So I finally saw The Watchmen. I specifically only wanted to see the Dirctor's Cut of the movie because I'd heard it made more sense and was really the film that was supposed to be in Theaters before some studio dude thought that people who'd already sat through a 2h & 40min movie couldn't take 20min more ( Read more... )

Henry has learned the word "Hi" and he not afraid to use it. It's extremely cute since he's still so little and his voice is so high. His voice sounds like a cartoon character, a very small cartoon character with really big eyes ( Read more... )

So, I've been trying to get more into playing my guitar in 2009 after about two years of not taking any classes and just practicing on my own. I started by diving into this class where we play songs by The Cars and now I've been in the Reggae class for several months. Below is a class outing we did back in May where we played in a bar here in ( Read more... )

Today I watched Thundar the Barbarian with Henry for the first time. I loved this show when I was a kid (granted I was much older than Henry but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway) and seeing it again for the first time in years was a lot of fun (sorry about that apocalypse in 1994, I wonder what happened to that anyway?). The best part was that ( Read more... )

So I haven't been posting on LJ much mostly due to not having access at work and playing scrabble on Facebook. Stupid Facebook ( Read more... )

My back is killing me. I've spent more time on the floor in the last 48 hours than I have in years. The culprit? I took up a bunch of sod in the back yard this weekend then then took Henry to the park where I started swinging him around. That pretty much did it ( Read more... )

Okay, so I haven't had time to call the Nielsen people and reply to their generious offer but.... they've come to my house not once, but twice in the last two days and rung my bell wanted to just stop by. It's kind of creepy. It's like I get the letter on Monday and by Tuesday they are already at my door wanted to just drop in to chat ( Read more... )

So we've been asked to be a Nielsen Family. No, not just a fill-out-this-survey-here's-$10-bucks Nielsen Family but an honest to god we come to your house and hook up a box to your TV and collect info on everything you watch. We haven't decided if we're going to do it or not yet (not like it's really that big of a decision really) but it's note ( Read more... )

Rachel and I took Henry to the playground today since the weather was nice. We let him run around with the other kids and discover all of the various things that park playgrounds have. He was quite attracted to the slide which he's seen several times in the YMCA daycare we sometimes leave him at while we work out. Of course this slide was much ( Read more... )

Today, as I was leaving for work, Henry came running out of his room, arms wide, and said "I love you Daddy." for the first time. That made today the best day ever.
