The Village

Saturday, July 31st, 2004

There are two types of people that will go to see The Village. One type goes to see what they consider to be an “M. Night Shyamalan” movie, even though they don’t know what that is. The other type goes to see a good movie. One type doesn’t like it, the other […]

dnc was great

Friday, July 30th, 2004

So did anybody else watch any of the Democratic National Convention? I saw parts, here and there, and it was great. I watched most of Wednesday, and saw most of Kerry’s speech on Friday. Then I downloaded and watched Barack Obama’s speech from Tuesday — which was terrific! The message of […]

Good day!

Thursday, July 29th, 2004

Well today went very well! Especially Happy Birthday to Erin!!! A whopping 23 years old!
Killy also had his two month appointment — although the doctor told us he looked more like four months! And he’s certainly a very large baby! He’s 13.5 lbs and 25 inches long — 90th and 97th […]

Bogus monster hog!

Wednesday, July 28th, 2004

There is a story on cnn.com about “The legend of Hogzilla.” Hogzilla is a 12-foot long, 1,000 lb. wild hog with 9-inch tusks. The only evidence of this ‘record’ beast (the previous heavyweight champ from their plantation was 695 lbs.) is a photo displayed in an auto parts store by one of the […]

What’s wrong with feeding a baby!?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2004

Boy this makes me mad! Ok, so there’s another fairly big (as in media attention) ruckus over a mother breastfeeding her baby. This one happened in Iowa, when a restaurant owner asked a mother to either stop breastfeeding, do it in the restroom, or leave. (she left) Iowa’s state code says […]

diet progress

Wednesday, July 28th, 2004

Well, that we fairly smoothly! I’ve got my new handy dandy graph there in the sidebar. I’ve also got a new site (VERY low design, this is definately more function than flare) at http://www.luxfx.com/diet with a bigger version.
The graph itself is a flash movie that retrieves data from a MySQL database in an […]

calm…

Tuesday, July 27th, 2004

Well today was a pretty calm day! I’ve got several things lined up for tomorrow, including one meeting (which I’m not looking forward to, as usual), but today was a nice personal-project day! I’m building a small extension to my journal that lets me (and anyone else that wants to) keep track of […]

CELL PHONES ARE THE DEVIL

Tuesday, July 27th, 2004

Yet another reason why I hate cell phones! I got this call from Jen:
Oh, it was terrible, I … pssehhsshhhthsehhshhh … rear-ended!
Fortunately the omitted words were “almost got” so everybody’s ok — including Killy who was riding with Jen at the time. But those few seconds of thinking Jen had just been in […]

Splurge!

Monday, July 26th, 2004

Mmmm, I love splurge days! Tonight I fixed hamburgers and hot dogs, and Jen and Erin fixed these amazing brownies (except I was the only one smart enough to also put peanut butter on mine!) Splurge days are great!
Of course, my weight will definately be up again tomorrow, but that’s part of the […]

How to answer this question?

Monday, July 26th, 2004

I just got an email of more questions from W, and I just don’t know how to nicely answer this question. They tell me they have received several responses from their “send us a link” form, which is available for people to send in information about businesses they want included in the site. […]

Two months!

Sunday, July 25th, 2004

Killian was two months old today! It’s gone by amazing fast compared to the last two months of our pregnancy, which were really intolerably slow. Killy is growing very fast, but isn’t a big chunkster so even though we’re just measuring pounds he must be growing quickly in length/height as well. He […]

TRANSFORMERS MOVIE!!!!!

Sunday, July 25th, 2004

Oh wow, now I’ve got something to be majorly excited for, now that LOTR is all over with: pre-production has already started on a new LIVE ACTION Transformers movie! It’s being done by none other than Dreamworks, with Stephen Spielburg as executive producter, and Tom DeSanto (writer/producer for X-Men) as writer/producer.
From Tom DeSanto:
There’s […]
