10:52 pm: Tax Day
Fmv? WTF: That is what I learned for this tax season. What was once a refund is now gone.... Homo emptor!

I'll be best man again this June. I love it. My friend for whom I'll best just called. Stress he has, for his canine friend perished this morning. It's been a string bad luck for him:
- familial cancer (2x)
- pending marriage
- financial stress
- work stress
- stress stress

I told him that I felt some comfort in that he's having worse problems. We both chuckled. On my weekend away I'll go to him.

This just in: allergies suck and even if you are frugal a family is not inexpensive.

Each day is a haze. I cannot think and my rpg is on "E".

10:43 am: Update, or what Sucks?I
 I have been requested to do an update.

Update:
Allergies: Suck
Chicken pox: Suck
Burning hand on gas stove at farm stay: Suck

Good news:

• The family is generally healthy.
• We are not getting our food from foraging, scavenging, of food stamps.
• We are not homeless.
• We are currently not under a zombie attack.

I am told that if we have the Zombie Scenario, Spousing said I could buy firearm(s).  It would be fun, provided we are not eaten.

02:23 pm: Yay!
I have added weiskind as a friend!  Do not be shocked -- this does not mean that much as all my posts are public!  Yay!

I have a new daughter who is five or so weeks old.  Great stuff.  This week I have seen sun, rain, snow, hail.    Soon there will be frogs and lava falling from the sky.

Puns

Happy Easter!

10:54 am: Oh, what fun it is to ride inside the four horse of the apocalypse like Luke.
There have been some big events in my life, and it has been great fun.

I am a new father. L.O.B. was born on Friday February 16, 2008 at 0220 at home. S was transfered to a hospital via ambulance at 0700 due to hemorrhaging. She received two blood transfusions and we spent the night there. Friends in the community watched X for us as he could not spend the night. It was some big fun. We are now home. S is resting. L is healthy. X is rambunctious as ever. It is great bug fin.

12:23 pm: Stuff has been happening....
No new human yet. We took a long walk to aid in the process, but to no avail!

We say King of Kong last night. WOW! There is some great music on it that is 8-bit style. The special features are fun. I am surprised just how hard Donkey Kong is.... Wacky.... It only takes a little over two hours to get the highest score in the world! After you see the movie, NOTE THAT THIS IS A SPOILER, you might like this as it will give you a taste of Austin. Do check out the special features: There is one character that is pretty Awesome. Wow....

NetFlix
IMDB

Fun stuff. This reminds me of my video game past. I think that J8H would like it.

Here is something that I found on Digg. I feel a 'little' bit better now! Phew: Give me a *!

Also, I found this great thing for V day! Holly Crampskiis

Spowsiis will be happy to know that there is a Sex and the City, but will it be good.

There is also a new version of Vector TD out. I am not too much into it this time. The puzzle mode has a great fire-and-forget quality. Make your towers and walk away. Check in thirty minutes and see if you have a high score....

12:40 am: Wacky...
I found these old links from some fun that I did back in 2001:

There really isn't that much attention given to first ascents or first traversals for that matter. This stuff feels like a lifetime ago.

10:40 am: A weekend sans X
Friday 2008-01-18:
The LSXv went to see across the universe. X has a good time and likes the music. The movie tried to do so much. In some cases it succeeded, but in others it failed. They needed more money and time to make it more polished. Too bad -- it's is a cool idea. I think it would be cool if they make some Pink Floyd music into a movie....

Saturday 2008-01-19:
The SXv drop me off in Albany, OR so I can catch the Amtrak to Portland. I went to see JHogan. Portland was grand fun. We went to Ground Control and play ancient arcade games. We made many high scores. Ms. Pacman gets particularly hard when the ghost no longer turn blue. I got the mud-pie level in Donkey Kong. J8H got to level four in Tron. As usual I sucked in Tempest.... Those games are wicked hard.

Sunday 2008-01-20:
We drive to Astoria, OR to celebrate the goonies. We lunch at a Bosnian place and have some great food. We go to see the Astoria Column. It was grand. We drove to Seaside, OR and grabbed a motel on by the beach. J8H wanted time to nap, read, journal, and stuff. I went out to explore the beach. Droves of folk were headed out to clam. I decided I would run. I went south toward Tilamook Head for 30+ minutes and walked back. I returned some 1.5-2.0 hours later. My desire for Cloverfield was not to be staunched so we went and enjoyed. We spent too much time driving back. We saw so little old-growth on the drive. They have hacked this state into one big tree-farm. It would have been grand to have seen this place in the 30s when many of the grand valleys still stood.

Monday 2008-01-21:
Prior to going to bed I watched Randy Pausch's Last Lecture. Quite amazing. The way he deals with mortality is a big reason to like this, but he does so much more.

X starts getting really sick.

May I suggest some Su?

Tuesday 2008-01-22:
Some time around 0530 I get asleep after trying to help X in his sickness. I think this is the worse night ever with any illness he has suffered. I woke up around 1400, but could hardly think. Sleep deprivation is poopy.

Wednesday 2008-01-23:
They folks are making tons of noise in our Flat. There is a suspicion that sound travels too well from our unit to our neighbor below. I am in a coffee shop drinking herbal tea. Caffeine is poopy and shall not be consumed.

Here is some older stuff:
-Sunday I went on a hike to traipse in Oregon Old Growth. I found out a tad more about the WOPR initiative.
-XMas was white. We traipsed to Mary's Peak to see more snow with the Kimdom Complex.
-Tried to work on the day after.

03:04 pm: This is stale, but it needs to be linked in my journal!
Oh yeah.  I like this tiger.

02:14 pm: Oh yes...
I like it.

09:49 am: Amtrak Baby....
The SXv sleep.  We have started doing shifts again as the Le X Mang is having some trouble with it.  We are going to train down to LAX and arrive there sometime in a few days.  Will you be ready to party?

We are currently thinking about going to Catalina Island.  Can you stand it?

I have started running again.  I bought new shoes and go running in the park next to the home.  It is spiffy goodness.  I hope to do more FFP in the future.  That is all.
