Below is a video of Ava watching a video of Ava watching video of Ava. And she’s watching that video on a 19.5″ LCD TV I had lying around. I took two wire hangers and, after elongating them and trimming off the hooks, covered them with duct tape and slipped one over each end of [...]

He got Leah’s good looks, but by God, he got my smarts! Emmett likes to wear a trash can on his head and stumble around the house blind. (Cameo by the lovely AGP, too; what’s not to love?) Please enjoy this video responsibly.

Climber

I was home with Emmett the other day when he decided to scale one of the dining room chairs and proceed on up to the tabletop. We may have mentioned that ECP is much more of an explorer than Ava ever was. It’s exhausting to try to keep up with him, but it’s also wonderful [...]

There has been a request to post this video here so it’s viewable by a wider audience. Let it never be said I’m not responsive to my public.

ECP’s first steps

Let’s face it: The kid owes me something for my having stayed home with him all this week while he gets over his feverish coughing sickness.

Vote Sharlto
February 2nd, 2010 · View Comments
If you haven't seen District 9 (I liked it better than The Hurt Locker), you're missing out on one of the best acting performances of the last couple years. The lead, Sharlto Copley, provides an incredibly plausible and forceful portrayal of a man turning into an insectoid alien. If there's an emotion he doesn't convey [...]

Man, I feel like a woman

Leah pointed out upon viewing this video in camera last night that I sound like her in it. Oh well. It is what it is. And now, for your viewing pleasure:

Free skate, everybody skates

Today we took Ava out for her first ice skating adventure. I was astounded by how well she did. This is toward the end of our outing, when she circled the rink twice with almost no help from me at all.

This video is fresh out of the camera today. I hope Emmett isn’t one of those kids who walks before he crawls. I hear they have all kinds of problems as a result.

Snow daze

Fresh snow trumps freezing temps. Either that, or Ava has some undiagnosed nerve damage that makes it impossible for her to feel cold. Oh well. So long as she’s having fun….

Make popcorn. This is how we always used to make popcorn when I was little, before air poppers and microwaveable bags. Ava and I popped some yesterday and then tucked in to watch Willy Wonka (Wilder Willy Wonka, not Depp Willy Wonka). Actually, Leah and Ava tucked in to watch the movie while I walked [...]

Vado, Mino. Vado, Mino. And the winner is….
May 1st, 2009 · View Comments
The Creative Labs Vado HD. Leah and I have been cogitating on this purchase for a while, but seeing Danny’s Mino last weekend brought us closer to action (well, that and all the contractions Leah’s been having recently). If you’re wondering, the better (IMO) specs of the Vado weren’t the only things pushing me in [...]

And to frustrate me. FACT: Anybody who knows anything about anything knows that The Jerk is the best movie Steve Martin has ever done. Second place? PT&A. The only reason anyone would EVER put The Jerk at #9 on a list of Steve’s 10 Best Films is to generate controversy, thus conversation, thus Web traffic. [...]

Forget the overpriced tickets, the expensive snacks, the lines, and the whole “going outside” thing. Here’s the best reason to avoid the movie theater. (Don’t pretend you don’t have a second of empathy for the shooter.) Well, 29-year-old James Joseph Cialella Jr went to see David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at the [...]
