It's late Friday night, the wife is in bed, the Tigers are on, I can't sleep; great time to write a blog, eh?
The 'ol due date is quickly approaching. My wife has had a couple of baby showers thrown for her already and the newly finished nursery is already packed to the gills with ungodly amounts of baby stuff. And she's still got two more showers to go. She's handling the pregnancy thus far like a champ. The little guy is a constant mover and shaker. He's kicking, punching, jiving and shaking constantly. No doubt his moves are from his mother. I only deal in good looks, wit and charm.
Went to another Red Wings game a few weeks back. They lost to the Islanders 2-0. But my brother-in-law, some friends of ours and I had a good time. Ended up at the Greektown casino and watched the last 10 minutes of the Kansas/Michigan State game in one of the bars.
My wife wanted to go to a Tigers game this year before the baby comes, so we're going with my parents in a couple of Saturdays to watch 'em play the Indians at Comerica. So glad baseball season is back, and that the Tigers haven't started 0-7.
Purchased me some Guitar Hero drums a while back. As a newcomer to the drums and lacking in any kind of rhythm, I do alright. Songs I am familiar with I can handle fairly well on Hard, otherwise I can pretty much nail everything on Medium. Now that I've had Rock Band 2 for a while, it's definitely superior to Guitar Hero in every way except the on-disc song list. I don't listen to a ton of music, but I know and enjoy 60 to 70% of the songs on GH, but I can only say the same for about 30 to 40% on RB. Though RB's DLC is head and shoulders above GH's.
I'm not a bad person and neither is my wife, but lately we're guilty of simultaneously busting up laughing at the Sam Bernstein ads on TV. Some background: The Bernstein Law Firm is local here in Michigan so I'm not sure if any of my non-mitten/midwest friends have ever seen his ads before. Anyway they're incredibly cheesy and generally laughable, but recently Sam's three lawyer kids have been featured in his ads and one of his sons is, ah, slightly visually impaired. No biggie, I don't hold it against him. At first in the ads he faced the camera normally as if to say, "Yeah, I know I've got a wicked cross eye, but this is how I bring in those big ol' settlements." But either the Bernstein camp has become self conscious or the ad agency stepped in. Now whenever our cross eyed friend is featured he is shown in profile with the good eye towards the camera. It's so obvious that it's even more of an attention getter than the old ads where he looked dead at the camera (and off to the side simultaneously). Anyway here's a current ad. Chuckle with me so I don't feel like too bad a guy.
Game's over and we've got a birthing class tomorrow morning at 9, so we'll so you later.
