Star Wars Episode III

A coworker told me that this movie sucked; however, I quite frankly enjoyed it. What the hell its Star Wars. You get to see what happens before it all began. Now, let me first be the one to say the acting is obviously not great, and there are definately weak points to the movie. At times I almost thought that Lucus had to come up with something before Star Wars started, and wrote this idea before he went to bed one night. I'm probably wrong in thinking that Lucas wrote Star Wars first, then came up with the prequel. Ok, "Aniken really wants to save his wife". "He cares about that more than anything, and is willing to turn to the dark side to do it". He practically kills her in the movie before she gives birth. I can't give this movie an A. But the special effects were great, and I like Star Wars. I guess I can say that the movie was entertaining, but the whole Star Wars plot line was rather thin.

It was so obvious that the Chancelor was evil emperor from the begining. His mouth and voice looked and sounded like the evil emperor even at the very beginning.

I bid you goodnight.

Field Work

I had the opportunity to do some fieldwork with a coworker today. I had lots of fun getting on his nerves. He really needs to not take things hard. Its all in good fun. I take his wisecracks all the time. Life is full of wisecracks. Those who laugh at them will be happy. So cheer up Murano!

Cheers

I bid you goodnight

No time tonight!

The pens got blown out.

Candy

I got to stop buying candy. If it is in the house, I eat it.

Nathan

My kid is really maturing under my eyes. The last week or so Nathan has been sitting quietly with us, or would just act more patient in general. He still has his moments, but these are the first signs that he does not need to be constantly moving.

Work

My coworker, Murano, loves to talk up Apple. Well, it looks like they are having some trouble with the Nano. I like to refer to it as the no-no. It now has its 3rd class action lawsuit brought against it due to the fragileness the screen. It appears that enough people have complained about it being scratched with little use, that not only is a customer in the US suing Apple, but so to are Mexico and the UK. I guess that is what happens when you rush a product to market without sufficien testing. How long has the Nano been on the market? A month? Altough, it appears most if not all ipods scratch easily based on the use of one by my coworker. His is banged up and it see's as much rugged use as a grandfather clock. I guess users must have to spend extra and purchase a skin for it. Thats too bad.

I bid you goodnight!

Gwins win!

The pens beat the rangers tonight 3-2. It was nice to see them get the win. They looked pretty good.

Politics, Yuck!

I am already getting sick of politics on tv. I barely watch any tv, and am getting bombarded with tons of Virginia governor and other political crap. I would not trust any of them. Vote for Pedro!

The reason I had to put up with commercials is due to the King of Queens. It was pretty good. Doug and Carrie go to a Bed and Breakfast and have a crazy time.

I bid you goodnight.

Great Sunday

Day Trip

We met my folks at the Hagerstown Outlets today. It was a great day. The weather was beautifull too. Nathan was cute and the grandparents loved him.

It was also the first time I had ever eaten at the Cracker Barrel. It was great. Awesome food at a reasonable price. They serve fabulous comfort food, that kind of stuff you would get at a diner. You can also shop at their general store. A good family dining place.

Simpsons

I just finished watching another good Simpsons Treehouse of Horror, their halloween special. As a great man once and still says. It was "not to bad, not to good, just on the cutting edge of mediocre". The family guy was great too. You just don't know what is going to be said next. Probably the best animated show out there these days. Well close to South Park anyway, and its is on network tv.

I bid you good night.

Great day for PSU

Penn State took care of Wisconsin today to make their record 9-1. They have Michigan State left. It should be a tough one as they battle away. Plus they beat Michigan State last year in the last game after a dismal season. MS may be looking for revenge. Too bad they lost a close one to Michigan. They would definately be top 3 material.

One of the few times I get to watch a pens game, and they are getting shallacked by Boston at the end of the 2nd period 5-1.

Nathan rode his tricycle more today and sat on a real bike with training wheels. I think it will be a year or two more before he masters a bike.

My bro is about to have a baby. I am excited for him and his wife. They are due in early December. He is married to a great Indian girl. I think they will make awesome parents. They live in TX so I don't get many opportunities to see them.

I forgot to tell my friend at work that he is an ABCD!

I bid you good night.

Today

Correction

I appologize to my coworker. He is not "Extremely Liberal", but just very liberal. He definately has a couple conservative views that I totally agree on. So you can say he is fair minded, or he thinks so, and not that far on the left. I joke about him, but I probably agree with him about 80% of the time.

Lunch

I had a great lunch today at a Japanese restaurant in Ellicott City. It has very good sushie and Japanese buffet. We actually waited in line about 20 minutes until we got seated.

Entertainment

We are over half way through the movie 13. I am surprised at how good it is. The teenage boppieness annoyed me at first, but I definately got sucked in. Holly Hunter is a great actress even though she talks out of the side of her mouth.

I bid you goodnight.

Regular Day

Not much went on today. It was pretty much your typical day. Work, Home with family and surfin right now.

Internet

Its great that comcast is actually streaming hockey games for free. It is great. I hope they can keep it up. I love watching the pens.

I big you good night.

Toothy Day

Dentist

Well the dentist was ho hum today. It costed a little less than I expected. Everyone knows that even with insurance, that the dentist is expensive. I would not complain; however, this is the 3rd time I have had something done to the same tooth! First was a root canal and crown 3 or more years ago. Next, with a new dentist, the xrays show that the old crown was not totally sealed, so the crown had to come off and be replaced (1.5 years ago). That was the second thing done. Finally today, with the portable crown in my hand I find out that it is useless, and I need a post in the tooth to help support the tooth and a new crown. All together with everything done to this tooth I have easily spent well over $2200. I wish they would of just yanked it to begin with, or give me a fake.

Nathan

My kid has been hitting, or taking swipes at mommy and daddy more so than normal lately. I can see revenge in is eyes when he puts his hand back after I make him angry. We do the notty chair thing, plus I will spank him from time to time. But I don't think hitting him will really teach him that hitting is wrong. I think though that a sting to the ass does pay dividends from time to time.

This morning he counted to 20. He missed 2 numbers in between, but its pretty neat to hear him count into the teens. He has been counting to 10 for about a month now.

He also really rode his tricycle well today. I did not have to get him started either. He was all over our little street.

Work

Work went well today. My co worker really cracks me up though. He is extremely liberal. I rate myself in between. Although I tend to side with democrats in most issues, I would say I am a moderate democrat. I voted for our republican governor and do not regret it. I don't know how people can totally agree with the philosiphy of either party and defend it. I would have to say I hate the far right and the far left. You would think most people would have some common sense and be in the middle. Politics basically sucks. We should do whats best for all people, not what gets us elected.

Maybe I will write a little more about this in the future.

I bid you goodnight.

Wow I have a blog.

What to do, what to do... Let me see. Do I waste alot of time with this thing only to have one or two, or no people read it? Anyway. Welcome to you and myself. I hope I can read it from time to time, or possibly post here as well.

I got to go watch a couple of good shows: My Name is Earl, and The Office. The office is probably one of the best shows on tv these days. I mean right behind King of Queens.

I went up to Happy Valley this past weekend and saw PSU win a game. In the process I received a speeding ticket that made everything even better.

My son just went trick or treating yesterday. He is 2 and went as a Bee for the second year in a row. Mommy and I devowered most of his trick or treating efforts.

I have a dentist appointment tommorrow. Not much else going on right except for being busy at work and being a dad which is probably one of the most tiring, but surely the greatest job off all.

I bid you goodnight.
