Here's something wonderful for September 12th...

Posted September 12, 2002 10:23 AM.

Dorian, the guy I work next to at an UnnamedMediaService is having a baby! He didn't tell anyone for ages, and then he kind of mentioned it surreptitiously over AIM. When I turned over to look at him, he had the biggest grin on his face and a kind of conspiratorial wiggle in his eyebrows. A bit like he'd done something wrong at school that he was actually really proud of. Mischievous, maybe? It's difficult to describe. He looked like he was going to burst any minute - like literally explode. I think it's the coolest thing that's ever happened to anyone. Ever. And already there are baby pictures to gawk at... From nine weeks to thirteen weeks... And he's putting more up soon...
