little lost robot

As promised, I’m blogging about some big changes happening at LLR headquarters: the arrival of our new, baby girl, Eliza! And, I’ve wasted no time taking a photo of our photogenic little slobber monster for the blog.

It’s crazy, man. We’ve only been parents for about six hours, but we’ve packed all kinds of adventures into this afternoon. A frantic run to the Super-Target. Accidentally changing a diaper in “mid stream”. And a stressful drive down the freeway, in which I’ve already taken to venting my road rage in a delightful, I’m-talking-to-a-baby tone [“Daddy thinks this **** should pick a lane before I run him off the road.”]

We did a pretty good job at keeping our adoption plans under-the-radar until the last minute, so I’m sure there’s a ton of questions that y’all are dying to ask. Feel free. I’ll probably get around to a more lenghty baby blog post sometime this weekend [and I’ll continue to update our “Eliza comes home” photo set on Flickr]. Later!

I have so many things to blog about, but not just yet. Partly because some of the awesome stuff is top secret (how’s that for a sweeps tease?) and will be revealed later this week. Anyway, here’s some of the fabulous things I’ve been engrossed in for the past few days:

1. Sweeps promos: Now that I’m part-time in the promotions department, I’ve been churning out promos for the May war effort. So far I’ve produced: “Permanent Makeup” ; “Sex and the Bible”; and “Could Your Job Be Killing You?”

2. Special reports: The only sweeps segment I’ve been assigned this ratings book is called, “Permanent Makeup” [video link] and it’s all about women who are getting makeup tattooed onto their eyes and face, rather than apply it all day the normal way.

3. Here’s where I stand on this week’s pop culture: Still blown away by Lost. Missed this week’s BSG. Forgot to see Iron Man. Played a ton of GTA4 (mostly getting run over by Hasser online). Ashamed I’m obsessed with the polygamist ranch story (also looking forward to the next season of Big Love).
