Sigh

Not much going on.

Still haven't found a game to play. I've been looking at Table Tennis for Wii but that doesn't come out until the end of October. I'm really excited about it though. The videos I've seen and reviews I've read have all been really good. I played the dog out of some ping pong back when I was in high school and the first couple of years of college and I've always wanted a table. Hopefully this will be as good as it looks to be.

I'm still missing reading Harry Potter. I considered starting again, but I think it's too soon. I'm going to wait a little while. I'm ready for OotP to come out on DVD. I intend to re-watch all of the movies when it does.

Music obsession of the moment would be the new album by Athlete. It's called Beyond the Neighbourhood and it's really great. I loved their first album, Tourist, and this one's just as good if not better. The new Foo Fighters CD came out yesterday too. I haven't gotten it yet, but I like the single.

Speaking of the Foo Fighters. They had a special on one of our HD channels the other night. It was one of their shows from their acoustic tour they did last year. It was one of the better shows I've seen lately. Still loving the dish network. Having ESPN in HD has spoiled me on college football. We don't have our locals in HD, so they look like garbage compared to ESPN and ESPN2. In fact, most of the HD is pretty awesome. We've been watching a lot of CSI: Miami on A&E and catching any music shows on MHD and Rave that sound interesting. We've also recorded a couple of movies off of the movie channel. Other than that, I'm pumped for the new season of Heroes. I can't wait to see where they go this year. Bionic Woman looks pretty good too. The first episode showed up on our DVR, courtesy of dish the other day, so we watched it and liked it.

Well, gonna have to run and get ready for church. Courtney, since you seem to still be reading, I plan on emailing you tomorrow and we'll talk about this bayfest thing. Sounds interesting.

Later all,

Obligtory Post of the Month

I had a few moments and my thoughts turned to the blog so I thought I'd post. Since I'm averaging only one or two a month, I doubt there's many of you still reading this, but why not keep going.

I finished the Harry Potter series last week. Book five was a bit of a struggle to get through but after that, 6 and 7 made it worth getting through 5. Book 7 really blew me away. The whole series is great. Rowling really has to go back and write some more books in the Harry Potter universe. They don't even have to be about Harry. She's created a world that has the endless possibilities that all the best fantasy series hold. It could easily be as endless as Star Wars or the Tolkien books. I'm really glad I read them and I'm looking forward to the last two movies. They should be really good if they're done right.

Football season has started and Auburn looks about as bad as they've ever looked and that's about all I've got to say about that.

I haven't been playing any games lately. I'm actually kind of lost here after having finished the Potter books. I've not seen any games that I've just had to play. There are several coming out between now and the end of the year though, so I'm just trying to hold out till then.

DeAnne is doing really well. Her back isn't giving her any trouble and she's really enjoying her new job.

The only other real news is that we've switched from cable to DISH Network. We got a package deal through the phone company for DISH, DSL, and all kinds of phone features that we didn't have before. So far, we love it. We got the HD package and it looks great on the TV. It really does make a dramatic difference. We also got DVR with it and I don't know how we ever dealt with the VCR. The DVR is just too awesome. Our internet is about 3 times faster than what we were getting from the cable company so that's pretty cool too.

So that's about it for now. Who knows, maybe I'll get a second post in later this month.

Later,
