Troll Wang
Originally uploaded by MikeOliveri.
I came home from lunch to find the Squirt had been given a Thanksgiving-themed Troll doll at library day today. Two seconds later, I picked it up and went rummaging through the kitchen cabinets.
“What’re you doing?” the Wife asked. She had that exasperated tone that suggested she was also rolling her [...]

Sometimes Too Creative
The Perils of Fatherhood
The Wife handed me a nice, big chunk of my ass again today.
Yes, again. I have a bad habit of forgetting what the rugrats should and shouldn’t be watching, and I have yet to live down a two-week streak of nightmares the Midget had when he was two. Nightmares caused by a viewing of the [...]
The Fine Line Between Reality and WTF!?
When I dream, I dream weird. There have been many times I woke up and spent a good minute reintroducing myself to reality or reassuring myself that the events of the dream didn’t really happen.
I had three of those this week. The first dealt with work, and the crux of it wasn’t hard to figure [...]
Gimme a Theme Song (or Three)
Driving home at 3am last night, it occurred to me that I need a theme song (which you’d already know if you follow my Twitter feed). In fact, everyone should have one.

“Shoot ‘Em Up,” I told her.
“Right, but which movie?”
You can easily see [...]
“Click! Take a pic!”
The Canon EOS 450D (aka Digital Rebel XSi) has been formally announced, and it shall be mine. (Provided it doesn’t come with Rosie Perez’s voice.*)
I’ve been wanting a digital SLR for a long time. I’ve used an old 35mm camera in the past, and I really enjoyed it compared to using a point-and-shoot digital. Looking [...]
Rockin’ Pneumonia
Until this week, I thought only old guys got pneumonia. They go to the hospital, get cut on a bit, then develop pneumonia while their frail, whithered bodies are trying to recover.
Then I got it myself at the buffet line.
I was supposed to eat at a steakhouse Saturday night, so I opted for a lunch [...]
