Also the way they recorded drums and mixed them was different – they didn't overpower everything else like they do today.

I always liked Stewart Copeland's snare sound in The Police. Tight, cut through the mix, but didn't overpower everything.

Favorite drummer of all time is Vinnie Colaiuta. He can do it all.

Stuart Copeland is a good one too, forgot about him. I like Phil Collins, but his drumming overpowers his music.

My wife informs me that we have at least one of the velcro type, which I did not know existed until you mentioned it.

It is difficult. You can tell that I didn't do it for that pic.

I'm all about the velcro.

The trick is to tuck in each corner. The first under the arm, then the bottom under the shoulder, and the last one under the body.

The velcro ones are definitely easier.


Also, Happy New Year fellas!

Did you get to change the first diaper? Isn't that just the worst thing ever? I asked for a spatula.

I did. Perhaps you missed the post about it. Black tar, it was.

I lost count of how many I've changed long ago. That first one was followed up by two more in the span of about 20 minutes.

She is actually silently sleeping now and I may be missing a rare opportunity to get something resembling sleep myself, but my wife is in the shower so awake, I am

Nice. Throw that baby in the nursery and get some sleep!

[Farley1324]

Depending on how things go, that's the plan. There are a couple of things scheduled for her 24 hour mark (around 03:20). Plan is to send her to the nursery after that if we haven't got a measurable amount of sleep by then.

Of course, I realize that we are hoping to get a grand total of like 3 hours of sleep over the course of 3 days/2 nights.

I should get some property in Australia and spend time there during the lame summers here though.

Onward, to hopes of new pizzas in 2013.

Mexicana? Surf & Turf? Tandoori Chicken?
Goddamnit, Australia. This is not how things were supposed to start out.

I'm no pizza snob since I'll eat anything when I'm hungry, which is right now, but I'd rank Pizza Hut at the absolute bottom of the fast food scale.

Back in Germany. Back on my sh*tty laptop. will be transitioning to another sh*tty HP laptop. As I finally replaced my dead Dell company Laptop. So I'll give this unclass contract laptop back. I already miss my tower. Only a month or two of this though adn I'll be good.

Watched a few movies on the flight.

Premium Rush - Joseph Gordon Levitt is a bicycle messenger in NYC going against the guy who was the one-eared redneck from Bad Boys 2, who is a dirty cop in this movie. Not a bad movie, but although it is only 90 minutes, it seems much longer. It doesn't drag, per se, but it definitely isn't fast paced. It is like the anti-thesis of Smokin' Aces, that feels like 60 minutes while being nearly 2 hours.

X-Men: First Class - pretty damn compelling movie. I give it to them. They did this one right. Definitely much better than the horsesh*t that was Origins: Wolverine. I do wish they would've had Xavier and Magneto in the concentration camp together, since IIRC, they were always written as being as such. But overall, the movie was pretty damn awesome. I plan to hit wiki to check the accuracy of the placement of some characters and also figure out who Sebastian Shaw was (I think I know, but am blanking). They even referenced Stryker and his son, signalling they purposely left that avenue open for sequels.
+ The kid who played Havok, was Golden Arm in Blue Mountain State!

Also watched "the Watch". No clue what to expect going into it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Movie was cut off with about 10-15 minutes left as the plan was landing but meh. Quite a few points had me chuckling out loud.

RE: Sleeping

We sent her to the nursery this morning and got somewhere between 2.5 and 3 hours of continuous, uninterrupted sleep.

Originally we were likely to leave Wed morning, not as sure now, depends what goes on with her bilirubin does.

My wife's mom, the first one to fly in for a little while after birth, called yesterday to tell us that the flight she grabbed arrives today at 1:35.

Congrats Farles! What a way to start the new year!!! Take advantage of any and all family members that want to help you with that baby. More babysitters means more sleep!


I am running a "biggest loser" contest for my friends and family. 20 dollars in, 8 weeks, winner gets the pot.

I am hoping to drop 10 pounds before my 46th birthday in Feb.

Anyone got any new 2013 goals other than Shouples pizza ventures?

Pizza Hut around here is rather disgusting. I rather do Domino's, or Papa John's.
