Is it the wind or does Lori just really need to buy a brush??? You decide!
So I haven’t really had much time to write for a while – we’ve pretty much just been going non-stop since we got back from Michigan, but at least things are calming down a little now. In fact, I’m actually supposed to be making breakfast right now, but I’m “waiting for the pan to warm up” while I write this… 😛

If you haven’t done it yet, hurry up and prank a few people before it’s too late and this gets widespread! This site lets you send a personalized voicemail from Samuel L. Jackson himself to the “victim” of your choice – sounds the farthest away from an automated message as I’ve ever heard … very cool, indeed. Enjoy!
…but this was pretty entertaining…

Just finished packing and loading everything in the car. Mental note – stop putting this part off until the last minute!
Will be a little late for work … forgot to call in and just got a call from the boss, but at least she didn’t sound mad.
Comic is all queued up and ready to go for tomorrow. (Although anyone who reads via MySpace will have to wait because I still have to do that manually and I don’t want to post it there ahead of schedule. Multi-million dollar company and they can’t incorporate RSS into their blogs???)
Hopefully will have wi-fi at the hotel tonight because airports are usually too busy for me to bother getting my laptop out there, but we’ll see. I do have a lot of work to do, but whether it will actually get done or just wait until Tuesday is still to be forseen.
Last night Sara talked me into getting a pedicure. Still waiting to find out if I’m officially gay or not, but either way it was a good time for both feet involved. Hmmmm…
Will be in Michigan about twelve hours from now, and Northern Michigan another fourteen or so from then. Should be fun!
And lastly, was just reminded today that Snakes on a Plane opens tomorrow. I might drag Lori and Ray to go see it with us, if Gaylord’s theater won’t be completely packed. It’s on, biatch!
The Good
The Bad
The Frustrating
…iTunes seems to have this stupid habit of crashing my network connection now anytime I open it because it wants to update all of my podcasts at the same freaking time! Apple – I like your software, but not enough to warrant rebooting my machine every time I want to hear some new music. Grrr…
Man, am I going to be happy when these stressful days are gone.
Of course, that’s not likely to happen anytime soon, so I guess in the meantime we’ll just take it one day at a time… 😛
It was a very busy weekend as we began preparing for our trip up to Michigan later on this week. Yesterday we went over to Downtown Disney for presents and also saw a movie (Miami Vice – it sucked – should’ve listened to everyone’s reviews). Today was pretty much entirely devoted to finding Sara a dress for the luau, which we did actually do after visiting about the 113th beach shop along the gulf coast. It was a very trying trip and we were both immensely happy when she found something that would work, but as a side note, in the meantime we did decide that we’re going to buy a sweet condo on the beach once we’re millionaires and have tons of money to blow. I don’t quite remember whose responsibility it is to make all of that dough, though – will have to check back on that one.
So we’ve still got a ton of crap to do – gifts need to be prepared, articles for the paper up there need to be written because a deadline will pass while we’re away, packing of sorts needs to take place, I need a haircut and Sara wants to get her nails done, the house never actually did get cleaned from when we got back from the last trip – the list just goes on and on! Also, we have strong suspicions that there might be a mouse or rat living up in the attic … either that or some very large cockroaches … because we could hear them scurrying around the other night above the bathroom that sits off of our bedroom. We bought a neat, little trap for that purpose earlier today, but I’ll be very surprised if it gets put into place anytime before we leave.
So much to do, so little time – these are the days of our lives!
Does anyone know if there’s a way, either now or in the future, for me to play the new Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo DS on a screen larger than, say, three inches or so? I got a small taste of this thing while we were perusing Best Buy last weekend and had to come home and plug in the old Super NES to help quench my thirsts for koopas and walking mushrooms, and after seeing the new game and playing it for a few minutes, I’d love to partake in this new adventure, too, but I am getting “old” and just can’t stare at that tiny screen for hours on end. Any ideas if there are plans to go cross-platform with this title and offer it on the upcoming Nintendo Wii, or maybe something’s available where you can hook up a DS to one of the console systems, as I believe they did between the Gameboy and the Game Cube.
Help a brother out – I need my Mario and Luigi!

Finally … one of Kevin’s hilarious Q&A’s is finally coming to a venue within driving distance! I literally just found out about this today – Saturday, Sept. 23rd at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando – $35 / ticket. Sara and I are sooooo going to this!
