Summertime, upstairs, paint.

Painting is a pain in the butt. I am hot, tired, and sweaty. We have not run our A/C at all this year and it has been averaging ~90 degrees fahrenheit INSIDE my house. You see - our condo is on the 3rd floor of our building - and as we all know - heat rises. I'm hot.

Luckily - the baby will be born in November, so it will not be too hot for him. Speaking of the baby - we are looking for a name for him. Perhaps I will add a new blog with this question. Yeah - I think I will.

Gotta go do that. Bye.

Oakley Reel Film Society

A.T.* - a student from the school - approached me a few weeks ago and said she wanted to establish a movie club. She had said that she had already spoken with Isaac, and he passed on my name and told her to get with me to figure out how to do it officially, as I am a movie guy. Well, she and H.S.* spoke with me and we got the ball rolling.

We discussed things about timing, what to watch, where - you know - logistics. We decided on calling ourselves the "Oakley Reel Film Society." Pretty catchy, eh? Our first screening is to be, Focus, directed by Neal Slavin, on Friday, 23 November. I decided to create an e-mail address for the Society, and it took like 20 bloody minutes for me to actually get an account set up. I tried to use Yahoo!, but for birthdate - I put 2000, which yahoo ascertained was too young for an aotumatic account, so they then required I use a credit card to PROVE I am over 18. Well - duh. Then, they used their damn cookies to block me from opening an account without a credit card, which in turn created too much work for me anyway ! ! !

So - screw Yahoo!, I went to MSN - (oh joy - love that tyranny,) and set up a hotmail account. So now the Oakley Reel Film Society can be reached at oakleyreelfilmsociety@hotmail.com. But - I gotta tell you - the hotmail set-up was nearly just as bloody painful. But at least it is done. OK - now I am off to paint the baby's room.

*Names of the kids have been changed for obvious reasons.

House bitch.

Last week, I started to paint and decorate the baby's room. It was supposed to be a surprise for Sarah. She knew I was going to do the work, but she did not know when. Yesterday, she peeked. Because I made cookies, made dinner, did the dishes, cleaned up the living room, she figured I had gone all gung-ho. So - she peeked to see if I had done anything in the baby's room. Damn - busted.

So - today I am going to finish painting, put together the crib, put together the dresser, and hopefully sand the rocking chair. We'll see how far I get. I have to go to work tomorrow, so . . .

The cookies turned out OK. I gave some to the downstairs neighbor, Bethany, since she did give me the eggs I needed to make them. Nice girl. She has a cute kid, too. Ajuleigh. (That is most definitely a guess on how to spell the little one's name.)

I got nothing left for now. Bye.

Welcome to Me.

OK - Here is the intro to my blog. I will add my first post momentarily. My name is Eddie, I am 28 years old - at least for another month or so. I am married to Sarah, who is curently expecting our first child - a boy due on 01 November 2004. Our 2nd anniversary is in two weeks. I have a mortgage, a salary, car payments and insurance. I am a grown up. Damn. Oh yeah, and I have a cat . . . named Noa.
