Sorry

I guess it really didn't go through the first time. My bad. I'm not sure why. Regardless, I'm glad everyone got the Walsh pics and video the second time around.

New York was pretty fun. I slept in a little too much Saturday and Sunday to get everything done that I wanted to do, but that's ok. I can always go back again. My friend Abby lives on W. 122nd in Manhattan, right by Columbia. We got in pretty late that night, so we just went out to dinner at a cool French restaurant by the University and then hung out for a bit.

Saturday Hillary and I took the subway to Times Square and walked around a bit. Then we went to the Empire State Building, which was fun but freezing cold at the top. After that, we walked all around on 5th avenue. Of course, I had Hillary take my picture in front of Trump Tower, seeing as I am obsessed with the Apprentice. We also stopped by FAO Schwartz toy store and danced on the piano from the movie Big.

Saturday we toured the streets of Soho for a while - very cool. I could have spent more time there. Then we went to Chinatown which was also fun. After eating, it was time to go. So I still have the Statue of Liberty, numerous museums, Ellis Island, ground zero, etc. to do on a follow-up trip to New York.

That's it from my end. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Jon,
I see that you tried to let us know. So, I guess you will survive...this time.
Thanks for the pictures. I'm in love with that little guy.

ps. Dan, I'm working on a way that I can get my hands on your pictures. Perhaps FTP? Doug, help?

BAD JONATHAN

I cannot believe you knew about baby Walsh all weekend and didn't even tell me. SHAAAAAAME

I don't care if you were in NYC. You shouldn't have taken on messager responsibility if you couldn't message.

Dog house=you get in it

Hello again!

Kristin, we took pictures, but I don't have server space to post them for you. If you have a way I can post them, I'd be happy to.

Imagine me, smaller, and 2 years old, and you have Aidan. Imagine a gerber 8 month old with flaming orange locks, and you have Wesley. Betsy and I look much the same.

Maurissa, I saw the trailer, and it looks very well-edited! I didn't realize you were the creator of Madagascar and Shrek. I guess it didn't make sense for them to say "From the editor of One Hour Photo...."

I won't be at homecoming, but that's only b/c my home is in New Jersey, and I never want to leave. Except to go to New Year's.

Good night.

I won't be at homecoming - Hillary and I are going to New York City this weekend to visit our mutual friend Abby. Did I put this in a previous post? I can't remember and am too lazy to close out of this window and check. Regardless, it should be fun. The only times I have been to New York City were for DCFL at the Waldorff and for Kevin's bachelor party (of which I do not remember all that much).

Hope everyone is doing well. At least the White Sox have made it to the World Series, taking some of the sting out of the fact that they knocked the Indians out of the playoffs.

Baby Walsh Watch

I won't be at homecoming, but I will be waiting to hear about Baby Walsh. If anyone hears anything you are bound to let us all know.
Do it!

Homecoming

It's this weekend. Anyone going?

fingerwave

I'm off to learn how to do a male GU exam in about twenty minutes. I'm nervous and not really interested in palpating and probing a strange man. The book says that an erection is not at all uncommon and that we should reassure him that it is a normal reaction. I think that I'm more likely to run away. Anyway, that's what's new with me.
Fear.

Of course, it also doesn't help that I have to get dressed up, it's a Friday evening from 5:30-6:30 and I can't get Business time by the Flight of the Conchordes (soooo funny) out of my head: http://www.defectiveyeti.com/archives/001315.html

that's not shameless

i self-promote on this blog all the time. although most of my posts are pretty self-deprecating, so i'm not sure that really squares with self-promotion. ANYWAY, not too much to update from Cleveland. the collapse of the indians at the end of the season was pretty devastating. but, on a lighter note, i am still dating hillary. i mean, this is approaching 2 months here, so who knows what could happen. i meet her parents who are visiting tomorrow. yikes.

my house is not progressing at all, mostly on account of laziness, hanging out with hillary, and baseball. now the swim season is about to start, so i don't see too much happening in the next few months either. oh well, at least all my electronics are up and functioning beautifully.

family is good & healthy. work is going well (september & october are typically the slowest months, so that has been nice).

what's new in BLD world???

Shameless

here's my bit of shameless self promotion for the day...

The movie which I have spent the last (almost) 3 years of my life on, finally has a real trailer. You can see it when you go to "Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit", which I highly recommend. Or you can watch it on the web at http://www.overthehedgemovie.com.

This gives you seven months to save up enough money to go see it in the theaters...at least five times each. (And yes, my bonus on the film is determined by box office gross)

Seriously, I just hope you like the trailer and find the characters cute, if not extremely interesting. I really think it's going to be a fun movie when it's all said and done, and it's really exciting for me to see it finally looking like a real movie.

thanks and enjoy!
xo,
mo dee

Wow

I'm out of the loop for a little while and return to posts from Dan and Maurissa. Amazing. Glad to hear from you guys. Well, glad to hear from Maurissa anyway.

What's new with me. Well, I tivo the OC and VCR Survivor. So Thursdays are not really an issue for me. I've been really behind in my tv watching anyway, what with the Indians basically playing for their lives the last month of the season. How depressing not to make the playoffs. Ok, I'm done. Wait 'til next year.

My house has been neglected. I've just been doing too many other things. The pink room is no longer pink (which is good), but still requires a coat or two of paint, and I'm thinking that replacing the pink carpet I pulled out of there might help as well.

I am dating a lovely lady named Hillary. Things are extremely different with her so far (in a very good way), but lest I jinx yet another relationship, I'll refrain from saying anything more about that for a little bit. We'll see what happens.

Hope all is well with everyone out there in blog land. Are you guys all making plans for New Years?

Stupid Network Executives

I know, I never ever ever post on this blog, but I just checked in and have to back up Kristin's TV programming dilemna.
Thursday night at 8pm is a huge problem for me too Kris! I totally missed the season opener of Alias b/c my old school TiVo can only handle one show at a time (and I had The OC ranked one higher than Alias) and I wasn't home to watch the other one in my bedroom.

Anyway, if you get a TiVo nowadays, they are almost all dual tuner - which means you can record one and watch the other all at the same time on the same TV. Or if you're not going to be home, you could record one on your VCR and one with your Tivo (which is what I'm going to have to do).

I'm tempted to change career paths and move into Network Scheduling because this fall's schedule is so terrible. It's like they want their key demographics to suffer by forcing us to choose between our favorite shows. Seriously I think at 8pm on Thursday it's Alias, The OC, Smallville, Survivor and Joey - are you kidding me? And yet I have absolutely nothing to watch Monday and Tuesday at 8pm. Morons. Morons, I tell you!

As usual, I have no input on the baseball season. All I know is that the Cubs are out of the playoffs - and have been for some time - thanks to my beau, I actually know some Cubs players' names too. Yes, miracles can happen.

Okay, that's it, I'm signing off for another five year hiatus.

Oh and good luck with all the pink problems, peeps. I too inherited pink - both my bathrooms are tiled with it - so when ya'll are done ripping out all yours, feel free to pack up the sledgehammers, head west and help me take care of mine.

My best to all of you!!!

Go Tribe!

Given that I stopped caring about baseball years ago, I no longer feel any allegiance to any one team. So today, in this particular situation, I am rooting for the Yankees against Boston.

By the way, Jon, did you see that absolute BS call in the bottom of 12th on Friday? I couldn't believe that the ump had perfect positioning on the play and still blew the call.
