Not likely. But it seems that I have completely abandoned my blogs for far too long and that at some point, my need to write and rant overwhelms me. Though no one will read this, it feels good to just ramble. After all, as Gurkin states: "It's not about being read, it's about being written." Though my blogs will probably not contain words like "douchebagery".
For 14 months now, Utah has been my home. Goodbye New York! I do not miss you! Really, central New York was an awful place to raise children. My family was too far away and the crime rate was insane. I really don't like hearing gunshots every night. Really people!
Speaking of children: I have two now! Damen is an amazing 3 and a half, and our newest, Darrian is a beautiful two months old. I suppose the mountain air must be good for me. Only 3 months after we moved to Utah, I was pregnant. We had been trying for almost a year in New York with NOTHING happening. How do you like that? Unlike Damen, he has brown hair though. But that's okay! Before we even knew his gender, I acknowledged that the chances of having another red headed baby was slim to none, and I'm okay with that. I have my red headed, blue eyed baby and the rest are free to be whatever they may be! Darrian has light brown hair and though his eyes are currently still just as blue as the day he was born, that may change to brown. Who knows.
And you know, I always thought "holiday babies" were so cliche. I thought it was rather a curse to have kids on holidays. That the poor child would hate it their whole life! Then again, I suppose it depends on the holiday... But I find myself mistaken yet again. Darrian was born on St. Patrick's Day, and sure, it's not a huge holiday, but it is a holiday nonetheless and one that my family celebrates every year. Come to find out, it's fun! I love saying that he's my St. Patty's baby, plus it makes it so much easier for family members to recall. (My mother in law and father in law aren't exactly the most sane of people anymore, haha! Though I do love them dearly, don't get me wrong.) The downside for him: He's going to receive a lot of green items in his life. The Plus Side: He can REALLY celebrate his 21st birthday!
Sims 2: I'm freakin obsessed with this game once again. I stopped for some time since my laptop ran it rather slowly. But a few months ago, the laptop fried and we bought a replacement desktop. Tada! I can play Sims again, and I'm having a hard time stopping. ^_^ Not only playing, but learning to create custom objects for it. Right now I'm pretty limited to the basic walls, floors and wall hangings, but I hope to expand into more complex things. How awesome would it be to have your Sims driving a Mach 5??? Ah yes, my dream project...
Speed Racer hit theaters, and I was there opening night. Not as many people as I expected in the theater... It's gotten bad reviews, most critics hate it, people say it's cheesy, and since it brought in under 20 million in the first weekend, it is being considered a failure. HOWEVER -- I really enjoyed it! I've been a big fan of Speed Racer since I was just a tiny kid, and I'll watch it any chance I get! I was thrilled when I heard about plans for the movie. Sure it was cheesy, sure it was made just for the sake of having fun with CGI, but it stuck to the Speed Racer style and close to the storyline. Respect for the original concepts - now THAT I can respect.
Okay, it's way too late and I need to actually sleep for once in my life. Ciao!
