A 10 List

Forgive me for not posting recently. I am still learning work-life balance. I am going to get more regular about this. Regular like fiber. HAAR!

1) I'm engaged. It's exciting to this I've met the person I am going to share my life with, grow old with, etc. Now, the planning is underway, and it is the last hurdle. It is a tall hurdle. Argh. Haar.

2) Arghaar. It is my new word to describe wedding planning talk.

3) In July 2009 we should see new NIH guidelines regarding stem cell use in the U.S. This will be a big development in terms of scientists are able to use in their studies.

4) Anything sort of a Big XII championship followed by a national title game appearance and win for Texas will be a disappointing season. The road for the title game goes through Florida, but you play the games for reason. We'll see what happens. Next 4-6 years are going to be exciting times for Texas fans. F' oklahoma.

5) The summer is coming up, and I am vehemently looking forward to grilling with my housemates and friends. There are a few new recipes I have been devising that I am looking forward to trying.

6) People who have no belief in the fantastic, the amazing, that dreams can come to fruition suck royally. As far as I am concerned, these types of people are unnecessarily negative and have no place in my life.

7) I am surprised by how nice the PS3 is. My fiancee seems to like LittleBigPlanet. The game looks fun and the system is quite nice. It definitely has better reliability than the Xbox 360 based on what I have been perusing online. But I'm an Xbox guy. Sony pissed me off with the way they treated me ~2001 when my PS1 died within its warranty period. So, I am hesitant to make my video gaming bed with Sony again.

8) Today is the digital TV signal conversion day. HOORAY! The future starts today!

9) The new Daves Matthews Album is surprisingly good. Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King.

10) The Star Trek movie (2009) was incredible. I need to see it again sometime, or perhaps wait for Blu-ray / DVD or whatever. It is movie that met my expectations.
