the Unexpressed Advantage

Well the time has finally come. And it's been a long time coming. The following is the long-anticipated, much looked forward to, baby montage that I've been talking about for the last 10 weeks. Interestingly enough, during those last 10 weeks new babies are being born like every week! Which is part of the reason I've kept putting it off. Now that Kyle and Sarah had their baby however, I'm calling a cease-fire on all births until tonight at 10:00pm by which time this blog will be finished. So if you have a baby between now (8:49) and 10pm I have to tell you I'm sorry, but your baby isn't going to be on this baby montage or the next baby montage on this blog. Your baby has been disqualified because he or she broke the cease fire and now will have to stand trial for war crimes.

Since the internetic authority on the definition of "montage" is as follows A cinematic device used to show a series of scenes, all related and building to some conclusion it should be easy for you to see why I've referred to this constantly as a montage. It's going to be fun, and this will be the only time on the blog where you will see this many pictures of the blog author in one place. So single ladies, beware this post contains images of dan and babies and lots of images of dan holding babies. You probably better just move on and see what's going on here or maybe here.

And now that that's all settled, I present to you, without further delay:

My favorite babies would totally beat up these babies. Anyway, if you know who the guy in the picture is, you totally win a prize

All's Quiet on the Northwestern Front

This is one of those weeks where all in my world seems to be filled with peace and free of trouble. Maybe I'm just feeling sentimental, maybe I'm on drugs. I'm not sure.

Top of the good news is that Jane and Dane are finally home with Ben and officially "out of the woods." Now I can go meet Ben and get my picture taken with him, and the baby montage will be complete and ready for posting.

I think maybe I've already complained on this blog about the whole coffee shops never fill up my coffee thing on this blog. So sorry but I have to complain about it again.

Because I seriously end up thinking about this every single time I go for a coffee.

Now let me make some things clear.

Some of the people who live in my college grew a tree from paper cup seeds that you can get at Starbucks® and other prominent coffee bean locales. It's quite pretty, but they're also trying to make a statement. The statement is that when you purchase coffee in these paper cups, instead of throwing the paper cups away, you can use them to make a pretty tree.

"We're gonna go minister to the world on MTV." – washingtonpost.com

There's something on TV called "Run's House". I don't really know what it is, but occasionally my bitTorrent client will start downlading it because it thinks that it is the tv show "house" (generally quite a good show except for the fact that it's not on the air because there's some kind of strike going on so now there's no tv but only lots and lots of reality shows). What is this world coming to. Wasn't there a movie about this? Some kind of thing where it was like 500 years in the future, and due to the inbreeding of dumb people we wound up with a situation where the only things that people did were eat fast foot, drink beer, and sit around watching NASCAR and reality TV?

What movie was that anyway?

Oh yeah, back to Run's house.
