Step Child

Look at the hair on the step child on the right, epic. Well the weekend is almost here, so luckily it's raining on a biblical proportion right now and will for the rest of the weekend. Crap.

I like the new book cover Dad.

I’m eating a bowl of vegetable soup for lunch because I’m fat. Seriously. I’ve never weighed more than I do right now. The crippling combo of the holidays, too many midweek hops and failed new years resolutions has pushed my poundage to new heights. I’ve started working out 4 times a week instead of just playing basketball once or twice a week (which used to keep my lbs in check) and eating a little better. I guess this is part of the joy of being 30. The good news is that I hear it only gets worse. Lovely.

For the first time in a while Tracey and I have an open weekend with nothing really planned. We finished our taxes this week and we actually get money back this year. It’s been a long time since that has happened. As soon as that check comes in, we’re getting a new vehicle. With the Jetta not being so reliable these days, and me driving tons of miles in traffic with a stick shift with no AC, it’s time for me to get an upgrade. Although I like Xterras right now, we’ll prolly end up with something practical like a Camry or Accord. Doing 450 miles a week warrants something with better MPG than a nice roomy SUV, I guess.

March 8, free TMBG show at Borders in Ann Arbor, for those Midwesterners.

I’m not excited about this.

Or the gimmick being used on this show tonight.

But I am excited about this and this.

Good interview with the Arrested Development creator guy.

I hate dynastys

Because I'm depressed about the superbowl outcome and I have to work a very long Monday, I needed this picture to get me thinking about good times ahead. The pic is the view from the back of our beach rental in Mexico for Memorial Day weekend this year. We went to this place last year and had a great time. It will come at a price though, my friend Dustin is getting married that weekend and I will have to miss it, sorry dude.

Hope everyone's Monday goes better than mine. I'm off to watch Arrested Development on DVD.
