(2) Tue Feb 14 2006 09:07 When you get a second: I love when Lily sleeps in. So I thought I'd update my blog with the extra time since I can't be on the computer when Lily is awake because then she wants to be in the room I am in and the office is on it's way to being more organized to my craft/scrapbooking room and she always comes in and throws pictures around and crumples expensive scrapbook paper and what-not. So when she is asleep I get to get on the internet which is Aaron's version of my version of Xbox for him.

I love, love, love, love getting on the internet and feeling a little connected to people, news, family, stuff! I thought I would lay off it a little once I quit work since I wouldn't be in front of a computer all day with stuff to come up with to do on the internet to keep from getting more bored, but I still do that. Granted not as much because I hang with Lily mostly, but every second I get...

In my defense Aaron and I gave up TV (not movies) so I have to have some sort of medium past time for myself. Speaking of movies, I have watched a few good ones which are becoming rarer and rarer. Maybe because few good movies really come out or maybe because with our Netflix subscription we have seen just about all the good movies out there. I was going through the list of top 100 rentals and Aaron and I had seen most of them. If not from there, then from Clean Flicks. Speaking of Clean Flicks, we have a free month trial there so we have seen some good edited ones. Crash was very innovative, "riveting", cleaver, and thought provoking. I liked it. I also watched The Chorus which is a French film with subtitles, but do not let that disinterest you. It was an excellent show. Not some Hollywood pile of garbage served in pretty packaging.

Didn't like Corpse Bride that much, it was ok. I surprising liked Elizabethtown a lot. Kirsten Dunst was very good in it, making me like her when I usually don't. The Island was ok, and I have watched a lot of IMAX/discovery channel documentaries because who doesn't like a documentary? Ok, Aaron's not so fond of them, but I like them.

It is kinda funny that I went off on that tangent because I was going to post about V-day celebration last night. It was early because Aaron has a few tests this week he has to study for, but we tried a new Mexican restaurant Chuy's, and loved the salsas. Everything else was fine. Then we went to the video store and rented 24 Season 1. We watched a couple episodes and went to bed. Exciting I know.

Lily is now awake, and probably hungry because she is saying to her self, "mmm, yum-yum". I'm off...

I agree with the internet thing. One of my favorites is iTunes Podcasts. You can get ABC news video, and Science Friday is a great podcast. You should try it out. They also have Shawn Hannity Podcasts--the complete program so you don't have to listen through those commercials, and you can fast forward if the program is boring.

Pretty soon you will be able to get anything from the internet. iTunes is selling the complete first season of the A-Team for $34.99--Classic. That is a gift you get somebody who thinks they have everything already--like me.

I just imagine flying on a plane watching The A-Team on my little video MP3 player. Plus there are so many good books and websites.

Amen to the TV thing. Louise and I don't have TV and we have compensated by listening to music or books on tape or podcasts while we streach and do sit-ups.

I have amassed almost 80 GB's worth of audio--mostly classical music and books. I am sure dad would love to have some of that.
