tweet feed

Friday, February 12, 2010

Exhibit A: “Bassie told me that yesterday she “hiboughed”. She explained that it’s when you hiccup, burp, and cough at the [...]

a nice afternoon with dina*

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Highlights included: * Dina asking why you need to have a turn signal in the back of your car. “That’s a good question, Dina.” “Yeah…I’m a good question maker.” * Open house at ballet class: look at that form, that concentration, that girl behind her who’s clearly got her arms in the wrong position. *This [...]

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

My awesome brother and sister-in-law got us 4 movie tickets for Hannukah. How to use them? Here are our family friendly options, along with my “worth the price of popcorn”, “netflix instant queue”, or “watch it at your friend’s house, kids” ratings. Tooth Fairy: proof that Dwayne Johnson will never give up a chance to [...]

the rule of threes

Tuesday, December 15, 2009

I tried to explain to Bassie the comedy rule of threes the other day in the car. The example I gave was pretty pathetic, though. Something like, “Pack your bags for the trip, kids! You’ll need bug spray, snacks, and a ten foot garden hose!” Meh. Bassie’s response: “Oh, okay, I get it. Like, ‘This [...]

the xtranormal affair

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

It is disguisting how fun and addictive it is to make stupid videos on xtranormal. I’d almost compare it to smoking, except that it is free and won’t kill you. This is my first, but certainly not my last (It stars robots! How could that NOT be FUN?!):
