The Making of A Mac Geek

It was to my great joy, upon returning home from work some weeks ago, The Sprite had not only asked for some computer time, he had managed to power the iBook up, find his Nemo game in the Dock and start playing. Brought a tear to my eye, made me so proud. Unfortunately the radiation or something got to him after a while and caused a freak out of Sean Penn proportions.

A well earned treat for everyone after a lengthy walk around San Francisco. The Sprite seemed to enjoy it the most however.

The Jellyfish at Monterey Aquarium are quite a sight. Their orange and white pigments contrast nicely with the deep blue of the tank. The Jellyfish tank resembles a living, constantly changing work of art.

Elegy To Land Lost

I awoke one morning to the sound of clanging metal and heavy equipment. Looking across the street that runs behind our house, a monster had risen from the dirt. It's steel skeleton was glowing in the morning sun, majestic and unforgiving.

Cafe Boogaloo

Our little dancing fool takes a few moments to bust out his moves while the elders of the tribe take refreshment. Unphased by passersby, he shows everyone around how to get your aquatic groove on.

First Movie & Playground Fun

Sun, 11 May 2008 02:55:30 GMT

A little while ago, we decided that The Sprite was ready for the next big test in his growth as a media consumer. He successfully graduated from Baby Einstein, to The Wiggles, to Sesame Street, to every Pixar DVD available. Now he was ready for the Big Screen.

A semi-local movie theatre has $1 movies on Sunday mornings, so we figured we would test The Sprite's ability to sit through a feature length with little financial risk. The latest Pixar gem Ratatouille was screening, so this was a no brainer to get him into. And although this was least kid-friendly movie Pixar has made to date, G did very well, sitting still throughout the show. The story was more grown-up and the characters less cuddly than previous Pixar creations, but there was planty of slapstick to keep us all giggling.

After the movie was over, The Sprite needed to burn off 2 hours of couped-up, coke-fueled energy. So we headed across the street to the park for a walk and some fun on the big slide at the playground.

Fun With Water & Leaves

On a chill but pleasent spring morning, our little Sprite finds many an amusement in the back garden wonderland of fallen leaves, puddles, dirt and all manner of things to get himself filthy dirty and soaking wet. Oh well, boys will be boys. Anyhow, it keeps him busy and occupied for a time. Even if it means we have to rake up the leaves again after the G-Express ploughed through them for the umpteenth time.
