Some Random Thoughts

Today is Amy's birthday. I am so blessed to have her in my life - she is the greatest wife I could possibly have, and she is such a wonderful mother to our little girls. Happy birthday Amy! Thanks for blessing the Colorado Bruners!

I read a news blurb the other day about the church of Scientology being sued, here is the link: http://news.smh.com.au/world/church-of-scientology-to-be-tried-in-france-for-fraud-legal-source-20080908-4c6p.html
This got me to thinking...do you wish you knew more about some of the wacky american religions? Here is a 2 part primer on american religions:
church of Scientology: http://www.southparkstudios.com/guide/912/
mormons: http://www.southparkstudios.com/guide/712/
click the watch full episode link. Some of you may not be south park fans - but really, these 22 minute episodes are quite explanitory (and funny) about these belief systems.

I have directv, I've had directv for a long time and one thing that has always irritated me a little bit is the 2 second lag behind cable or over the air tv. Normally I don't notice this, so life goes on - but last night I was trying to watch the Broncos vs. Raiders MNF game and the next door neighbor was screaming at every play - only he was screaming about 1.5 seconds before I got to see the play, so I always knew if it was going to be good or bad for the Broncos. This kind of takes the fun out of live sporting events - even worse than watching a movie with someone who has to pre-quote every line.

TV shows on tap for this week:
I recorded True Blood an HBO cajun vampire series, but I haven't watched it yet. I'll view it at some point and give it a minimalist review.
I recorded the season premier of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - but again haven't watched it yet (I watched football). But I really enjoyed last year's first season of the show. One comical note - the people doing this series are the ones who did Terminator 3 (an underated movie that is entertaining, though not "good") and in this series, they just pretend that the 3rd movie never happened.
Amy and I watched the Closer - I like this show pretty well.
Tonight I'm recording Fringe a new show on Fox that looks like it could be a successor to the X-Files.
If you haven't seen the USA show Psych - watch it, it might be one of the funniest shows on TV (the Office also taking the comedy cake).
I haven't been to a movie theater in 9 months. kids.
