Locked down

Posted by Critter under Site Stuff

I have decided to lock all of my stuff down from here on out. If you are a regular reader and would like to continue reading my blog, leave a comment or shoot me an email, and I will send you the password for all future blog posts.

My flickr account and youtube will be locked down as well.

Scruffy no more

Snip Snip

Getting my hair cut into a mohawk was the only reason I was growing my hair out. I figured it was about time to get it started. :)

Yesterday while running a few errands, I turned around to look at Phoenix and he his fingers in his ears (like when you don’t want to hear something). At first I thought something was wrong, but he just sat there with a smile on his face. Then he would take one finger out of his ear and sit there for a second… almost as if he was listening to the difference it made. I scrambled to grab my phone to snap a picture, but by the time I had grabbed it, he was down to one ear. The picture is still cute, though.

This one just made me laugh (even more so after I saw the picture). His “shorts” look like full length trousers on him. This picture looks like he’s taking a leak.

This morning was a brilliant morning on Seesmic. @Sizemore, @giagia, and @danlight were able to set it up so that the cast of the latest Indiana Jones flick would be interviewed on Seesmic.

Update: Loic Lemeur (founder of Seesmic (and my boss)) has very informative blog post on it all.

Today, the mountain won

Posted by Critter under Critter, Pictures

Well, it wasn’t really a mountain, but I still got beat.

Today, George, Bovis, Mike, and myself awoke early (somewhat) and headed down to White’s on George Street for a lovely breakfast.

IMG_4932.JPGAfter that we headed to BedgeBury for some mountain biking. I used a rental bike, which pretty much turned out to be a piece of crap. I basically had to do the trails in one gear. It was rough. The bike was such a piece of shit, I ended up dropping out close to the end and taking a different path back to the lake. I crashed out for a bit by the lake while waiting for them to arrive. When they got back we all had lunch by the lake. It was nice. Between the crap bike and us being out late the night before… it was a rough day… but it was still fun.

… more later..

I am still slightly exhausted, but getting closer and closer to full functionality. The trip over was pretty painless, as the plane was pretty empty. I was able to stretch out across the entire row. Sadly the plane’s entertainment system was broken, which made the flight seem annoyingly long. They did, however, replace the movie with free alcohol, so it was a bit more bearable. One thing that did suck was the lack of power ports on the plane. Seriously?? It is 2008 you know?! I could have at least watched a couple of the movies I had on my laptop. Oh well.IMG_0328.JPG

The plane landed at Gatwick around 6am. Customs gave me the 3rd degree about my travels. Totally my fault though. When I was initially asked what I was in the UK for, I responded “sin and debauchery”. They apparently didn’t appreciate my humor. heheh. From there, it kind of went downhill. I picked up my luggage and phoned George. He said he would be there in about 1.5 hours. No biggie.. I’ll just have a bit of brekky and relax for a bit.

My phone isn’t working over here. So George had no way of contacting me, but after about 2 hours, I phoned him back. It went straight to voicemail, but I left a message that I would be at the Starbucks, etc..

Long story short… after playing phone tag for a bit, George rang back and caught me on the payphone. That’s when we figured out he was at Heathrow. Doh!!

I ended up taking a train down to Hastings and arrived just before George did.

more later… I’m off into town for a bit.

at the Anchor in the old town

And this made me laff.





I have what he had. I think

Posted by Critter under Critter, Phoenix

It is quite possible I have what Phoenix had, although I haven’t broken down and cried. If this is what my little guy had *whew*… he handled it pretty well.. because it’s kicking my ass.

His nose runs like a river

Posted by Critter under Daily Life, Phoenix

ugh. Phoenix is sick. He’s not miserable laying down all quiet sick. He’s more the … running around like mad with small break downs in between while his nose flows like a river sick.

I am pretty certain we will all have our share of it soon enough.

(I just realized I need to change is category from ‘Baby Phoenix’ to ‘Phoenix’… not really a baby anymore, eh?)
