Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend...

I didn't watch the whole show or anything. Actually, I barely watched it at all, but there was a lot of talk about it amongst people I know. The Pussycat Dolls show, I thought, was pretty blah. Who should have won? Melissa R was a favourite but Asia won. Apparently, Asia won but isn't really part of the Pussycat Dolls. I don't remember the details of the first prize, but I guess it wasn't to fully join the group because Asia isn't in the pictures of the group and she didn't perform with the group recently. So now there is some controversy over whether of not Asia is really part of the group. I don't mind because I always thought Asia was ugly. I hear the other pussycat dolls didn't like her either. Where did I hear all this? I'm really good friends with a few of the pusscats and they told me.

Bedtime

I learned something this evening. The twins don't like to sleep with us in our bed, they just like to sleep in our bed. Yeah, whether we're there or not, they don't care, they just like our bed better than their own. Man, if it meant getting a full night's sleep, I'd curl up into their crib in a second. I knew we had a freakin sweet mattress.

Movie Reviews

Shaun of the Dead & Hot Fuzz with Simon Pegg & Nick Frost

Not exactly oscar material but pretty fucking hilarious.

No Other Way

You know when you watch TV and movies and when one of the characters has a baby and the dad says "all my priorities changed as soon as I found out we were pregnant.". It was a little different for me.  At first, I couldn't help but worry about all the work I had to do around the time the babies were to be born.  Then, starting  after they were born, I started to worry more and more about missing time with my kids.  It's taken a while for me, but I think its starting to finally sink in - and I mean REALLY sink in - that I'm a father.  Not just a father, but instantly a father of 2 children.  The other day I was watching them sleep and thought "holy crap, I have 2 kids".  My brother and his wife have one (I'm hoping they have at least one more) and when they come over I always think "where's the other one?". I can't even imagine having only one baby now.  And I can't wait to start my parental leave, I feel like I'm not helping raise my children. 

Mom 2

The greatest thing about having your mother-in-law live with you is that it's like living at home again.  Celia's mom cooks for us, cleans, and  helps look after the babies.  I feel like I won the lottery.  I honestly can't think of anything that has been more valuable to us over the past 3 months than having Celia's mom here with us.  Unfortunately, she'll be going home at the end of the month and we'll be on our own.  Oh well, I guess its time to be our own family at last. 

Progress

The twins are both 8lbs11oz. Doesn't sound like much but to me that's huge.

Tired and Grumpy

I can totally understand why new parents disappear for a few months and suddenly reappear with a little crawling baby. It is such a pain the @$$ to get the kids ready and out the frickin door. Then, when you're out you have to worry about them eating and having to change their diapers. The mall isn't exactly the best place to be doing these things. I mean, it can be done but sometimes its a real pain. We were at Oakridge for, like, 4 hours today - 1 hour of shopping and 3 hours of feeding, diaper changing, eating. Seems like such a waste of a day but I guess the other option is to stay at home and do all the same things. I guess Celia's just sick of the house. It's always difficult when you're with people and they are just taking their sweet ass time while you're sitting there trying to soothe 2 crying babies. Then they leave their bags hanging off the handles of the double-stroller so that when you're pushing it through a store the bags are catching on things and knocking things over. As if it wasn't wide enough. So they stick it in the little storage basket under the seat (which, by the way, is very nice in my stroller) but you can't access the basket when the seats are fully reclined which they have to be with newborns so now if they want their bag you have to remove the baby, raise the seat, remove bag, recline seat, settle baby back in the aforementioned seat, and then pray that the baby doesn't start crying again. Just carry your own damn bag like you would if there wasn't a stroller. Anyway, none of these things would normally bother me, I was just having a bad day.

Milestone

I'm approaching 10,000 hits. I can't believe it. It took 2 years to get this far but who cares if no one really cares what I have to say? I'm at 10,000!! If you visit the page and you are #10,000 let me know and I'll write you a limerick.

Long Live Z

I'm quite disappointed.  Sixteen years ago I started listening to this new radion station that played dance music.  At the time, the only other "good" station was LG73 but it was AM and sounded crappy.  Since 1991, Z95.3 has always been the first station that I programmed into my stereo.  I always woke up to it, I usually drove while listening to it, and sometimes went to sleep listening to it (not that it was boring, it was just 3am and I was drunk).  As of a few days ago, Z95.3 is gone and has been replaced with 95Crave.  So far I'm unimpressed. 

In honour of this sad event, I have a special "Who Said That?"  Double points if you get this one right.

"Zed's dead, baby.  Zed's dead."

I've Waited a Long Time for This

It started 10 years ago and it's finally coming back, better than ever.
