Today is finally slow at work after 2 months of seemingly never-ending furnace replacement after furnace replacement (I'm tied to the heating and cooling industry). Plus you know, a baby and all makes it a little challenging to get a chunk of time to put in a good solid effort an update/blog.
In case you forgot, or are new to the show, my wife and I had a baby in June. Cooper will be five months old on Friday already, and it's absolutely true when they say babies change every day. He's now to the stage where he can roll with ease, and sit up on his own for long periods of time. He goos, gaas and even grrs as well as drools with the best of them. Coop clocks in at 17 pounds 2 ounces and 27 inches (as of last Monday). He loves being sung to. Mom does much more singing than I do; I sing the ABC's and that's about it (Well, he really likes it when I "doot--doot--doot" the Super Mario Bros. theme, but that's not really singing, is it?). We also read to him everyday and I like to think his favorites are Hop on Pop and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, but he'll listen to just about anything, even some Tom Clancy, if you smile when you read.
I can't not post pics, can I?
2 weeks (No he didn't get into the blueberry patch, he's a breast feeder, he had thrush and that's iodine.), 5 Weeks, 7 Weeks, 11 Weeks, 3 Months, 3 Months, 3 Months, 4 Months, 4 1/2 Months, 4 1/2 Months
I finally caved in and got a cell phone. I've never, ever owned one and was fine with that. My wife's been hounding me to get one ever since Cooper came along, and at work my partner and I decided to get a plan for the two of us. I wanted nothing fancy, just a simple easy to use flip phone. I sent my partner to go pick out a plan after discussing what we wanted and he couldn't resist getting a couple of Blackberry Curve 8330s. Oh, well. I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty cool, but I'm not nearly savvy enough to figure out how to use it to it's full potential. My jealous wife showed me how to use it. I now know how to call, text and play brick breaker on the can.
The Colts are 8-0 and ready for another "Game of the Century" against the Patriots next Sunday night. So, that's cool. The Tigers lost the division on the last day of the season after being in 1st for roughly 5 months straight. Not cool. Plus the Yankees won the World Series. Also, not cool.
I don't get a chance to play Nintendo much. I've played Rock Band 2 maybe three times since Cooper was born, but I'm not complaining. The only other significant gaming I've done is play through Super Mario World for the SNES in preparation for the New Super Mario Bros. Wii game which releases next Sunday. It looks awesome and I will be purchasing it that day. Not gonna wait until Christmas.
We switched over to DirecTV last Friday. I've had DISH Network for over two years now and when I tried to upgrade to HD in the spring the installer said there wasn't a spot on the property to put a dish that would have a clear shot at their HD satellite in outer space. I was a little reluctant to make the switch, cause DirectTV is more expensive, but they can provide HD and they do have more channels available, namely the NFL and MLB Networks. I'm already enjoying my football in HD, and looking forward LOST in Hi Def glory in January and HD Tigers games in the summer.
Until next time, take it easy fellow TV.commers.
It is very hot here in Australia and it is going to be all week (can bearly even go outside) but it's good we finally have the hot weather rolling in because I have been wanting the hot weather for so long =]. Also this weeks TV Show of the Week is one of my new faves and I hope you would watch it to (and like it ;]).
TV Show of the Week:
So, Sam is The Vessel for Lucifer. That's just it. Here are some quotes from my blog.
Final Seal Is Broken
| : |
| But how would you kill "spiritual presence"? I guess we will have Lucifer in a meatsuit. I hope it is not Sam, but it is possible... |
| : |
| I hope that we will have Sam as Evil Supernova and not as 'just some guy that went dark side'. I think that the only thing that can save Supernatural now is Super Freaking Powerful Evil Sam. It is interesting when we have shades of gray, but when we have too much of that it's just misery. |
| : |
| So, I guess Dean has to play some role in this mystery of Predecessor and Coming One. It is debatable who that Coming One is. It depends on who we are talking about whether we are talking about evil prince or hero that will stop him. So, it is possible that Sam is a vessel for Lucifer and Dean has to stop this. As I've said before on my blog Sam was a PERFECT vessel for Lucifer. But there is a possibility that Sam is just very powerful supernatural being, he is little bit dark inside, but not generally evil. And it is possible that both Sam and Dean are essential for defeating Lucifer and Lilith. Now as I have mentioned on CW forum Ruby is perfect ally for Sam. And she is back. But her influence on him is debatable. She does help him, but she also encourages him to explore his dark side. Yes, he is using his gifts for good, but it is possible that he will be sucked in. So, it is possible that Ruby is preparing a vessel for Lucifer. That's where her influence can be in sync with Lilith's. Lilith was afraid when her powers went puff with Sam. But that can only mean one thing, as I've already mentioned, Sam has something of Lucifer in him. And this is protecting him. Lucifer's powers are much more powerful than Lilith's. And now there is only one way for Lilith - to bring back Lucifer completely or be defeated by Sam. She does not consider later case to be an option. |
| : |
| It is funny that deliberately or not, but Sam Winchester's horoscope has two of the three stars commonly associated with Evil by some astrologers - Algol and Antares. :-) ... So, I guess, Lucifer will be rising after all... |
| : |
| So, if we accept the idea of Sam as Samael, then there are few ways to speculate about that. Venus (Lucifer) can be highlighted in horoscope, degrees of Zodiac connected with Lucifer can be highlighted or fictional planet Lucifer can be highlighted. That's pretty much it. So, what we have? |
Sorry, 'quote' tag does not work properly.
Astrology can give you certain hints about the story if this particular story follows the myth. Explanation is pretty simple - both astrology and myth belong to the same realm. And through that person or group of people can influence others, cause we all want to believe. :-)
So, I think you did notice that Sam-Lucifer have special and intimate relationship. Let's leave it at that for now. I have to remind you that bromance between Sam and Dean corresponds with relationship between Lucifer and Creator. Once upon a time... everything was different.
Think about possible implications of... Lucifer-Sam and Dean-God!!! I hope that Dean will have a chance to save Sam.

Just a quick note to advise users I will be away (in the Okanagan for vacation) from Sunday Aug 9th through Friday Aug 14th. I will be back online on Sat August 15th. If possible please refrain from submitting during this time. Thanks!
Made you look.
But since you're here, you will read some of my favorite April Fool's pranks...
1. Left-Handed Whoppers!
In 1998, Burger King ran an ad in USA Today, saying that people could get a Whopper for left-handed people whose condiments were designed to drip out of the right side. Not only did customers order the new burgers, but some specifically requested the "old", right-handed burger.
2. Spaghetti Trees!
The BBC television programme Programa ran a famous hoax in 1957, showing the Swiss harvesting spaghetti from trees. They had claimed that the despised pest the spaghetti weevil had been eradicated. A large number of people contacted the BBC wanting to know how to cultivate their own spaghetti trees.
3. Biblical Pi!
The April 1998 newsletter of New Mexicanz for Science and Reason contained an article written by physicist Mark Boslough claiming that the Alabama Legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi to the " Biblical value" of 3.0.
4. Taco Liberty Bell!
In 1996, Taco Bell took out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times announcing that they had purchased the Liberty Bell to "reduce the country's debt" and renamed it the "Taco Liberty Bell." When asked about the sale, White House press secretary Mike McCurry replied tongue-in-cheek that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold and would henceforth be known as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial.
5. Smell-O-Vision!
In 1965, the BBC purported to conduct a trial of a new technology allowing the transmission of odor over the airwaves to all viewers. Many viewers reportedly contacted the BBC to report the trial's success.
6. Jovian-Plutonian Gravitational Effect!
In 1976, British astronomer Sir Patrick Moore told listeners of BBC Radio 2 that unique alignment of Jupiter and Pluto would result in an upward gravitational pull making people lighter at precisely 9:47 a.m. that day. He invited his audience to jump in the air and experience "a strange floating sensation." Dozens of listeners phoned in to say the experiment had worked.
7. The Great Iceberg!
On April 1, 1978 a barge appeared in Sydney Harbour towing a giant iceberg. Dick Smith, a local adventurer and millionaire businessman, had been loudly promoting his scheme to tow an iceberg from Antarctica for quite some time. Now he had apparently succeeded. He said that he was going to carve the berg into small ice cubes, which he would sell to the public for ten cents each. These well-traveled cubes, fresh from the pure waters of Antarctica, were promised to improve the flavor of any drink they cooled. Slowly the iceberg made its way into the harbor. Local radio stations provided excited blow-by-blow coverage of the scene. Only when the berg was well into the harbor was its secret revealed. It started to rain, and the firefighting foam and shaving cream that the berg was really made of washed away, uncovering the white plastic sheets beneath.
8. NPR!
Every year National Public Radio in the United States does an extensive news story on April 1st. These usually start off more or less reasonably, and get more and more unusual. A recent example is the story on the "iBod" a portable body control device. It also runs false sponsor mentions, such as "Support for NPR comes from the Soylent Corporation, manufacturing protein-rich food products in a variety of colors. Soylent Green is People."
9. Maryville Madness!
In 2005, the Maryville Daily Forum newspaper in Maryville, Mo., published an entirely fake front page on April 1. One story detailed a plan to drain a local lake to find the city manager's lucky golf ball. Maryville City Hall also received dozens of phone calls from citizens outraged that the city would drain the lake.
And of course, since this is TV.com:
10. South Park Spoof!
April 1st, 1998 was advertised as being the premiere of the show's second season — and also the resolution of a cliffhanger where Eric Cartman was about to discover the identity of his father. Fans spent weeks speculating on the father's identity, but when they tuned in to watch it they were instead treated to Terrance & Phillip in "Not Without My Anus" , a half-hour of Terrance and Phillip fart jokes. The true resolution to the cliffhanger aired several weeks later. The show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone claim during the DVD introduction to this episode that they received death threats over pulling the prank. I was one of the fans waiting to watch the episode... and I was not too happy about the alternative!
New year, back to school. Spring is almost here. New series. New stuff. Things to do with the family and friends. Websites... What to do... It depends.
Now that the new year is here, hopefully I can prioritize my time more cleanly. 2007 was a bit... unorganized and lots of strange happenings here and there. Hopefully 2008 has better things in store for the lot of us (unless you're worried about your finances and the market, heh, I don't know. 
).
