My buddy loves him some Joe Jonas…

Saturday, February 25th, 2012

I love it when my iPhone Facebook app messes up and puts one friend’s profile picture with the wrong person.

Today is a day of fridges… more on that later.

Movie Reviews…

Asylum – this was good. The title and plot setting (50s criminally insane asylum) might make you think this would be a gross-out horror flick, but it’s not. There is violence, but this is a tale of a repressed woman’s passions, unfortunately for a patient that severely murdered his wife some years ago. Abbe heard of this film from an old episode of NPR’s All Things Considered from 2005, thanks to the NPR Addict app on her iPhone.

bunk bed and hockey

Sunday, February 19th, 2012

I got a lot accomplished yesterday. A bunch of coding and also assembled Bubs’ new bunk bed (oh, and the ladder isn’t in the picture, but there is one… or perhaps I’ll just leave a trampoline for him to vault himself into bed each night.)

And on top of the new bedroom, Bubs also gets to spend the day with the Flyers at the Flyers Wives Carnival today. We had a blast last year and this year we were wise and didn’t go hog wild with the pre-purchased tickets. I’m really looking forward to Alumni Row and Bubs is looking forward getting pictures with Zac Rinaldo and Tom Sestito.

almost to the ice

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012

Yesterday was a really good day. I had a great client meeting that was worrying me a bit, lots of work completed, and I even fixed Abbe’s  bedside table lamp’s switch.

I’ve got a few more busy days to go to close out the week and then it’s another ice hockey weekend with Bubs (7:30am game in Sewell, NJ and then the Flyers Wives Carnival on Sunday).

Movie Reviews…

The Whistleblower – the true story behind this film is amazing, Kathryn Bolkovac (played by Rachel Weisz) is a cop working in the Balkans as a security contractor and uncovers a human trafficking ring and the failure of local police to investigate domestic violence cases involving Muslim women. The movie is decent, but the story behind this movie is better.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

One ice hockey game done today, and one more to go. Bubs’ team is playing in the AAHA tourney this weekend in Voorhees. They won handily last night, 8-0 (Bubs got an assist) and this morning, they lost in an OT shootout 3-2. We have to get up early again tomorrow for another 7:30am game. And yes, every time we have these early games, this commercial plays in my head…

Oh and I just discovered this… yes, that’s my patio umbrella that apparently decided to fly up into a tree while we were away at Disney! Thankfully, no damage was done to the house or the umbrella.

13 – this was pretty good for a bad movie.

table, pie, and 9/19

Monday, September 19th, 2011

We headed down to Millville, NJ to pick up our new (to us) kitchen table. It needs some staining, but it fits nicely in the kitchen and it will be nice to eat meals at a real table for once…

On the way home, Abbe and I stopped at Penza’s Pie’s and picked up this bad boy… if you’ve never had their pies, you seriously have lived an unfulfilled life…

Today my Dad would have been 67. Happy birthday Dad, miss you and love you everyday.
