Tattoine

I know you haven't seen many cake pictures lately but that's about to change. Skip has 10 orders for cakes and that doesn't even count the one I "nudged" him into making for his birthday. Today was Owen's 4th birthday and here is the cake.

New Music

This fall is shaping up to be a great time for new music. New releases by Kylie Minogue, Annie Lennox, Madonna and Mariah Carey all have me excited. I can now add Leona Lewis' new album to that list. Leona won British Idol (?) last year and her first single "Bleeding Love" can be found here. I'm on my 6th listen in a row, that's a good sign I'm going to love the song!

Annie Lennox is even touring this fall. If I can get tickets I will definitely be there. Love her.

Failed Audition

This may look like a blurry picture of an adorable dog, but it in fact her audition photo for the Resident Evil movies. If you've seen the movies you know them's some uuuuuugly dogs.

Needless to say even in this photo she is too pretty.

Don't make me choose between my babies!

Do you get the reference? Please tell me you get the reference. I'm 0 for 3 on the people I've asked so far.

Update:
Oh fine. She's playing Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice!

Positive role models, or the lack thereof

Blossom has no doggie role models at home. Gaston is 15, walks very slow and can barely see or hear. The cats on the other hand are full of life and always getting into and on everything. So who do you think Blossom is emulating? Take a wild guess.

Childish

To protect his identity, his name is Flip.

Flip applied for a transfer within his company while moving from one state to another. Everything was handled via the computer, all work was done, he was ready to go.

Flip arrived at work this morning where he was told he had been reported missing by his former location as he didn't report for work last week during his scheduled vacation and they had no idea about his transfer.

This is also the store where an employee told Skip that if he (the employee) were dying that Flip was to keep his "faggot" lips off him. Would HR do anything? No.

Happy September!

Even my iPhone is repulsed

In moving an armoir one of the doors fell off right onto my big toe. Here is the damage. Evidently my iPhone is so repulsed by it that it wouldn't take a clear picture.

Skippy tells me I'm going to lose the toenail. Ewwww. On the positive note, I can tell you that the motorized wheelchairs at Wal-Mart, Costco and Target are all good but I rank them in that order :-) I'm the crippled guy that spreads sunshine and happiness everwhere he goes.

We're here

No more cross country driving. No more cross country driving. No more cross country driving. No more cross country driving.

I ended up driving the dogs in the Ford the whole way. We had planned on driving over 4 days but ended up doing it in 3 and boy were the dogs bored.

But we're here and the house is great.

When Harry Met Sally

My friend Kristin (in the pink shirt) and I sat at the same table from When Harry Met Sally! They evidently have the best pastrami sandwich in the world. I hate pastrami. They also had nasty pie. But cool pictures on the wall!

Now some words...

It's been a crazy month. Poor Skip has been packing up most of the house himself. I've been helping him on the weekends myself. We leave this Friday night and will get to Baltimore on Monday.

I started my new job last week. Our Christmas party is in Las Vegas!

I actually like a new comic strip. I can't remember the last time this happened. It is Lio.

My most anticipated game of the year, Bioshock, comes out this week. And I can't play it until at least next Monday due to the move. Where is the justice? To make it worse I preordered it through Steam so it was sitting on my hard drive all weekend just screaming for me.

I actually have next week off. I will be off for 10 days!!!

No words...

It's Underdog!

I saw Underdog with my Mom yesterday and wow it is just hilarous. Everybody was there with their parents (including me) and the kids were all actually very well behaved! The movie really kept their attention and kept them laughing. Any of you out there with kids (even those of you with SIX kids) need to rush your kids off to the movie theatre right away. Even my Mom was howling throughout the movie.

Skippy was so jealous we saw it that he is going today. Poor Blossom won't know what hit her come Halloween.

Even more big news

Last night I accepted a job offer! It is with the same company I am working for now as a contractor. So in addition to doing Domino consulting, I'll be combining that with the specific tools that my new company uses. I'll still be travelling a lot but hopefully a little less. With the move to the east coast I expect to spend a lot less time commuting at least!

Guess that clean livin' is paying off!

Big News

We are moving back to Baltimore. Halethorpe, MD to be exact. Only a few weeks left in Colorado then we'll be driving across county with Skip's cousin and the animals. At the end of August! If the AC in the rental truck breaks I will just walk out on the road, lay down and wait for someone to run me over.
