RT @baristadecasa: True RT @DryforkPastor: Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles; it takes away today’s peace.

For those keeping score at home, Wesley is now down three baby teeth. I had to help this one out – it had been unusable for days.

RT @ABQChristopher: Wesley has learned all the wrong things from me. I think the only chance is a master reset to factory state.

This WOULD HAVE been a tweet that we’re out back waiting for fireworks if Alamo had decided not to KILL our plans by having them last night.

Natch. Easily worth a buck, esp in HD, 5.1. RT @vudufans: 99 Cent Movie of the Day for 7/4 is " Independence Day " http://fb.me/CYWZstiU

@KonyaHurricane yeah, I’d noticed on the blu-ray but I try to not use those words or else I invalidate many great movies of the past.

@KonyaHurricane That "we shoulda’ shot it in slo-mo but we just slowed it in post" is a pet peeve of mine I see in quite a few flicks.

@KonyaHurricane I imagine the director with the editor saying "what was I thinking not shooting it overcranked?!" and making the bad choice

@KonyaHurricane that and the "I should have zoomed in but didn’t" and you get an editing room zoom with tell-tale bad resolution

@KonyaHurricane was afraid you’d ask that because I can’t think of an example. Maybe next time I see one, I’ll tweet it at you.

@KonyaHurricane I’m usually watching movies with people who don’t notice those things, so, it isn’t discussed and fades from memory.

Glanced in the living room and Natalie Portman is on Sesame Street. … Move over, Wesley, we’re watching this one together 😛

When I see celebs not known for kid-friendly stuff on Sesame Street, I sometimes wonder if it’s ever a judge-ordered community service thing

Ugh, she’s singing and shouldn’t be. When she talks, she sounds hoarse – obviously recorded the song previously.

Tomorrow, we make a sacred pilgrimage to Ruidoso for a transcendent disc golfing experience at one of the best courses I’ve ever thrown.

Ok, Weird Al’s new polka mix is awesome 🙂 The newest Dr. Demento Show and Long John Silvers starts slumber party night.

After The Cage episode of Trek as an appetizer, the slumber party main feature is 1981’s The Dark Night of the Scarecrow and ice coffees 🙂

I am stunned at how well I remember this movie – even to bits of dialogue. If I saw it when it came on tv, I would have been 8.

I have now completed all 36 episodes of The Twilight Zone season one – all post-spn viewing. I am continually impressed with the writing.

Terra is pressing some coffee to go over ice, and a big pot of metal-filtered siphon for with breakfast burritos, which I’m making 🙂

Got to the course just as a tourny was meeting up! Bad luck. So, we went into town for the awesome kitchen tools/toys shop. Now going back.

Grindstone disc golf course in Ruidoso just gets better everytime I play it. But, they slightly changed hole 4 and drastically changed 9.

Wesley, @KonyaHurricane, @nurseterra, and I had a great time disc golfing in ruidoso but we’d all prefer to not discuss our scores 😛

@VaporCast Long time listener, first time tweeter. Am I supposed to let this Midnight Express steep? (Batch ID 1, ordered 25th, recvd 30th)

When people come over I’m always behind the bar. They probably suspect I have goat legs or that my shoes don’t match my outfit or something.

I was complaining about Netflix’s rating system again and remembered this http://christophercornelius.com/wp/2008/06/03/my-movies-ratings/

Just noticed we have been having slumber party nights for over three years now – first one was May 31, 2008.

Wesley has already begun his day of LittleBigPlanet – he’ll presumably be there allllll day again. #ps3 #tgif

Thinking Bernoulli would have some things to say about our evap cooler not working well on a windy day.

Yup, Netflix IW today got all episodes of Star Trek, Voyager, Enterprise, and The Next Generation. It’s a good day to be a sci-fi geek 😛

I see the old Star Trek on Netflix IW are indeed the "improved" effects versions with the 5.1 remixes. Not a complaint, haven’t seen ’em.

At least I’d have a use for mine :P. RT @SteveVape: on the blog: Tutorial: G4 Drip Atomizer Mod http://bit.ly/mxr51a #ecig #vaping

@SteveVape we barely got to try our G4s – got one each, within a few days both ours got broken tubes trying to put 510 drip tip in. (??)

Fyi, my new 1000mAh eGo, out of the box, lasted almost 24hrs (minus a few sleeping) until it just now needs charging.

We have found Joe Glo isn’t as good as Cafiza for our purposes, which is mostly cleaning presses and siphon pots. Haven’t done Gaggia test.

Sigh… We need a PS3 gamer guild for 5-year-olds. People get impatient and quit Wesley’s LBP games. He has fun anyway, but still.

It’d be different if more people in LBP used voice chat – if he could hear them, he’d know what they want him to do (2-person puzzles, etc)

@vaporcast Right on, thanks. Lovin’ the 1000mAh 🙂 I now have the biggest eGo of anyone I know! Which isn’t news to anyone who knows me 😛

Now uploading a funny outtake from a siphon pot vid we were toying with. I’ll post the link when done. It’s a must see. Trust me.

Ok, everybody go ahead, point and laugh at me 😛 http://youtube.com/watch?v=UgiHNYC55HA Why not just pull it out and light it?

Wesley lost a second baby tooth last night. It’s now in the cup with the other one on the shelf in our sitting room.

@KonyaHurricane My assumption is that it’s because I tilted it, jostled it, etc..

@KonyaHurricane yeah, the look on my face in the vid is a moment of genuine embarassment and a dawning "Wow, that was totally dumb" 😛

@KonyaHurricane And reminds me of a fire-spewing trick I once tried, ending in a blistered thumb, and then-wife getting face fireball O.O

@KonyaHurricane You can YouTube 151 Fireball to get the general idea. I, uh, did the flaming thumb version. Bad night 😛

@KonyaHurricane Nobody’s more surprised than I that I didn’t panic, drop it, burn the house down, etc. 😛

Once in a great while, I wake up, hate a whole room out of the blue, and spend the day changing everything. This day, it was Wesley’s room.

My new 1000mAh USB eGo (from vaporcaststore.com) will be delivered TODAY!! 🙂 🙂 That was pretty fast! #ecig #vaporcast

RT @KonyaHurricane: http://t.co/UVppank Pixar movies over time with their RottenTomatoes rating. Is Cars 2 really "Pixar’s first bad movie"?

AND it’s a windy day – this new cooler seems to only barely work when it’s really windy. Still 83 in the house, 46% RH!

Over the mountains, big dark spot? Is that the smoke? Doesn’t look like any kind of weather. Too huge to be just dust.

Caveat: I have no opinion of Cars 2, haven’t seen it but will soon – been hyping Wesley – I just didn’t know it was getting bad reviews.

Uh oh. RT @PSLifeStyle: New blog post: Shareholders Ask Sony CEO to Step Down http://bit.ly/lUqmeh

They gave her an absurd sched this month that starts with 5 on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off, 3 on, then finally a full weekend. Then it gets worse.

@CoffeeAdventure Have no pourover but used 60g, 20oz in press, 4min, then over 200g ice in decanter – I like it but does it miss the point?

@CoffeeAdventure btw, the press was poured immediately and slowly but I doubt it’s exactly the same as what you described. Is it close?

@CoffeeAdventure I’d love to but pourover is one of the few coffee geekery apparati I don’t own so I was trying to approximate best I could

@CoffeeAdventure Wondering if I could achieve similar using a siphon pot. Sigh. Gotta get into pourover.

@SteveVape Yeah, I think my nic intake has easily tripled since I can now get my fix anytime, anywhere. Which means pretty much non-stop 😛

So sick of rotating charging 510s, really wish my new vapo’d get here. Got the Joye 1000mAh USB eGo with the 5-click on/off on the way.

Oh, and I sent the Lea back for exchange today. We’re going to keep it on hand as a spare. We vow to never be PT-less again. Chargers suck!

Wow, npr, isn’t 524am a little early for playing a pretty horrible recording of a teenager being repeatedly shot and screaming?

@vaporcast You noticed that, too, huh?

Welcome, everyone, to opening day of The 3rd Annual Christopher Complains About The Heat And How Useless Swamp Coolers Are For Three Months!

And this year is extra special because the car’s dead and the truck has no air conditioning! I’m sure we’re all gonna have a great time!

The weather’s been annoying so far but the last couple days have been truly unpleasant. So we’re days away from my constant foul invective.

RT @SteveVape: on the blog: E-Cig 101: Atomizers and Cartomizers http://bit.ly/jZiNkS #ecig #vaping

I just saw a woman walking down the street, pushing a 6-seater baby carriage. Three on each side, back to back. Hope she works at a nursery.

Just wow. Had to go in to the nursing home where Terra works. And wanted out immediately. Very disturbing.

How Terra can be in there everyday and see so much more than I glimpsed is a huge testament as to what kind of person she is.

Came home from errands (it was humid, so I left the cooler on high dry) and both thermometers agree – it’s 87 degrees in here.

Space Channel 5 coming to PSN "late summer"! But, it sucks? http://eurogamer.net/articles/2011-04-12-space-channel-5-2-xbla-psn-this-summer
