Failure to Launch – Not quite the typical romantic comedy. Yeah it has the same overall formula, but the situation is unique and that makes the whole thing pretty fun to watch. Clerks – I watched this again this past weekend with someone who had never seen that. I’m not sure how they came to […]
We didn’t get the tv room finished or the shed, but good progress was made on both. A good reason for the slow speed was that the tv room is where we stored pretty much everything during the remodel. Now I have a number of things to unpack and find new homes for and that […]
About 5 days ago I started catching up on about 2 weeks of people’s posts. After a few days of not seeing many I realized I wasn’t signed in. Entertainment Weekly is fading away and I won’t renew when the free subscription ends. What used to sometimes top 200 pages is now down to about […]
Saturday we tried to go to Sacramento to Nicole’s brother’s BBQ, but after 2 hours and only getting 80 miles and hearing that traffic was the same the rest of the way we gave up. On the way back home we decided to get lobsters to compensate at 99 Ranch Market so we got two […]

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift – I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen so many cheesy cliches strung together. This movie was fantastic and is easily the best of the three Fast and Furious movies. More racing and less half-assed cop story to get in the way. Elizabethtown – It started off […]
I haven’t posted and house updates in awhile because I haven’t really known what to post. Mostly we’re waiting for some last few things. In the bathroom I painted the trim behind the “floating cabinets” and the bathroom pocket door. Now we just await the glass that will allow us to shower without spraying the […]
As of this morning I weigh 220.8 pounds. According to a website that uses the Navy’s method of calculating body fat I’m at 27%. Time to turn that around. I’ve read that the Navy’s method is at least and generally more accurate than other body fat measurement techniques that can be easily done.
