many things and the not much

for starters we bought a new car. the gmc acadia, google search that awesome mess. we need it. one kid out and about, a little daughter on the way and a 85lb dog… we need the space the acadia provides… but we couldn’t accept mini-van-life-style status, and the acadia is the next best (read: better) thing. it’s got the interior of a mini-van or surburban, the exterior of a tight suv, and the gas mileage of… 20sh mpg. love it. got the dvd player factory installed, keeps the cobear pacified when necessary. other news: moved my home office to the basement (after painting and carpeting the front basement room), and have finished the paint and set up for cohen’s big boy room. he has NO idea. i mean, he’s been in there to play, but he has NO idea. and so forth. just went to visit some cool friends in va beach last weekend. got a tour of town and some beach time. thanks to the txler for the great time. radiohead is currently telling me to go ‘round and round and round’. my xbox got the RRoD a bit ago, was repaired by the MS Conglomerate, and has been returned to me. works like a charm. good times those vidjagames. cohen is repeating words more and more. it’s pretty tight. he says “stuck” whenever a toy or something is… well… stuck. go situational awareness! i ran a 10k race a few weeks back. dang nasty, i wasn’t as prepared for it as i should have been. but, i ran all 6.2 miles in 1:03:40 (that’s 1 hr, 3 mins and 40 secs). problem is that the winner of the race pretty much halved my time with a 30sh minute time. ouchie. my soccer league starts up next week. flag football in early september. woot and woot. sarcasm is the highest form of humor. right. et cetera.
