Happy Birthday to Me....(cough, wheeze, hack)

Well, I am now the indistinct age of 32. Yesterday, for my birthday, I got to work for eight hours, and be miserably sick all day. As a matter of fact, I have been sick for the last six days, and this illness shows no sign of going away as of yet. I managed to catch it from my wife just as she was getting better, after she had it for some two weeks. And my child has a minor form of it as well, I think, though thankfully not like me. Sore throat, coughing, and congestion rack my aging body. I couldn't have any party, as to not infect my friends. My wife's brother did come by yesterday, though, which was nice. He seems to think he is immune from such petty things as viruses, so I had one visitor for my birthday. We went out to Chang's Mongolian Grill, which I had never experienced. It was pretty unique, and very tasty. Mongolian (or Mexican, I believe is more accurate) cooks manned a huge round grill, where they take a pile of raw items that the consumer chooses and fry it up right in front of everyone.

My wife had her first ultrasound on Friday. The child is doing well, although it was moving around so fast that the doctor had difficulty getting a picture. Apparently, we will be having a tazmanian devil baby. That must be Sandi's genes. :-)

This has been a rather disjointed entry. Forgive me....I feel like dooky.

You MUST SEE Serenity!!!!

I went to the new movie Serenity yesterday. For those of you who don't know what the heck Serentity is or what it is about, basically I can sum it up in one sentence: It is an unbelievably awesome Sci-fi Western combo with expertly written characters, dialog, and plot. It is the continuation of a show that was on Fox back in 2002, called Firefly. This was also a truly awesome thing to watch. Unfortunately, the idiots at Fox stuck the show on Friday nights at 8pm, and then proceeded to screw with the airing time from week to week, never giving it a chance. So it was cancelled, ultimately because not enough people knew about the show. The small following that the program gained, however, (including me) was extremely loyal and extremely pissed off that they cancelled the program. There was massive fervor whipped up, until someone capitulated and created a DVD set of all 14 shows. Then people showed other people, and the fan base for Firefly grew. That is when Universal Studios agreed to get behind a movie. Thus, Serenity was born, and it is now out in theaters. GO SEE IT! It is truly one of the best films I have ever seen in my life. You will love it. I promise.
