Hey all,

I guess I haven't written for a while but I am glad to see that the blog has not completely died because of it. We have just about heard from everyone! Yippee! Buffy, I had heard about the Liz name change, i just had never heard Brent use it. Nice costume Brent. I have to figure out what I am going to be because we have to dress up at work. I was thinking maybe a housewife, barefoot and pregnant, because i work with mostly feminists that don't have children. But I don't know if I have to energy to rally up all the costume stuff so I will probably pick something simple. I can't wait to see all of your Halloween pics so be sure to post them.

I am so excited about Mike and Brooke going to Italy!! That is awesome! I am most definitely going to come see you while you are there! I have always wanted to go there! Now I will have an excuse! Dad, I like the new pic of "The Bullet" a lot better. Now that is a corvette!

Things are going well down here. Just working with the occasional play time. Last night was pizza and Lost night. Very fun. I am going to be helping Michelle's family decorate their house for Halloween this weekend. They go all out and this year are doing a Sleeping Beauty house. Last year it was The Haunted Mansion from Disneyland. It will help me get into the Halloween spirit. :) I am going to hang out with the Montoya clan on Halloween as well. They are great.

Next Saturday we are all going up to LA to have some Halloween fun on Hollywood Blvd. We are going to dinner at this shabu-shabu? restaurant at Hollywood and Highland (the mall where Matthew works right by the Mann's Chinese Theater). Then getting ice cream at the Disney Ice Cream shop there and then going across the street to the El Capitan Theatre (owned by Disney) where they are showing "The Nightmare Before Christmas" on the big screen! It will be really fun, I am totally excited!

So other than events, I have two new addictions. Podcasts and Laguna Beach. I love Podcasts. It has gotten ridiculous. I would rather listen to them than music! For those of you that don't know what podcasts are...they are just like radio programs but they come in episodes and you can download/subscribe to them from iTunes. There is one for just about any subject that you would ever want to listen about. My favorites include:

Mugglecast (from the makers of the Harry Potter fansite mugglenet.com)
Pottercast (from the makers of the HP fansite the-leaky-cauldron.com)
This Week in Tech (TWiT: just interesting gadget and tech stuff and news)
ABC's Lost: The Transmission (annoying people from Hawaii that talk about Lost but they have interesting theories and such)
Inside Mac Radio (for you Mac lovers out there)
Discovery Channel Features (just cool DC stuff)

So I am addicted to listening to those. Funny story. I have become the ultimate nerd now! I was listening to Pottercast in my car (on my iPod) on the way home from work yesterday and at the end they asked people to come up with songs about Harry Potter and to call in and sing them for the podcast. The guy, John, asked that someone should put words to the Harry Potter theme. I thought to myself, that would actually be pretty funny if someone did that. Then I remembered that I have already done that!!! I used to always call Kimmy when I was too excited to see the new HP movies and sing my own little version of the tune. So I worked up the courage and buffered down my pride and called the podcast voicemail line!!! and i sang the song! I am so retarded, I love it! It was pretty funny. I told my friends and they all laughed at me.

Anyway, oh yeah also I'm addicted to Laguna Beach, a lame show on MTV about a bunch of spoiled highschoolers that live in Laguna Beach. Nicole watches it and she had told me about it before and I had read stuff about it on the pop culture blogs I read (Pink in the New Blog - trent.blogspot.com and VHI Best Week Ever Blog among others...) and so on Monday they had a bunch of episodes on so I tuned in. So retarded but intriguing at the same time! These kids are out of control. Too funny.

Well that was a really long post, sorry. But that is what is happening with me. Hope you are all well. Keep up the posting. Love you all!!
