Happy Thanksgiving

Note: Look at this draft I started around Thanksgiving that I saved but never published. I am such a committed writer.

Without question, the best holiday of the year is Thanksgiving. And today, Lenny ate her first "solid" food, some rice cereal mixed with Mommy's milk.

There's a video associated with this, but apparently we haven't uploaded it to the computer yet, so that's coming later.

Playing with Claire and Uncle Zack

I couldn't upload this to YouTube, so apologies for the crappy Blogger embed. There's a 2nd video (my battery died at the end of this one) that is too large to upload now, but will be up soon.

No time, just vids

I'll try to slink back into this with no one noticing

Little Baldo is getting so big.



I miss holding her so much.

I don't care what your opinion is

This is hands-down Michael Jackson's best song.

Do you dare disagree?

Added: Wow, I was just looking at some Jackson stuff, and something that absolutely blows my mind is that since 1979 he only released 6 albums: Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, HIStory, and Invincible. I remember owning Dangerous (I can't believe that came out 18 years ago Jeebus kill me now I am so old), and that was when people were already starting to say, "Hey, what's the deal with Michael Jackson, so those who were born very close to 1982, the year I was born, are really the last people who could possibly recall a time when Jackson was not "weird" - maybe "eccentric" by that time, or perhaps "odd," but probably not "weird." Thriller must have been huge.

Double Bonus Addition: I now recall how on Thursday nights in high school when our football team would all eat dinner together that every damn week our quarterback, whose sense of humor was horrible other than this particular action, would play "Childhood" on the jukebox and act like it was pumping him up. What a lunatic.

Too Soon? Edit: I heard that Michael Jackson was going to be cremated and have his ashes spread in sandboxes so that children can still play with him.

My favorite Jackson joke and it's sooooooooo wrong edit: What's the difference between Michael Jackson and Neil Armstrong? Well, Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon, but Michael Jackson likes having sex with little boys.

Stretching out

So much I want to write

But I am just so friggin' tired, I can barely move my fingers. I don't know how Ariane is doing it. Must be some kind of mommy super power.

Maybe I'll get to it tonight or so, but until then just another video that I (and my impossibly slow upload speed) have already uploaded to Kindertube.

Kindertuben, revisited

Can you watch this? Please answer in the comments if not.



This is Ariane literally 5 minutes after pushing Lenny out. I'd say she's looking pretty good, no?

Update: Melissa informs me that, yes, you can view this. Thank god Youtube is idiot-proof.

Kindertuben

This week I am going to try to figure out how to use our camcorder. (Is that term antequated already? I feel so old when I try to talk about technology. Also, I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro.) Then I'll be launching Kindertuben. I will embed videos here, provided I can embed with the privacy settings I want on YouTube or whatever video sharing site I choose to use (hint: probably YouTube).

I'm done with my manuscripts now, so I can get back to writing here... if only something interesting would happen.

Two weeks to Armageddon.

In unrelated news, the baseball regular season is over :( but Texas won the Big XII (I insist on Roman numerals) regular season title :) It looks like we only made it to 20 games this year, 19 at home, 1 at Waco. Texas will host a regional and (knock on wood) super-regional in all likelihood. When are regionals scheduled for? Last couple days of May/first couple days of June. Needless to say, we will not be making those games.
