Random Musings
Figured I’d slap a post up here while the boys are winding down in their bouncy seats.
1. Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is as awesome as I hoped, though it’s not without its flaws (loading times on a DS game?). The real challenge will be to do something productive this weekend instead of playing constantly. I also [...]
10,800,000
Or approximately how many seconds the boys have been alive as of 9:32/34 this morning. That’s four months and two days. Adam yelled at me for not updating on the boys in a while, but it’s been a rough week, and I was a little strapped for time.
First some fun milestones:
1) Andy has rolled over, [...]
Pay to Play, or How to Buy an Album for $75,000
This may be the coolest thing yet. Go read it and come back. (You can scroll past all the paragraphs and just look at the “menu” if you’re lazy. And I know you are.)
(If you’re lazy and lost, Josh Freese has drummed for Nine Inch Nails, is in A Perfect Circle, is a studio drummer [...]
Northwest Trek
A few weeks back, I snuck out of the house on a Saturday for a photostroll with the Seattle Flickr Meetup group at Northwest Trek south of Puyallup. It was freezing (literally) but a really fun time. I can’t wait to go back in warmer weather, and with the boys when they get bigger. (=
Yesterday, in the Lyon House
Except there were two. And they don’t have British accents….yet. Thank goodness for baby crack, oops I mean, teething tablets.
eta: Adam informs me that Stewie, in fact, does not have a British accent. Whatevs. Teething still sucks.
Instrumental
I now own 7 plastic video game guitars and two plastic video game drum sets. And I’m not ashamed to admit it.
Snapshot, 4:31 PM
Will is finally happy in the new exersaucer. Up until today, his legs have not been long enough to touch the bottom, nor is he round enough to fill up the seat. Although neither of those things has changed, another mom clued me into draping his arms over the front. It worked very well, and [...]
Freestyle Frisbee Stars
A couple weeks ago, the planets aligned in my favor… it was sunny outside, I had the day off from work and the babies weren’t being too demanding, so I actually got outside to take some photos. I eventually ended up at the Kirkland Waterfront Park and took a bunch of photos of three guys busting out their freestyle frisbee moves.
Later, I got a comment on one of the [...]
Adam’s Top Concerts of 2008, Part 2
Without further ado…
Best Concert of 2008: Nine Inch Nails
If you saw this tour, you know what I’m talking about. There simply has never been a concert like this. Trent and company have broken ground on some seriously cool concert technology. Multiple interactive, moving, stage-covering screens, real-time rendered video effects, amazing lights and visuals… add fantastic music, sound and [...]
Snapshot, 1:33 AM — It’s Snowing Again
The boys are winding down in their bouncy seats after their middle of the night feeding. We’re listening to Genesis quietly (through the PS3 media server connected to my desktop). I fed them a little later than usual, but only by a bit. Anytime between 12:15 and 1AM is normal.
They’re being pretty vocal right now, [...]
