Baby Do's & Don'ts

One of the nice things about the WGA strike was that me and Gina were able to spend more time with each other. Consequently (or maybe not) we are going to have a baby! It's going to be a girl, and her name is going to be Sophie. She's due August 18th. We have a lot to learn between now and then. Thankfully, our friend Brian sent us these tips...

Hmmm... A crate worked great for Daisy.

Everyone knows a microwave works faster than a dryer.

We don't even have fish, so that one's not really helpful.

We only shop at places that have those ridiculous, huge, plastic cars/carts for kids to ride in.

Is there actually ever a time that you want to wake a baby?

I don't know about this last one. A little drink always calms me down.

Snow Day

Last week was our 2nd Wedding anniversary. We celebrated by driving up to the snow.

Heading up the Angeles Crest Highway, it took us about a half hour for us to feel like we were in a Winter Wonderland. One of the things we love about LA is how many awesome places you can get to in less than an hour.
We took an awesome hike. Daisy loved the snow.


Actually, I'm not sure Daisy even realized she was walking on snow. She was just happy to be outside.

The entire hike was so scenic.

We came upon this phonebooth, buried in the snow.

Newcomb's Ranch is exactly 26 miles up from Foothill Blvd. We stopped there for lunch. They have great food, and Craftsman beer on tap. Usually we sit outside, but the patio was covered with snow.

It was a wonderful day, and I bet we didn't even spend 20 bucks. We even built a snowman! (or is that a snow-woman?)

Little man. Big heart. Bad clothes.

Dial 'N' For Nice Try

This months Vanity Fair features photos recreating scenes from classic Hitchcock movies using contemporary actors and actresses. Here's what Dial 'M' For Murder might look like if Charlize Theron starred in it.

Here is Scarlett Johansen and Javier Bardem in Rear Window. It's not as taboo as remaking Rear Window with Chrostopher Reeves, but it still seems like a bad idea.


Putting Renee Zellweger and Vertigo in the same sentence is like putting mayonnaise on my ice cream.

However, Seth Rogan in North By Northwest is inspired.

If you wish To Catch A Thief starred Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow, then I encourage you to check out the rest of the magazine. For a better time, I encourage you to stay home and watch the original.

Dog 'Do

It's hard to tell, because our puppy is too dark to photograph, but Daisy got a haircut this week.

We had her trimmed way down, and left her with a Mohawk (or faux-hawk) on top. The groomer was ecstatic to give Daisy a punk 'do, and did a great job. We never realized how skinny Daisy was until we saw her all-clean-shaven. Maybe we don't feed her enough. The bow in her hair has disappeared, and it's a distinct possibility that she ate it.
