To West Texas

The last few weeks have been kinda busy-ish. Along with the rest of the nation, we've been decorating for Christmas, and as such, we had to rearrange some of the furniture. I didn't fall off the house while putting up the lights. And more recently, the kids have been creating their own ornaments. They are doing this because Big T needs to take a few over to the old folks home for Tiger Cubs. They're going to be singing Christmas Carols for them on Saturday and taking some special ornaments for their tree. So since the extent of my craftiness is cutting paper snowflakes, I did some online researchery, and discovered a couple easy to make things for him. Also I did the classic candy cane reindeer. So last night Little E made a little snowman also. I'll get pics posted, but some other time.

Along with the Christmas, I've been helping my cousin with his documentary, well not really with the documentary, but the site for it. Check it out at gothedistancemovie.com. Tell your friends. It's being entered into film festivals, but I don't know how that's going yet. And it's possible that he'll be able to get legal clearance to use some music by Explosions in the Sky. And he also found out that to gain rights to use 3 minutes of music from Danny Elfman from the movie The Kingdom would cost $15,000. Yes that's fifteen thousand dollars. For three minutes. In a documentary for a non-profit.

So with that is regular life as well. Last week, I got the first disc of the DuckTales series from Netflix. I thought, along with my wife, that the kids would like it. The second episode of the first season involves Donald going to Egypt and being chased by a Mummy. This caused great concern in poor Little E. I guess at the age of 3, these things are very serious and can come get you at any time. I didn't realize how traumatic DuckTales would be for her, so we didn't finish watching it. It took a few days for her to stop saying that she didn't like the 'mommies'. She still doesn't like the 'mommies', and if they're in Disneyland the next time we go, she's not going to take a picture with them. So if you see these 'mommies' watch out. I had to relocate her nightlight in her room in order to gain more luminescence. It wasn't bright enough where it was, and now it's like having a regular light on in there all night. But she's sleeping fine, so I'm not going to mess with it.

Also I just took this online test and was so satisfied with the results that I decided to post them here instead of Facebook. Also, I don't really post anything on Facebook anymore, I've become more of a lurker/commentator. Which really plays to my strengths.
