Rita Part 2

We're okay. Rita went into East Texas. Got a few sprinkles (like 5) and for the rest of the week it's supposed to be sunny.

We went to the mall. Adam's Dad's Birthday was yesterday. I surfed the net. Didn't do any Macrome. Played Star Wars Battle Front and that's about it.

Rita

Miss Rita is coming to Texas. We will most likely get her unruly children (thunder storms and maybe tornados) as she comes inland. We are expected to get that on Saturday. It's good because we do need the rain (the yard REALLY needs it) but I wish it wasn't coming.

We weren't planning anything big on Saturday anyways. I was going to the mall but I don't think I will go. Instead I'll probably work on my macrame in the living room while watching "Lost" episodes or Star Wars movies. Adam will work on his homework for school. Satine will watch the thunder and lightning from the sunroom on the blue chair happy as a clam and Connor will try and find a cabinet to hide in so the rain won't get him (he's my "bad weather vane")

Going to the store tomorrow (because we really need to) and will charge up the phones.

Ah...Texas weather!

LOST SEASON 2!!!!

WARING!! Lost season 2 starts Wednesday September 21 at 8PM CENTRAL TIME! We WILL NOT be answering the phones during this show! If you need to get a hold of us leave us a voice mail and we will call after the episode (and us saying "Huh?!?" because JJ put another twist in the story.) Also remember that we have DishNetwork with DVR and we have gone back to see what has happened (or said) before the twist in the story that JJ likes to put in that makes us say "Darn you JJ!!"

A New Band

Was surfing the web and found this new video. MTV2 has this show called "VideoMods" where they take video games and make the characters sing music from bands. They did one with the game "Revenge of the Sith" Singing a song from the group Franz Ferdinand singing their song "Take Me Out". Out of the group of 'videos' that they had it was one of the best.

Ladies and Gentalmen Introducing the band "CHOSEN ONE"

With

Mace Windo on Bass


Obi Wan Kenobi on Guitar


Yoda on Drums



and Anakin (the chosen one) Skywalker on vocals

an exciting new group with dancing Padmes and Stormtroopers rocking on.

Adam will fix this so the link will go straight to it (that's why I keep him around). I'm too lazy to figure it out. He's doing school work and I won't want to distract him.

Garrison Keillor's A Praire Home Companion

Stumbled across a post, from a blog called Memory Loss, that talked about Garrison Keillor and his radio show A Prairie Home Companion. The show is replayed on Sunday mornings here and I get out of church just in time to hear the "Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, my home town" part. I've had a fondness for this show for a long time, and I think it's because my folks used to listen to one of Keillor's books on tape during some of our longer road trips.

Sims2 Nightlife

I've been waiting for this for about 2 months now. I pre-ordered it on EB Games over at Grapevine Mills planning on having dinner at Corner Bakery (where we had our first meeting after 4 years) so we go to EB Games and I found out that they do not have it. "We won't have it until tomorrow"

Target "No we'll have it soon"

Best Buy not even a spot for it.

EB Games in Southlake "It will be in tomorrow before 10 AM."


UUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!


So now we have to go back tomorrow to get the freaking game.


Why have a the date that says it will be released up and NOT have the game???!!!?!?!?

Stuff + Cats = Awesome

A friend from work heard about this on the radio. I just laughed and laughed. I bet we've got a picture or two that could be posted here.

From Digg:
Do you like to put stuff on your cat? See pictures of clothes, creatures, food, gadgets, housewares, nature, naughty stuff, and toys on random kittens!

Hurricane Katrina

Here I am posting again asking for help. It seems that is all I do right now on this blog asking the few people who read this blog to do positive vibes, prayers, or donate money for people.

We are getting a lot of people from hurricane Katrina. Some are staying in shelters, Reunion Arena or in homes of friends and relatives. If you live in the D/FW area KLUV is doing a "Labor of Love" for them tomorrow. Lastnight when I was at the Grapevine Wal-Mart and Grace was there taking food and clothing items and there is always the Red Cross

Cheap Domains @ Yahoo!

Yahoo! has a special on domain names going on right now. Just $2 a year, so you could lock in a domain name for 5 years for just $10. I just picked one up for my Dad (eakinsart.com).

There's free domain forwarding if you don't have a web host. It's a great way to make a memorable shortcut to your blog. For only $2 I think everyone should grab one.
