Big news from the party boat.

Well, not really big news. Or interesting, really. Nor is it from the party boat.

The news:
1)So Joseph seem to be all better, but has somehow turned into the most accident prone kid ever. I don't really think he all that clumsy or anything, but lately he just seems to be getting knocked around a lot. Yesterday, he was coming over from the couch where Jennifer was sitting, to the chair where I was sitting, and slipped on a copy of Goodnight Moon. He then hit his chin on the coffee table and bit his lip pretty good. Poor guy.

2) Swine flu, Schwine flu. Looks to be about as bad as the bird flu pandemic, which barely left rural China.

3) I started picking up a few shifts at another coffee shop, The Coffee House on Cherry St. The shop is lovely, and they seem like good people. I was hesitant to get back into coffee after so long, but it all came back to me lightening quick. It's easy and I know it by heart and I need to save up for a new car. So come see me. I work nights. Part time. Maybe text me first to see if I'm there. Or not. You should go there anyway, actually. They serve good stuff. The meatloaf sandwich is the poo.

4) They keep cancelling, or are threatening to cancel some really good shows. The ones that make TV tolerable with Idol running around screaming all the time. Chuck, Life, The Unusuals, Castle, Reaper, Kings and several others all might get axed. This in addition to ER, Boston Legal, BSG, and few others ending that were actually supposed to. Seems like fall will be truly all new.
A lot of shows deserve it. I think the world will be a better place when Carlos Mencia no longer has a show.

5) Speaking of... Life on Mars ended after only one season, and I have to say, it had the worst series finale I have ever watched on purpose. (I'm talking to you, Seinfeld!). The original British version was way better, and was way more esoteric. Even the ending had several different possible interpretations. The American version gave us a definite answer, and it sucked. Spoiler: Echoing the "who shot JR? Oh golly nobody because it was all a dream! bullshit, the whole thing was a freaking video game! LAME.

6) We are turning into commune hippies. We have a garden, Jen bakes all our bread now, and she successfully served three children smoothies this morning that contained spinach and cucumber and soy milk. Peace, dude.

7) I find it laughable that after living in Colorado in the '90s and having Blues Traveler crammed down my throat for so long, they now have to play casinos. Bite it, fatty.

8) My computer caught a virus, and destroyed itself. Everything gone. Luckily, most of the family pics were on Flickr or on my work computer. The movies are gone, but I hear you can move music back to the computer from the ipod, so I'll have to mess with that a bit. The shit thing is all the graphics programs that I acquired through "completely legitimate" means. I cannot acquire such programs in such a way now. So I have to save my pennies now, I guess. bummer.

That is all.
