Breakfast, Sort Of

This morning we were more interested in getting the food on our hand and legs than in our mouth.

Father & Son

Myself and the boy yesterday. Apparently I look slightly touched while giving cheek raspberries.

Things That Bug Me

The way people over here pronounce the word "Reggae". They say Ray-Gay, and for some reason put a lot of emphasis on the first half of the word.
I have started to say it with soft g's, just to serve as a counterpart for the bastardisation of English you can hear while in the American South (note - not South America). So far it has only caused more confusion than rightfully deserved awe.

Back Seat Party

Sean is enjoying his new car seat.

Self Portrait

I believe you have my stapler

Roc asked me to do a little something for Admin Pro Day.

Jonas

For some reason I have had My Name Is Jonas with Weezer stuck in my head since I woke up this morning. I am at the moment trying to listen to it at work as loud as possible, my theory is that that should speed up the process of getting it out of there.

More Easter, Seaster!

More Easter pictures. As you can tell Sean spent the majority of the weekend on the Sofa, when he wasn't trying on his old man's boots.

It's Easter, Measter!

Here are some pictures from Sean's first Easter:

Ask ME!!

This is my over sized Clinical Trials Button I wear at work. Pretty Kick Ass!

I think Kurt Cobain wore one just like this.

Batter Up!

Just a man... and his bat

At the local Wal Mart

Way To Be Original, Liam

I now realise why Beady Eye's debut album sound familiar.

They sound just like The Undertones!

Frappin' it

As part of my strategy to never do what everybody else is doing I am listening to Goldfrapp at work. Not the most rebellious band, I agree, but since it isn't Country, Soft Rock or something from American Idol it is foreign to the majority of my co-workers. Speaking of music - yesterday I really got my hopes up when I thought i heard CHUCK FM (the radio station that is on here 24/7) play The Volecanoes old hit Carnaby Street. But alas, I was gravely mistaken.

Update

Right now I am drinking a mix of Sam's Club's regular and Christmas coffee (about 10%-80%), eating a Peanut Butter and Honey sandwich and checking out my favourite lesbian bloggers.

Gunter?

I saw a guy on the bus this morning who looked suspiciously like Gunter Grass.

Just saying...

Films

This first one is of Sean getting the hang of the whole crawling business, trying to get an old mobile phone.

The second film is Sean chasing one of his toys in his walker.

Home Grown

Good Morning.

It is Monday and here is a picture of myself wearing a homemade mustache.

Happy Pig

I have been on a wicked bacon kick lately. Since Monday every lunch and dinner have consisted of bacon, usually accompanied by eggs in some form. Today I even had it for breakfast! But it is not any bacon, it is Wal-Mart's own Peppered Bacon. It comes smothered in freshly ground black pepper - delish! It seems to be working though, did over 5K yesterday in less than half an hour. And I just read that The Stone Roses is reuniting. Bring on the Resurrection.

You've Got Mail!

The son got a care pack from the grandparents yesterday. He seemed to appreciate the over sized envelope and the DVDs the most. The pictures below are a bit blurry, but that is what you get with an eight-month-old who refuses to sit still.

Wicked awesome with your own films.

Off to show the cat.

...Who didn't seem too interested.

Little Shopper

The boy yesterday at Wal-Mart.

Office Smells

I just had to run (not literally, I walked) a couple of laps all over campus, so now I am stinking it up in the office. Fortunately I am by myself today, so there is no one to get offended by my man-musk.

Here is a picture of my wicked station

Looking Back

Here is a four-sentence re-cap of the Eriksonian weekend:

• Friday night the Mrs. and myself went to see Sucker Punch (as mentioned earlier, but definitely worth mentioning twice). Haven't been to the movies in a while, so that was a real treat.


• Saturday I helped a friend move, always nice to get a free workout...


• Sunday I did a 20K run. It was totally alright, the only irritating thing about it is the ridiculously high number of bug bites one can acquire in a bit over two hours outside.

Consider Me Punched

At the moment I am at the office listening to Bjork's Army of Me and dreaming about a land with school girl uniforms, samurai robots and wicked gun fights. Sucker Punch was phenomenal and had the best use of a Bjork song in a film since Leon.

Elderly Fashioned Learning Institute

Have musically moved from Aimee to My Bloody Valentine.

"Why Matt", you might say, "We dare say it feels as if you are on a wicked 90's kick today."

"But yes", I would reply, "yes it does indeed!"

Breakfast

Freshly made coffee and some dodgy looking broccoli.

To go with this I am listening to the best of Aimee Mann, seems to be a surprisingly nice combination.

Book Shopping

Finally found a good guide for successful stalking.

Hoping to make the move up to the professional league this year.

Reading Partner

This was my night yesterday; trying to read while neglecting the obvious calls for attention from Mustard.

Man in Machine

Today was the "Irish" pot luck at work that for some reason I was bestowed to organise. I made green scones and told people to bring potato dishes. I turned out to be alright, not very Irish, but still not bad.


And now before I leave for the day I decided to give the little judgemental man inside my printer's paper tray a body.

We Love Books!

Not sure what to do with them, but they're awesome!

Spooky Beer

Here is a monster that left his imprint in the foam after I finished a beer the other week.

Time for Sign

Made this sign for the office today.

Latest Baby Pics

Here is a video of the firstborn eating a tasty fruit concoction.

You might have to turn the sound up some to hear it.
