My Midwestern dream: get a deep freezer in my garage that contains a pillow sized bag of shredded cheese.

"Jas-son Garson!"

It's getting down to the wire. Four days till closing, 7 days till we move. Does anyone even care about this countdown stuff??? Sheesh. I feel like saying "no more talkie talkie...just move in already darnit!" I wish we could. I am being patient, i promise.

Jason and I are really looking forward to or closing on Friday August 24th. It will be filled with pens and paper and emotion (I'm guessing here, but chances are, I'll cry.) Although, for the record, i have yet to get misty eyed about anything.

We have done so much to prepare for our big move, yet, it always seems like there isn't enough time to do it all. I'm trying to keep my head on straight and not freak out about how much stuff I've thrown away (or how much i've kept for that matter.) And for the most part we're just waiting for them to say "congratulations, " - so we can get crack-a-lackin.

Jason has the day off today (he isn't "feeling well" ((wink wink))) and will be doing some small errands to help get us ready. AKA - pick up an order at Blinds To Go. Seriously though, he's not feeling well.

Our current residence is turned upside down. There are boxes everywhere. We haven't cooked a hot meal in a week, and i don't see an end to the "take out food" clause we signed off on. We're trying places we didn't even know exsisted. Even found a pretty good pizza place. It's been right up the road for 6 years. They cook their pizza in a wood fired oven that looks like a fancy fireplace. We'll prolly eat there again this week. Or, there's the frozen pizza we bought. Oh, the variety! On the flipside, Jason has promised that he'll be whipping up gourmet delicacies morning noon and night at the new place. I'm looking forward to that! "Jas-son garson!"

Coming Soon to your XBox 360!





When Jason emailed me about this game yesterday - and said, "basically you roll around and stuff sticks to you." He wasn't kidding! Out October 26th, Beautiful Katamari looks to be loads of fun! I played the demo last night and instantly fell in love :-) And for some strange reason it reminds me of Hayao Miyazaki's animated fantasy Spirited Away!

Check out the E3 trailer chickadee! (they call you that in the game!)

Deadly DHL Drivers

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but DHL drivers are crazy! While driving to work today, my merge onto I 395 was cut short by some road construction. Traffic was swift, and i needed to merge sooner than normal, so I look in my mirror and sure enough there was a DHL van right in my way - he almost ran me over! And this isn't the first time this has happened to me. I've had mulitiple near death driving experiences with DHL vans. A few weeks ago there were three trucks racing each other in the 3rd street tunnel and they swerved around my car like i was an orange cone on a race track. Scary. So now, everytime I see a DHL truck i'm hypersensitive to my surroundings to make sure I stay alive! Just to recap: UPS and FedEX - you're fine - but DHL - they show no mercy! Please drive safe everybody.

Ok, you asked for it! It is time to rock.

This is the funniest! From the very first Robot Chicken on Adult Swim (which for the record plays too many darn Futurama episodes, please stop!)

It doesn't get much better than this! Click below to enjoy!
