OK … so what’s my favourite part of watching 30 Rock?
Watching the grin on my wife’s face as she laughs along to it … she’s so beautiful when she’s smiling … 😀
Yes I’m a big suckup, shut it …
That Dead Horse Is Asking For It
Yeah yeah yeah … I know I’ve been beating the dead horse this week … but I was signing into my web stuff this morning and I come across this …
Sarah Palin feels like she’s been exploited by Katie Couric and Tina Fey? How ridiculous can you get? The woman’s popularity was partially due to the fact that these two brought more attention to her! As for the issue of Caroline Kennedy getting better treatment in the press … maybe instead of blaming the media she needs to examine her own behaviour and see why maybe she’s an easy target …
Sigh … at least this should provide some comedic fodder for Tina Fey …
Addendum To A Crush
When I grow up … i want to be Jack Donaghy …
Watch 30 Rock … you’ll understand why …
Three Stories – Part Three
So the most important story I have? BRIANNA IS GRADUATING TO SOLID FOODS!!! YAY HER!!!
Yessireebob … the Doc has cleared the munchkin to start trying solids … AND … we’ve also got the green light to try and let her sleep until she wakes INSTEAD of waking her every three hours. It’s gonna be a little rough having all of us adjust to all these changes … but in the long run this is fantastic! Just one more sign of how well our little squirt is progressing!
There’s some fresh photos up in the gallery of the munchkin at her cutest …
Looking To The Future
Alright … those of you who know me are aware that I don’t really like to talk politics … I don’t care for it … I’m disheartened by a system where we are told that we have the power and yet it seems to get all muddled up in bureaucracy … suppresed by old men with skewed agendas … this may sound cynical but it’s how I feel …
So if I’m going to talk about politics you know that it must mean that something has truly moved me …
Barack Obama winning the presidential election is truly a historical landmark. Not because of his race. Rather because he truly does symbolize the hope for our neighbours to the south … He represents a radical departure from the circus sideshow which has been the Bush administration. I for one hope he succeeds in turning around the fortunes of his country, because as much as some are loathe to admit it the fate of the US does affect us all. Especially their closest neighbours.
However he does have a huge task in front of him. He’s kind of like the poor homeowner who comes home to discover their teenager has thrown a wild party. You have to clean up because it’s the only option you have. It’s just not going to be a very entertaining job. There’s a good chance that he will ‘fail’ on a number of initiatives. That’s inevitable given the current hole that the US is in. I for one still hope to see him succeed … if only a few small victories …
I have this hope because of Brianna. I want her to grow up and to see a wonderful world reveal itself to her. Not one driven by hate or fear-mongering. I want her to be able to throw open her arms and eyes and welcome in the beauty of this gorgeous little rock we call Earth. That didn’t seem possible as long as chumps like Bush were in charge.
I’m still a cynical SOB when it comes to politics. I have a hard time believing most politicians and as such tend to not throw my support behind them. I want Obama to change my mind.
Quick Hit … in HD!!!
Caught my first bit of PRIMETIME programming in HD last night … Heroes wasn’t on because of pre-election coverage … so instead our first show was CSI: Miami …
Looked beautiful … didn’t help the acting much thou …
The Day After
OK … so I didn’t quite manage to watch the WHOLE episode of the Heroes Premiere last night … MAYBE my brother in law let me know he had tickets … to a Leafs game … and MAYBE I had to go and wtch some hockey and drink some beer with him … and MAYBE his wife got selected to go out onto the ice and shoot from end to end for the chance to win season’s tickets … and MAYBE Wendell Clark was handing out prizes in my section and I got to shake his hand …
Maybe … juuuuuust maybe …
I shook Wendell Clark’s hand … heh heh … awesome …
My Merchandise Actually SOLD?!?!?
Just a random occurance … but I was browsing through my Cafe Press account … yes honey, I was thinking of designing some new shirts … and randomly checking through my order history someone actually ORDERED ONE OF MY T-SHIRTS!!!
Granted the person probably just randomly came across it and liked the slogan I had across the front … and she probably didn’t know that I had my logo on the back of the shirt … but still … that means I’ve got a little bit of random advertising out in the wilds of … hold on, let me check …OKLAHOMA!!!
So to you … checking … Charissa Sharp, I say THANK YOU!!! You’ve just made my day!
WoW vs Vaccuming
So I’m always passing along articles I find to my darling wife … specifically ones which deal with other gamers and how they deal with their significant others and their love of games …
So after I passed along that one article across to Shari … she responded by saying that it’s not my choice in hobbies that she doesn’t get … it’s that she’d rather see me doing something else with my time … and that she wanted to know when someone wrote an article about World of Warcraft vs housework …
Does anyone know if they HAVE a vaccuming sim game out there? Maybe I should write one …
So Why Aren’t There Any Brie Photos?
Yeah I know … everyone is asking me why I haven’t been posting any Brianna photos … well truth be told there’s two reasons … number one, Shari and I don’t generally hover over her with a camera … so while we are taking a fair number of shots, we’re not doing so every single day …
And number two, I keep forgetting to grab those few shots we have and post them … dang it …
She’s doing well … physically … mentally is a whole other story … at some point she decided that she was going to be an unhappy baby … she’s still gorgeous as can be mind you … just cranky to all hell … so never mind taking pitcures, most of the time Shari and I are just debating whose turn it is to hold the screaming child …
