Mah 33 week pregnant belly. I’m not looking at my ass in that one on the right, I’m looking at Mickey. Also, it looks like my belly is crooked in that shot in the middle. It may very well be. This kid doesn’t hang out in the the center of my uterus, he or she [...]

Yours truly. 26 weeks pregnant (I am really lettin’ ‘er all hang out in the shot on the right). And one hella crazy ass shirt, right? Psychedelic baby!

In preparation for all this baby business it is occuring to me that there is all kinds of stuff that needs to get done before he/she arrives. I’m not entirely sure why, it’s not like the kid is going to be all that critical coming out of the womb, “Whoa mom, seriously? Old paint job? [...]

Hi there! It’s been awhile, eh? Last Wednesday my hard drive crashed (I’ve been crying about it here and here), and then the Powers That Be sent the wrong recovery discs AND THEN something happened to the part where my AC adapter thingy stopped working so I just said good bye to the UPS guy [...]

Hey! Have you read this book? It’s awesome.* Amazing Gracie (by the guys from Three Dog Bakery) is a wonderful book. Not only does it tenderly illustrate the warm and important friendship between Man and His Dog, it will also take those of you with entrepreneurial tendencies by the shoulders and shake you until you can actually [...]
