updates...

or lack thereof.

so, i'm still learning the whole blogging thing. (you guys should know that HATE that term-blog. i don't know why, i just like "online journal" better.) honestly, i wish i were as adept at it as my beautiful wife is. i still need to learn to add pictures and whatnot. but at least i can add hyperlinks! woo!

so, jen and i saw W. this weekend. it was good. honestly, at points, i actually felt bad for old G.W.. i kind of agree with the way that Stone portrays Bush, it didn't seem too off the mark, or unbelievable. i don't think that i could do the movie justice in my review, so i'll stop. i've never been very good at writing reviews of movies or books. you can find weatherboy on citysearch, but not so much on book reviews and stuff on amazon or things like that. anyways...

uh, school's fine. Jen's fine. she does a good job updating everyone on the goings-on with us on her blog as linked above; a much better job than i could.

my beloved Huskies lost again, i know when do i give up? the answer: never. i'll always want to stop what i'm doing to watch the Dawgs play football. someday, they'll start winning again. you guys can move on, if you want...i'll let you know when they win again. for now, i'll stand by my 0-6 Huskies. yes, ZERO WINS, and SIX LOSSES. nevertheless, i keep the faith.

oh, i just got a RAD lp in the mail. for those of you that don't know, i collect rare vinyl, of the rock/punk/alternative/grunge styles, from the late seventies to the mid-late nineties...all from the Pacific-Northwest. yes, i'm a child of the grunge era. i'm bringing that word back. especially since i've noticed that some of the old "grunge fashions" are starting to sprout up again. flannel seems to be creeping back into vogue...who would have thought? hm, moving on...i just got the Eight Way Santa album from the band TAD. i already own it on cd (also very rare), but i bought the LP with the "banned cover", here's the wiki page for the album, the picture of the original LP cover is there too. if you don't know TAD, you should. probably THE most underrated grunge band of the late 80's and early-mid 90's. plus, they ROCK...HARD. probably one of the heaviest bands i've ever heard. Tad's website is pretty rad and he's posted some of the band's songs and the band's history on it. OH, btw...TAD is the band, Tad Doyle is the guy who started the band and is the lead singer/guitar player.

sorry. i'm just really jazzed about the LP!

right, well, it's late and i have to get up and administer a LAUSD Test in English early tomorrow!

WOO! STANDARDIZED TESTING!
