Coming out from a hole.

So 2010 is off to a weird start.

Funny as this is supposed to be my year in many ways. The year of the tiger.

12 years ago I got a tattoo. A tiger.  An imprint on skin of the values and strength that being born in the year of the tiger is supposed to portend. Strength, charisma, a ferocious energy and general independence and bravery – these are Tiger characteristics.

These are the qualities I aspire to embody again this year.

The last year or so I’ve felt I was in hibernation a lot. Some of it due to the gestation and lot due to the nonstop transitions that left me off kilter.  I’m hoping to correct this soon and with great vigor.

I’ve decided to make some changes in my life this next year.

The first off is removing myself from distractions that leave me drudgy and isolated. This means weaning myself off of warcraft and being at home too much alone with the baby.  This means being out and about with her, along with re-connecting with friends near and far that I haven’t made enough effort to sync up with.

Museum and Zoo annual memberships are in queue.

Additionally walking more and being less physically sedentary.  A week and a half ago when the weather was nicer I walked in total about 10 miles. From our home to downtown Sausalito.  It felt good and it was noticeable how caged in I felt last week by comparison when the weather made it prohibitive to be out.

Additionally I’m looking into investing my energies back into projects and activities that I enjoy.  I hope to start going back to KSW events, I’m looking forward to SXSW where I will be presenting again at the annual “How to Rawk Out at SXSW” panel with copanelists Ben Huh, Jeremy Keith, and Denise Jacobs.  I’ll also be performing at this year’s 20×2, thus themed “Who Loves You, Baby”.

And new projects and tasks include teaching myself to sew and possibly starting a new business related around the sewing and creation of Podaegis (A Korean Baby wrap carrier).

All good things that will help me sharpen my claws again.  2010. Year of the Tiger.

Ready? Here I come.

Baby Fashion WTF

Baby fashion is typically pretty fun.
I mean, Amelia’s entire wardrope is pink and girly and includes rainbows and animals and ruffles and flowers and penguins and puppies. So there’s a lot to be enjoyed from dressing her up for outtings.

Granted, she’s no slave to fashion and not particularly fussy about what her mother tries to dress her up in.
I mean, see Exhibit A. Beautiful Clown Baby and mouse over the fashion notations.

Beautiful Clown Baby
But come *on*. Skinny hipster jeans for a baby?
Why cover up Amelias luscious chubby little kissable legs in skinny jeans?
Why maker her cute thighs feel like squished sausage links before her first birthday?

Seriously people? Skinny Jeans for baby?
Shame on you.

I will miss you so much, my friend.

I am glad for my memories of you.
Of laughing and joking at the lobby of the Omni.
Of giggling over Shiners and sharing a catty bon mot.
Of seeing you smile effortlessly and being warm and wonderful.

I will miss you so much.
