Because She Loves Me Most

Apr 24. 2011

I once read that a baby will cry hardest to her mother (or the primary caretaker) because, just like adults, babies reserve their most passionate and deepest emotions for those they love most. Our household is a perfect example of this. When Claire is around me, she WILL make it known if she is displeased in the slightest bit. Whining, fussing, crying, tantrums, you name it. But when she is in the care of others she is more subdued and much less vocal. She will also only take short naps when I am watching her — which I can only guess stems from her desire to spend as much waking time as possible with me. My SIL has the pleasure of getting 2-hour...

I have not been a big fan of James Cameron's latest films (I tried soooo hard to like Avatar. I really did! But, after three failed attempts at trying to watch the movie without falling asleep, I have called it quits.) but I remain a huge dorkus over his earlier masterpieces. Aliens. The Abyss. And who can forget The Terminator and Terminator 2? I bawled like a baby the first time I watched T2.It was the very first movie I shed tears over — no joke. Well, any true fan of the Terminator franchise is familiar with Judgment Day. The day when the machines rise up against humans. The day when computers try to take over the planet. The beginning of the...

Child’s Play: A Book Bed

Apr 18. 2011

In the East, it is not uncommon for people to use thin mattresses in lieu of a bed. The mattresses are folded/rolled and stored away during the day to save space. (This is, in fact, how my family slept when we lived in Korea.) Creative photographer Yusuke Suzuki has taken this concept and transformed it to a short but fun series of photographs. The Book Bed allows you to literally crawl into the pages of a book; the pages act as blankets that you can use to keep yourself warm and cozy at night, while the bed itself can be folded/closed to create more space during the day. A short web search shows that the Book Bed is not available for sale, but...

3 Years, A Busy Weekend, and A Winner

Apr 18. 2011

Three years ago today, J and I said "I do" in front of 250 of our closest friends and family. We've certainly had our ups and downs along the way, but I wouldn't trade what we have right now for anything in the world. The amount of love and respect I have for this man has grown exponentially since we first started dating 8 years ago, and he continues to amaze me every day. It also doesn't hurt that I still catch him looking at me with the same expression as below: (photo by Danny Weiss) Happy anniversary, my love. Here's to many, many more to come. *     *     * We celebrated our anniversary this past Saturday with a lunch at my...
