At dinner tonight I had a funny thought. I wondered what the TV Guide would look like if my two-year-old son named all of the programs. Here's what we came up with: "Bugs Bunny": Bunny "Tiny Toons": Baby Bunny "Roadrunner": "Mee Mee" "Prehistoric Planet": Dinosaur TV "Croc Files": Elephant hippo "Kenny the Shark": Kenny Shark (not bad) "The Simpsons": Sim-sims (also "Bart" or maybe "D'oh" -That's a long time ago!) "Haun
I haven't posted much lately. There have been a few factors that have contributed to that. Busier-than-usual days at work. Stuff to do around the house/ Helping mom and baby TV shows that I am watching: Drew Carey, ER, Boston Legal, Desperate Housewives, the Simpsons, and my newest discovery: The Family Guy. Fantasy Football and Sumo My new video game (I am 44% finished. I need some extra time to clear the next stage.) Visits to the health cl
--I used to love that show, but it jumped the shark long ago By the way: No way that's true.
I was a bit bummed that they couldn't find a better lookalike for Alex. I was happy to see all of my old friends in the ER though. I am a big fan of Neela's hair. By the way, you should look into getting a DVR (like a TiVo), that'll change the way you watch TV. We never watch anything live anymore.
Today I received a package in the mail from my friend Fukashi in Japan. He sent me the latest version of my favorite video game, SaruGetYou 3! I was really surprised and happy! Surprised , because I didn't think that SGY3 would be out before the launch of the new PlayStation console; and happy , because I have been itching to play a video game lately. I am looking forward to spending some time this weekend
Two weekends ago, my wife and I took our son (Kenny) to see grandma and grandpa in Duluth. Kenny had lots of fun up there. Me, the baby, and my parents. Kazuko fed the birds.
My wife made a new pair of pajamas for our son. I think that they look really cute on him. Kazuko (my wife) took this picture of Kenny (our son) in his new pajamas, while he was watching the Roadrunner on TV. He loves that show. He calls it "Mee Mee."
The most recent Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo has been interesting. After day 10, new Sekiwake Kotooshu leads the field with a 10-0 record, followed closely by Yokozuna Asashoryu at 9-1. I am looking forward to their eventual showdown when the Yokozuna will have a chance to pull-even en route to his attempt at a perfect calendar year (winning every tournament.) I heard that Kotooshu's 10-0 record is the best record in the modern era for a rikishi debuting at his rank.&nbs
On public television, there is an often-ran series from the 1970s titled "Good Neighbors". It is a story of a couple, Tom and Barbara Good, who are living a life of self-sufficiency in the suburbs. They do their best to support themselves in their garden. Tom and Barbara are contrasted by their neighbors, the Ledbetters, who are climbers of the social ladder. Beside the occasional minor conflict, both couples get along quite well. After watching bits and pieces of the 28-episode ser
Tonight at dinner, we had a tomato/ meatball soup. While sitting our son down for dinner, I didn't notice that he had been carrying his toy hippo. During the meal, baby had a happy time making what he eventually called "hippo soup." He happily ate the vegetables and the meatballs out from around his toy hippo. Hippo soup:
My wife, my son, and I went out for lunch with my parents today. At the restaurant we went to, we saw a very clever entry in the menu. The entry was for a deep-fried fish sandwich. It read: "Our fish is caught fresh daily! Just kidding, but it's really good!" I thought it was clever, so I ordered the sandwich. <FONT style="BACKGROUND
Here are a few of the photos that I received in my e-mail the other day. Kazuko, Kenny, and Madeline, getting ready to head for the Renaissance Festival. Kenny looks cool in this one.) My friend Andy and I at the Renaissance Festival. (I look terrible, but this is a good picture of Andy, so it shouldn't be wasted.)
Cheney is busy shoring up Haliburton business so they can move in on New Orleans. Duh...
Today we met some friends at the Mall of America. We did a little shopping, we visited the aquarium, and we had lunch at a place called The Napa Valley Cafe. Kenny had been asking us about Mei Mei. The first thing that he said yesterday morning when he woke up was: "Let's go see MeiMei!" Today he got to see her. My son and I at the aquarium.
Yeah! Funding to repair broken stuff never does any good! That levee was just like a welfare sinkhole, consuming the good American citizens' well-earned tax dollars. American tax money should go into non black-hole zones, like rebuilding Iraq. Let the levees pull their own weight, or fall by the wayside.
Our son likes to pretend that he's a variety of animals. Here is a picture of him as an elephant. The sock in his mouth is the trunk.
Recently our little boy has been crazy about whales and sharks. (Especially sharks!) He's always talking about sharks, looking at pictures of them, and watching them (or asking to watch them) on television. He sleeps with a plastic shark and a whale, and he probably says the word "shark" over 100 times every day. It is really cute! We've found two cartoons that feature sharks. One is "Misterjaw", which is played during "The Pink Pa
Those flobees are really nice to have. Too bad that they're so loud. Baby gets scared. At least the haircuts are finished quickly.
We gave our son a haircut today. We put him in his highchair, and we got him with the Flobee. He HATED it. He screamed and cried, and his nose was running like crazy. In the two-to-three minutes that it took to finish, he was just as happy as before we started. (I can't imagine how he'd scream if we took him to a stylist.) <IMG style="WIDTH: 316px; HEIGHT: 234px" height=234 alt="" hspace=0 src="http://www.geocities.com/chipperprime/kennybuzz" width
I am afraid that I may have mislead. The jeans and shoes aren't included in the $43 total. The shirts are however.
Teachers in my district have to report back on Thursday. Goodbye summer vacation! I have finished a lot around the house. (Everything except my wife's bookshelf and our screen door. I can do those quickly, even though they may be a little late.) To prepare myself for the next school year, I bought a few new items of clothes. I bought a pair of shoes, jeans, three shirts, and two t-shirts. Here are the shirts. My wife and I had a bit of a dis

Every year in Saint Paul's Como Park, a Japanese festival is held. There is food, concessions, displays, and performances relating to Japan and Japanese culture. It is a fun time for our family. This year, our friends Rob and Nancy came to the festival with us. They brought their little girl (Isadora) too. Isadora is nearly one year old. She is a happy, friendly little girl. We got to see some taiko drummers. The group that we say played in a
I have a few photos to post. There may be little relation between them, so this is a miscellaneous photo post. I have been pulling lots of tomatoes out of my garden lately. I have given a few away, sold some, and have eaten a lot. I may try to make some salsa out of future tomatoes. This is what my
Jm J. Bullock is American, isn't he? I wonder whether he could do an English accent... vs. Each appealing in his own, debonair way.
