Month: October 2002

I wish it wasn’t so windy. It’s just a gorgeous sunny day, with those nice puffy white clouds on blue blue blue sky. And the wind is enough to drive you back inside. I hate that…it’s bad enough that there aren’t many “warm” days left, but to have the wind bully its way in to take a Sunday away is just unforgivable.

I was going to suggest to Jr. that we head out to the playground, but those tend to be pretty open. Lucky for us he enjoys our swingset, which is within spitting distance of the nice warm house, and also has trees blocking at least a little of the wind.

Oh, and before I forget, Congrats to JPL for his soccer team’s undefeated season! Woo hoo!

Finally! Jonah finally arrived at my local theater, a mere two weeks after it opened “nationally”. It was a very very cute movie, well done, with awesome animation, and great music. I personally loved the story but I can see that some people not interested in seeing a Bible story animated for the big screen might avoid it. I think they’ll be missing out, but that’s not my problem.

Personally, I’m just sorry that my least favorite Veggie, Archibald, was the “star” but truly he did share the screen with Larry enough to make up for it. Plus, his travelling buddy Khalil stole the whole movie. In the car on the way home the 3 kids (11, 10, and 4) were quoting a LOT of his lines. Hell, the 4-year-old quoted a whole section of the movie…I didn’t think he normally memorized dialog until he had seen something at least twice, but there you go. If you saw the movie, he did Jonah’s speech when Khalil snacks on the tree….

Anyway, it’s definitely worth a look, and I was happy to see quite a few families in the theater… not a bad afternoon, given that we only had to pay the matinee rate. And boy, am I glad I already own the soundtrack…we’ve listened to it like 4 times since 6pm yesterday.

Boy, the way those Rhinocs smack the little panda bears around in Spyro 3 is just criminal. Of course, you know I’m kidding and I only wrote that to see what turns up in the google searches a week or so from now.

But they do smack them around. I think the funniest one is when they are dressed up like hockey players and they slap-shot the ice skating Panda. She has a North Dakota accent, for the record.

Ya, can you tell we’re still playing Spyro 24/7? Right now Junior keeps asking me to do stuff for him because “it’s too hard.” I’ve realized he’s just being lazy about it, and doesn’t want to make more than 3-4 attempts before giving up. The new mantra is “If it’s too hard then you’d better turn it off. Either that or just keep practicing.”

I found a pair of jeans on the shelf in my closet and thought to myself “Oh my gosh, look, a gift from heaven above! I didn’t know these were here! So I’m wearing them today. Super!

I remember why they were on the shelf. That hole on my upper thigh makes these some less than choice for public consumption. I think I can keep wearing them until I need to go back out of the house again. I hope I can remember.

I’m the #1 hit on google for “peeeeeeee”.
