New Leather iPhone Cases From Sena

Jan 31, 09 New Leather iPhone Cases From Sena

Posted by Michael in Other Things

Chrissy and I really love our new iPhones, but we’re now fearful of their fragility.  Don’t drop it!  Don’t scratch the glass!  We’ve read many iPhone horror stories online, so we wanted to buy protective cases.  Chrissy did a little research, and found some really nice leather cases from Sena. ...

The Tragic Demise Of Fish (Not Just Any Fish, But Our Fish)

Jan 30, 09 The Tragic Demise Of Fish (Not Just Any Fish, But Our Fish)

Posted by Michael in Other Things

Fish died.  To be specific, Aiden’s first pet (technically the second, after a miraculous color change), a fish named “Fish”, is once again dead.  We’re not sure how it happened, but the story of how it came to be is one that is long and fraught with peril.  I will continue. Fish was happy and full of life...

Tires Are A Necessary Evil

Jan 27, 09 Tires Are A Necessary Evil

Posted by Michael in Other Things

My left front tire has had a steady leak in it for a while.  I somehow got a roofing nail stuck in it.  At one point, the Honda service center had patched it for me during an oil change, but it started losing air again once it started getting cold.  I’ve been pretty good about putting air in it every day this winter (I...

Chrissy And I Got iPhones!

Jan 24, 09 Chrissy And I Got iPhones!

Posted by Michael in Other Things

Back in November, I was trying to choose an MP3 player for Chrissy’s birthday, so I suggested an iPod Touch to her.  She didn’t know what it was, so I told her that an iPod Touch was basically an iPhone without the phone bits.  She didn’t want anything with that much functionality, she just wanted something to...

I Hit The Transformers Jackpot At Target

Jan 22, 09 I Hit The Transformers Jackpot At Target

Posted by Michael in Transformers

I do a lot of Transformers shopping at Target.  There’s one right around the corner from my house, so it’s easier to get to than the nearest Wal-Mart, and they usually keep a good stock of figures.  Transformers sold very well over Christmas, but I was surprised to see that my Target wouldn’t restock afterward. ...

The Most Reluctant Haircut

Jan 20, 09 The Most Reluctant Haircut

Posted by Michael in Other Things

For the last several years, I’ve let my hair grow out over the winter.  I usually get a trim around the holidays, but I’m pretty shaggy by late February or March.  I have a low-maintenance noggin, so I give up shaving and haircuts until the weather warms up.  The extra hair keeps me toasty in the Winter! I went...

The TomTom Tries To Tell Me How To Drive To Chicago

Jan 18, 09 The TomTom Tries To Tell Me How To Drive To Chicago

Posted by Michael in Other Things

Those little GPS units that hang above the dashboard in your car can sure come in handy.  I figured that we might need one when we went to Disney World next month, so we kept an eye out for deals.  Luckily, the TomTom 125 went on sale for $98 (close-out price, down from $179), which was the lowest that I had ever seen one for. ...

We Saw The Live Musical Version Of Dirty Dancing

Jan 17, 09 We Saw The Live Musical Version Of Dirty Dancing

Posted by Michael in Special Events

Chrissy and I went to Chicago today to see Dirty Dancing at the Cadillac Palace Theater.  I had never seen the actual movie (except for bits and pieces over the years).  From what I can tell, the first Act is about a convoluted cover-up plan to enable an abortion, which eventually leads to statutory rape.  This is supposed to be...
