Academy Award winners

It's awesome that slumdog millionaire is winning so many awards. That movie was awesome! The only other thing I disagree with is the categories that The Dark Knight / Heath Ledger won. The movie sucked and didn't deserve to win anything.

Update!

Oh I almost forgot about Rachel Getting Married. That movie actually gave me a headache it was so bad. I think they gave that chick a pity nomination because she did something ouside of her typical role. Shouldn't an actor be well versed by default? As soon as a typecast actor does anything out of their norm they are Oscar bound? SO STUPID. I think that was the case for a bunch of nominees not just her.

T minus 14 days and counting...

14 days from now I will be married! I am getting really excited about it and a little nervous. This week Judy and I met with Dr. Cuthill who is the pastor who is going to marry us. He took us to the front of the sanctuary and when I turned around to look at all of the pews I knew that on the actual day I would have the biggest smile on my face!

New Blog and Running

2/15/2009 7:17:25 PM

I am working on a new blog platform but I don't think it will be done for a while. Tomorrow I do not have work. I am taking my car in because the breaks are messed up and it is very dangerous to drive. I am also going to try and run.

Summer movies look awesome

These are some of the movies I am looking forward to seeing:

Fast and the Furious
GI Joe
Transformers 2
Harry Potter
Star Trek
Wolverine
Night At The Museum 2
Terminator
Angels and Demons (but only if I watch the Davinci Code first because I still haven't seen it)
Ice Age 3
Watchmen

Crap

I tried running again today and my knee still hurts. I'll probably go see an orthopaedist very soon to get an MRI. I won't be running or playing soccer until I know more.

Knees Oh Please

Yesterday I ran 2.5 miles. My legs were tight so I struggled with it but still managed to run 9:15 miles. After I got back though my left knee (the good one) started to hurt. There was nothing during the run that I could attribute hurting my knee to.

I don't remember the feeling I had before my other ACL tore. What if it is the same feeling and I don't even know it? I am kind of scared it might tear. I'll probably take it easy for a week and see how it feels. SCARY

RSS Fixed

Apparently my RSS feed has been broken since 7/29/08. Just realized it today when I was checking my google reader stats. It's fixed now. I've also commited to using subversion for personal development and at work and it is working quite nice.

I am a dance machine.

Finally fixed

I moved to a new server about 2 weeks ago. I went from a Windows 2003 server (IIS6) to Windows 2008 server (IIS7). There were some things that weren't working on my blog because of it and I just got around to fixing them today - including being able to write new posts.

Christmas was good. Judy and I just stayed home and relaxed. New years will be the same. Judy has been sick the past week and I feel like I am getting it now. This weekend I won my fantasy football league for the 2nd year in a row. Friday I go back to work. So far I've raised $300 for Vaness'a Big Heart Foundation. The lights are going to come down this weekend. I also may play in a 6v6 soccer tournament on Saturday. Last Saturday we sent out all of our wedding invitations and have got a few responses back.

I have no energy.

HD Christmas movies coming soon

Todd introduced me to a group of guys about 2 years ago who started their own production company called Blackburst. They decided to host their website on my server since they were having trouble with their host. The owner John, is coming out tonight to take some HD videos of the show. Judy and I will be out at dinner with some friends but I know the video will come out awesome. I'll post it as soon as I get ahold of it.
