El Sombrero Delicioso

Here is an artist’s rendering of what el sombrero delicioso might look like today, if I had not shot it out of a cannon into oncoming traffic … on fire.

Velveeta Really Knows How to Stick
19 Oct
I had never seen Velveeta in its natural state before last night. Here’s a fact: Velveeta is disgusting. Here’s another fact: Velveeta is fantastic. I accept its dual nature; there are many things (I’m looking at you, network television) that I both hate and love.
Fall Weather is Afoot
15 Oct
I have been waiting for this weekend since March. Finally signs hint that the oppressive heat of Summer is on the wane. I’m just taking the weather folks at their word, seeing as it is still hot and muggy, but if predictions are to be believed, tomorrow afternoon will be sunny and cool.
Video Girl
13 Oct
Excitement abounds at ENfRPH headquarters. A crew are, as I write, filming a scene for the upcoming feature “Video Girl” just three houses down our street. What we can glean from a little internet research leads us to understand that Meagan Good stars as a young woman from Baton Rouge whose career in classical dance [...]
Since When is “Cheap and Creepy” the Same as “Scary?”
4 Oct
The robopetters went to Target today and the holiday section was rife with tacky, loud and downright pointless Halloween crap. I realized that the spookiest part of most motorized ghoulie garbage is the low grinding of plastic gears and the blown-out audio coming from the speakers.

He has employed various means including, but not limited to: doors, floors, walls, bats, cats, slides, shoes and concrete. This time it was a rock lodged in his head that prompted a worried call and an MMS from his [...]

Taking His Lumps
Children, especially toddlers, have tiny bodies with great, huge, heavy heads, and very little good sense.

Today, though, it was another kid who stepped in front [...]

I Love My New Camera
I got my birthday present a week or so early (Thanks, Mrs. G!). It’s a fantastic Digital SLR camera. And while I still love taking lo-fi shots with my phone, I am really happy to have the opportunity to try my hand at portraiture. Now if that new portrait lens would somehow find its way [...]

My Kid Can Count to Six
Tiny, who’ll be 21 months old Thursday (that’s “almost two” for people who favor solar age above lunar), saw some change on a chair in my bedroom this morning and became very excited. He really enjoys putting coins in his piggy bank, so I told him he could have them if he helped me count [...]
