Well, I went ahead and created a little photo album on yahoo just so I can show off how cute my baby is: Krystal in mini-recliner Daddy and Krystal self-portrait Krystal is a messy eater There are a few more at yahoo Photo Albums , and they're all just as cute! Contribute to the Exquisite Corpse!

Here's another old poem from the Exquisite Corpse. This one was created 10 years ago today.... Seven E's and an L Don't forget the Windex. Somehow, somewhere, it always happens again Yo, Larry! Grab me a Point! a quarter of your life, wiped away.... The cheese sailed across the room And sparks flew as lice from their heated loins. Do you know what I'm thinking? Bananas, falling like rain Send your own line of poetry to the new Exquisite Corpse! Do i...

Well, it finally happened. After weeks of flailing about, sitting, rolling, going backward, making little froggy-leap motions, and otherwise not quite actually crawling, tonight Krystal did a real, honest, forward-progress crawl. It was only about 2 feet, but she did it a couple of different times and it looks like she's already got the hang of it pretty well. She's going to be a little terror on hands and knees, I can already tell. I guess I'd better really get cracking with more bab...

A while back I posted a few poems. (See "Deaf Trees and Bladders" , "Zoroaster's Filibusters" , and "Watch me now" .) These poems are credited to The Exquisite Corpse, which is not a person, but a process. What I did was, on the dial-up BBS that I used to run, I set up a mailbox. The users would send in a line of random poetic-sounding stuff. Every once in a while I would open the mail, collect the lines into stanzas, make up a title, and post the resulting poem for all to see and mar...

(This is sort of inspired by Mignuna's "Big. Fake. Boobs." article; I'd been pondering this for a while, but her post was a catalyst for me to make public my own observations.) So why is it that women's boobs get all the attention? And I don't just mean getting stared at, I mean being talked about. Yes, a lot of men (myself included) enjoy the occasional lingering gander at a well-formed, bountiful bosom, but that is far from the only interesting thing about a woman. I, for one, am actu...

Bedtime for Krystal Okay, little squirmy one The day is over with, it's done. It's time for you to go to bed and calm your squirmy little head. Okay, little wiggly one The time is past for having fun. It's time for baby's eyes to shut and rest your wiggly little butt. Okay, little active one The time for sleeping has begun. Don't try to woo me with your charms, just still your active little arms. Okay, little tired child Objections over, manner mild, Your legs relax, Yo...

I went on a little trip this past weekend with my woman (Ann) and my adorable baby (Krystal). When we got back Sunday night, we had a quick, easy meal from the freezer. I happened to notice, when I grabbed our repast, that there was, for some inexplicable reason, an awful lot of frost on many of our food items. But I cooked, we ate, and we didn't think much more about it that day. Monday we had a bigger dinner. Ann mentioned that she kept hearing this odd clicking noise coming from the...

I saw this limerick review of Spider-man 2 by SPC Nobody Special. I love to write limericks myself, so I got inspired to create this limerick summary of the movie. DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE YET! THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. Peter Parker starts having some fits when his webshooters go on the fritz and he gets no respect, just abuse and neglect; pretty soon he gives up and just quits. Doc Octavius, seeking true fusion (not those hacks', Pons and Flei...

I knew it couldn't be too far off. Finally, after a couple months of being able to remain sitting on her own and play comfortably, and weeks of going from sitting to lying down and rolling, my little girl tonight made it from lying on her back to sitting up! I was watching her play out of the corner of my eye and all of a sudden instead of being on her back or tummy, she was propping herself up with her arms and getting her legs from behind her to in front of her. It was quite the gymnasti...
