So, once again, nothing is really happening. I finished the miniseries and first two seasons of Battlestar Galactica. The third season is coming out on DVD later this year. I am really looking forward to visiting Kyllan next week. This is probably the longest the two of us have gone without seeing each other. We don’t have any special plans for the fourth, but we have some time to figure something out. What are you guys doing for the 4th?

Anybody planning to wait in line tomorrow to blow $500 on an i Phone? I think it is going to be a huge flop. With no 3G and no compatibility with Microsoft exchange sever, business users won’t buy it and the young “hip” crowd that Apple usually markets to can’t afford it. Hell, my Samsung blackjack, which I love, sells for $75. One of those and an 80GB iPod together is cheaper than a 4GB iPhone. Don’t get me wrong, it will sell out on Friday. But, I don’t think Apple will sell many of these after the first month. (Beware of products released on Friday after the stock market closes.)

The weather is finally getting nice in Denver and I am thinking of buying a bike. I know, I know, William hates the outdoors. I have been exercising pretty regularly the past few months and need something to change up the routine. I had no idea how expensive bikes are and am a little hesitant to spend the money. We will see what happens.

Class of 2007

A long overdue congratulations to all of the graduates! William already made a post about his two Xavier classmates that graduated from Medical School. I had the opportunity to attend two graduations the past few weeks… one for my high school classmate, Desiree, who earned a Master’s in Humanities and one for my cousin, Shannon, who earned a Bachelor’s in Communication. I have pictures from Shannon’s graduation on my flickr page.

It’s been a week, so I feel the need to make a post. Nothing in particular. I recently began watching the “re-imagined” version of Battlestar Galactica. It is really good and I recommend it not just to sci-fi fans, but anyone that likes a good drama. I’ve been using Netflix to rent a lot of television series recently. Do any of you have any suggestions on what to get next? I still haven’t made it out to see any of the summer blockbusters. I thought Oceans’ 12 and the last Pirates of the Caribbean were horrible, so there is no way I would pay money to the sequels. Shrek the Third received bad reviews, so I am passing on that. I wouldn’t mind seeing Knocked Up though. The guys making it are hilarious and, surprisingly, it received really good reviews. I might also try to see Die Hard 4  this month. I am a sucker for movies with a lot of explosions. I plan to visit Kyllan July 4th weekend, so I’ll see what I can talk her into seeing with me.

Before I forget, my cousin Niki now has a flickr account. Check it out if you get a chance. In the future, you will be able to find a link in the right hand toolbar.

Girls Night

It was brought to my attention that I had not had a house party since moving in my new place, so I decided to invite over some friends for a “Girls Night”. The night was consumed with lots of good conversation, food and a serious overload of chocolate. I think all my guests enjoyed themselves and I enjoyed the company. When a handful of us found ourselves still talking at 3am, 3 people decided to stay overnight instead of making a sleep deprived drive back home.  I invited both new and old friends and everyone got along so well that I am sure there will be more “girls nights” ahead (although maybe at a more central location… I apparently live in Oklahoma compared to where the rest of my friends live!) You can check out pictures on my flickr page. Unfortunately I did not start taking pictures until later in the evening and some people had already left (I promise I will do better next time, William).
