You can find me in the theater...

... well, not an actual theater but a movie theater.

Since I've been waking up lately at 0430 almost every day for a week now, I'm wide awake now at 0620 and I've got a few minutes to spare before I go to work at 0700. They offered some overtime hours this morning and I took them.

After work I'm planning to go and see the new Harry Potter movie. All of my friends that live around here are not Harry Potter fans in the slightest. After some teeth pulling, I managed to get Kacey to "suffer" through it with me. While I'm not as big as a fan of Harry Potter as Herb and nowhere near as big as one as Brian*, I will watch the movies when they come out or listen to what my sister and dad have to say when they read the books. So I'm off today to see what's up.

If you believed me when I said that, with the exeption of Kacey, that I couldn't find anyone to see Harry Potter with me, believe me when I say that NO ONE wanted to even entertain the thought of acompanying me to see the Transformers movie. [Sighs] Where are my geek friends?



*You have got to check out his costume.

Obviously she lives in Indy. Jed and I went to a sneak preview and then to opening night just for the fun.

Dang, if you guys had only stayed put in Michiana, what fun we would've had.

Did you dress up, or rather did Jed dress up because I can totally see him doing it. :-)

No but he made me buy him a transformers T-shirt. I also wouldn't let him out of the house on Friday night because he had dressed up for the Harry Potter party at Barnes and Noble. By the way, you are missing a huge chunk of information by only watching the movies. The books are much better though I will confess that the 5th book is incredibly dark and after reading it I was ticked at the world and yelled at everyone for about a week. I recommend not starting with that one. :)

I thought all the other films were pretty mediocre. The trailers for this new one looks as if it will be quite interesting. When it comes out in Japan in 2016 I'll probably go to the cinema to see it.

(small reference to the fact films are released in Japan months after Europe and the US&Canada)

Just curious, how much are movie ticket prices in Japan?

Be fruitful and multiply...by ten.

Some coworkers and I were talking about that lady in Arkansas that just delivered her 17th child. The Associated Press announced the good news a couple days ago and I remembered the family from the Discovery Channel . The Duggar family had been the subject of a number of specials dealing with large families. They are especially memorable given that the number of kids as well as their, well, peculiar lifestyle. The people that I was talking to balked at the idea of having that many kids with a few of them openly calling the Duggar parents crazy. I have to admit, I think that they are little bonkers in the head too. But you know, that’s cool on the other hand too. And it’s actually impressive that they are able to afford to have such a large family. There are some parts of me that would like to have a large family. (My definition of large stops at five kids just so you know.) But their criticisms largely used the Duggars' religious faith. From what this article indicated, they are pa

Meet Bob

 I ordered my Ford Escape PHEV on October 13, 2022 and I finally took delivery on September 1, 2023. h/t to my salesman Meet Bob. Actually, I thought I would come up with a better name since my last car was named Patty because I got her on St. Patrick's Day. But after spending about three minutes trying to think of something clever, I threw in the towel and settled on Bob. So this is a base model PHEV. It doesn't have things like a heads up display, 360 degree camera, premium audio system, etc. Mind you, I came from a base fiesta. Patty had roll-down windows and didn't even have cruise control. This is a very big upgrade for me. A little over two weeks in, I've hit 1,000 miles. I've tried to force some non-ev time. I'm not sure what kind of engine break in is needed for this. I figured I should do some of that and get its first oil change before I head down to Florida with it in November. So far, just one and one-quarter tanks of gas used. Averaging 86 mpg. Most

Am I financing? Bwah ha ha ha!

 When I purchased my house, I thought my heating system was bonkers. It used hot water from a tank and blew the air over that to be heated up. Like a boiler... kinda? I had made some inquiries to businesses in the area because if this broke, who would fix it? The best lead I got was familiar with the system but didn't service it. I knew that when the system goes, I would be replacing it with an entirely new system. Well that day came. The old system with its water tank. The new system. Notice the old water tank is gone. A couple years ago the air conditioning had gone out too but summers are pretty mild and I had gotten away with a window unit. After the car purchase and also a garage door repair needed, I had to finance this. I took a few thousand dollars to pay off the existing loan that I had out for the window replacements. I can apply the money that had been going to the windows loan to go on top of the loan I now have out for this system. That will help me get this paid off s
