I-AM-FUDGE

Taken directly from Wikipedia: 
The Hunger Games is a first person young-adult science fiction novel written by Suzanne Collins. It was originally published on September 14, 2008, by Scholastic.^[1] It is the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy.^[2] It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where the United States once existed. This is where a government working in a central city called the Capitol holds power. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl aged 12 to 18 from each of 12 districts for a massive televised battle in which only one person can survive.
The movie will be out next spring.  This is what excites me.  Yes the books were good, but I am looking forward to Katniss kicking some butt with her bow.

The iPhone 4S was announced just a few days ago.  The question you ask yourself "is it worth the upgrade?"  Well, my answer will always be, if you can upgrade for the discounted price, yes!  I don't know who would not be able to sell the previous gen unit for the price you pay in the upgrade.  I have always cleaned up, erased and sold my iPhone on craigslist or ebay for more than what I paid for it, and it was over a year old.
So Thursday evening, 8:45pm I decided to wait up until 10:01-3am eastern time to order the new iPhone.  When I tried to place the order EARLY, like 9:45, I realized that I counted wrong, and I am already 45 minutes late.  I kept getting errors, etc. and the order would just not process.  I checked twitter, and a lot of people on my timeline were having troubles too.

I almost quit trying at about 11:00pm, but something went through, and I got a message from Apple saying my rsvp was in and I would get an email to finish the order.

Movie looks good.  Here is the first look of Anne Hathaway as Cat Woman.  Looking pretty tough on that bike.

So...
My wife came by my school on Friday to give me a surprise.  I thought it would be a nice cold Iced Coffee.  She made me close my eyes and open my hands.  I felt a plastic thing, like a large sharpie.  I opened my eyes and saw a pregnancy test that said, "PREGNANT" What?  Are you kidding?  Since we have been trying for a few years now, and I am positive it was me that is the reason, I was so happy.  I changed my diet to vegetarian for a month, took grape seed oil pills, and Raw vitamin E pills.  I am pretty sure that, along with lots of prayers is what made this little baby.

So, when I started my little blog, I was going to write about the mileage on my car. Where I was, what I was doing when my car hit certain mile points. I stopped about 40,000 miles ago, but now that I have hit 100,000 I never would have guessed that I would be where I am today, when my car hit the 6 digit mark.
I am living in Nebraska, working back at Westside ECC, and was driving a car I bought in hawaii 7 years ago. Never thought I would be back here. I was driving with Carissa to see Kelly Heflin dance at her recital. Who knows where I will be when my next car hits a major milestone.

Going Veg.
Today is Day one of going vegetarian. I did it last year around this time leading up to my birthday so wanted to try a bit longer. My main focus is health and having a baby. If changing my diet to subtract meat, adding some vitamins that help the swimmers swim faster and stronger, this will be easy.

Homemade salsa, guacamole, with black beans on tortillas, and pita chips. Melon for dessert.

Go Sun Devils.  ASU decided their logo was to "cartoony" today they introduced a more edgy logo.  I like it.  Can't wait for an all black hat with the logo in gold.

They look good, they taste good, but are they as "natural" as they claim?   A blogger has poked a hole in Wendy's claims of the fries being "natural". A report shows the fries use a stew of exotic laboratory chemicals to improve the fries' appearance, flavor, and ease of cooking.

The fries do away with the steam skinning -- ironically, one of the most "natural" parts of the average fast food company's fry manufacturing process.  

Chopped, the fries begin their chemical journey with a dip in sodium acid pyrophosphate.  They're also powdered with slightly more natural D-glucose (crystallized from corn).  Together the two components prevent the fries from browning during their first fry at the factory and their second fry at the restaurant.

Yesterday iPad 2 was announced to the world.  First question, will I get one? Yes.  The dual cameras alone is enough for me, yet double the speed, thinner and a bit lighter, easier to hold, I will take all those.  Hoping my dad will buy one for my mom, so I can then use FaceTime and see my family back home more often.  Got one iPad-First Gen, for sale.  Any takers?
