I will admit though, it looks much better and will only keep improving as we continue the transformation. It was time well spent. Very sweaty time. I also experienced cathartic joy in demolishing both the horrid thorn bushes in the front and a portion of my dead brown grass. Maybe the remaining grass will get the hint and start GROWING!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340270023512387407.post-80298148576413500852008-08-27T10:13:00.000-05:002008-08-28T15:02:23.340-05:00Half DayToday I am having sushi for lunch.

It only took 2 days of obsessive searching and one potentially dangerous mind meld with my wife and I've GOT IT!. WOXY is the station I'd been looking for. I can finally rest now. Also, WOXY is pretty damn cool. I don't like everyting they play, but its better background music then anything on the Milwaukee airwaves and I've already discovered two bands I'd never heard of. More on that later, for now I will bask in the relaxing yet small interval between obsessions.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340270023512387407.post-52671932817215642272008-08-18T15:00:00.000-05:002008-08-28T15:00:45.219-05:00My Brain SucksI don't know why my brain decided this was important but for some reason I am obsessed with finding the old internet radio I listened to 2 years ago.

We are going to NOAH'S ARK tomorrow! Its been 2 years since we went. I am so excited I could wet my pants. Thankfully at the park I can do that and not worry about anyone noticing. Sleeping tonight is not going to happen; its like the night before Christmas as I toss and turn thinking about all the presents. Only this time I dream about being wet all day and getting sunscorched. We might actually get to ride on Black Anaconda this year. AHHHHHH!

I grapple with the idea that she is already 1 year old. I seem to exist in a time warp all of a sudden where from week to week and month to month the passage of time dilates from fast to fastest (it keeps skipping <span style="font-style: italic;">faster</span>) so that in the end I have traveled a year without being aware of half of it. Granted all these times are great so I don't have much to complain about. Hopefully I won't be a lazy ass and actually post pictures on Flickr which I haven't done since the beginning of summer. Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIRA!!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340270023512387407.post-12726789429493120372008-08-04T13:28:00.000-05:002008-08-28T15:29:00.001-05:00One small foot in fron of the otherOur baby can now WALK. She is WALKING. This means she is also FALLING. ALOT. Its pretty damn cute and fairly nerve wracking as our previous efforts to baby proof are now obliterated. She seems to have learned this while we camped (which by the way turned out great), possibly from a squirrel or chipmunk. Mira can now be accurately classified as a pedestrian. This also means that soon she will be RUNNING and then GETTING BOYFRIENDS. These are the things that bipedals do.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340270023512387407.post-76123330569824785272008-07-26T15:27:00.000-05:002008-08-28T15:28:08.880-05:00Camping (in the woods)I am aprehensive of our coming trip. I worry that Mira won't sleep. This means Emily won't sleep. I may still sleep, but that does not mean good things for me the next day.

I can't force myself to post very often as my life is not that interesting. The blog bug has never crawled up my butt to lay Web 2.0 eggs in my brain. There is just something about it that feels masturbatory about telling everyone what I do each day. I do however like using big words as the previous sentence proves. Plus it sounds dirty which is bonus points.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340270023512387407.post-62026033475004676502008-04-28T14:10:00.003-05:002008-08-28T14:26:19.774-05:00Unending Love and Music<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://static.hypem.com/images/badge-large.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://static.hypem.com/images/badge-large.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>I've rediscoverd my favorite website. . . again! What the world once new as <a href="http://www.hypem.com/">The Hype Machine</a> is fortunately still known as <a href="http://www.hypem.com/">The Hype Machine</a>, but its url has changed. I love this sight in strange and unnatural ways. Scary ways. On a daily basis it coughs up a mixture of wierd crap no one should listen too mixed with the best, newest, craziest, most obscure music I've found anywhere. Also, you can listen to the music for free.

There was cable television so I didn't have to fight lizards. Pictures are up on Flickr, though mostly of Mira in the pool. Also, we've reached capacity on the free Flickr account so old pictures are going to start disappearing. A small feed of our account is on the lower right side of the homepage.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340270023512387407.post-85237933117728229492008-04-11T13:50:00.001-05:002008-04-11T13:50:12.519-05:00Florida: America's WangWe are headed off to America's Wang to hang out with some of Em's family in a week. Staying with her grandma who lives in a senior community somewhere between no where and the empty void of space (also called Central Florida). I've been told there are pools. I already know there are orange groves and that's about it. No internet, no computer, probably no cable. My iPod and DS will get a workout, and if they fail me I will have to go in the back yard to find sticks and fight lizards for entertainment. Hm, wielding sticks in an epic battle with small lizards sounds like more fun then it should. At least it will be warm and I will have some books to read as well. Just finished "The Great Divorce" by CS Lewis, quite good. Need to get into another book before next weekend when we fly out.<br> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340270023512387407.post-17221811543077755832008-04-10T16:24:00.001-05:002008-04-10T16:24:25.815-05:00PC is goneSigh. New PC was DOA and had to be sent back for repair, at least I didn't have to pay for the shipping. Sucks though that it isn't humming away in my house right now. Also still waiting for pieces that were broken for our new eliptical machine. Thank God I don't have a temper or... I can't even think of what consequences there would be.

Shipped today and should be here Friday, which is wonderful since I am off that day and it will be delivered to work! Eh, at least when it comes I can grab it and go home and play. The next few days will be torture.<br> <br>Also getting into Deadwood now. Makes me want to go back and watch Firefly again, though, with all the western styling. Oh, Explosions in the Sky concert was fun. Good stuff. The opening "band" kinda scared me, it was some kind of whale song acid trip. One guy making strange noises and then sampling and layering the sound over and over. He also looked like he was about to die or fall asleep during the whole thing. Probably the strangest thing I've ever seen performed - and I've seen Beckett plays more then once.<br> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340270023512387407.post-20024467609583241112008-03-28T11:32:00.001-05:002008-03-28T11:32:15.305-05:00A trip to the HutTonight we dine at the Hut. 7 hours away it taunts me unendingly. I have no doubt I will go into a pizza frenzy before the end of the day and consume one of my co-workers.<br><br>I checked out their menu online and was sad, no beyond sad - I was mortified, to see that they don't have the Buffalo Wing Pizza anymore. Granted they probably discontinued it 4 years ago, its been about that long since I visited one of their fine establishments. Here's to hoping it isn't too ghetto. Or maybe I do want it ghetto so I can get a discount. Its a hard choice.<br> <br>Lastly, I have a directive - go watch Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.
