The Bang! was awesome. You can see some of the pictures.

From The Bang

The Bang! is two days away.  Come out and party!

After I found out that I dont need the Nike shoes to use it, I ordered my Nike+iPod Sports kit.  Its really neat.  Its a sensor in my shoe that records speed, distance, time, calories  and send it wirelessly to my ipod.  The ipod records it all and if I want, it will tell me  when i reach a mile/time/calorie goal etc.

So there was a double homicide by my house this weekend.  Its crazy, I pass this house everyday.  Its all taped off with yellow caution tape and there is always at least 1 cop car in the driveway.  Today while driving past, I noticed a detective and some cops walking over the lawns of the neighbors.  They looked to be searching for evidence or clues to the suspect.  You can read the story here:  New Baltimore couple found stabbed.

In other news, I sent in my app and called my old boss to let her know.  It looks like I’ll be back at Hollywood soon.  I’ve been hesitant, but I think it could work out.  I’ll be back with some seniority. I said right away my terms and Barb seemed okay with them.  I want no more than 20 hours a week, only one weekend day and I plan to be back at GDLS in May.  Plus free rentals are always a bonus.

As promised, I uploaded some pictures of Kyra’s birthday party. I decided to try the new google photo service. Its nicely integrated into picasa.

Anyways, the photos can be seen here.

Saturday was Kyra’s 1st birthday.  Meagan hosted a party for her and her daughter who also turned 1 that week.  She did an amazing job.  Lots of decorations, snacks, pizza, crafts, and much more.  They rented a Care Bear costume for the kids to have pictures with Love-a-lot Bear.  I was supposed to be the one who wore it, but the costume was for a giant.  I’ll have pictures on Flickr soon (I say that a lot without doing it).

After the kids’ party was the magarita party at Tammy and Keith’s.  The four of us and Lisa went through 2 fifths of tequilla, a jug of rum island ice tea, and a good amount of other various alcohols.  Rob coincidentally lives in the same complex, so he walked over to visit.

And lets not forget that the Tiger’s took out the Yankees that day, making it an all-around very good day.

Installed iPodLinux on my Nano, today. Played with it for 10 minutes, got bored, realized it was useless. I’m restoring it now.

Tigers won and I couldn’t be happier. They play in Detroit tomorrow with Rogers.

Looks like its movie night at Shaun’s. His mom bought him X-Men 3 So I’m going there soon.

For those who don’t understand the subject line, be amazed:

Who’s coming?

Pictures from last year.

Its been a busy couple weeks. Schoolio has definitely picked up its pace. I have projects, reading and/or homework every night.

I’ve been better at keeping a workout schedule. 5 times a week, I either ride my bike for about 10 miles, ride my bike 3 then run 2 or go down to the gym to run and do weights.

Not a whole lot of news. Consciously decided not to go to McGee’s last Friday. We decided rather to have a fire at Chrissy’s. I drank Woodchuck cider, while Chrissy and Lauren had wine. Kevin showed up and a few others. Lauren had work in the morning so it wasn’t a late night.

Sunday was Lisa’s birthday so we bought groceries and made her dinner (Italian sausage w/ peppers, pasta, caesar salad). I made — I believe — my first cake and despite me screwing up the simple 3-step directions, it still turned out. We watched Empire Records and left around 1.

Reading what I wrote, my life is pretty boring. Busy, but boring.
