By patrick on Thursday, April 10, 2003 - 11:55 pm: god damn i love this new detergent we are using. i smell my baby on me all day long which leads me to remember the smell of her sweet baby breath. this morning, while mom slept a little longer, she and i layed in bed, talked, looked each other over and pooted for each other. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By kazoo on Thursday, April 10, 2003 - 00:07 pm: this cuteness is killing me hello little milkdud...you don't know me, but I am one of your fans from around the world...we're so happy you've finally arrived. |
|
pffffft. i refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of this thread. |
|
Here. As opposed to there. (I've done my part...) |
(BTW, did you change "two" (deux) into "gods" (dieux) on purpose?) |
|
ewwwww. let's hope not. |
This has made me think....in Italian, God is Dio, but I don't know the word for "gods." "Dii" would be silly. I need to look this up. |
I called my dad and asked him -- it's "dei" (it's irregular). |
dei-o daylight come and me wan go home |

|
Now I've got to put my mind to learning Spanish. I've got one of those CDs to learn it on the computer somewhere around here. Must dig it out. The guy has a voice that's deeper than James Earl Jones on it. Tough to teach an old dog new languages though. |
Did you ever get to the Dinosaur in Syracuse? |

eri, i can't come for your birthday. if it's this weekend, i'm having a yard sale tomorrow and i gotta sell my old car this weekend too. if it's next weekend, i'm volunteering for a BBBS event. not going to houston as originally planned. happy birthday, and i hope you have a great time! we will get together one of these days! |
It was a year ago on Sunday when Sem took me on the date which would make me regret telling him that I only wanted to be friends. I can't believe we've been together for a year. That is pretty incredible considering my sad history with dating and long distance relationships. And now the truth comes out: In a few weeks it will be a year since I discovered these boards (on my own) and started reading with amazement everything that was being said about me. Imagine dating someone new and having access to all that stuff...yeah it was pretty fucked up. |
We'll have fun. I haven't been dancing (where I wasn't getting hit on constantly by drunk, butch women) in a LONG time, so it will be fun. That is, as long as I don't have to listen to her praise the jerk she got back together with. Kazoo, my husband was posting here for over a year before I stumbled across it, and looking back at some of the stuff he said, well, I understand completely. We are approaching our 7 year marker of our first date later this month! 7 years, damn it seems like longer!!!! I am hyped. I get my birtday present tonight. The whole family is going to have to stay up and watch it with me until I am tired of it! It will probably be on my television at least once a day until the end of summer! I am such a nut! |
|
I can't remember what Sem told me, but how long are you going to be in Atlanta? We were told it is the closest big city to where we are being transferred to. I might have to bug you to come visit instead of Sarah! |
|
|
|
some thing sparked that question but i can't remember what that thing was. maybe it'll return later. sweet release -- my mind slips away. |
there's a difference. only sheila would know. tomorrow is the yard sale. four blondes, four estates, free cookies. it's all taking place at my house. tonight jules, marrilee, and i drank a LOT of various alchologic beverages, made signs to nail up arond the neighborhood in the morning, and priced our junk and linstened to the ninja tune CD and belly danced in the dining room. they and autumn will arrive around 7:30 on the morning with the rest of their stuff and we'll drink mimosas, eat chocolate covered espresso beans, and set everything up and get ready for a rock n roll yard sale. all four of us are dressing in costumes. marrilee and jules will be doing real fire spinning, i'm going to hula hoop, and autumn will be DJing. i am not making this up. sunday evening is my date with glen. glen was way over the top fliring with me the night before which took me by surprise. the other two times we met he was slightly aloof, but we were in bigger social gatherings. last night was intimate. he is a flatterer, very sexy. he has a five year old girl, Ellie. her mother didn't want to marry Glen - she's a republican lawyer, he's a democratic business analyst. he's going to call tomorrow, and sunday he's taking me on a walk through hide park to pick and smell wildflowers. he wants to visit my garden. i don't know. i could like this guy. there are so many frogs, and just a rare few that make it interesting, that make it hard to sleep at night. he's one of those. |
when it was an act of its on. "did you finger her?" sounds crude now, but at one point in time, it had its merit, it was a notable notch on the bed post. finger. remember that? |

Patrick, what's the deal with that website? Do you have to pay? Do you just create an account and then upload your photos, or is it more involved? |
|
i've been waiting 5 years for this. |
|
|
you gotta respect that fact that you can show me a pic of a horses ass, say it was you, and id crush over you regardless. so on with spider. |
Anyway, I've given the directions for that site to my friend with the digital camera, so you may soon be seeing |
|
you've seen ME! |
I'll see what I can do. |
Let's see the goods! |

patrick, your baby girl is so beautiful it almost hurts to look at her. i thought i wanted to have babies until my sister had her first baby 3 weeks ago. i talked to her on the phone a few days a week, and oh the horror stories. she said she can't wait to go back to work. work will seem like being on vacation to her compared to what she's doing now. i mean, she loves it, but wow. i mean, wow. i'm finally grokking the seriousness of it. how much it changes every little itsy bitsy thing about your life. i mean, i can barely handle my commute to work. |
im surprised at such a sentiment from a new mother. don't let your sister freak you out about it. its not that overwhelming. |
|
eva was never even close to being a colic baby, so yeah, I can imagine how one of those would effect your psyche. i saw a bit on the history channel this weekend about a common military interrogation technique is to play a tape loop of a baby crying for hours on end. as a new parent, you are already running on mojo juice for the first few months, add incessant crying to the mix...man. but colic doesnt really show itself until a few of months of life. yeah. im betting your sister will have a different outlook very soon. |
of course, then she had Kevin. Know what Kevin's security blanket was? My mother's lip. Seriously, he would hold onto her lip when she held him and not let go until he feel asleep. Eventually, he outgrew that, but still...strange. He would also cry if anyone but my mother held him. |
|
were your kids always twitchy when trying to be put down? im really trying to eva on a sleep structure and she's proving a little difficult. In general, she sleeps at night well, once she's asleep. Sometimes, however, getting her to sleep a little more tough. Sometimes, when its so apparent she exhausted and approaching a meltdown, she twitches and kicks squirms. sometimes i have to gently hold her still, despite her protests, so she can give herself a chance to fall asleep. lately, the worst is, when she wakes up 5,6am-ish and she comes in the bed with us. even though she needs another hour of sleep, sometimes she its such a squirmy tyke...taking to even trying to stand on her head, for real. she kicks, lays on her belly and the props herself up only to drop like some silly wrestler. literally, both of us have bruises from this kid and her thrashings. the paranoid in me wonders if this is indicative of some sort of.....i dont know what. but im just wondering if other parents had to do this at times with their kids. that is super cuddle them to get them to sleep/ and kazu...eva does that. she grabs for your face. jams a finger your nose, pinches your lips, digs her nails into cheek when she's falling asleep. i understand you parents spider. the sleep deprivation can strain any marital relationship. and it certainly did ours. you arent as rational as you want to be at 3am on 2 hours sleep. its easy to fuck up and say the wrong thing in those times. |

Does Eva have really fine hair? it just seems like she doesn't have much, but I figured that was an illusion due to fine hair. For the record, I was a good baby as well. My brother was a demon. Watch out for the second child! |
|
(eh, no coffee = bad funny) |
im positive there wont be a second child. |
The thing with my brother, is that he just held on to her lip, he didn't poke and scratch, he grabbed the lip and held on, until he fell asleep. And only with my mother. It was, literally, his security blanket. And guess which one of the Simzoo Siblings gots attachment issues? |
I needs me some tea. |

in fact, i think it was sem. though, it was said to me, via kazu. good assertion sem. 2 nights ago i was working the darkroom on some images i snapped of her this weekend. they are prolific to me. i dont use that lightly. i only wish i had a scanner so I could show you. I found myself, repeatedly saying outloud to myself "oh my god". I was and continue to be at awe at her beauty. well, i took a digital image of the proofsheets, just so i could share. they came out darker and generally shitty, but the content still comes through reasonably well. Now I admit, her mother, has the better looks. But at the same time, i can be put my modesty aside and admit that though Im no knock out, im dont have a butta face either. Last night i thought about the impact I will have on her, being photographed so much. Will she ever resent me in some unforseen aspect? I need to read more about Sally Mann and her kids. She photographed them all the time, even in the buff, when they were kids....as in 5-10 years old. Now of course many people in the art world and outside of it were disturbed by these images, equating them to child porn and what not. Of course they were anything but. But we all know, people like to apply their own hang ups and predispositions to other people, especially other people's art. http://www.sallymann.org/index-1.html No i have an Aperture quarterly issue in which Jesse (one of Sally's daughters) recalls her experiences in a very favorable light. kalli, recently shared that she was/is friends with Jesse Mann has iterated as much. That it was no big deal. But I suspect that has a lot do with the fact that the camera and mom were there all the time. Shooting 8x10 format photography is time consuming, meticulus process. Those cameras can weight up to 50lbs. Getting the exposure takes several reads. In otherwords. Her kids had to pose and pose for many many minutes at a time. Its not like 35mm photography. My thoughts also led me to the idea that perhaps she will become a model or actress of some sort. In other words, using her beauty to cash in. But then again, she has proven, repeatedly to us, she is smart as a fucking tack. Maybe she will gyrate towards a life path of a more cerebral pursuits in which her beauty is arbitrary. Am I sounding shallow? I worry about that. All i know, and I hope this isnt it a mistake, but her beauty, in her short life thus far has consistently mesmerized me. I expect that to continue (of course right?) I hope this expectations and subsequently the pictures dont ever manifest themself into some sort of complex that hurts her. naturally Id never want that. anywhere, here are the few images that have me reeling recently. again, the quality is nothing as it appears here. http://www.printroom.com/ViewAlbumPhoto.asp?userid=waffleboy&album_id=179528&image_id=4 http://www.printroom.com/ViewAlbumPhoto.asp?userid=waffleboy&album_id=179528&image_id=5 http://www.printroom.com/ViewAlbumPhoto.asp?userid=waffleboy&album_id=179528&image_id=6 http://www.printroom.com/ViewAlbumPhoto.asp?userid=waffleboy&album_id=179528&image_id=7 |

i had a shoot over the weekend and rented this massive flash unit. its highly sophisticated in its light dispersal. no hot spots, even, diffused lighting and it coordinates with my camera in a millisecond as not over, or under expose the image. its a near $1k unit. Thats lost in these particular jpgs. oh well. I shouldnt worry so much. |
I hope that if Eva pulls some whack shit on you guys in the future, you find it in your heart to be as creative with punishments as these people are. beautiful. |

like the guy who was selling the wedding dress. all make believe! |
