8-O

Posted in Baby stuff, Random random thoughts on December 30th, 2008 by Chris

I’m not going to say that sometimes milk randomly shoots out of…er…them, or anything, but once I ran over and picked up the baby and held her up and just as I planned she yawned just then and caught most of it, and then a guy in a red-striped jacket and a straw hat told me I could have anything off the second row.

God bless us every one (and your little dog too)

Just when the light was starting to get dim and it was just about to officially be Christmas Eve, I walked into the bedroom with the mail.  My girlfriend Sherrill was in bed taking care of the new baby.

I put a brown cardboard box down next to her.  “Open this,” I said.

She looked at it curiously, looked at the label, which was addressed to the three of us.  She looked at the return address.  It clearly wasn’t one she recognized.  She looked up at me, puzzled.

“Pennsylvania?”

“Open this,” I said again.

“Why do you want me to open it?”

“Because,” I said, “If it’s from who I think it’s from, if I opened it I’d probably end up crying.”

How’d they get in there?  Even more important, how’d the cassette deck get in there?

Uh oh…I hope they didn’t think I knew what I was talking about

‘Recycle bin icons plus! moon’.  Really.  I could follow the logic until ‘moon’. 

But I did like the post this search led to.

I wonder if the creepy preacher from the movie was the particular creepy preacher this guy was searching for.

The bright side

Posted in Random random thoughts on December 21st, 2008 by Chris

Today I weighed 186.8 pounds.  This is a bit more than I’d like to weigh, but I don’t feel too bad about it cz I know that all the junk in my head caused by getting over being sick accounts for at least five pounds of that.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Circle of Sun, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

Yeah, I guess you do.  It was pretty complex and esoteric. 

Here’s a resource for you:  dictionary.com

Herr Cruise

Do you think Tom Cruise sat around thinking,

“Everyone in the world hates me.  They think I’m arrogant, they think I’m a religious nut, they think my whole marriage is just for show, and they just think I’m freaky pyscho insane in general.   I mean, thank God for George Bush and Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears…if it weren’t for them, every entertainment show on TV would just be thirty minutes about me.

Chris’s Guide to Babies, Chapter 7: Crying (babies, not mothers)

Posted in Baby stuff on December 2nd, 2008 by Chris

Here is a handy guide to crying based on my first-hand experience with my baby, Annalise, who is sixteen days old as of this writing.  I assume all other babies are exactly the same.  If other babies behave differently, you should encourage them to follow my daughter’s example, because they are clearly doing it incorrectly.

Having said that, there are three degrees of crying for a newborn baby.
