Looks like the closest for me will be Chicago… May 6/7… Possible Road Trip… And yes, I’ll be able to get the advance sales, as I’m on the NIN mailing list… Believe me, I’ll do it… I’m so geeked for the new NIN stuff, I love the single that will be coming to radio soon…

What a great party - Trent’s 7th Birthday party (his actual B-day is March 3 though)

We even did one game (”Solo”) where it was every man/woman for themselves… of course, I rocked and came in first, and my buddy Randy came in 2nd but I had a big lead!!!

Did the Poke’Mon cake this year - it was one of his choices… and it was yummy too…

Trent got lots of Ninja Turtles toys and Playstation games too!

All had a great time, and we’ll have to do the Laser Tag afternoon again real soon!

Okay, I think i’m getting hooked on another diversion… PodCasting. Once I figure out how to get the podcasts to download automatically to my Nomad Zen - I’ll be listening to Adam Curry and his ‘Daily Sourcecode’ podcasts… and more… uh oh…

Well, since I have so much fun with the WPGallery plugin, I’ve decided to share pictures from my Karaoke outings… I’ve added the pics from last night’s outing, but I’ll put up more in the near future too… Maybe it’ll give ya a good idea how crazy it can sometimes be -

This bar last night is my favorite place to go, a place where I can be myself … I always (well, most always) have a great time here…

As promised, I brought back some pictures from my lunch with Trent!

He was quite happy to see me, and we had a nice lunch together! I got to meet some of his friends, and noticed that one took a certain liking to Trent too!

Have I mentioned I LOVE this WPGallery plugin!?!?! IT ROCKS!

This week has actually gone by pretty quick… gearing up for the weekend, Trent’s 7th birthday party! This year we’re doing Laser Tag - and should be a blast by all I’ll have pictures on Sunday!

Did a little Karaoke last night, but nothing too exciting… Still feeling under the weather, but not bad… just a nagging cough… it’ll be gone soon. Thankfully it doesn’t hinder me going to the gym - I went Monday and Tuesday… and I’ll be there tomorrow and Friday!

OK, I’m uploading pictures! And I think I’ll finally put the link to my gallery on the sidebar too…

Plus wanted to test out the wp-gallery plugin:

MonsterTruckJamJan2005/monster_truck_jam_les_049_Small

This is one of the many pictures from the Monster Truck Jam that Trent and I went to back in January! The pictures which have “trent” near the end are the ones he took!

It’s snowing here… Whyyyyyyyy? Just when all the snow was gone, mother nature had to dump another few inches on the Metro Detroit area… I so hope it’s gone soon… Gimme the warm weather…. NOW !!!

OK - I’m upgraded to Wordpress 1.5 - So far, I like it! Much nicer interface, and can’t wait to check out all the new features… The upgrade process was pretty painless, btw - follow the directions on their site, and noone gets hurt!

Btw, starting yesterday, for every post until the release of ‘With Teeth’ by NIN, all my titles will be from NIN songs… You’re welcome to comment with the name of the song, if ya know it…

Wordpress 1.5 was released the other day, and I think I’ll be upgrading to it some time today, just gotta find time - busy cleaning and gotta hit the gym sometime soon too… and if inspiration hits me, I might actually put some pictures up and all… Aren’t you all just soo damn fucking excited?!

LOL

Yeah, I’m sure you are.
