Happy Birthday Dad

Yes I suck. It took me this long to watch Cloverfield and I have to say I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It’s very rare for me to actually care for characters in a film, usually I’m rooting for them all to die. When I watch romantic comedies with Jenni I’m always hoping for a bus crash. TV is the same way. Little House? I always wanted them to all catch smallpox and die. What can I say? I’m a jerk.

Back to Cloverfield. As I was watching the film I started caring about the characters. The monster was fantastic. I really like how you only got the glimpse here and there of the monster and then the big payoff.

If you haven’t seen it get it. That’s my recommendation.

Jenni finally started fussing about it. Oh well the ZZ Top dream is gone.

I had a conversation the other day telling a friend about scientology. I tried to explain to the best of my abilities what a bunch on nutjobs they actually are. This video that does a better job than I can.

HAIL XENU!

As the Birthday weekend continues Jenni, Ian, Chris and I went to see Jonathan Coulton in concert last night. It was a total Nerdfest and we guys loved it. I think Jenni might have had a little fun too…maybe.

You have to love being at a show where the singer asks “Who here loves math?” and the crowd go crazy.

Here are some videos of my favorite songs from the show as the pictures I took were awful. I didn’t get “re: Your Brains” because I forgot to recharge my batteries.

Chris will have better pictures I promise you.

I really couldn’t have picked a better group to go with me. Thanks guys.

I would like to thank everyone for coming to my “surprise” party last night. To say the least I was surprised at how many people showed up. I hope everyone had fun. Thanks for making it a great birthday.

I want to thank a few people for helping Jenni pull it off:

First my wife Jenni for planning the whole thing. I love you

To Phillip for helping out all day and for taking care of the grilling.

To Christy(sp?) and Tonia. thank you so much for helping with the cooking and cleaning. Jenni said that you two were her lifesavers.

And to Melissa. You saved me yesterday and I won’t forget it. Thank you.

I fell down the stairs at work. Ian pushed me ~~was there to help pick me up~~. In the course of the investigation the design team created this reenactment. It was determined that Ian pushed me.
