So Evan can crawl now. Yep, my son is now officially one of the forwardly mobile youth who will go forth and scare the crap out of his parents on a daily basis. Kimberly called me up at work to say that after many weeks of successfully crawling/scooting backwards, Evan can now amble forth on his own, albeit slowly and with much face-planting.

Now we get to be extra anal about picking up the dog food and rawhide chews that Lily drags out on the floor where Evan likes to play.

Today was a banner day for Evan! Kimberly and I were woken up by him this morning but he wasn’t crying… he was saying “Dada” over and over. Of course, this brought much happiness to me since I’ve been trying to get him to say it for about a month now. Then a few hours later we were all sitting on the floor in our living room and he sat up all by himself and stayed there playing for a bit.

Later on we had a friends son, Andrew, come over and do some yard work for us. But a little bit before he came over I was walking past Kimberly and Evan to head out into the garage when Evan lifted his hand (pointing in my direction) and said “Dada”. That, too, was pretty darned cool!

Trash talkin’ during ping-pong gets funny. Again.

Team 1 Player 1: OK, so the score is 1-9, your favor.
Team 1 Player 2: Damn!
Team 2 Player 1: (To Team 1 Player 1) Yeah, good going there, “Skills McFadden”.
Team 2 Player 2 (me): Laughing Did you just say “Skills McFadden”? What the hell is that about?
T1P1: Is that supposed to be like “Gates McFadden“?
T1P2: (Looking puzzled at his team mate)
T2P1: Yeah!
T1P2: Dude, at least she’s hot!
All but T1P2: (Laughing hysterically at the comment made by T1P2)
T2P2: I guess you must be Wesley then… you’re Wil Wheaton!
T2P1: Yeah… you’re “Skills Wheaton”!

The phrase “Skills Wheaton” made us all laugh hysterically.

So it looks like Evan has his first tooth showing now. He was chewing on my arms, legs, and shoulders a little more than normal this morning and I didn’t notice any teeth; but my mom just called me and told me she saw his first tooth on his bottom jaw in the middle.

Scott Kurtz of PVP Online hits the nail on the head in regards to Neverwinter Nights.

A friend from work just showed me his box containing “Neverwinter Nights“, that is! It just went gold a few days ago, and it’s not supposed to be on the shelves yet. This is great news considering my Icewind Dale II pre-order has been bumped back until the end of August.

This will be the greatest game that ever was… of course, I said the same thing about Ultima Online when it first came out too. But UO: Lord Blackthornes Revenge looks good.

Television today seems like a hodge-podge of titles already, so here are a few mashups that I came up with using pre-existing shows:

• “When the Planets Funniest Animals Attack
• “Malcolm in the Dark Angel
• “America’s Most Wanted Cops
• “Who Wants to be the Weakest Link
• “Xena the Vampire Slayer
• “Everybody Loves Queens
• “Sex and the Sopranos
• “The Dharma & Greg & Drew Carey Show
• “CSI: Friends

Overheard as I walked past the C++ developer’s offices.

A well-known cardiologist died, and an elaborate funeral was planned. A huge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service. Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.

At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When confronted, he said, “I’m sorry. I was just thinking of my own funeral…. I’m a gynecologist.”
