• Listening to Back to Work #1 "When are you ever going to get enough of Exactly How You Need It to Be to finally make something?" #
• Comic: Gawk-Blocking (http://j.mp/i3iBMu) – This one's shared for Kate. #
• Last time I was at this dayjob (short contract) someone kept taking down the Obama pix I had in my cube. Now (new team), I get compliments. #
• (The pix in question: http://bit.ly/gL6vGM) #
• Guys, I've been listening to the Back to Work podcast, and I want to recommend episode #4 Fear and Failing with Style. http://bit.ly/gCRsCa #
• That… was a hell of a birthday dinner, if I do say so myself. #
• http://twitpic.com/3z8fkk #

• Circles (http://j.mp/hxlVaN) – Cool. #
• Seriously, how do babies take a 100% liquid diet and turn it into chunky diaper peanut butter? #darkmagicks #zeropointenergy #
• Ahh, Infant Hiccups, my old enemy. Back again, after so many years, and back with a vengeance. #
• RT @neilhimself: Was about to retweet the #worstneilgaimanpickuplines but there are so many amazingly awful ones. click the hashtag to see. #
• Hey, world? Got a newborn and a newly-diabetic pet to deal with — you could stop adding shit to my to-do pile ANY time now #
• This evening, @daphneun asked me when I finally got to the point where I didn't go in and check that my child was still breathing all right. #
• … It's adorable that she thinks that condition ever ends. #
• Stuck Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell under end of BabyBeau's mattress to combat post-feeding hiccups/spit-ups. #onethingbooksbeatereadersat #
• Chalk the book-to-elevate-mattress up under victorious #parenthacks by the way — worked like a charm. #
• Hey: all the breastfeeding experts out there, frothing about how a pacifier/bottle will ruin my kid for boobs? Sean says you're a poopyhead. #
• I mean, first of all, this is *my* kid: he knows what to do when someone shoves a boob in his face. #
• Second, he's 8 days old and knows exactly one thing about eating: "Yes." Little man'll try to get milk from my THUMB if it strays too close. #
• For those asking, we reference exactly 2 baby books. Be Prepared (sadly OOP) and The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems (paper&ebook). #
• When I was single-dadding it with Trixie, those two books saved my sanity. Repeatedly. #
• Snowdecahedron (http://j.mp/hy1yhH) – It's D12 Degrees out! #

• Instant karma for failed head-kicker (http://j.mp/eIgHlt) – I could watch this all day. #
• I'm not having it every day of course, but this morning having one of those 5-hour energy shots available this morning was… very good. #
• Our DVR, 68% full and 100% comprised of unwatched episodes, has died. #rip #
• Using a Google Docs spreadsheet to track All Things Baby is nerdy, but damn it's useful. Bonus: accessible from every mobile device we have. #
• Momma left me alone with Daddy… what does "punk rock" mean? http://flic.kr/p/9fRcpM #
• This has been my last week. (http://j.mp/fwB5pY) – It's tremorriffic! #

• Off to l'hospital with the essentials: laptop(s), Buffy Seasons 1 & 2, @ChuckWendig's Irregular Creatures on the Kindle. Oh, and @DaphneUn. #
• The paper towel dispenser in @daphneun's room randomly runs. Dispenses. Whatever. @maureenjohnson's Icegor has a cousin: Towelgor. #
• The odds of cancellation just spiked. RT @DrewBenTaylor: Q: how good is #beinghuman on @Syfy? A: Very #
• Hospital wants me to itemize all the electronics we brought with us. So that's the rest of the night. #
• No baby news. Buffy totally stopped the Harvest, though, so there's that. #
• Update: @DaphneUn is sleeping. Has labor started? Eh. Babyuns heartbeat floats out of the room's overhead speakers like awesome white noise. #
• In semi-related news, I have had the chorus from @jonathancoulton's 'Betty and Me' going through my head ALL night. #
• When I say @daphneun is sleeping, please understand that I mean hospital-interruption-sleeping, which != sleeping. Watching more Buffy now. #
• The Buffy episode "Teacher's Pet" raises several philosophical questions. Such as: "How did the show make it to Season Two?" #lowpoints #
• Heading home for a few minutes to give Dizzy her shot. @daphneun's starting the next round of baby eviction notices. #
• Also: anyone who feels like making sadface at the word 'induction' should STFU now. This is not the time to contribute to the conversation. #
• (Besides, anyone who knows me and @daphneun knows that any kid of ours is a kid that'll need to be forcibly kicked out of a comfy bed.) #
• Lots of doctor visits today, so far. @DaphneUn has a Darth Vader mask on now. So hot. I mean she says it's hot. I don't have a Vader fetish. #
• RT @shitmydadsays: Aliens exist, I just don't think they came millions of light years to see earth. Like driving 1000 miles to go to Arby's. #
• No major babyun updates. Averages would indicate another 7ish hours to go. @DaphneUn it obviously above average… whatever that may mean. #
• Ladies and gentlefolk: Babyun. http://twitpic.com/3tdnhw #
• And he was early due to a surprise c-section. Everyone is great. #
• Those of you asking: bebe's official nomme d'internet will be bestowed by @maureenjohnson once her custom ornithopter sets down. #
• Kaylee: Can I feed Sean? Me: Well, he's still figuring out eating. He doesn't even know what his tongue is for. K: WHAT? It's for ICE CREAM. #
• Kaylee: "I like our family. It was already awesome, and now it is even more awesome." #thingskayleesays #thekidsareallright #
• RT @theknittingnerd: @doycet @DaphneUn It looks like KT Literary has a new… :) http://twitpic.com/3tkprx #
• Kaylee and Sean Douglas. "Our family is getting even more awesome." http://flic.kr/p/9dn6N3 #
• Playing 'Moving Castle' with Kaylee. She's driving it around to pick up tea and cupcakes. And fairies. #
• So @daphneun was sure that right when the bearcub arrived, I'd get a new day job, just b/c that would be least convenient. She was right. #
• As an upside, I seem to get a lot more writing done when I don't have as much time to write, so it's a plus for finishing up projects. #
• Egypt Leaves the Internet (http://j.mp/hCnc7c) – This is crazy. #
• MMOs: Ditto. RT @gapingvoid: The trouble with writing about business is that it's actually pretty fucking boring most of the time. #shh #
• Allllmost ready to head home with the new man of the house. #
• "I think Sean went from Cute to Adorable today. He leveled up!" #thingskayleesays #
• And yeah, I know I've been quiet the last couple days. That's the peace and serenity of exhaustion. #
• "The Bearcub, coming home." My current favorite overdose of cuteness. http://flic.kr/p/9e4tAr #
• I and @daphneun have decided Sean bears the closest resemblance to… Winston Churchill. #
• "We shall fight on the changing tables, we shall fight in the cribs and in the bassinets; we shall never surrender!" #
• Working on the E.A.S.Y. routine from the Baby Whisperer – very successful thing with Kaylee. First dream-feed in about an hour. Then we see. #
• A bit of re-reading today; half-remembered baby stuff that needed refreshing. Crossing fingers for Kaylee-grade nighttime awesomeness. #

• My daughter's first GM Screen. http://twitpic.com/3qn4lv #
• Minecraft Jacks An 8-Bit Pick-Ax Into Your Brain (http://j.mp/eKvJ1c) – I'm terrified of Minecraft; terrified of the siren call… #
• After our amazing contractors, these carpet guys feel like honeymooning with a cheap hooker after a fabulous wedding with your dreamgirl. #
• Indication of what Kaylee thinks of the new room: she asked "please please" if she could go to bed early tonight. http://bit.ly/e8Jf7j #
• Wolves (http://j.mp/f3UHE0) – Heh. #
• I *was* making a healthy supper. Then it started snowing. My South Dakota genes took over & smothered the whole thing in cream sauce. #
• And since we're talking South Dakota, "cream sauce" = Campbells cream of mushroom soup. If it keeps snowing, I'll make Velveeta con queso. #
• My first Daddy Gamer post for Green Dragon Inn: Dude, Stop Calling it 'Wife Aggro': http://bit.ly/eyLade #
• For you morning people, my first Daddy Gamer post for Green Dragon Inn: Dude, Stop Calling it 'Wife Aggro': http://bit.ly/eyLade #
• Isn't Google Wave supposed to be offline now? Damn zombie apps, not knowing when to stay dead. #
• Best part of reading The Wee Free Men to Kaylee? Doing the voices for the Nac Mac Feegle. And the Toad. #
• RT @dknippling: Twitter makes a great back of the cereal box. #
• Goddammit Google, quit moving Reader off the links at the top of the GMail page. #

• "Blood Libel" is a trending topic today… something about how Sarah Palin's giving Tina Fey something to do the next time she's on SNL. #
• Yeah, No (http://j.mp/eeo7lH) – Of all the appalling things Palin has said, this is, alas, merely the most recent. #
• Painless detangling: "roll" hair instead of brushing it (http://j.mp/fvlh3W) – MUST TRY THIS. #

• "All that sleeping made me tired." #thingskayleesays #
• Thinking about Tolkein, Tangled, and women who give up a power to stay w/ their man. Result: sucked into tvtropes.com again. I blame @cyface #
• Err. Tvtropes.org I mean. Silly me. #
• My work in progress /appears/ to be missing about 10k words. The most recent 10k, actually. This troubles me. #
• Son of bitch I hate rewriting stuff I already wrote. Damn it. Fuck. It was good, too. DAMN it. #

• True Grit: a pretty fine movie. #

• One too many 'who's that flabby bastard holding my daughter?' pictures yesterday. Off to the gym. #
• First inspection (rough frame, rough electrical) of Kaylee's new room. Nomming oatmeal to fortify and scribbling down things to ask. #
• NICE. RT @seananmcguire: Who wrote one of the Onion AV Club's best books of 2010? Was that my evil twin, @miragrant? HOLY CRAP IT WAS. #

• Remember that Secret Santa who wouldn't 'accept' anything on my wish list? They finally approved a suggestion… then bought something else. #
• Trying to find #lotro gift cards at GameStop stores in town (just checked the 5th). So far, they either don't carry em or can't find them. #
• My gift wrapping really lends the holiday an authentic feel — the feeling of "a five-year-old wrapped this, after getting into the scotch." #
• RT @cpat71: Merry Christmas to all you wonderful people who live inside my computer and make me happy. #
• Finished standard Christmas Eve preparations: watering the lawn and trees to stave off drought conditions. #
