Faux

Finally. Kinki’s entry for 26 Things – July 2005 is finally UP and primed for critique. It goes without saying that only favourable comments will be accepted (only joking….... sort of…)

26 Things is a photographic scavenger hunt presented by sh1ft.org. Lists go up every few months, so check it out if it’s your thang…


Sunday
——————
Nothing much has happened on the Project Baby front. My tummy has actually gone down in size – how that happens I’m not entirely sure…

I think I’ve begun to feel MiniMc moving around. It woke me up the other night, with a weird poppy, gurgling sensation in my lower abdomen. Then again, it could have been because I was on the precipice of a tremendously satisfying fart.


Baby

I have been shopping in preparation for MiniMc’s arrival because there’s just soooooo much shit you “need” once you pop out the morsel. I was very amused to buy a baby hat that had emblazoned on the bag “Keep away from babies and small children”. I had a wee giggle in the shops at that one, until Husband pointed out that the warning referred to the bag, not the hat. Pregnant….


Stamp

I’m still such a novice. I need a map & baby-crap glossary when I waltz through Baby Target, I don’t know what half the things are. What the hot diggety is a “pilcher” I ask you? And what’s the difference between a portable cot, a bassinet, a stroller, a pram and a cot? Do you need them all?

It’s all just so damn confusing…

  1. down the street, entertainment, discarded, floppy. ( but they’re all wonderfully strong on perspective, visually delightful. )

  2. six, layers, impressive (wow! is that a scale model or real!), clear. baby is also very different.

  3. It’s so strange & interesting hearing people’s faves – clear and floppy were the last ones I did and almost afterthoughts – I didn’t expect anyone to be impressed by them!

    Impressive is, in fact, real – it’s the Hanging Palace near inner Mongolia in China and it’s perched in the side of a cliff. Amazing feat. Crazy Chinese.

  4. My favorite is Down The Street. Just a great interpreation of the concept, and a fantastic picture that caputres a lot of things going on in a seemingly mundane setting.

    Parking Sign and Storage were the other two that really struck me as stand outs.

  5. re. Baby stuff. I’d recommend a compact pram – some of the fancy ones are huge and too heavy. Also a baby sling is very handy (Baby Bjorn brand is exy but incredibly good). Don’t waste money on a porta cot unless you’re planning to travel soon after Bub’s arrival. S/he can nap just fine in the pram when you visit friends. I could go on and bore the pants off everyone, but will refrain…..

    and I like the ‘Baby’ pic. Very topical :)

  6. Baby Stuff – good to see that Matt is keeping a handle on things – keep away from babies etc.

    Pilcher – isn’t that some sort of a fish? He he.
