New House

As Sarah mentioned, we have been in our new 4-bedroom Rialto home since March of this year.  We were lucky enough to purchase it before building began, so we got our choice of flooring, countertops, and cabinets.  We were also lucky enough to receive “upgraded” appliances and landscaping in both yards, which the builders were kind enough to add to our home as they began to increase incentives on the unsold homes.  It practically has everything we need; bedrooms for sleeping, a kitchen for cooking, a living room for TV and Wii, an office for computer stuff, a den for violin lessons, a spare room for Sarah’s booming Mary Kay business, and bathrooms for bathrooming.  I’m sure that you probably want to see what it looks like, so here are a few photos of the new house, taken during various stages of development.  Enjoy!

Han Solo, P.I.

It sure has been quiet around here.  One of these days, I’ll get around to writing a post about the new house, but until then, enjoy this:

Distracting Trumpet

If you’re a fan of classic mafia themed films, you probably remember sitting through several instances of the almost stereotypical abstract trumpet solos which either distracted you from the dialogue or at least left you wondering, “Where have they stashed the trumpeter this time?”

Earth Day, 2009

It’s Earth Day again!  If you haven’t been saving the environment for free, today is the perfect day to start.  It’s also the perfect day to plant trees and donate to a few worthy charities, like The Nature Conservancy and The Conservation Fund.

Star Trek’s Return

I just saw the new trailer for this year’s Star Trek.  I have to say that this will certainly rival Watchmen as my favorite movie of 2009 (so far).  I was never a big Star Trek fan (excluding Voyager, of which I have seen almost every episode), but the alleged premise of this film is very interesting.  It sounds like Nero, a Romulan from the future, somehow travels back in time and either purposefully or accidentally causes the death of the legendary Captain James T. Kirk’s father, which causes Kirk to grow up as a far more immature and reckless individual, and therefore establishes a timeline that is fundamentally different than what we have know of the Star Trek universe.  All I can say is, I’m really looking forward to this.
