Today I ordered a pair of running shoes from Amazon. I got a confirmation email from them that included information such as my total, estimated arrival date, and the shipping address. Also, under shipping details, it said:
Order will arrive in 1 shipment
Blast. I was really hoping to get the left shoe on Thursday and the right one in mid-March.

Charlie St. Nah-No-Thanks
Yesterday I went downstairs to check the mail. Waiting for us in our mailbox was a new Netflix arrival. While still standing there, I opened it up to see what had arrived (most movies on my queue were added so long ago, I've forgotten what's on there and what's next, so each movie is a little surprise).
I opened the sleeve and out came Charlie St. Cloud starring Zac Efron. Without giving it a second thought, I returned the movie to the envelope, sealed it, and dropped it in the outgoing mail slot.
Crisis averted.

A Series of Open Letters to The Yellow Pages
Dear Yellow Pages,
The party is over. Admit it. No one wants you anymore. You're free and people still opt out. Don't be that guy who refuses to admit everyone else has moved on to the cooler party down the street. It's starting to get sad. Believe me.
Sincerely,
Tom from MySpace

Dear Yellow Pages,
And we thought we had a majorly overblown sense of importance.

Dear Yellow Pages,
Sorry.

Dear Yellow Pages,
Stop it. You're killing us.
Seriously.
Sincerely,
The Trees

Pictures of People Watchin' Movies
A couple of weeks ago, Sarah and I had some visitors from Indiana. Every Christmas Sarah's sister Stacy and her family (her husband Nathan and their three kids Dylan, Kayla, and Aubry) come out to Pennsylvania from the Hoosier state to spend some time with us. And by "spend time with us" I mean lounge around the house all day with us and play games.
This year was special because my brother Ray and his family (his wife, Piper, and their daughter Valencia) came out as well. We played a lot of games and then played some more and had a blast.
One of the highlights of our time together, though, was filming the final chapter in our goofy little homemade video series about a warped super hero, Terocus. We filmed the first episode back in 1992 with an oversized camcorder (you know, the kind where the video tape was an actual video tape) when we were a lot younger. I'm 40 now and my brother isn't too far behind and I'm proud to say we haven't matured a bit.
We filmed for a few hours over two days and I spent the following week after everyone had gone back home editing away. Sure, it's silly and inane and to be honest, probably only funny to those of us who were there, but I enjoyed putting all the pieces together.
I finished the final edit a few days ago and uploaded it to YouTube, only to have it rejected because of copyright violations which basically translates to: we used music by the Red Hot Chili Peppers over the end credits and didn't get permission from the president of BMG Music. I'm still not sure how some people get away with uploading entire videos and songs and we got screened for using a 40-second clip, but oh well. More than likely I'll just swap out the music at the end and re-post it soon.
But in the meantime, we wanted Sarah's family to see it. We sent them the file and then held a Skype session so Sarah and I could watch them watch it. It wasn't the most ideal of circumstances but at the same time it was really cool to be able to share the moment with them. I took some photos of our Skype session and it was a true technological Kodak moment.
So yea, I'll have the video up soon. In the meantime, swing by Terocus's fan page and enjoy the photos of our big premiere.
Hammer time.

"Eclipse" Eclipse Cross-Promotion
This has got to be the worst most-obvious cross-promotion ever. I've never not enjoyed my gum so much in my life.

Sorry, PT Cruiser-Owners
As if we needed more proof that people who drive PT Cruisers are douches...

"Killer" Game
This photo was taken in the middle of a game of Killer Bunnies
with Sarah. I don't know what's scarier: the fact that I can actually understand what this jumbled mess means, or the fact that this jumbled mess is only being played by two people.
Either way...good times.
