look it up, fool.

My family is growing by 33%.

We got some shocking news today. It still doesn't seem real every time I say it.

Amy is pregnant with twins.



Wait WHAT?!?!

What did I just say?


So what do I do now? Lets see... new car, bunk beds, and 2 of everything else.

Oh man...

Three Four is not company.

It's perfect, and we are stopping at 3 4.

(Amy is pregnant, and I am uber-excited!)

Therapy.

This is an actual recent conversation at my house.

Bella: Mom, look. I named my doll "Therapy".

Amy [holding back laughter]: Therapy, really. How did you pick that name?

Bella: You know, Therapy, like on my pancakes! (she likes a lot of syrup)

I dig it.

If I go out to my back yard right now and start digging - and keep digging and digging - I will end up in the Indian Ocean. No shit. If you live in the Western United States you will too. See for yourself, here. Ah, the wonders of google maps.

The Weatherman

I don't know what it is about dark comedies, but I hate them. It has something to do with the main characters perpetually fucking up while simultaneously wallowing in their misery. I have always hated dark comedies and I thought that I always would.

That said, The Weatherman was the funniest dark comedy I have ever seen. There were quite a few laugh-out-loud moments, including an instant classic involving driving gloves. I was still laughing about it 10 minutes later. I won't spoil it because you need to see it.

Go!

Powerball

Yeah, I play powerball every now and then when I have a few bucks burning a hole in my pocket. So yesterday I bought a couple tickets and took my chances at winning the 101 million.

So the actual numbers were:
18 22 23 38 45 Powerball 31

My numbers?
18 21 24 38 51 Powerball 32

2 numbers matched and 3 numbers were off by one freaking digit!

What do you win if you match 4 numbers and a powerball? 10K.

I got my 360.

Got up early with the girls today and, on a whim, called Fred Meyer to see if they has any Xbox 360's. The guy said that he got some core systems in the previous night at midnight, so I booked on over there and bought myself a core system, a dvd remote, an extra wireless controller, a play-n-charge thing and Call of Duty 2. They didn't have any HDDs, so I think I am going to head over to Best Buy later to get one.

When it is all said and done (after I buy the HDD), I will have spent $50 more than it would have cost to buy a premium system. Oh well. It's better than waiting.
