I'll blog this and call it my lunch break from working at home. If you ever get your tonsils out, be sure to stock up on Haagen Dazs sorbet. I like raspberry best. It's really good. But when you run out, life sucks.

I went to a party and Robert Kiyosaki was there. Wow! I thought. I'll go meet him. So I said, "Hi, I'm David!" Robert just looked at me blankly. I started to introduce myself. He just looked at me blankly. "Anyway, I hoped maybe I could get a picture with you." Robert straightened up and smiled. (He knew what he was doing.) I said, "Thanks." He looked at me blankly. I walked away.
Movies are supposed to be exciting right? Whenever I see a new movie in my mailbox, I just feel like I'm about to waste another two hours of my time. (Sometimes I just keep a movie for a long time to not have to add a new one to my queue.)
Anyone see a good movie lately?
Before you suggest anything, you should know that in college I made the mistake of studying literary archetypes, motifs and devices, thus severely hampering my ability to enjoy the simplicity of a run-of-the-mill flick designed to appeal to the masses (e.g. National Treasure -- the last piece of crap that comes to mind).
The last really good movie I saw? This one.

Think you're a hard-core feminist like me? Are you sure? If you are, you have to read The Alphabet Versus The Goddess. The book changed my life forever giving me a whole new way to look at the world.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Astronauts aboard the NASA space shuttle Discovery will be carrying an extra piece of cargo when they launch on Saturday -- a new toilet pump.
Crew members aboard the International Space Station have been fumbling with plastic bags since their zero-gravity toilet went made "a loud noise" and stopped working properly last week.
"We will be taking some spare parts up," NASA spokesman Allard Beutel said in a telephone interview on Wednesday.
The three station crew members want the toilet working properly for obvious reasons -- but on Saturday they will be sharing facilities with seven space shuttle astronauts.
"You can imagine you are having guests over and your one and only bathroom is broken. Clearly this is something you want to have working," Beutel said.
Discovery will carry a pump and other spare parts for the toilet, which is still disposing of solid waste.To whom it may concern,
Please remove conditions of residency for my wife Patricia Soledad Alegre. We are a happily married couple.
Patricia and I met Aug. 31, 2003 in a grocery store in Orem, Utah. I asked her for her phone number and she scribbled it on a piece of paper and handed it to me. Our first date was a few days later. I took her to dinner and a movie and tried to impress her with all my knowledge about her country, Argentina (my mom is Argentine too). At first she was skeptical. It took her a little awhile to fall in love with me, but eventually she did. We married in the Timpanogos Temple of Pleasant Grove, Utah on April 30, 2004.
We lived with my parents for a while before we bought our first house a few months later. We didn't stay long there because I was offered a job in Chandler, Ariz. We moved and bought another house. Patricia has played an active role in the lives of my three children.
We've done a lot of traveling together as a couple. We've visited Buenos Aires, Paris, Rome, London, New York, San Diego and Los Angeles. Frankly, I'm tired of her desire to visit these big cities so I've finally convinced her to plan our next vacations in a place like the Caribbean islands or a cabin in Sedona. (We did stay in Sedona once.) We have plenty of plans for the future. We would like to start a family business so she is busy going to school and learning graphic design. I'm considering possibilities of a Master's Degree. We are also planning on expanding our family in the near future.
Sincerely,
David Despain
No it wasn't a plane. No it wasn't a bird. It wasn't even a satellite. The strange lights that everyone in the Phoenix valley saw last night were about a mile wide. They went from a square shape to a v shape. They were red and white. They slowly moved east and then three jets followed them. The sighting made the news in the Arizona Republic.

Aster tried to be a skaterboy on Saturday. He biffed it a lot. It was fun to watch. Notice the new shoes? He chose them. He's not picky. They were the first ones he saw. He picked them. He loved them. They were cheap.
Hoolahoop queen can make baskets while hoolahoopin. She can also hoolahoop for hours at a time. Notice her new shoes? She tried on every shoe at the store. Skechers, Nikes, etc. She hated them all. She said they made her look like "a midget with giant feet." She wanted to go to Payless instead. I said OK, they're cheaper there. She tried on all the shoes at Payless and settled on these white ones. I thought they made her feet look even bigger than the others. But she likes them.
This is what you get when you have two kids too close together in age. One tells on the other one, the other says he/she didn't do it, and then you hear the yes you dids and no I didn'ts over and over until someone ends up getting kicked or in a headlock. Advice?
I love our little house. But it only has 3 bedrooms. It's too little. We need a bigger house. But the market's down. And we bought when it was high. So we're stuck in our little house for a while. But it's a cute house with really nice tile and carpet, vaulted ceilings, and a cute yard. The best part is that it's only 5 minutes away from work.
Summer and Ryan let us babysit Aiden and Eric today. Aster tried to be a skater. Kelsea hoolahooped and shot hoops.
Religion in schools = disaster
Let's all believe whatever we want, but let's never fall into the trap of putting religion back into schools. C'mon! How would you handle that without turning a classroom into a war zone? Stick to sound science that can be tested. Do we really want kids discussing how this God or that God or no God or those Gods or those aliens made the world? I mean it's a fun discussion, but nothing good will come out of it being in a school.
