Orchestrated Chaos

Pushing my own buttons.

Rambling down the road.....

Well, I realize that it has been a little bit since I have posted something.....substantial. But I have four words for you: Holly, Ryan, Married, Stay-at-home Dad (ok, not four words, but that would be four words according to Gareth Keenan).

1) Simple question: Where would the world be without beer?

2) After seeing Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith, a couple weeks ago, I think that I have come to a rather self-deprecating conclusion that I think that I have a pretty significant bias against Natalie Portman. Seriously, her performances in this most recent movie were as wooden and emotionless as ALL the other movies she was ever in. And frankly, I was relieved when she finally died. I was worried that she would talk again in a flashback or something, but thankfully I was spared that trauma.

3) Yesterday, Holly and Ryan and I had a rough day. I was thankful when they got in to bed at 7:30, it meant that I could try and get some semblance of mental healing. They get frustrated when the options that we have during the day are really limited. I feel guilty because some days, I am in no shape to go above and beyond, and try to impact their little psyches. But today, they were the cutest little brother and sister in the world. Holly played with Ryan at his gate, before naptime was over. We had a picnic lunch outside, and they were absolutely breathtaking in their conversation and behavior. It was hilarious when Ryan saw an ant (his mortal enemy) and he chucked his spoon, and ran to my lap (the spoon actually landed in his bowl of cottage cheese, I was impressed).

4) I am pretty sad that Scrubs Season 5 won't be back until mid-season. I'm assuming that since shows start around late August, mid-September, that means it won't be back until October. And they even sure about what time slot that it will be in. I guess they will wait to see what will be cancelled mid-season, and use Scrubs to plug that hole. Sad to have to wait that long for one of TV's best shows.

5) I have to pee.

6) On the way back from the grocery store today, Holly and I were listening to some music on the radio, some rather soothing music. She says to me with the seriousness of an adult: "This music is making me sleepy." Then 60 seconds later, she yawns! I melted, for the thousandth time for both of them. And I also think that I might try to listen to that music more often!

Well, I am trying to get to bed earlier, so that's going to be it for tonight. Leave some comments for me!

    'bout time you got off your butt and wrote more than a couple lines. you always were the lazy one.

    1) in the same place, but a lot less fun

    2) i took the precaution of not seeing episodes 1-3, so natalie portman's lack of acting ability affects me not at all

    3) what's with the ants? please elaborate.

    4) never saw scrubs, maybe someday i'll catch it.

    5) gatorade bottle.

    6) sounds good. you're lucky you have those cool guys, and i'm glad they have good taste in music.

    1 - there wouldn't be a world without beer. Or at least I would't be here, I would be out looking for it.

    2 - I LOVE NATILE PORTMAN

    3 - Ants? I don't think I have ever met someone afraid of ants. You can kill them with you pinky.

    4 - I am more worried about Gilmore Girls, sorry. Kyle can probably simpathize better with you there. Although, when I do see it, it is a good show.

    I am glad you are having fun with the kids!
