I Invented You and I Will Destroy You

I've been a bit lazy on my updates as of late. There was the election. I'm happy with the outcome, but what else needs to be said that hasn't already. Gobama! I saw Barack and Michelle's post-election interview on 60 Minutes on Sunday. They seem so normal and relatable (not to mention very, very intelligent). While it feels like the world is crumbling around us (economy, war, Prop 8, etc.), I still can't help but feel optimistic about the future.

Speaking of Prop 8, Allison and I joined the nationwide protest Saturday, by joining the mass of vocal advocates for gay marriage downtown. It was cold and rainy, but sometimes you've got to suffer a little bit for what's right. Forty-one years ago, it would have been illegal in large part of the country for me to marry my wife, so I can't help but defend those that want something that should be a basic civil right.

Our Life Is Not a Movie or Maybe

In my effort to write about forty great songs of 2007, I neglected to acknowledge that our little blog has been up and running for a year now. I want to thank the five of you that check in on us here at nerd[heart]geek on a semi-regular basis. You are the wind beneath our wings.

In other news, we've lost our souls to our new Xbox 360. I'm addicted to Bioshock and Allison has been testing her skills at Luxor 2. Also, there's all the on-line content of which I've just barely scratched the surface. In other words, if you haven't heard from me in a while, look in front of our television; I'll be the drooling, red-eyed mess.

The last two Tuesday nights have been kind of exciting. I tend to watch the primaries and debates during the election season like most people watch NCAA basketball. The outcomes for Iowa and New Hampshire have been unexpected. And hey, there's nothing new on television right now due to the writers strike, so what else am I going to watch?

I guess I could read a book.

Or write a book.

Or try to make my community better.

Ooooooo! Look! Xbox!
