We Apologize For The Inconvenience

I just got an email from Netflix that ended that way.  Essentially, Netflix is eliminating profiles, the feature that allowed you to have multiple queues on a single account.  The entire text of the email is available on their FAQ.  Jaime and I used this feature to allow us to each have a list of [...]

170

That’s how many DVDs we own.  It’s also how many days until our little one is expected to arrive (Nov 29, 2008).  (Longish story ahead, skip to the bullets for some good deals!)
Jaime and I are getting ready for the baby, and one of our family goals is for Jaime to stay home with baby.  [...]

Drive-In Take 2

Jaime and I went to the Drive-In again last night.  We brought a radio, which significantly helped with the sound issues.  We also stayed for both features: Indiana Jones and Iron Man.  Indy was exactly what I would expect from an Indiana Jones movie.  It had all the pieces I would expect it to have [...]

The American Idol Finale

Some thoughts from Jaime and I as we’re watching the show:

They are an advertising machine.

Apparently there is a dance show on Fox.
And Ryan can dance!
There’s some Love Guru also.
And Disney wants some love.
David Cook does Risky Business Guitar Hero.  Archy too.

It’s great to see the Top 12 again.
Amanda Overmeyer looks like she’s having the time [...]

Dueling Davids

Not a lot to say this evening.  Archuleta was his usual self.  All the songs were kinda the same if you ask me.  Cook showed his versatility.  He looked a little out of it this evening.  I think Archuleta wins, but Cook goes on to sell more albums.

Lord Caspian

As expected, the sound was just OK last night at the movie.  People kept turning on their cars, lights would start blinking, and random other distractions (such as the bats) kept happening.  That said, I can’t blame all of that for the movie’s poor performance. 
I think I was expecting something better after the first [...]

Drive-Caspian

I am at the Transit Drive-In waiting for Prince Caspian to start, blogging on the free wireless connection they provide.  I must admit, this is definitely a point in favor of the Drive-In experience.  I’m still not convinced this is better than the actual theater experience, at least at a good theater that doesn’t charge [...]

God of This City

My “favorite” song changes a lot. My pattern is to get attached to a few songs and listen to those for a while, then move on. Generally speaking, I stay within the same group of artists. Chris Tomlin made my list of Top 5 Christian Artists back in November and sings my [...]

Close, But No Cigar

Well, my first pick for American Idol didn’t win, but I feel good picking someone who at least made it into the top three.  Syesha picked up her game a bit too late to overcome the lead the Davids had on her.  I still like her, but it was the right decision.
Our last update on [...]

Battle of the Davids

I wasn’t that into AI tonight.  Archuleta’s first song was probably my favorite.  Cook’s last one was a close 2nd.  I also enjoyed hearing Switchfoot’s “Welcome to the Planet.”  Syesha was good, but not good enough to beat out the two favorites.  We’ll see what happens tomorrow.
