Smile for the Camera!
Can you see the the Jean-Luc Picard influence here? Soon, she’ll say “Make it So” when asked if she wants a boob or a diaper change.
“Stardate, -315805.38070776267*. I made a poopy!”
*and yes, I’m dorky enough to want to make the stardate entry accurate.

Can You Babysit? How Old is She? Uh…
I got home from work the other day, and there was Jill, totally captivated by a colorful piece of mail. What was it? Why, an update on the San Diego Comic-Con, of course!
For those that don’t know, through the years Jill and I have made our annual pilgrimage to San Diego umpteen times in order to immerse ourselves in all things geeky. However, during that time, Jill would always joke that I was the “real goob” and that she was just there for the (all expenses paid) ride.
Uh-huh.
Anyway, sometime during the 2005 con, I got fed up with the crowds (we’re talking 100,000+ people here) and said to her “no way are we coming back here for 2006! There are way too many people here!” I remember her looking at me as if I’d just told her “Kittens have been outlawed!” Hmmm. Anyway, I kept my scrooge-like promise and we didn’t attend the ’06 convention.
Fast-Forward to now…
As she flipped through the update, with only slightly less excitement than that Nintendo 64 kid, Jill finally dropped her tattered guise of insouciance and revealed her true colors:
“We’re definitely going to the con this year!”
“You wouldn’t let us go last year. YOU’RE MEAN!”
“We’ll need to get a babysitter!”
Yep, Jill was so excited about attending this year’s con that she was already scheming on how to snag a babysitter for her UNBORN BABY!
Nice. I can imagine July already…
“Yes sir, that’s my wife–the one in the Boba Fett costume.”

$17,199 to $0
Exciting couple that we are, Jill and I have been playing Jeopardy on the old-school Playstation 2 tonight. $17,199 to ZERO was the final score of the game we just completed. Basically, I dominated the wheezer in the PJ’s big-time.
Even the game’s automated player, #3, beat Jill! Can you say “loser”? Mrs. C was actually complaining non-stop about how #3 “was cheating” during the entire game, and that #3 and Alex Trebek were “in cahoots”. Right.
Whatta dork.
*Disclaimer: In Jill’s defense, I’m lucky the Jeopardy makers always seem to stick in a token “Movies”-type category in every game. As long as there’s a category for silly stuff along the lines of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “comic books”, or “french fries”, I’ll have a chance!
