UltraViolet

Ok, so I heard about this movie a while back called UltraViolet, that is based on a comic book like all movies now, and that it is staring Milla Jovovich. I saw the trailer on TV the other day and all I can say is "Damn!" Looks like a cross between The Matrix, Blade, and Equilibrium. Looks pretty good, and Milla rocks, so there is a good chance that it won't suck. Comic book movies seem to be getting better and better, as of late. Let's hope.
Here is the trailer.

Puking Kids

So today I started vacation, and we decided we were going to take Peyton to the Zoo for the first time. We got cleaned up, ate breakfast, and headed out. Then about half way to Portland, I look back at Peyton, and she spews all over herself. It's so funny because it barely phases her. She puked again on the way back home and then 2 or 3 times this afternoon. But each time she would tell us and we would go to the toilet and she was totally fine within seconds of finishing spraying the toilet with her oatmeal. It reminded me of when Bella threw up down the front of herself and on to my carpet. To kids it's no big deal, just a little vomit! Kids rock! We stayed in bed this afternoon and she has been puke free for a few hours now, so I think the worst is over.

This movie was added to my recommendations page on Netflix several months ago, so I rented it and it has been sitting on my desk for months now, cause I really had never heard of it or even knew what it was about. So last night, Rachelle and I decided to watch a movie and I put it in. She asked what it was, and when I told her "Crash", she said that it had been nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards, and was supposed to be pretty good.

She was right...This movie is fantastic. Not for the special effects, or the cool actors, or any of that crap, but the story and how the many characters all connect in the end was really impressive. There are a lot of big name actors in it, many with bit parts, and apparently it was independent film and the actors took cuts in salaries just to be in it. The movie is about the stereotypes that we all have in our head and our culture in the USA. It's very entertaining, and emotional. Check it out.

Songbird

Here is a cool music player based on the Firefox code. It is still beta and not fully functional, but I like what I see so far. Check out Songbird.

Return of the King?

They found a new tomb in the Valley of the Kings after not finding anything new for the last 64 years. It blows me away that it was only 5 feet away from King Tut's tomb.

Not A Life Saver

Apparently I made the paper yesterday for helping a lady at work.
Let me just say, I am not a life saver!

Birthday Boy

Happy 29th Birthday Freakshow!
It's weird but true...Nathan made it to 29. I mean really, who would have thought? Well as most of the rest of us have already found out, it is definately downhill from here.

Did you think when this picture was taken 10 years ago, that you would be someones Father? I know I didn't. Happy birthday Nathan!
