Instead of the time and effort required to write up a real update of what's been going on, I offer this:
How do you eat your pizza: folded, flat or with a fork and knife?
Submitted by danimass.
Totally depends on the pizza. Deep dish usually requires a fork and knife. Cheap-o frozen pizza can be eaten by hand. The extra large slices from downtown vendors must be folded.
We've gotten big into the crispy thin crust pizzas of late. Medium size slices, eaten flat. Too crispy to cut or fold.
Ginger and I hosted a going away party for Nikki and Andrew Friday night. It was the first time post-baby that we've had the courage to invite more than three or four people over at a time. It went well. We had too much food and refrained from having an open bar (it was there, but you had to know where to look), but other than that - we were proud of ourselves.
At our Halloween party two years ago, we had a projector outside hooked up to the Gamecube, so we could play Mario Kart on a 15 foot tall screen. This year, we plugged the Powerbook into our 42" TV via the DVI output (very nice) and had iTunes running for anyone to add to the playlist. The big hit was using our iMac as a photo booth, using the built in Photo Booth app. We got some great pictures, most of which involved Camille in some way.
Cami did great. She was very social and stayed up a bit past her bedtime. I think she had as good a time as anybody.
We're going to miss Nikki, Andrew, Nia and Nate horribly. We've already got a visit planned in December - and whenever we buy UGA season tickets, we'll need a place to crash. With that loss to Kentucky, those tickets just got a little cheaper. At least one positive thing will come out of this season.
What's your favorite radio station, past or present?
Ah, there have been many. Right now, it's KEXP, Seattle.
For this, I just couldn't help myself...
Your results:
You are Superman
You are mild-mannered, good, strong and you love to help others. I know, I'm surprised I wasn't Green Lantern, too.
How many computers do you have in your house?
Submitted by Foomper.
We're down to 3! My iMac, Ginger's Powerbook and her HP laptop for work.
We parted with Ginger's iBook over the weekend, and mom finally has a Mac. Now she just has to get an internet connection.
Cat Power: eMusic Sessions EP [More Info]
I've struggled with a love/hate thing for Cat Power for a long time. The Greatest has really grown on me, and this solo collection of songs is amazing.
This is quickly becoming our favorite play time soundtrack with Camille.
How many pets have you owned in your lifetime? Tell us about them.
Submitted by jennajellopy.vox.com.
When I was little, we went through a series of cats. Toby was gray and white and liked to get on the roof of the house. I don't remember much about the others. They were outside only pets and we didn't really bond.
My sister had cats, a rabbit, a chicken and a pig.
Madison Milhouse (Millie), my basset was my first real pet. Ginger bought her as a graduation present when I was student teaching in Athens. She has separation anxiety, which got worse after we moved to Savannah and multiplied again after we moved to our new house. The vet now thinks she may have dementia, at the ripe old age of 8. We just had a new fence put in so she can spend more time outside, sniffing, digging and being a dog.
When Ginger and I married, I inherited Luca. I honestly do not like the cat. She bites, scratches and draws blood regularly. I've had to clean her litterbox since Ginger has been pregnant due to risk of toxo-whatever. It has not endeared her to me at all.
Let's make a list. What are 20 things in your life that you're grateful for?
Inspired by wyndslash.vox.com.
To make this not so sappy, I'm excluding Camille, Ginger, friends and family. These aren't the 20 most important things and they may or may not be in any type of order.
- Pampers Swaddler Diapers (they're the real deal)
- Our new fence - Millie has never been happier (recently, anyway)
- The window behind my desk
- Texas Hold 'Em on my new iPod
- My skill saw - Used it yesterday for the first time since I built the arcade cabinet
- Dale's marinade
- Newcastle Brown Ale
- Superfriends note cards
- A relatively clean bedroom
- Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood
- Clients paying their invoices on time
- Pacifiers
- Sheldon Moldoff's art
- The promise of a vacation
- Upcoming visitors
- The Onion Radio News
- Baby smiles (okay, I slipped this one in)
- Wifely understanding (sue me)
- Parking meters that take credit cards
- Cooler days ahead
