Spreading some love

Big congrats to Des and Megan on the arrival of yet another member of team Reddick. Des appears determined to follow through on his promise to procreate his way into a band, with new boy Davin (heckuva name!) following hard on the heels of year old Cade. I'm viewing the new baby's name as two-thirds of a tribute; I don't care if it's not, that's how I'm taking it.

On to the silliness.

Roommate Carol let's me know she's stuck on me with this Valentine:
Because nothing shows affection like little peanut-butter and chocolate Spider-man heads.
There were six in the box, but one fell, sadly, before my choco-lust. Poor fellow, you'll be missed.

And finally, if you haven't seen it already, some sublime ridiculousness:


The trailer is funny the first couple of times, but after the sixth or seventh viewing, it turns into some kind of bizarre poetry. It's provocative!

Say Uncle! Say it!

I've got all sorts of great things happening around me lately and I just don't have time to tell you about them. The biggest one is that I became an uncle about three weeks ago. That's right, my sister had her kid (finally! We had to wait, like, months), and seeing as being a really good uncle means being a really bad influence, I'm already stockpiling firecrackers and researching where the good cockfights are in Vancouver. It's probably too early to tell, but I'm hoping the little squirt has inherited his uncle's kidney punch and his uncanny ability to make his aunts cry. But seriously, how does one go about finding a cockfight? It's still legal in parts of Southeast Asia, and Vancouver has a large Asian population. Where do you go when you've got a hankering for some of that old country fun? Janis, you must know. Ah well, finding out will take a while, but that's fine, I've got time. It'll be six, seven months before he'll be able to appreciate it anyways. I can tell already, being an uncle is going to be a lot of work, but, oh the rewards.
