So the consensus over the past 24 hours is that we will go to the Denton Cinemark for the 8:30 showing of Spiderman on Friday. I would advise buying your tickets today, and getting to the theatre fairly early. Maybe bring a book, I dunno. I’ve also discussed the idea of getting some food either before or after the movie. No definitive plans have been made, there is no obligation for food if you just want to see the movie.

In short:
Friday Movie Night
Spiderman 3
Cinemark
Start Time: 8:30

Donna Summer – Hot Stuff

CFLs are a lot better than you may imagine. In less than a week, I have completely grown accustomed to the look and feel of the 30 CFLs that have replaced traditional incandescent bulbs in my house.

Currently I am biding my time and saving my dollars to replace the remaining bulbs (the first 30 cost $7 for 4 bulbs, the specialty bulbs will cost about $9 per bulb – they all will last 7-10 YEARS, though)

So read this article, then go the Home Depot and buy some N:Vision CFL bulbs. They’re great and will save you tons of money.

…oh, and ignore all the sexist banter in the article, heather likes the CFLs just fine.

Duran Duran – Reflex

I try my best to surround myself with people who kick much ass in a variety of senses. My wife, who was already at the top of the list, has once again proven her deserving title of top ass kicker.

I both love and fear her with all my heart.

Filter – Hey Man, Nice Shot

I have found lately that I am not blogging nearly as much as I would like to be. I have come to determine that my photo of the day project seems to be blocking me from actual blogging. The two are mutually exclusive and quite often the photo of the day has nothing to do with what I actually did that day, but it always feels like I’ve performed my duty to make a “daily post” when I finally upload that photo.

The baby is coming along great as far as we can tell, we go in to get the ultrasound in 10 days to see what gender it is. We’re hoping for a girl now more than ever because while we agreed on a girl’s name almost immediately, we’ve pretty much shot down every boy’s name each of us has offered.

I’m starting to prepare all the art for the mural in the nursery. I got the lions and tigers done and now am on to the giraffe, trees, and mountains. Once I get them all vectorized, I’ll start laying out the actual mural. Its going to be awfully cute. I just hope it translates to paint as well as it does in my head.

We had 6 dead trees taken down in our yard this weekend. Now we’re no longer afraid of them falling on the house. We only fear how much the city is going to charge us to carry away all the limbs.

Had a D&D game this weekend. Hadn’t planned it out at all short of some musing I did in bed here and there. I think it turned out fairly well, considering. Everyone seemed to have a pretty good time.

Went to Derek’s Surprise Birthday party. Had a great time. Played some Guitar Hero, drank to a nice easy buzz and maintained it. Played some Carcassonne and generally just hung out. I miss those kinds of parties. Who’s next?

Derek and I are starting to have these regular “man dates.” A couple weeks ago we went and saw Grindhouse. Yesterday we went and saw How Fuzz. Fun times. Derek hung out with the Simpsons and we tried to figure out how to kidnap the Silver Surfer.

This week, SOVA is being re-accredited. A lot of people are stressed out and dressed up. Craig has his orange shirt and tie. He looks like Dilbert on Halloween.

My back still hurts from moving 6 trees worth of firewood, but it felt good to get out, work hard, and get dirty. Speaking of which, does anyone know how to get sap out of a shirt?

Here’s hoping this next week doesn’t flood us out again.

Fishbone – Lemon Meringue

Flogging Molly – The Rare Ould Times

Someday I’ll figure out why Flickr keeps desaturating my photos. For now, just pretend that they are more contrasty.
