I Am The Messenger

I can’t wait until tomorrow cause Megan and I will be heading to the beach with the Landon family. It’s always nice to get away for a while. We’ll be gone from Friday evening until Sunday afternoonish. Should be a nice little getaway, even if the weather sucks.

Last night Megan and I went to the library. Last time we went to the library, Megan rented a movie called “The Business of Being Born”. It was very informative in the areas of mid-wives and home births, and how some hospitals tend to operate. A good dvd to watch for anyone planning on becoming a parent someday. I had to stop watching though at one point. They were showing a shot of Riki Lake (you remember her, eh?) at home going through painful contractions. She was leaning against a counter one second wearing a hospital robe, and the next second she had flipped it off and was disgustingly topless. My eyeballs exploded and my scrotum sack retreated far up into my stomach. But other that kind of stuff, it was really informative.

I got the movies this time: Run Lola Run (haven’t watched it since I did with Aaron Carioto and Jason Hornby in high school), The Seventh Seal, and Rashomon (a Kurosawa film). So far, we’ve started Rashomon. About two weeks ago I watched The Seven Samurai which was amazing. I was a bit hesitant to even watch any Kurosawa films as his fanboys are always such nerds, but so far I really do like his films. I also found Radioheads: In Rainbows at the library. An album I have yet to even listen to.

Version 3.0 of the Zune software came out and it’s quite amazing and fun to play with and the latest iTunes also came out. I updated that for Megan but haven’t had the chance to play around with it too much yet.

I finally got into armor this last weekend in Kendo. It’s hard to see and having not worked out in over a month and a half now (no room to continue p90x in the current place we live at) I lost all of my endurance and training has been a real struggle for me the past couple of weeks. That and my feet keep getting tore up. I got a nice bruise on the top of my head from last week. I suck at Kendo so far in this advanced quarter, and the month or so off didn’t help any. 

Megan and I are getting ready to move again. We knew this current place was only temporary as it is for sale. We are going to be moving to the top floor of another Cushman 9 home in the hilltop area. Last weekend I went through some stuff and threw away a huge bag of stuff. It always feel great to do that. I’ll do some more of it through the next couple of weeks. 

It sucks fall is here already, but I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. Hopefully it doesn’t rain when we start to move.

A classic that I had forgotten about. Please enjoy.

So who’s into tea? I’ve been drinking alot of this stuff lately and love it. What are some good flavors that you’d recommend? I’m currently enjoying some Vanilla Almond tea with a tad of milk and some sugar. I use filtered tea packets over the loose leaves, but usually by nicer brands of it. 

I’ve also gotten myself into a couple of cool games for the Wii. One being No More Heroes, and the other Medal Of Honor Heroes 2 online. I usually play after Megan goes to sleep, so if you’re into first person shooters online, I like to play capture the flag. Using the Wii remote and nun-chuck is an excellent FPS setup.
