I've started a few posts and then hated them... and a good amount of time on the computer at home has been spent on my WoW habit, but I figured I was letting December slip away from me and being stuck on post #100 was getting old, so here I am, loyal readers.
How cool is it that Las Vegas got snow!?!?!?! My only true memory of snow sticking around in a fun way happened when I was in 5th grade, with most of the time it melting right away. Happy times! (Stacie suck it up and build a snowman.)
I'm at a loss to say to be honest with you, I'm currently leaking brain out my nose, so that might be the reason. We took Noah to see Santa on Wednesday and he was quite the fussy guy while we waited it out in line. However, when the time came to see the big guy, he did great.
School is taking a vacation for a moment, and I'm able to reflect a bit on my new path... like I've said before, it's wonderful.
Steven, liking movie soundtracks with the obsession that you do is a quirk.
I am on Facebook, btw. I'm terrible at it, but I'm on it.
I'm rather proud of the fantastic-ness of my wife. A renaissance woman is what I married.
I depise end of the year best/worst lists. Is it just me or are they all the same. Where's the bold person who likes what Kim Kardashian wears (other than herself, obviously.) I guess this goes with my dislike of all things pop (I hope Joe Satriani wins his lawsuit against Coldplay, sorry everyone.) It also may reflect the increasing out-of-it-ness that is my grip on pop culture. That being said, here's the best of everything list for me this year.
Movie: Ironman
CD: Death Magnetic, Metallica
Book: Ender in Exile, OSC (I haven't even read it, but that doesn't change anything)
TV Show: The Office
There ya go, I am a hypocrit. And to further the fact, here are things that I didn't like this year.
Movie: Dark Knight
CD: Viva la Vida, Coldplay
Book: something self-helpy and preachy
TV Show: everything on CBS
I'll admit, several things on my crap list made it purely to piss people off (namely in-laws) and if my native american culture class taught me anything, it's that in-laws were meant to be teased and taunted relentlessly.
What else can I rant about. Oh, for a bit of political commentary, so much for transparency and a new direction for our dear Pres-elect. Do you really want us to hold you to higher standard? Cause it sure doesn't seem like you're up to it. You know it's bad when a fan-girl on CNN calls you out.
Oh, yay for RSL! That's Real Salt Lake in case anyone didn't know (which was VERY likely.) From going from gutter club to MLS Cup runner-up, I guess that new stadium had some magic in it.
That looks like about it for now. I'll try and squeak in another post before the New Year.

but always fun to read.
but random.
A) you learned that inlaws should be teased relentlessly in your native american culture class? What's that about?
B) Your wife IS fantastic. I'm glad you appreciate that. :)
C)RSL improved because, while practicing on the field next to XANGO, they started sneaking in to seal juice. And now they're invincible!
So, should I be worried or pleased that your worst list didn't annoy me? Or are we more alike than suspected (spooky...)? And who *would* put "something self-helpy and preachy" on anything but a "crap list"?
Either way - see you soon, in-law ;-)
STACIE DOESN'T DO SNOW!!!
(but it was a fun visitor)
Merry Christmas, Joe, Emily and Noah!!!
love you guys...
Joe! I can't believe you didn't like Viva La Vida. You're sounding as bad as my students. They hate anything that's popular. It's not my favorite album I've heard this year, but it was well produced and very Coldplay. I'll admit, Coldplay isn't my favorite band either...I mean, just because they can put together a U2-esque sound (i.e. pop-revolutionary vocals, lead guitar that is really just good rhythm guitar, over-the-top song production on universally-accessible themes, etc.), doesn't mean that they are as good as U2, it just means they are trying.
Coincidentally, Joe Satriani doesn't stand a chance. The songs are similar, but both use such traditional harmonic progressions and basic melodies that Satriani would have to sue half of the music industry just to be consistent. :)
Go RSL!
