Oh, why not... here are some pictures of our babies from various holiday in the last half-year or so:

Anyone still reading this?  I won't quite call this journal officially dead, but let's say it's in a coma and the chances of recovery are small.  If you want to keep up with me (Did you know we have twin babies now? No joke!) you can find me on the Facebook.  Look for me by my actual name, which I'm going to write backwards here just to foil search ( Read more... )

The internet is hard! Here's another attempt to share my album cover. I've honestly spent more time working on this image than I've spent listening to music all year. That may not even be an exaggeration. It's just really hard to find music I like. Except Industrial Piercing. I don't know how I would have survived those early difficult years ( Read more... )

Even if they do steal away our chefs and their founder is allegedly a big doofus (I'm told he makes Larry look like Sergey...), I'm still trying to give Facebook a fair chance and not hate them. But sometimes they make it so hard.

I hate when I'm out at a restaurant with people and I get up to go to the bathroom, either to pee or wash my hands, and it's one of those places where they have only one bathroom for one person at a time, and there's someone in the bathroom already plus another person waiting ahead of me.  That adds an extra 6 or 7 minutes to what should be a 60 ( Read more... )

Wouldn't it be wild if I posted to my LJ once a day in 2009?  It's a nice thought, except it's already 2 hours into January 2, 2009 so I'm not off to a particularly auspicious start.  I was thinking though-- on January 1, 2009 no less-- that "Scott" is a pretty common first name, and "Free" is an unusual but not totally implausible last name.  So ( Read more... )

If you expect to receive a holiday letter from Kathy and me you might want to stop reading now so as not to ruin the surprise. Otherwise, I guess we don't like you enough so this is all you get.

Hey, I just made up a joke...

Q: What does Dakota Fanning call her vagina?
[answer below]

Before I get to the answer, Kathy suggested that I post the following. Where I work (Google) we have an internal "for-sale" mailing list where people post messages about the things they want to buy or sell. A few weeks ago I posted this message:

Free: 100 yards ( Read more... )

I saw this about a month ago via first_lobster and I just can't let it go.
