My parents were in this weekend. Camp was so worn out he fell asleep at 5pm. I was able to change his diaper w/o him waking up.
@damon & @cocoajunkie - congrats. Nice live-twittering too.
I think Bush’s texan accent is getting more pronounced, like a nervous tick.
the impulsive decision to stop at the adjacent ‘Buffet Palace’ after yoga was not the wisest move.
@ajanhelendam - I paid the full $79. With the supersaver I usually get free shipping, but I waste time filling up my basket to get there.
Half way through my goal of doing yoga 40 consecutive days.
Finally upgraded to Amazon Prime.
Tomorrow looks to be another bad day for Wall Street. S&P 500 futures were down 4.5% (on light holiday volume). This is bad.
Watching the 700 Club on tv at jiffy lube. Their recommendation to get out of debt is to tithe more.
Going to Jiffy Lube is like checking out at Godaddy. A $30 oil change has turned into $80 with all the options they recommended.
At the children’s museum with Camp. The cold weather has chased everyone here.
Was disappointed in ‘There Will Be Blood’. Acting is great, but an old story we’ve all seen many times. Hard Work + Luck->Riches-> …
Anyone going to the Austin NetParty tomorrow night? http://tinyurl.com/yvua74
Great hour lost watching these writer-strike era clips from Conan, Jon, and Colbert. http://tinyurl.com/yw9goh
The cross-hair locator in iphone maps covers an area of 1 mile or so. It’s not the most precise location.
“The iPhone software update server could not be contacted.” I want my maps with location!

I’m still thinking about the moral dilemma that is the end of “Gone Baby Gone”.
Watching Gone Baby Gone. Dayum. It’s really good.
I love my lunch time routine of eating lunch while watching Pardon the Interruption from the day before.

@damon - congrats on your new Blue Man Group gig.
Now trying out Flock as a browser. I like it so far. Its Firefox without some of the memory issues but with additional features.
Trying Firefox 3 Beta. Seems quicker and less of a memory hog. Firebug works but not many of my other add-ons.
Just finished season 3 of the Wire. Holy shit this is a great series. The fact it has never won an Emmy speaks volumes about award shows.
About to go see Juno at the Alamo.
With all this talk of Iowa caucuses, I realize there is a good chance I could not correctly pick out Iowa on a map.
Restarting towards my goal of doing yoga 40 days consecutively. Doing it everyday really seems to have its benefits.
