WARNING! For mommies and daddies only!

Sophia has watched Disney's Aladdin for only the second time in her life this week. It was the last few minutes of the movie and I was standing near Sophia to stabilize her while she stood on the office spinning chair. Out of nowhere she grabs me (I thought as if to hug me) but she forces my face to come near hers. Her head is tilted to one side and she has her mouth hanging open in this strange way. I thought "What the heck is this child doing?! This is new!" In a split second it hits me, and I burst out laughing while I pull her away from me and tell her "No way!" I am still totally laughing my head off when BJ comes in and asks what is going on. I ask him what he remembers happening at the last part of Aladdin and he doesn't. I rewind it a bit and let all of us see this again. There is Jasmin and Aladdin embracing each other. First looking into each others eyes and then both their mouths hang open and they lip lock. I tell BJ "THAT is what your daughter just tried to do to me! She was totally gonna french me!" So, BJ and I get her attention and do a quick french kiss for her and explain that they were "french kissing" not simply "kissing" like we do with her. The special kiss is only for mommy's and daddy's, NOT for mommy's and daughter's to do to each other. I don't know how much of this odd Monday night lesson got through to her because she tried to do it to me again nearly an hour later. BUT what I think I have learned from this is to be even more careful with what she watches because who knows what she will want to mimic next! Yikes!

    Wow, how funny! Good for you for explaining...it would be too weird to get tongue from your two-year-old!!! I was just thinking about how careful we have to be with what Yoroko watches- even G-rated Disney stuff isn't necessarily a good idea!!

    Max only gives open mouth kisses, though sometimes he uses his teeth as well.

Running simplescalar on Ubuntu in alpha config

I have to post this for future reference as there were so many pain points just getting simplescalar running that I needed to mirror some links and consolidate some tutorials. Here's a good guide to installing simplescalar . I'll mirror some of the information from another guide that worked for me as well. The first link also contains the files you'd need to get it running. I'll also rehost them here. Here's a tutorial taken from here. Download the packages here. simplesim-3v0d.tgz simpleutils-990811.tar.gz simpletools-2v0.tgz gcc-2.7.2.3.ss.tar.gz Untar the source code into a simplesim directory mkdir simplesim (wherever you want to put this...you can name it whatever) tar xzvf (the z flag unzips a gzip file as well as untars it.... if you have straight tar files then use tar xvf ) In simpetools-2v0.tgz, there is a gcc-2.6.3 compiler. Since we don't need this, delete it. rm -rf gcc-2.6.3 Note: Before installing simple scalar package, ...

Phoebe loves shoes

OMG Shoes. Phoebe loves them. At any given moment Phoebe is either swapping shoes, trying on shoes, or digging through someone's closet for new shoes. Our recent trip to Bryan, TX to visit family, brought us to a children's play museum. There was a small selection of dress up items which of course included shoes. Phoebe immediately began prancing around in her new shoes. 59585|400 Heather wanted some pictures of Phoebe in her cousins boy clothes as well. Phoebe had run out of sleepers and needed something to wear. We got a good picture but also a picture reflecting her true feelings on wearing boys clothes. 59621|400 59615|400

I Don't Mind

I don't mind the rapid spreading contagion of nerdity (I made the word nerdity up, which I think makes me a nerd. A fact that was never in doubt). My only lament is her hesitance to adopt my music. Seriously, I listen to some awesome music. Every week I find new bands, new sounds, and every once in a while I find gold. The only problem is that I've trained myself to like the weirdest stuff I can find. For example: [audio:01-unexpect-chromatic_chimera.mp3] The band is called uneXpect. They're probably considered metal but they have a certain jazz/circus music/opera influence. They're similar to Sleepytime Guerilla Museum but much heavier. Anyway, I'm a huge fan and really have to suggest picking up their latest release In a Flesh Aquarium . I've also been doing some hunting lately and need to share the fruits of my searching. This first one is easy. It's the background music to the Gears of War commercial . Give it a look see. It's breaking d...
