Beerfest with Paul Soter & Erik Stolhanske
Reminds me of all those drunken nights in my younger, wilder days. Wait, I was never wild but I did get drunk a few times. Ahh, good times, good times.

I'm Loving It
Man, I hope McDonald's doesn't sue me. I really like their fries.
Big hint that you and your friends are parents:
When you drive up to your buddy's house and all the guys come out to check out your sweet new minivan.
Anyway, a couple weeks ago Celia and I took the ultimate step into parenting in the suburbs: we bought a minivan. Her car just wasn't big enough to carry all our crap, plus the babies and us. We needed something bigger and it had to be nice. Introducing our third baby: the Odyssey.

We're Celebrities
When you're in the mall with your kids, how often do you get stopped by a complete stranger to ask you about your children? Once? Twice? We get stopped at least 4 times per hour that we're in a public place. "Are they twins?" "You're so lucky!" "That's so cute." "Are they identical?" and so on... I imagine that Steve and Lisa are the only ones (that I can think of) that would truly understand what I'm talking about. It's kind of flattering, but when we're in a hurry I just want to say "yes they're twins, no not identical, it's one boy and one girl. bye." and keep on walking. Everything takes longer now - walking through the mall, going through a grocery store checkout, ordering at restaurants - because we have to acknowledge our newfound celebrity status as parents of twins.

Movie Review
Transformers with Shia LaBeouf & Megan Fox
I remember growing up in Regina and my friend Patrick had a million transformers. He had almost all of them. We would play for hours with these things then go back to my house and play for hours with my GI Joes. I always liked the Autobots because I liked that they turned into cars instead of guns and planes and stuff. Not too long ago, I downloaded the entire Transformers cartoon series including the original animated movie. Totally legally, of course. Anyway, the only thing I didn't like about the new movie was that the character's faces were hard to see. Too alien.

Mini-Milestone
The other night the twins had a breakthrough. They slept in a crib instead of in our beds. It was incredible. I was able to stretch out and not worry about squashing one of them. Maybe we'll be able to get them to sleep in their cribs a little more so mommy and daddy can get some better sleep.
Stupid Question
Here's the stupidest thing I hear all the time:
"Oh how cute, are they twins?"
"yes, one boy, one girl."
"Oh that's perfect. Are they identical?"
What the fuck? "Are they identical?" If you're thinking "what's wrong with that?" then you should maybe look up the definition of "identical". Then tell me how a male and a female can be identical. "Oh but they can look alike." Yes, they can look alike, but does that mean they're identical? No! When people ask me this I want to send them to the corner to think about what they've said.

Updates
I'm really quite angry with myself for not keeping my blog more current. However, because I have twins at home, I'm a little busy so quit your complaining and be glad that I haven't completely abandoned my blog all together (like some...). Anyway, here's a quick update:
Mother-in-law left last week so we've been alone with the babies. Tiring, but rewarding in it's own way.
I'm on parental leave now. I don't have to go back to work until after Labour Day. That's Labor Day to you americans. Anyway, I get to spend the entire summer with my family. Take that, sucker!
Celia's Acura has gone the way of the Pinto. It's been replaced with a minivan. The other day we got a 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L. As far as minivans go, it's pretty freakin sweet. It's so much more convenient and we have way more space now for all the junk we have to carry.
We've decided that we will be going to the Philippines this winter. We'll make a stop in Taiwan so all of her relatives can meet the twins and then spend the rest of our holidays in the Phils. Her sister's wedding will also be in the Philippines so it should be a pretty fun trip. Hopefully the twins will be up for it.
I don't have a blackberry all summer so if you only have that phone number, you'll have to hunt down my personal number. Or just email me at home. Actually, facebook works too.
If you live somewhere where you're not allowed to intall an airconditioner or you want to be able to cool just one room at a time, get yourself a good portable air conditioner. We got one. It fucking rocks.
