My Daughter, Gozer the Destroyer

After our daughter was born we had many of the typical conversations with others about who she looks most like.  Typically the options were my wife or I.  But one person, my brother, cut through the social norms and told us how it was; we had brought to life Russell from Up.




But she grew and changed as babies do, and she stopped looking so much like the helpful little 3D pixar boyscout.  No, now our daughter more closely resembles Gozer the Destroyer.  




Yes, my daughter is an angry Stay Puf't Marshmallow Man.  I've never been more proud.

(Just so that I ever have a hope of my daughter talking to me when she's 15 years old and her friends find this on the internet (ha, like the internet will still exist in 15 years!), here's a cute picture of her:)

INTJ

Several months ago a friend sent me this quiz, a simplified Myers-Briggs personality test.  As you may have inferred from my blog, I am a sucker for a web based answer to my near Quixotic quest for self understanding.

For those keeping score at home of my personality quiz results, I'm Charlotte from Sex in the City, Ralph in Simpsons, and the gay guy in The Village People.  So, according to Myers and Briggs, I'm an INTJ.  This personality is alternately described at "The Mastermind," "The Scientist" and "The Know-It-All Asshole."

Thus, I have decided to abandon my chosen career (and my burgeoning blogging stardom) to become an evil mastermind scientist.  I think the asshole is kind of implied by that.

But wait, I guess I could be a good mastermind scientist, or at least a morally neutral mastermind scientist, but then I wouldn't have as good an excuse for my three favorite pastimes:

1) Dressing in all black
2) Laughing maniacally
3) Building doomsday devices in the basement

Yes, I think the internet has finally delivered something useful to me, instead of the usual... well, porn.

No, wait, just did a google search for "evil mastermind scientist" and 98% of the results were porn.  And one treatise on the evil scientific method.  Nope, wait, it's mainly porn too.
