-love-betty.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Why I love Betty. I had a post a few years ago that I called Why I hate Don Draper, and it was a rant about cheating people, mostly men. As an update and homage to his former better half Betty Francis nee Draper, I thought I would write about why I think she is a great character even though half the time she does not seem like a good person. She is not a sweet or kind mother. She is as some fans complain, "cold and childish". Her incessant cigarette smoking, for one. Most of the ...

Vincent the Peaceful Assassin: my passive aggressive rant
http://vipass.blogspot.com/2015/02/my-passive-aggressive-rant.html
Saturday, February 21, 2015. My passive aggressive rant. I'm actually still furious about what happened although I'm meant to accept that there's nothing to be furious about. Omar has a diaper rash now, the second time since he was born. First time was from antibiotics-induced diarrhea. But really it's my fault. I should know better than to trust anyone but myself (and maybe my mom) to do the right thing and put Omar first instead of others. Says, Only Kye. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Vincent the Peaceful Assassin
http://vipass.blogspot.com/2015/05/miscellaneous-reflections-and-thoughts.html
Sunday, May 03, 2015. Miscellaneous reflections and thoughts:. I cannot stomach full bodied caffeinated coffee anymore. One weak decaf flat white please! Yes, that's right. I want a bit of coffee in my sugared milk. I am not ashamed. In order to teach him right from wrong. May Allah grant me patience and guidance in helping my boy grow up well. I really really want to go back to being pescatarian. But. roast chicken. And any kind of lamb. Sigh. And you're like, Wow! I am really curious to find out how Om...
