This post was inspired by Penny, who was in turn inspired by some random blogger. Apparently there are rules and regulations for answering these questions, but whatever. I’m a rebel. Anyway, here we go.
Outside my window… the Mystic River.
I am thinking… of all the work I have to do today.
I am thankful for… my baby boy.

My weekend, by the numbers

Ten minutes arguing with Penny about cat urine. (Don’t ask.)
Nine issues of New Avengers read, bagged, and boarded.
Eight innings of baseball watched.
Seven really cute pictures of Ethan taken with my cell phone camera.
Six failed attempts at downloading those pictures. (F**king Verizon!)
Five episodes of Doctor Who watched. (Including this awesome one.)
Four miles walked in the woods at [...]

Three Super Bowls, two World Series, and now an NBA championship.
WOW.
Hulk is smashing good

I have seen the Incredible Hulk, and it is good. Very good. Better even than the generally positive reviews are giving it credit for.
This Hulk recalls the very best parts of the TV series—Banner as a lonely exile on the run and looking for a cure—with bigger set pieces, better acting, and a firm place in the growing [...]

I awoke this morning to find my cat’s rear end planted firmly in front of my face (we call this the anal salute), and the first thing Ethan said to me was “mama,” but after that things went great.
Penny made blueberry pancakes (delicious) and later took Ethan grocery shopping so I could lay around and do nothing for an [...]

Wow, is there anyone in Hollywood on a worse losing streak than M. Night Shyamalan? I was hoping The Happening would turn things around for him. Apparently not.
Reason # 6,871 why I hate Kobe Bryant
Posted in Celtics, tagged kobe bryant, los angeles lakers, nba finals on June 13, 2008 | No Comments »
Kobe Bryant’s post-game comments after the Lakers historic collapse at the hands of the Celtics last night.
“A lot of wine, a lot of beer, a couple shots, maybe like 20 of them, digest it, get back to work,” Kobe Bryant said when asked how the Lakers could possibly bounce back.
Got that, kids? When the going [...]
Ethan-to-English dictionary (updated!)
Posted in Parenthood on June 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »
It’s pretty cool to see Ethan developing language skills and a vocabulary. He’s only 15 months old and already he knows a bunch of words. He still needs a translator for those who don’t spend hours a day with him, though. So here to help is the official Ethan-to-English dictionary. Study up!
Baa Baa - Whenever Ethan sees a sheep [...]
