a french beat boxer...wow

our attempt to be just as cool as he is:

do you have what it takes?

This is what happens when we innocently start playing a game of DDR and it turns competitive against the TV. Sarah was at work, Ellie was babysitting and Steph was with some friends, Andy and Sarah had just left and we were left at home and were home-worked out. There seemed to be only one logical choice: play DDR. The first video is a pre-video gone wrong. The second is taken during a 'B' round.

After seven rigorous rounds of the same song, we finally achieved our goal: A's for both of us! We now refer to each other as DDR Masters.

our vacuum cleaner has not been working very well and tonight i figured out why. i started vacuuming the stairs and after about seven or eight steps, the vacuum just shut off because of a clog. i opened up the front and saw a big clump of something that looked like a dead rat with fur. i started pulling and it just kept coming. it was not a dead animal, it was our hair. that is weird, but the weirdest part is that the hair segregated itself according to it's color. we've attached a picture, but it doesn't give the full effect. seriously, this is one of the nastiest (but coolest) things we've seen in a while.

I didn't watch the season in which Tony Almeida supposedly died, but was so sad when I heard about his death. Mostly through wishful thinking I was determined that he would come back to the show. Most people thought I was crazy...


BUT, a couple days ago Steph told me that she heard from Courtney (who I'm just guessing found out through a blog) that he is coming back in the 2008 season :) and I just googled it and it looks like it's true. In my (subjective) opinion, this is a really good attempt to redeem the show from last year's horrible season.

Pete and Jess!

Pete and Jess are engaged! Congratulations guys! WOO HOOO!!!
