I also went to a special place just for kids called "Chuck E. Cheese's" to celebrate my 2nd birthday. There were lots of kids there just like me who came to play and have a good time. I heard that it is a great place to celebrate your birthday and after being there for a while, I think so too. There was a big sliding board that I liked and lots of other fun things to do and ride on. I even rode in a car with Barney! My Mommy told me that she went to a lot of birthday parties there when she was a little girl. When it was time to eat, we had something that is definitely on my list of favorites... pizza! Here are some pics that we took at Chuck E. Cheese's. Grammy said that you can click on the logo above for more information, just in case you want to take your kids there. Tell them that The Booga Wooga said, "It's a really fun place to go!"
Maybe Dr. Evil isn't so evil after all...I went in this morning for fasting blood work, plus my annual pelvic and pap (yeee-ouch!). I also got my IUD out. This is the second IUD I've had, and I love them as a form of birth control. It allows for total spontaneity, there are no hormonal effects, and the side effects, for me, are minor. So why did I get it removed?Because Harley and I are going to get pregnant!Well, I'm going to get pregnant. Harley's going to get me pregnant. And I better stop there, because this blog is PG-rated. :DWe have four kids total - but the oldest two are mine from a previous marriage, teenagers (almost 18 and almost 15) who live with their father. Harley and I have two children together, and they're 5 and 6 now. I'm 37, and edging into that gray area of fertility, and we had to decide - are we really done? Do we want more kids? So...we're having another one!I was so nervous about going into this doc for an exam, and even more anxious to tell her I wanted to ge

I really thought the pouting thing was going to hurt Clinton. I had hoped that it might even be her “Dean scream.” It was certainly worse than what he did. She was taking a swipe at Obama — implying that if he wins the presidency the country might “fall backwards” — while she [...]
Hey Penguins!The New Years surprise is here and it is . . . Fireworks! You can find the fireworks at the Iceberg or the Top of the Mountain!Also, if you look in the Telescope that's in the Beacon, a chunk of ice will float by! What is this? I think it means that we will be able to tip the Iceberg soon! Here is a little secret: In October, Club Penguin got some Beta Testers like Fano and they told them to test the Iceberg! The Beta Testers went to the Iceberg and tested something that Club Penguin will put in the game soon. It was tipping the Iceberg! Club Penguin has not launched tipping the Iceberg but, is this a sign? Who knows?

Christmas surprise has kid getting phone book instead of PS3Filed under: News How was your Christmas? Hopefully, it was better than this kids'. A local FOX News report highlights one kid's unfortunate ordeal. Upon opening his PS3 box, he found a very heavy phone book, no PS3 in sight! Granted, a phone book has tons of replayability. But, it just doesn't play games as well as a real PS3. The family will be going back to the store they bought the system from. But, what possible explanation will the store be able to come up with?

Xbox Live Arcade turns two on November 22nd, a fact of which Microsoft is very much aware, says XBLarcade.com, going on to say that an "inside source" at the company has given word that some "huge" festivities are in the works:If everything goes well (it seems everyone has to worry about certification these days), next week we will be playing the "true" sequel to the biggest XBLA title to date.Hot damn, TotemBall 2! Take all of this with a certain amount of salt, though--XBLarcade also figured the birthday doings would mark the debut of XBLA's 100th game, but that actually happens this week, not next, with the addition of Shrek N Roll and Screwjumper.Source: Game|LifeMore News:Capcom Rebalancing Street Fighter II's HD DebutTimeShift XBox 360 Multiplayer Demo Available on MarketplaceUnreal Tournament 3 multiplayer powered by GameSpy Online Games Microsoft XBLA Xbox Live birthday festivities videogame

I'm very pleased to present you the gift I found this morning in a nice colorful yellow and red envelope: a desert cookbook. Ok people it's in French but I am very happy like a kid unwrapping a birthday package.A blogger fellow of mine Isa launch a nice game through what we call here, in France, "la blogosphère" (meaning the blog community): sending a cookbook to a fellow blogger she picked and on the nice gesture receiving back one from a surprise fellow food blogger. She named her name Ze BlogBook. -Ze because as you know in France we do have trouble with the prononciation of: THE :-)The mysterious sender is Lucyna blogging on Zapbook.I'm not sure how she discovered my sweet tooth :-) may be, I just say may be -look at my angel smile- she read my French blog "La cuisine de Babeth" which features a loooot of sweet treats.I just browsed through it but it look very well done with desserts for each seasons. Stay tuned for live tests of those recipes!

There are many reasons why unilaterally attacking Iran is a stupid idea, but one of them is because of the alliance they have formed with other nations in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (here is a prior post with more information – I realize our corporate media thinks it’s more important to tell us about the latest celebrity nonsense than to tell us exactly what is going on with the SCO).This Philadelphia Inquirer online story tells us here that Mahmoud AhMADinejad, attending the SCO summit for the second straight year with leaders of Russia and China, criticized Bushco’s plans for missile defense in Europe (the whole thing is a costly Trojan Repug horse that has never amounted to anything except a bigger payday for Repug-simpatico defense contractors), and our buddy Vlad Putin chimed in also, saying that "any attempts to solve global and regional problems unilaterally are hopeless."Also, this story tells us that Chinese President Hu Jintao flew from Kyrgyzstan to Chelyabi

The Blotter - A new al Qaeda propaganda ad, headlined "Wait for the Big Surprise" and featuring a digitally altered photograph of President George Bush and Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf standing in front of a burning White House, was posted on the Internet. The brief clip from al Qaeda's "as Sahab" propaganda arm juxtaposes the doctored photo of Bush and Musharraf along with previously seen images of al Qaeda's top leadership -- Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahri and Adam Gadahn -- as well as a photo of an SUV in a motorcade. There is no additional information provided in the ad, and it closes with the words, "Soon -- God willing," written across the screen and repeated several times.

Just after i wrote the previous post, my landline phone rang. I figured "Damn, its my brother's girlfriend again!" Then a smooth, silky voice sounded a big ring on my ears, "hello, is Mr. Kirby there?". . . I thought it was a prank call and i had the notion that it was just another guy friend trying to make fun of me. But it wasnt! It was Erin from ClickBooth.com verifying my membership. She was nice and soft-spoken. Me and my dirty thoughts! I forgot to mention on my posts that I signed up for ClickBooth just 2 days ago. Its an ad provider that offers one of the Highest Paying programs on the internet. I remembered indicating my landline number on the registration form. Never thought in my wildest dream someone is going to call me to verify my application! But all was well taken cared of; she asked about my blog and what kinda ads im going to include on it. The conversation wasnt really that long but it was a good one. She ended up saying she's going to confirm my registration and
You know how I have that strained relationship with yeast? Well, I think that relationship might be on the mend. We have never worked well together before but now things are looking up for us and we might actually make a great team. How do I know this? Well, by the way that these brioches have turned out (a big cheesy big cheesy grin erupts on my face).These are my first ever attempt at brioche. I always thought that they were quite complex to make, but then I thought about it and wondered why I ever hesitated in making them in the first place. Okay, so croissants are complex and puff pastry doesn't even seem to be in my capacity right now, but in comparison brioche is a cinch. And I'm not getting ahead of myself, nor am I overestimating my ability and I am by no means a yeast-baking expert. This post is merely an expression of exclaimed joy and astonishment over how successful this current yeast venture has been. Especially when most times the opposite has been the case.Most of those
Apparently Rebecca Romijn (ex wife of John Stamos) married Jerry O'Connell Saturday. I knew these two were engaged but this was a surprise and I try to keep up with the gossip. Congrats to the happy couple. Now they need to pop out a couple of adorable kids. They seem happy. Jerry O'Connell is such a cutie and so funny. I enjoyed the classic farting camel scene in Kangaroo Jack, but then again I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy.
With friends and family arriving in Paris for their wedding on Saturday, Tony Parker swept Eva Longoria off for a surprise Fourth of July visit to one of the world’s most romantic sites. On Tuesday afternoon, the couple stole off from their Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome suite, heading out to the Paris Heliport to fly to a mystery destination.
“It was Tony’s surprise.” “It was all his idea. He arranged it all – and Eva had no idea where she was headed.” Their destination, in fact, was France’s picturesque Mont Saint-Michel, a 6th-century medieval citadel nestled within a large sea-fed inlet bay celebrated for its isolation and captivating views. The location is so unusual that it was classified a world heritage site by UNESCO in l979 and is France’s third most visited attraction.
After landing in the Normandy region, 250 miles from Paris, the couple arrived for dinner around 8 p.m. at the historic walled village’s redoubtable La Mèr
Salinda had apologized at her own intiation last night for being so ugly to me, so I went to bed fairly relieved and calm. I got up to find Tony completely ready for church. Jimmy and Rand have already left, having volunteeered to serve at a benefit breakfast at church this morning. So this is looking to be a fairly easy pre-church morning.Looks like Bart and I will both be able to go to Ricardo's soccer game this afternoon, which will be fun. It's a beautiful day outside.Kari already blogged about last night's drama. We're thinking about buying Durabond directly from a medical supply company in bulk for Dominyk. His hand is going to be fine.It will be nice to be back into the routine tomorrow -- kids in summer school, me in my office getting things done, everything back on an even keel.Knock on Wood.
So, then, who was Mark Ronson's big surprise guest?Daniel Merriweather. The bloke who helped him murder the Smiths.Oh.Meanwhile, The Guardian asks Will Young questions and finds out he's got a Winnebago to sleep in. They neglect to ask him what he's doing there.And Mrs Woman has turned in the best description of the BBC studio so far:It's not the same since Peely died, but the BBC coverage is still excellent and gets cleverer over time. Interactive viewers can run their own video jukebox of earlier performances, while this year's studios are beautifully themed with a Biba-style motif of stylised berry twigs and huge blue and green sofas. Sounds gross, but not so.Here, we think it might have been inspired, actually, by an Ikea coffee table we spotted earlier today.Elsewhere, Words Department counts the number of Guardian blog posts and wonders who's reading them.
Great cartoon! Gets closer to the truth than most would think. The so-called honorary degrees that Khatami got from the UK were essentially doing the same thing that C&F imply here...he got a formal thank you from his dearest supporters...
From ABC News: June 13, 2007 — An amusing, risqué music video, featuring a nubile young woman breathlessly singing her love for presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., appeared on the Web this week. Titled "I Got a Crush on Obama," the song and video took the Obama campaign by surprise and further demonstrated how the democratic nature of the Internet specifically Internet video on sites such as YouTube is affecting politics in unpredictable ways. "Hey, 'B,' it's me," a woman who calls herself "Obama girl" murmurs amorously into a phone at the beginning of the slow jam. "If you're there, pick up. I was just watching you on C-SPAN." The song and video goes on to poke racy fun at the way some voters have responded viscerally to both Obama's charisma and the personal nature of his political appeal. moreYou'll note the absence of the "My name is Barack Obama and I approve of this message." at the end of this one.
COROT has provided its first image of a giant planet orbiting another star and the first bit of ‘seismic’ information on a far away, Sun-like star, with unexpected accuracy.The unanticipated level of accuracy of this raw data shows that COROT will be able to see rocky planets - perhaps even as small as Earth - and possibly provide an indication of their chemical composition.The unanticipated level of accuracy of this raw data shows that COROT will be able to see rocky planets - perhaps even as small as Earth - and possibly provide an indication of their chemical composition. COROT, a CNES project with ESA participation, is a mission with a dual goal. It is the first space mission dedicated entirely to the search of extra-solar planets. It provides a wide-field survey of planets like our own at an unprecedented level of accuracy. It is also making the most comprehensive study ever of the interior of stars other than our Sun. Both objectives are achieved by analysing the behaviour of
A couple of weeks ago, we had dinner at Cookbook Kitchen*, the cafe across my sister's house. For over a year we took this place for granted although we would hear good things about it. Anton's recent post finally prompted us to try it out a couple of weeks ago. And what a pleasant experience that turned out to be! The food was delicious, the place cozy, and the service impeccable.
