Everyone say:

Well, we’re at less than a week till we get possession of the house. We know it’s Friday. We have no clue when. We’re hoping it’s earlier in the day since we’re rather excited and anxious to get in.

It’s looking like we’re going to be moving on the following Thursday so if you’re not terribly busy on that day and want to lend a hand…well…we probably won’t say no

The housewarming/Xmas party is scheduled for the 17th. Nic’s off that day so she’ll be there all day and I’ll be there around 8:10pm. If everyone starts to show up around 8 everything should be excellent. If you get there earlier – no big deal – just don’t park in the driveway!

As the day gets closer we’ll post more details about the party.

Once we get in on Friday we’ll take a bunch of pictures and I’ll upload them as soon as possible. (I promise it’ll be quicker than the Florida pictures)

Ok, Rob found this one a while ago, and it’s weird that he never actually posted it. Jason reminded me about the link today.

This has got to be one of the funniest music videos ever made!

So, this is what I will be calling Rob from now on. Why?

Because it’s his secret Christmas name.

Sometimes name generators can be fun. My name fits me perfectly as well. I’m apparently Fuzzy Chocolate-Pie. But Giggley Dancing-Cheeks is still way better!!!

I am so dead.

Do you go to movies just to make fun of them? Do you laugh when the impossible is shown as possible on the movie screen? Check out this link.

This site evaluates the “physics” of some popular science fiction movies. They are rated from GP or good physics to XP or obviously physics from an unknown universe. The science they describe isn’t meant to go over the head’s of the average person, but if you are a science buff, it’s interesting to read some of the explanations, as well, the reviews are quite funny.

What to know a bunch of weird, obscure trivia? Check out this site: Link

Even wonder why the microwave was invented? Did you know that pickles can glow? The stories are here. And, if you don’t have time to read the stories, you can check out the fast facts page, a few quick sentences and you’ve filled up your brain with more trivia than you know what to do with.

Ok, I’ve posted links about the origins of words before, but I found another even better site. I know, I know, I’m getting geekier and geekier by the minute.

Anyway, check it out here.

And as for Rob’s post below, before I made the comment, I had told him I liked the red better. I told him as soon as he had changed the site. I just felt like making a comment about it on the site too.

First off – ditto what Nikki said about packing. Anyone wanna help? Our cats won’t bite you…much. I’m just glad I never unpacked my boxes full of books and movies. Good god, we’d never get packed. But we’ve still got a shit-load of time so I’m confident that this move will NOT be a repeat of my move from Woodward to Southdale. Actually, I will go so far as to state that come hell or high-water it will not be a repeat.

Apparently Nikki likes the red more than the blue. Of course, I have to read about it here on the site. Wouldn’t you think it would be a lot easier to look down to the other end of the couch and say “Hey Rob, you know, I really like that red you’ve got up on the site, why don’t we change the site colours to that?” I think that would have been much easier. Apparently it isn’t.

Therefore, I have decided to keep the red, but not because Nikki likes it better – but because Boston deserves to be honoured until they are no longer the defending World Series Champions! (So it will stay red until the point next season where either a) Boston is mathematically eliminated from playoff contention or b) They are eliminated from the playoffs.) Some will say that I’m not very optimistic about a repeat performance. Don’t get me wrong – I’d LOVE to see my boys take WS pennents back to back – I just don’t think it’s gonna happen.

So, just to reiterate, the colour is staying (and I’m going to fix the logo and menu options at the top) BUT ONLY IN HONOUR OF THE RED SOX VICTORY – not because Nikki likes it – regardless of what she may tell you

Well, one box is packed (if you don’t count the boxes Rob never unpacked). I’m starting to think there will be a ton more. One box only emptied half my bookself. We still have to box up the rest of the books, the CDs, all our movies.

*Sigh*

If you’re reading this and you love packing and moving, please let us know, because this sucks!

No. I’m not thinking of changing the layout to the Boston Red Sox red I’ve currently got up. (It’ll probably be changed back within the next couple days) I’m just pondering aloud the outcome of today’s US presidential election. Personally, I’m hoping Kerry wins. Not because I think that he’ll be much better than Bush Jr. – well, actually, I *DO* think he’ll be better – at least he seems to have a firm grasp of the English language. I just think that the Democrats got a raw deal last election because apparently a large part of Florida is too stupid to know how to properly vote. (Yes, I know – Florida was only a small part of the entire SNAFU that was the 2000 election – but it’s just so much fun to blame it on them entirely) Gore won the popular vote – he should have been El Presidente. Would the US (and other “allied” forces) currently be in Iraq right now if Gore won? Hard to say. One thing I think it is safe to say though is that if Gore had won and invaded Iraq it would have been for the right reasons.

That’s my two cents. If I happen to have any American visitors who visit this site that are over 18 – PLEASE go vote. I don’t care who you vote for (well, okay, don’t vote for Nader – he’s a moron – just get out there.)
