Fire And Rain

Work and school have pretty much kept me away from the blog. The good news is that there hasn’t been much going on.  Jen and I watched a good episode of House on Monday.

The look on that babies face is insanely priceless! A spinoff show where House is charged with taking care on a young infant would equal ratings! The episode itself was pretty darn good but it looks like they are going for a big episode next Monday and I can’t wait! Heroes also returns that day as well! WIN!

I’d have a picture of the recent Scrubs episode except the people that run the ABC.com web site are severely lacking in the motivation department apparently. Anyway, Scrubs was great! The first episode alone had what felt like an endless supply of Sesame Street cameos. My personal favorite was Oscar the Grouch as the Chief of Medicine.

I got a pretty big pell check the other day as well. It was not expected but defitnely welcomed. We are paying off the credit cards and scoring ourselves and HD TV and some Blu-Ray goodness!

In the bummer news for this post, Kayla has been struggling socially at school and it seems to get worse every week. We are taking her to get tested for ADHD. We hope that it is not the case but the situation is starting to get out of hand and we need to eliminate or confirm this as a possibility.

No Scrubs (Sorry TLC, Not About You)

House returned on Monday. All was right with the world.

Very good episode I thought. The show is in a bit of a holding pattern at the moment though and that’s fine, every episode is still quite good. Just waiting for the next big revelation to come out…..perhaps it will be next week. Speaking of next week…Heroes returns with their new chapter. I am looking forward to what that has in store.

Okay obviously I was an idiot on for some reason thought that Scrubs would be on, it was not. I watched the whole inaguration ceremony though and it was quite a spectacle.

The crowd was huge! Say what you will but I LOVED the spectacle and the grandeur of it. Obama’s speech was very good I even re-watched it online later with Jen (who missed it because of work). From a historical standpoint it was magical, and the thought that the last person to put their hands on the book he was sworn in on was Abraham Lincoln gave me chills. It was truly a great moment and I hope it is something we can build off of. The cynic in me says to not get to excited but I maintain high hopes for a new mindset in this country.

I posted the text of the speech in my last entry. Below is the video courtesy of CNN.com

The Speech

My fellow citizens:

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebearers, and true to our founding documents.

The Night Of Good Impressions

The Epic show went pretty well. We had an okay draw and sold quite a lot of DVD’s so that’s always cool. For an extremely low budget operation we aren’t in bad shape. Match wise everything was pretty good. I really enjoyed the show in general, can’t wait to dig into the video tomorrow.

Not a lot else going on at the moment. I need to kick the “eating better” thing into high gear. I’m sick of eating crappy food that in the end makes me feel crappy.

We are paying off some bills today….hoooray! Okay so I’m not so excited about spending the money on bills but what are ya gonna do…..?

Scrubs tomorrow night and then the Presidential Inauguration on Tuesday. I don’t think I’ve ever watched one before so it should definitely be an experience.

Awwwwwwwwww

Have I had this as a blog title before? Okay sort of yes. Completely different circumstances though. You see Scrubs was on last night!

JD and Elliot returned to their persuit of romantic involvement with eachother. Is this yet another Scrubs tease? Will JD find a way to fuck it all up? Or do they finally commit and go through it? I was questioning weather or not it actually had any meaning anymore because they waited so long to do it. The answer was….YES still had some meaning as Jen and I both said “AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW” in that way when you see a sickenling cute kitten or puppy or baby monkey.

Not much else really going on. Epic has it’s first show of 2009 this Friday. I will be sure to write about how that all went. Next week House returns to the small screen and I ca’nt wait! By the way I am still totally hooked on Twitter! Follow me if you read this. The link is on the right hand side of the screen.

Steak Night!

It’s been a few days but there really has not been a lot action out in these parts. This is why I love Twitter so much. I can blog about all of the things to small or unimportant to actually place in a blog entry.

Scrubs came back last night and in doing so brought forth it’s greatness to once again shed light on a dim and cruel world.

I mean this is likely the last season with the full cast and I must say i was really happy with the not one but TWO episodes that aired last night with the second being the better of the two. Did anyone actually think JD and Turk were going out to Steak Night instead of hangin’ with george?  I do hope to see more with Kelso though. I want to marry Ted.

In other news the promotion has apparently picked up a new sponsor today in Modern Age Media. It’s a shop here in Bay City that deals comic books, cards, and also rents DVDs and games. Pretty sweet deal. We will be selling tickets through them starting with our next event.

We started back with School yesterday as well. All is quiet on the homework front until tomorrow. I must also decide on what I want to do for my Philosophy final a tough choice to be sure. None the less I am soooooooooooo looking forward to it.
