More To Love

We watched the new Fox reality show More To Love last night. It's a good show with a lot of potential. There were also a bunch of unintentional laughs. I had a lot of fun making fat jokes, but it's ok because I'm a big dude. It's kind of like being able to say the n-word only when you're black.

It was kind of funny, because a lot of the conversation between the ladies and the guy revolved around food. Not to mention every commercial that came on was for some type of food. I guess Fox knows their target audience.

At one point, Rhea made the proclamation that they should have a reality show like this for amputees. I personally think this is an amazing idea. We would call it Out On A Limb. My only question would be whether you would have a chick looking for a man or vice versa. I don't know the stats on men vs. women amputees. The only thing I do know is, all the contestants would have to put their prostheses on a table at some point. Then, the one to go home is the one that gets their arm/leg back at the end of the night.

Brilliant!

Movie Review Time

We hit the Red Box this weekend for a couple movies. Since we don't have the Netflix anymore, Red Box has become our movie rental device of choice. It's really cool, except the selection can be a little sparse. It never gets old threatening the wife with renting 12 Rounds, either.

We watched Confessions of a Shopaholic and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Confessions was pretty good. A little predictable as all those movies are. It kills me that Isla Fisher is married to Borat. Is there no justice in the world?!

The Day the Earth Stood Still was ok. I expected a little more in the action department and the special effects department. I think they spent all their money on Keanu. It also ended up feeling like an environmental message wrapped in an alien movie. Like, you guys better start recycling or aliens are going to come and re-boot the earth.

MechWarrior 5

I will buy it. I will play it. I will love it!

MacGruber

So, they're making a MacGruber movie based on the SNL character. I don't think this is a terrible idea. I'm sure it will be pretty predictable. They will have to flesh out the character, so they will probably put him into the real world. Either make the whole MacGruber thing we've seen in the skits his job, which is to say he's the star of a tv show. Then he will have to actually become MacGruber at some point to save the day. Or, he'll be a loser who lives with his parents and does the whole MacGruber thing because he's a loser, ala Hot Rod. Then he will end up saving the day in the end. Shocker!

Anyway, I'm sure I'll watch it at some point. I do love those Pepsuber commercials.

Photogenic!

We went to Target on Saturday morning for some family photos. I think they turned out really well. We had a coupon that saved us some money.

What kills me is, they originally tried to charge us like $130 for the stuff we picked out. Mainly because of the few things we ordered that were outside the package deal. Once we removed the announcements (that were almost $50!), the price went down and we checked out.

I'm amazed that they can charge so much for one sheet. We cruise in with a coupon for $3.99 a sheet, and their normal prices are upwards of $15 to $30! What kind of profit margin is that? We all know that photo printing and paper is not that expensive. There's not a guy in a dark room developing our pictures somewhere. It's all digital. I mean, the fact that they can even offer a coupon with such a discount means that the prices are totally inflated.

Anyway, Rhys slept the whole time. Then we stroller'd around Target for a bit. Saturday night we went to Alana's for some 4th of July festivities. The food was delicious. Then we went home and crashed.

So Sleepy

There was once a time when we knew what sleep was. Now, it's a distant memory.

Of course, I'm just kidding.

Sleep has been at a bit of a premium this last week since Rhys came home. I've probably had more than Rhea, but only because I'm not the one with the milk filled boobs.

Anyway, look at that kiddo! He's so damn cute!

Our Boy Is Here!

Yesterday was so completely awesome, I can't even begin to describe the feeling. Our new baby boy, Rhys Edward, was born at 8:07 am! He came in at 7lbs 3oz. I think they said 19 inches long, but I'm not positive. Everything is a blur. Luckily I have the birth on video. And when I say luckily, I mean eeeewww!

He was delivered via c-section. It was all scheduled and planned out by the doctor. Rhea can't give birth naturally due to how they did the c-section when Ethan was born. We both kind of like that it's all scheduled. Takes a lot of the guess work out. Although knowing it was at a certain date and time made the wait feel like an eternity.

They did decide to put him into the NICU for a while yesterday before we could have him because he had transient tachypnea, which means his lungs were still wet from the delivery. Basically, when a baby gets pushed out in a normal birth, it gets squished through the birth canal and that fluid gets squeezed out. That doesn't happen in c-sections. Fortunately, there are no long term effects, hence the transient part. It's just something they have to watch for a bit.

It was kinda rough going back into the NICU again. It smelled exactly the same and he was actually in the same room that Ethan was in. The nurses in there are really great. Rhys was finally delivered to mommy around 9 last night. I can't wait to hold him!

You want to see more pictures, check out the my flickr. And if you're following me on Twitter, get used to seeing a lot of baby pictures.

Rhys' Room

The baby's room is pretty much done and ready. We just need to do a little cleaning and it's good to go. I hung up his letters and some pictures last night. I think he's going to like it. If he doesn't, then that's a paddlin'.

Terminator Salvation Review

We caught Terminator Salvation last night. I had a free ticket for buying T3 the other day, so we squeezed it in right before the coupon expired. Frugality rules!

I thought the movie was awesome. I had read a lot of comments and reviews, but I didn't really notice the same issues other people did. I thought the story was great. It fit just fine into the continuity of the movies. It even had a few surprises that really...well...surprised me.

The only complaint I could even level at the game is regarding Bale's performance. That damn Batman growl he uses really gets annoying. Especially when he's delivering normal dialogue. He almost gets a lisp from it. Like he bit his tongue and is pissed off about it.

Meat Over Here!

My in-laws bought me a grill for my birthday. I fired it up last night and cooked thick steaks on it. Ahh, animal flesh, you're so delicious!

We also played a bunch of Left 4 Dead on Sunday and Monday. It's been really fun. We have now started pointing out everything as if we're living in the game.
