MOVE!!!

A few years ago Jimmy Falon had a funny skit on SNL called the "Nick Burns The Computer Guy". Well I ran into the real life version of him at work. I run the movie club, so every Thursday I set the movie up before the kids get there.

This past Thursday the door was locked, so I had to go to the computer guy to get him to open it. He said he would and then started to walk incredibly fast to the conference room where we show the movies. He was taking two steps at a time up the stairs case. I don't know what his rush was but after he opened the door and we both went to the DVD player he grabbed the DVD from my hand and started to set stuff up. It was really annoying because every time I tried to do something like start the movie, fix the volume, or turn on the subtitles he was there literally taking the remote out of my hand and trying to do it.

The real annoying part was this guy had no idea how to use it because he is not the computer guy who usually works with it. I couldn't tell him to bugger off because he didn't really speak English. I guess the moral of the story is the annoying computer guy is not limited to any border.

I bet he wouldn't have treated Jack like that.

King Of The House

Calvin has entered a stage of disobedience. The other day, Celine went to play soccer and left me with the two boys for an hour. No big deal, right? Well, she left and Calvin decided to pull a Hilts on me. I was making cookies and went out to the living room and he was gone. I eventually found him playing with his friends outside.

Then, I put him in his room for a few minutes and started to give Harrison a bath in the sink. Things are going good, and I let Calvin out of his room and he sits on the counter in the bathroom and helps me give Harrison a bath. Then, he picks up Celine's perfume. I told him to put it down and not to touch it. I then turn my attention back to Harrison when I hear a thud and Calvin starts screaming bloody murder. I think he just hit his head, but I shortly realize that he sprayed himself in the eye with the perfume, to which I respond, "I told you not to touch that" He then got to be sprayed in the face with water because I was trying to rinse it out, but I am not sure spraying immense amounts of water in my son's face after having alcohol sprayed in it was the best thing to do.

But I will say - I still go dinner served, the dishes done, bath completed, and most importantly, cookies made, all within an hour. King of the house!

It's a...

You know it is just bad timing when your body decides to sneeze and burp at the same instant. It is worse when you feel both coming on and can't stop it. I was thinking this bizarre phenomenon (that was a hard word to spell) needs a name. Any ideas?

Down With The Laziness

I have been reprimanded for my lack of posting of late. Sorry I have been lazy the past few months. I feel uninspired to write or I put of writing the few brilliant ideas I do have. I believe this to be for two reasons

1. I hurt my shoulder which has made it very difficult to workout which you think would result in more free time and an increase in blogging but it has actually made me lazier, unmotivated, and apathetic to life.

2. My brother let me borrow a bunch of his DVDs when I went home last summer. I brought back a bunch of TV shows and after watching all the good ones I had to resort to watching the Gilmore Girls which he made me bring. I never intended to watch it but with so much free time and nothing else to do I reluctantly started to watch. The show has a lot of flaws but I got into it and actually enjoyed watching it quite a bit.

Number 16?

I just read an article on Entetainment Weeklys website that listed the top 20 heros of all time. Can you believe they put Jack Bauer at number 16? Who do they think they are? This is an outrage. Captain Kirk, Buffy, Harry Potter, and James Bond are some of the losers that beat out Jack. Here are some acceptable winners that beat out Jack are Jonh McClane, Dirty Harry, Mad Max, Indiana Jones, and Han Solo
