Meaning yeah, I got a face to face interview for a job at Duke. I’m worried about being away from the Little Bug for the night, but it’s a tremendous opportunity to get a great job, even if it’s contract-to-perm.

I’m really nervous, but I did a good enough job on the phone this morning that they want to see me. There was joking and back-and-forth with them, and the one guy is a musician, too. Worked at Disney for ten years. So that’s a good sign, right?

He’s three weeks old as of yesterday. I’ve learned the following with regards to video games:

All-Pro Football 2k8 is a thumbs up. Nothing horribly loud or startling about it. Routinely sleeps on my chest while we play.

Gears of War is alright when he’s being held by Mommy.

Bioshock makes him very fussy. Lots of screaming, screeching, and Generally Bad Things.

On that note, I’m in love with Bioshock. Just a fantastic game. The atmosphere is unlike any other game I’ve played, and the HDTV and the surround sound certainly add to everything. Just creepy hearing a Splicer come at me from behind a split second before I rotate and blow ‘em away with the shotgun.

And on a tangent, SecuROM is NOT A FUCKING ROOTKIT. Get it straight, you idiots. 2K’s FAQ has all the information you need to shut the hell up and just enjoy what is a complete and total masterpiece.

Even if I won’t play it while the boy’s awake.

Quiet Time

First of all, I’m typing this one handed, baby on my chest and cat on my feet.

I feel hot. Little heaters, both of them.

I have discovered the following:
1. wipey warmers are a GOOD thing.
2. Huggies are great, Pampers are fine, Luvs suck.
3. 4AM is a great time to get peed on.
4. 2 changing table covers are not enough.
5. Koala care surpasses Kangaroo care.
6. Some babies are just belly sleepers.
7. Yes they really breathe like that.
8. I must learn to read his mind.
9. You never have enough baby clothes.
10. For breastfed babies, poop is also a projectile.

He’s beautiful, he’s a great baby, and I can’t wait to see where this goes.

My thoughts on the actual birth when I’m more mobile.

Baby

Mom and baby are great. More information later.

Shadow Effect

I’m exhausted. Mentally, physically, everything. Stress. I have agita.

The Simpsons Movie was great.

I took pictures last week. We went walking. It was fun.

…

Hey, wow that’s a BIG cricket or something on my cubicle wall. I wonder if it wants to be friends…
