Up

Posted on June 11, 2009 by Steve

I’m glad I saw one movie this Summer that had substance triumph over style successfully. We live an era when Hollywood obsesses over selling more licensed crap instead of checking to see if the story is any good. There are … Continue reading →

Someone has stolen Bobby Clarke’s brain…

Posted on June 10, 2009 by Steve

…and put it into GM Paul Holmgren’s head. The signing of Ray Emery is a guarantee my team will be defeated in the first round of the 2010 playoffs, if they make it that far. Being squeezed against the salary … Continue reading →

Futurama gets a third life

Posted on June 10, 2009 by Steve

Finally! If something as inconsistent as Family Guy can be brought back, it’s not a wonder Fox took longer to work out an arrangement for Futurama, it’s a show requiring an IQ over 100 to enjoy or understand. I guess … Continue reading →

Happy (belated) third anniversary to the Lowrys

Posted on June 10, 2009 by Steve

If my sleep hygiene wasn’t so knocked out of whack, I would’ve gotten the news out before passing out in the living room to WALL-E (had to complete our little Pixar film festival). Now I don’t feel bad about it … Continue reading →

My teeth Summer 2009

Posted on June 9, 2009 by Steve

Woo hoo! My second trip to the dentist this year was even better than the previous one. I did a chart last time to give a comparison on how much improvement my gums have made since 2006 (really bad) to … Continue reading →

Operation: Alexandria Week 12

Posted on June 8, 2009 by Steve

Now that we got those damned colds behind us (mine was over Memorial Day, Somara’s the following weekend), we seriously pushed forward on Operation: Alexandria. What really helped was being exhausted the day before. I think we both feel asleep … Continue reading →

My Little Pony Cake

Posted on June 7, 2009 by Steve

This has got to be the girliest cake Somara has ever made but it’s expected for a three-year-old. I need to ask Elizabeth’s father if she’s obsessed with horses like all young females. Nice to see the airbrush Somara bought … Continue reading →

Beatles Rock Band is impressive…

Posted on June 7, 2009 by Steve

…even to a jagged Beatles hater such as myself. Originally I felt this was going to be another cash cow for the remaining two and the other two’s estates as it was for Metallica and Aerosmith (they made more money … Continue reading →

RIP David Carradine (late)

Posted on June 6, 2009 by Steve

Such a shame if his death was a murder or a suicide. He was always cool with me since as a child of the Seventies and Eighties, David was Caine, the ass-kicking buddhist monk who turned the dying TV Western … Continue reading →

Funny handbag

Posted on June 5, 2009 by Steve

So it’s not a T-shirt but I bought one from this place and had to have a picture of this bag because it was funny. I figured you all would like it too since I’m big on recycling.

A little hockey fun

Posted on June 3, 2009 by Steve

Anything to take my mind off of my team signing Ray Emery, a Terrell Owens type is what he is if you don’t know hockey but know a cancerous athlete who made the media frequently. My friend Brian told me … Continue reading →

There’s a handful of you who already know how to do this so you can skip this or better yet, if you’ve been getting this on an RSS feed for some time, I’m confident you will delete this missive in … Continue reading →

Operation: Alexandria Week 9, 10 & 11

Posted on June 2, 2009 by Steve

Sadly there’s nothing big to report since progress has slowed due to illness but we did get some inspiration tonight while at Costco…they finally had those 26″ Vizio LCD displays which are compatible with our MacBooks! More on those another … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Anna!

Posted on June 1, 2009 by Steve

She’s now lucky number seven which is a pretty groovy age as a kid. First grade is over (or will soon be) and you’ve gotten a pretty solid taste for grade school. I cannot remember if Summer vacation has started … Continue reading →
