Asher Roth is an artist who was known as one of the first white guys to do a mixtape with DJ Drama. He’s back to remind us how filthy and dope he is. To my understanding, he didn’t want to the freestyle on the A Milli beat but people at Myspace forced him to… Listen [...]

A Milli - Asher Roth Damn Bangladesh’s “A Milli” beat is so popular, there gots to be 20 remixes out now other than Weezy’s original - just see here….I was on Twitter getting my voeveo viral on when I got an tweet asking if I wanted to post (yet another) A Millie remix, but hey from a favorite up-and-coming: Asher Roth…Hells yeah. You might like his Mix Tape:

I know you’re thinking, “Another one?! Seriously?!”, but this is the first time I’m posting anything about “A Milli”, so I’m allowed to get away with it. Probably the most rapped on beat in hip-hop history (if you can think of another, let me know), “A Milli”, has been done by every rapper, singer and any [...]

Asher's word for any bug, insect, or spider is "bee." And he loves them. Several months ago he had the extreme delight of having a yellow jacket in his hair. Since then, he will daily point to his hair, say "bee!" and then sign "please?" He's asking if he could have another "bee" in this hair. Whenever he actually sees a creepy-crawler he gets really excited in the hopes that this one too mig

We are enrolled this week and last week in swimming lessons. Which is fun...kind of. Its somewhere to go in the morning, and its an excuse to get in the pool. And our best friends are taking the class too. But almost-two is a bit young for swimming lessons. (This is actually our second year...almost-one was even harder). Its a mommy-and-me class, so it basically consists of me trying to wran

Asher started sleeping with a pacifier when he was about five months old. I've always worked to limit it to bed time, and been pretty successful with that. Recently though, he's started to put up a fight about giving it up after naps. This seems reasonable, actually - I certainly appreciate a slow re-entry process when I'm waking up, and I don't blame him for wanting the same thing. But at the same time, I'd like the pacifier to play a decreasing role in his life, not an increasing role.I've also mentioned the troubles he has at times with obeying. If he's in the mood to put up a fight, he will not back down. No matter how strict or consistent or consequence-giving I am.So a few weeks ago I came up with what seemed to me like a good idea. Asher can have his pacifier during sleep tim

To avoid being chased by tornadoes this morning, we stopped at the border of Arkansas and Missouri to have lunch at Shoney's. Since the all-you-can-eat buffet was actually cheaper than ordering a single item, and since Asher could eat for free, we went for it.Two hours, piles of plates, and two full adult tummies later, Asher was still stuffing in the mac and cheese and green peas and grapes. We thought he'd never stop eating. I have no idea where he put all that.I rarely spend money on buffets because with my tiny appetite I never get my money's worth. This time around, my buffet experience cost $6.99. Asher's was free. They should have given mine for free and charged him. From now on, I'm a buffet believer.Especially if that buffet is in the ever-friendly South. Not only was I do

Those filthy microbes thought they could stop me, but I am not thwarted so easily. My interview with Neal Asher is now up at FantasyBookSpot. Have a look. You can also check out my review of Asher's The Skinner, or my review/discursive ramblings on Gridlinked. Neal Asher's own blog can be found here.

I am all about showing my patriotic colors and nothing says 'I'm American' better than carrying an American made bag. Check out this blue Treesje Asher handbag in blue. The color alone will make Benedict Arnold wish he had not betrayed his country. I love the gold hardware around the bag and the braiding on the handle. So chic. Treesje bags are made in Los Angeles by design duo Laura Osbourne and Sheila Dardashti. Show your American pride and don the blue with some red and white. The bag is available at Revolve Clothing for $595. It is also available in white and beige. This bag is a definite celeb fave so snag yours now.

The bulk of this post will be pictures of Asher, but first I must share a recent story with you in the form of a riddle. Yesterday was a very momentous day in our family. Asher did something for the first time, but if I told you what it was, you'd accuse me of using potty language. In fact, he did two things. You might say he did thing #1 and and thing #2. I must say, it was a good year before I figured he'd try these things, and I won't be surprised if its another year before it happens again. But all eye witnesses agree that he did both things on purpose. We are very, very proud and slightly estatically excited (though with realistic expectations). I know some of you really wanted to know about this major development, so I thought I'd share.Now, the photos. Cold! Wet! Listening to record

As I've mentioned, Asher has very few words under his belt. He's recently perfected mommy and daddy and baa and honk and ha (hot).And, this just in: Abama - ie., Mommy's favorite politician.I'm not kidding. He learned to say it once while repeating after me, and will repeat it anytime he's asked to. For most words he's asked to say he'll shake his head vigorously. But he'll shout Abama! all day long. Good boy. And not just that. I've been reading Barack Obama's book The Audacity of Hope and had it lying around the house. My mom came over to babysit for a few hours and when I got back it was lying on the floor in the kitchen. "He just won't leave this book alone," she said, "I keep putting it back on the table, and he just keeps carrying it around. He points to the picture of the author and

This is pretty much the best Asher video ever taken. Adorable footage of him trying to decorate the Christmas tree plus bonus features including his classic "uh-oh!," sign language, pointing out Christmas candles (not pictured), and waving bye-bye. Turn your volume up loud so as not to miss the "uh-oh!"

Neal Asher is not a new writer on the SF&F scene - “Hilldiggers” his latest [2007] novel, is clearly the continuation of earlier works and themes. Initially, this seems to be a classic story of first contact between a solar system of humans “cut off” in some way from Earth and left to develop in isolation, and the more advanced human societies, left behind. However as we delve deeper we find

As I've alluded to many times before, parenting is an excellent opportunity for exploring one's theology. The reason being, I believe, that finally as parents we can see a glimpse of God's perspective, new insight into ourselves and what it might be like to guide us lovingly, patiently, and how stubborn and silly and clueless we really are...and how precious, how loved.Last week Asher and I went with friends to a nearby Splash Park. The three boys had fun getting splashed at the tiny fountains, and watching the brave, big kids run through the giant, scary fountains. Asher, Mr. Independent, was terrified by the strong and sudden gusts of water, but even more terrified at the thought of missing even a single exciting element. He would take off from the baby fountains, crawling full speed into the center of the park where the big kids and powerful splashes could be found. He never, ever looked back to see if I was coming, never showed the slightest interest in me coming along . At

We started putting Asher in our church nursery when he was about nine months old. Like a good Highly Sensitive and introverted mother, I carefully watched him from behind the two way mirror, increased his "alone" time by a few minutes each week, left behind favorite toys, and left strict instructions to call me at the earliest sign of distress.Apparently, I needn't have bothered. The nursery is only open for one hour of our two hour service, and we spend the entire baby-included hour trying to stop Asher's desperate four-limbed escape from the sanctuary. I finally decided to follow him instead of stopping him, to see where he wanted to go. And discovered that, no matter where we are in the building, if allowed to touch down on the ground, Asher will high-tail-it, without getting lost or looking back, to...the nursery. This is an evolutionarily new behavior for his gene line. He has differentiated himself from me in that I, as a child of any age, would never have chosen to play with

Although Asher's birthday isn't until Sunday, a year ago today I was in labor. So, in honor and celebration of these days I present Asher's "back story" in three parts. This is taken from my journal during pregnancy - close enough to the actual events to be accurate, far enough to gain perspective. Scroll down for Part 1.The next eight months are already a blurr, and were filled with too many days to recount (many of their stories have already been told on this blog). The first trimester was filled with the excitement of spreading the news, and of keeping the secret; high levels of excitement and of exhaustion; of intense and constant nausea, paralleled by intense and constant starvation-like-hunger. I started eating roughly three meals for each conventional meal - three breakfasts, three lunches, three dinners - and after a month of this had gained only one pound. When I think back to autumn, winter, and the chilly weather my stomach turns with the memory of the constant illne

Although Asher's birthday isn't until Sunday, a year ago today was my due date...and the day I actually began labor. So, in honor of these days I present Asher's "back story" in three parts. This is taken from my journal during pregnancy - close enough to the actual events to be accurate, far enough to gain perspective and "framing." If you consider this to be "too much information" that's ok....just stay tuned. Last October (2005), after months of frustrating, confusing, and painful experiences, I went to visit an OB. He did a number of tests and told me the news...the chances of Matthew and I getting pregnant without fertility drugs was very small; and even if we were to succeed, we would probably lose the baby early on through miscarriage. He was hopeful that fertility drugs would help us, so he wasn't too negative about it.I took a slightly different interpretation -- I was sad. It wasn't that I was adjusting to never having children, just that I didn't look forward to

Life with Asher is life with a perpetual font of cute stories. Here are a few that have stuck to my heart in the past few days.Guess who's started sneaking his vegetables behind his back when he thinks I'm not watching? If I should turn to get him some water or pick up the phone, Asher will very carefully pick up one veggie at a time, then carefully move his arm behind him where he slowly and carefully deposits the veggie under his seat. He keeps his eyes on me the entire time, with an angelic look on his face. This makes me consider reincarnation as a viable answer to life's mysteries. How could he possibly have learned this? I have never implied that he needed to eat his veggies before he gets the good stuff. Or that he needs to clean his plate. And he has never shown any disdain for vegetables. But he instinctually seems to know that its best to hide them if you think mom's not looking.********************He also enjoys sticking bites of food into his ear, then trying to stuff i

When Buddha spoke about suffering, he wasn't referring simply to superficial problems like illness and injury, but to the fact that the dissatisfied nature of the mind itself is suffering. No matter how much of something you get, it never satisfies your desire for better or more. This unceasing desire is suffering; its nature is emotional frustration. - Lama YesheI've heard many people say that a mobile baby is a happy baby, but I can't say I've found this to be the case. Asher screamed (not cried, screamed) for the first 6 weeks of his life, then stopped abruptly on his six week birthday (well, they do say it gets better at six weeks!), smiled, laughed, and hasn't stopped smiling and laughing ever since (more or less). He definitely lives up to his name and is generally the happiest baby most people have ever seen.But now...Before, he was so content to lay on his back and shake his toys in the air, screaming and shrieking with glee. Then, he was so content to sit up, taking block

Today is Asher's 6 month birthday. Half a year has passed since the pregnancy countdown ended and wonderful, amazing, crazy life with him began. And what a difference 6 months make! Here are some "then and now" pictures...July 22nd, and January 22nd... (and can I just say...what a beautiful baby!) :) Happy Birthday, Asher. I love every minute with you.

Without futher ado, here are some pictures from Asher's first Christmas (a few weeks after the fact). Yes, that whole pile to the left is for Asher... I'm all dressed for my white Christmas....oh wait...back at the beach. No snow here!
