Halloween always reminds me of GWAR. I used to have all of their albums, and I went to their Halloween concert in Chicago every year. I took Chrissy to a GWAR concert once, when we first met, and she enjoyed it. I was pretty young, still in high school, when I first saw them on MTV in 1989. I was shocked to find that MTV...

I’m not sure how scientifically accurate this is, but BunkBeds.net estimates that I would survive for a mere one minute and nineteen seconds if chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor. That’s based on my fighting skills, jumping ability, and bulldog tenacity (or lack thereof).

We bought our pumpkins about a month ago, and they’ve been sitting on our front porch for a while. This weekend was the last chance to carve them before Halloween, so we got to work on them.

Gavin was very good: he slept through most of his first mass, but woke up just before receiving his baptism. It was a very nice ceremony. Aiden was very good throughout the mass as well. Our family members took lots of photos for...

Erik Kastner put together a neat little tool called “Spell With Flickr” that accepts a word through any web browser and returns a set of pictures that spells that word. The results are pretty awesome, and you have the option to re-select a letter image by clicking on the letter itself.

Chrissy is the best Mom ever, so of course she deserved to take a day off for a twelve-hour scrapbooking event. I’ve been at home alone with Aiden before, but so far I haven’t had both kids at the same time by myself. Chrissy’s mom took pity on me and borrowed Aiden for the morning. That left me with Gavin,...
