Chet & Erik have hefted their lazy, corpulent selves out of their whipit-induced torpor, and have reloaded Old Man Murray for the first time in over a year. It’s almost as if they thought they had outgrown us, or something. Now if they can manage to actually generate new content for it, I will be [...]
If you’ve ever visited a parenting Usenet group, you’ll know that’s Cute Things They Said. Today, Mona brushed her teeth (because brushing your teeth is a fun thing to do, pretty much whenever), and then had some orange juice. She winced. “Orange juice broken, Mommy.” Too damned cute.
Spirited Away recently came out on DVD, and while my joy at this is nearly unbounded, I have to remark on one thing: Jesus, I hate Disney. Just hate them. Their DVDs are incredibly annoying, loaded with ads for other products, poor navigation, and a host of irritating features, like having their logo animation be [...]
This has to be the greatest note ever. A friend of mine recently bought a Mini Cooper S, and loves it. Apparently someone else, does, too. A few days ago, he came out to his car, and there was a note on the windshield. “I love Mini Coopers. I am a lesbian with anal beads. [...]
So Mona has a new job: feeding Izzy her yoghurt. It’s a bit of a task, because while Izzy doesn’t exactly dislike it, she’s not all fired up to eat it, either. She must have several a day, because it’s her main source of protein and fat and calcium, pretty much the only food with [...]
“OK, Mona what do you want me to draw?” “Draw Mommy, and Daddy, and Isabel, and Mona in Belle dress.”
This story at CNN is telling us that those mobile chemical weapons labs? You know, those mobile labs that were so important to us going to war against Saddam? They’re not mobile chemical labs. They’re conventional weapons labs, sure, but they’re not mobile chemical weapons labs. So far, the massive pile of weapons of mass [...]
Soccer practice went surprisingly well. I even scored a goal, and our team was winning when, after 90 minutes, I decided to call it quits, and head home. It was perfect timing, I arrived as Yats was reading stories to the girls for bedtime. I got a couple books in, helped Mona jump on her [...]
Yeah, I’m talking about me. I’ve joined the company soccer team, and boy, six or seven years of not exercising becomes really noticable, really quickly. My first practice, I just horsed around a bit before we seriously got down to playing, and jesus, I was wiped out before five minutes had passed. We just ran [...]
So it’s April 8th, and last night we got about 2 inches of snow. I suppose native New Englanders can regale folks with stories of a blizzard ruining July 4th one year, or something, but really, any rational person should regard two inches of snow on April 8th with extreme dubiousness. It just isn’t right. [...]
