Stupid Headlines

by @ Tuesday, December 30th, 2003. Filed under Rants

This is why I hate news headlines. The first sentence of the story contridicts the headline. Headline: “Woman ticketed for appearing naked on Internet” First Sentence: “It wasn’t the fact that Melissa J. Harrington appeared naked on the Internet that got her in trouble with police.” So which is it?

Xander’s Still Sick

by @ Tuesday, December 30th, 2003. Filed under Family

Xander’s still a sick little boy. I spoke too soon yesterday it appears. In the afternoon his temp started back up and ended up around 103° for a little while again. Once again, it’s down below 100° this morning, but I’m not putting as much stock in that today.

Feeling Better

by @ Monday, December 29th, 2003. Filed under Family

Xander is doing better today. He’s still sick, but not nearly as sick as he was yesterday. Yesterday was the first time I can think of that he spent the entire day in his room except for going to the bathroom and getting a bath to help bring the fever down. His fever broke overnight [...]

Likely the Flu

by @ Sunday, December 28th, 2003. Filed under Family

Our best guess as of this morning is that Xander has the flu. He woke up with a fever of 102° It’s been as high as 103°, but we’ve managed to bring that back down. It’s drifting between 101 and 102 now. He’s been up in his room most of the day sleeping.

Merry Christmas

by @ Thursday, December 25th, 2003. Filed under Family, Personal

Merry Christmas again! We had a wonderful day today. Xander got us up around 6:30am. He came into our bedroom for a bit while Kate fed Mira. Then we went downstairs and did all the Christmas morning present stuff. Xander had a great time with it. Mira even helped open a few of her presents [...]

Merry Christmas

by @ Wednesday, December 24th, 2003. Filed under Family, Personal

Merry Christmas to everyone! The tree finally got put up this past weekend. All the presents are wrapped and under it. All the presents we sent via mail/UPS/etc made it where they needed to on time. Xander loves watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas. All is right with the world.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

by @ Wednesday, December 17th, 2003. Filed under Movies, Sci-Fi/Fantasy

I saw the third Lord of the Rings movie today. It was excellent, as expected. The only problem I had with it was that the ending was a bit drawn out. The rest of the movie was excellent though. The battles were amazing. Once again, things were very close to the book, but there are [...]

Thing Not to do While Watching LoTR: RoTK

by @ Tuesday, December 16th, 2003. Filed under Funny, Movies, Sci-Fi/Fantasy

I found this on Slashdot. Things not to do while watching The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. I’m off to see it tomorrow morning, as a work function no less. I love my job.

A Teaser trailer for Spider-Man 2 is out.

More Snow

by @ Monday, December 15th, 2003. Filed under Weather

4″ of wet nasty hard to shovel snow yesterday. Xander still enjoyed it though.

We Got Him

US forces have captured Saddam Hussein. Wow.

Earthquake

by @ Tuesday, December 9th, 2003. Filed under Weather

It appears that Virginia had a small earthquake today. No big deal for us. A few of the people at work felt the floor shake a little bit while it was happening, but that was about it.

The 30 Car

by @ Tuesday, December 9th, 2003. Filed under NASCAR, Sports

Johnny Sauter is going to be driving the AOL car next year. He’ll be getting the same crew chief that helped Harvick win his rookie of the year award in 2001. Hopefully things will come together next year for the 30 car!

The Da Vinci Code

by @ Monday, December 8th, 2003. Filed under Books

I just finished reading The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. This is easily one of the best books I’ve ever read. I can’t even imagine the amount of work that goes into writing a book like this. I can’t even really talk about it for fear of giving something away. It’s a great mystery [...]

Child’s Play

by @ Saturday, December 6th, 2003. Filed under Games, Internet/Tech, Personal

Penny Arcade is doing a good thing. They’ve already rasied over $64,000 in toys, games, books and whatnots for the Seattle Children’s Hospital.
