Buffy comics

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

If you’re not reading Season 8 of Buffy in comic form, you should be. You’ll gain even more respect for Faith and Giles and you’ll want to hug your old pal Joss Whedon.

Whedon talks about the next couple of issues in this interview with MTV (full of spoilers!).

Camping and such

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Sarah, Lluvy and I went camping this weekend and I made some progress on a number of the items on my 101 Things list (namely, I read a lot of Walking Dead). I also made some progress on some of the hiking/exercise/fitness/health goals I made. Because those goals are all fairly long-term, my progress is available on my Gyminee profile. If you want more detail (my weight? you really want to participate in my weekly weigh-ins?), join Gyminee and ask for my hand in friendship.

Goodreads | Chad_s profile.jpgI’m once again using goodreads, this time to keep track of the books I’m reading for my 101/1,001 project. Here’s my profile. I suddenly find myself obsessed with Richard Ford and am juggling a novel and a story collection. I’ll likely read Richard Russo’s newer novel. If anyone from the ol’ ANTM clubhouse has book suggestions, pass them on please!

Max a year ago, Max today

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

A year ago, Max was still struggling with the concept of eating ‘real’ food. I struggled with the act of feeding a baby. Proof:

Today Max is a true toddler, curious about the world. He just received a handful of books from Nanna and Grandpa and spent the morning reading them.

My son the toddler is a better reader than his father. Embarrassing. I need to get myself a Kindle.
