This past week Kyllan and I went to Twisted Root for date night. Twisted root is a popular spot in Deep Ellum and is supposed to be one of the best burgers in town. We were both very impressed. Who knows, we may have to make a trip to Five Guys for comparison.

Finally! It’s only pre-season, but football is back! It’s going to be horrible being in Dallas and dealing with these arrogant Cowboy fans and all of their Superbowl hype.  It’s even worse that I have to live with one. One of these days I will get Kyllan to see the error of her ways and convince her to cheer for the Jaguars.

Kyllan and I have recently started a date night and have been alternating who makes the plans for the evening. Last week, Kyllan’s week, we attended Jazz in the Atrium at the Dallas Art Museum and had dinner at the Screen Door. Oddly enough, we were asked if we were newlyweds by a couple at the Jazz event and the waitress at the restaurant asked me if we were on a first date while Kyllan was in the restroom. It’s good to know that while we are quickly approaching our 3rd anniversary, we still act like a young couple very excited to be spending time together. I guess that’s the point of a date night.

Kyllan’s company hosted an event at Cowboys Stadium this past weekend. While we were there we managed to get a tour of the facility, unlike last time. The stadium is absolutely amazing. The inside felt like an exclusive private club, while the open stadium itself seemed to never end. I will be back at the stadium at the end of this week for the Pacquiao v. Clotty boxing match. I am a huge fight fan and have been looking forward to the even since it was announced. As always, photos can be found on my Flickr page.

Kyllan has been much more interested in the Winter Olympics than I anticipated. She has had the TV on every night since the games started. We just finished watching ladies’ figure skating.  The announcers clearly felt that this year was the most amazing competition in the history sport. So far I think our favorite event has to be snowboard cross. With hockey now on our radar I plan on catching the remaining team USA games. I missed the first one simply because I didn’t realize that it was on MSNBC. Instead, I played on the internet while Kyllan watched ice dancing, which I am still not convinced is a sport. Sadly we’ve missed all of the curling.

We still plan to go to the 2012 summer games in London. See you there!

Kyllan and I plan to see James Cameron’s Avatar today.  Industry watchers are predicting the film will be bigger than Cameron’s Titanic.  It’s supposed to represent a watershed moment in digital film making and 3D. Roger Ebert said, “Watching Avatar, I felt sort of the same as when I saw “Star Wars” in 1977.” The hype machine is out of control and I’m trying to keep my expectations down.  We will let everyone know what we think. If, like Kyllan, you some how managed to miss the trailer the billions of times it has been shown on TV, it can be found here.If you see it too, let us know what you think.
