Day 202: dvRRRRRR!!

September 1, 2009 / / 0 Comments

I’ve spent most of tonight trying to fix our DVR, which started to record things without sound a few weeks ago.

So far, I haven’t had too much luck.  The fixes are getting slightly more and more harsh, and I fear that I am just about to reach the line where I wipe the machine and start over, losing those precious Gossip Girl recordings that I haven’t quite caught up on.

Also, I played a demo of the game AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity today and I loved it.  Yes, that’s the actual title.

Lastly, Katie and I just bought one of those little USB video camera things so we can catch every adorable baby moment as it happens and get it up on Youtube faster than two shakes of a walrus’s tail.

It looks like this:

OK, time to go see how the DVR OS reinstall is going.

And perhaps indulge in a fudge bar.

Fudge bars can make any unproductive night satisfying.

Day 201: nothing nearly as exciting

August 31, 2009 / / 0 Comments

There’s really no way I can follow up yesterday’s post with anything nearly as exciting.  We’ve known about the baby for a few months now and have kept it a secret from most people outside of our immediate families.

Either way, we’ve been anxious to share the news and are certainly happy that so many of you are as excited as we are.  Katie’s also relatively happy to be out of the first trimester, as the morning sickness is supposed to abate.

We just got back tonight from a trip up to Portland.  We managed to stop by Ashland on the way back and catch Equivocation at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival last night.  I also got to spend a bit of time today at Funagain Games, a internet board game retailer with a storefront in Ashland and Katie and I wandered through their warehouse for a quarter of an hour.

Also, I feel like I’ve been eating for three straight days.  Multiple times over the past few days I’ve felt like I’ve been too full to ever eat again.  It was, in all, a fantastic trip.

The next big projects: fixing the DVR, getting new tires on the car, and beating Batman.

Day 200: oh baby

August 30, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Katie and I are taking a nine month trip to Babytown.

We’re going to catch the bus at the impregnation station.

Katie can now drive in the carpool lane by herself and (maybe) get away with it.

Something something something BABY!

Now, to answer all of your initial baby questions, in order:

  1. It’s due on March 5, 2010.
  2. We don’t know if it’s a boy or girl
  3. We’re not sure if we’re going to find out ahead of time
  4. We haven’t picked a name yet, but we have a few on our short list
  5. Yes, we’ll force it to learn math, the violin, and how to make a salad from jello.

Now, you know! Spread the news! Jump for joy! Buy us baby stuff!
In return, I’ll continue to update about Katie’s vomit counts and attempt to take pictures of her belly when she isn’t watching!

Or, you know, continue to write about video games.

Day 199: wedded

August 29, 2009 / / 1 Comment

Katie and I went to a wedding today.

I like weddings. Everyone looks great and everyone goes home happy (and, possibly, a little frisky).

It was one of Katie’s high school friends, who looked beautiful, and the wedding was outdoors and relatively short. The reception was a brunch and there were many entertaining toasts.

It was also a chance for Katie to catch up with some other high school friends who she hadn’t seen in a while, while we awkward male partners supported their conversation as much as we were able.

Most of all, though, the bride and groom were beaming throughout the morning and through brunch. Weddings are like Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: it’s love, idealized. It’s a perfect day, the perfect moment between two people that can never be taken away, regardless of future divorces or poisons or potions that make you appear dead.

It’s been a good, if tiring day.
