Meat Loaf

Filed under Family, Food

I had a great time today working with Xander and Mira to make meat loaf, using Alton’s recipe, and it turned out quite tasty also! Xander helped me with the spices for the meat loaf and the cutting up of the veggies. He also helped me mix everything together before we put it [...]

Halo 3 Is Out!

Filed under Games, xbox 360

I’ve played my first few minutes of Halo 3. I’ve got a migraine today, so I only played for about 30 minutes. I played a brief bit of single player just to see how it looks (it looks great in 1080p, by the way). Then I took a quick jaunt into multiplayer [...]

Good Eats!

Good Eats! We ordered the first 12 volumes of Good Eats recently and they arrived last night! Good Eats is one of our favorite shows and we’ve watched it for years and years. Alton does such a good job of explaining food in a way a nerd like me can understand and [...]

WRGPT17

As is usual this time of year, I’ve registered for the WRGPT Email Poker Tournament.  I was entrant number 21 this year!  Last year I didn’t do so well.  I finished 1133 out of 1314.  Hopefully this year I’ll make a better showing!

New Kingdom Hearts Games!

by @ Friday, September 21st, 2007. Filed under DS, Games, PSP, RPG

There is news coming from TGS about three new Kingdom Hearts games. One of them is a mobile phone game, so I doubt I’ll end up with that one. The other two are for the DS and PSP, which I’ll certainly end up picking up. No solid info on when these might [...]

Walking With Dinosaurs

by @ Thursday, September 20th, 2007. Filed under Family

Xander got to go and see Walking With Dinosaurs today with his class.  He said that it was awesome and that he had a lot of fun.  I wish we could have all gone with him, it looks like it would be a great show!

Avast, me hearties!  Don’t forget that today be Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Halo Nights

by @ Wednesday, September 19th, 2007. Filed under Funny, Games, Music, xbox 360

Speaking of Halo 3! A music video called Halo Nights is out on the net, which I thought was pretty funny.

BioShock Complete!

by @ Tuesday, September 18th, 2007. Filed under Games, xbox 360

Just finished BioShock a few minutes ago.  It was an awesome game!  The atmosphere they were able to maintain throughout the game was amazing.  It was an excellent mix of excitement and creepiness and an excellent story to go along with it.
I’m all clear now for Halo 3 next week!

Homemade Tortilla Chips

by @ Saturday, September 15th, 2007. Filed under Food

Kate and I got our act together today and did some actual cooking.  We made the homemade tortilla chips that we saw on an episode of Good Eats we recently found on the TiVo.  We didn’t make the tortillas ourselves this time, we bought those, but we fried the chips ourselves.  They are very good [...]

First Day of School 2007 Update

by @ Wednesday, September 5th, 2007. Filed under Family

The kids both had a great day today!  They enjoyed the first day at school and are looking forward to going back tomorrow.  They were both pretty tired though.  It sounded like they both got to do a nice mix of learning and fun that they didn’t realize was learning.  From the reports of the [...]

First Day of School 2007

by @ Wednesday, September 5th, 2007. Filed under Family

The kids went off to their first day of school today.  They are at a new school this year, and when I say a new school, I mean a new school.  This is the first year for this school.  There are two classes, one primary and one lower elementary.  They each have 4 students currently.  [...]

50th Anniversary

by @ Sunday, September 2nd, 2007. Filed under Family, Vacation

We just got home from a trip to my parents.  We were there celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary.  The whole family was there, of course.  We’d (heading up by one of my sisters) organized a big party for them on Saturday, which went great!  There were lots of extended family and friends there and Mom [...]

New Bowling Record!

by @ Saturday, September 1st, 2007. Filed under Family, Games, Wii

We are at my parents house today.  I woke up this morning and walked out to the living room where Xander and one of his cousins were playing Wii Sports Bowling.  Xander announced that he’d gotten 8 strikes in a row!  Sure enough, that’s what his score card read.  He turned his attention back to [...]
