I think Kenny Rogers (on Wesley’s new net radio station) just sang that if you’re gonna’ play the GameBoy you gotta’ learn to play it right?

<—Brunch Master. Made moka coffee to sip while making breakfast bagels (thought of Billy and Tara), had press with the food. BZZZT!!!

Our Irish Coffees http://flic.kr/p/9wZGr6

@don_rivers We are so jealous and don’t like you anymore.

@don_rivers Nice try. Saying you’re at Flying Star – now *that* would be jealousy-inducing.

@don_rivers ‘Twas my favorite lunch date/do spot. I lived near Cottonwood Mall, 5 mins from the Bernalillo Flying Star. Sigh…

2 rounds of Irish Coffee downed, Art Bell over, candles lit, starting up MonsterVision with Joe Bob Briggs – The People Under The Stairs 🙂

@MicheleSims1 🙂

Oddly, third in row we’ve watched w/ Everett McGill – Twin Peaks as Ed Hurley, Dune as Fremen leader ("you’re Paul Mo-uh-deeb-uh"), now this

Uh, and Wendy Robie plays Everett McGill’s wife in The People Under the Stairs. She also plays Nadine Hurley, McGill’s wife in Twin Peaks.

Hit some bad sync issues on the Joe Bob. Fortunately, Netflix IW has the movie, too. Not the same, but we’ll try a different movie next week

The girl in The People Under the Stairs SO looks just like a young Karen Allen. It’s uncanny in some shots/expressions.

The People Under the Stairs is quite the, uh, genre-bender, innit.

Grrrrr! RT @streamingsoon: Netflix streams all episodes of 4 series (TOS, TNG, Voyager, Enterprise) start 7/1. All eps of DS9 start 10/15.

Watching the blu-ray of Dune with Terra – her first time – while Wesley watched Krull in his room for his first time.

Wesley, level 8 demo derby, his first 1st place http://flic.kr/p/9wWDq9

Um, ew. Note to self: The slightest grind difference gets amplified in a moka pot. Gotta bullseye it. If it looks too coarse, start over.

It’s out already?? RT @PSLifeStyle: New blog post: PS3 Review – The Tomb Raider Trilogy http://bit.ly/gdnWca

Though, my real excitement is for the Splinter Cell HD release 🙂 If it were the old Tomb Raiders (esp. 3rd and 4th), that’d be different.

Counting down to Art Bell, the best Irish Coffee in town, movie with Joe Bob Briggs, drifting off on the couch with The Twilght Zone 🙂 🙂

Though, Netflix has added Thriller – the 1960 anthology show hosted by Karloff himself. May try that rather than Twilight Zone.

Having really good BLT (the best!) while Terra plays Free Realms. Been SO looking forward to this all day.

All my acting aspirations died the day I woke up and realized "I’m too old to play Annie". Haven’t crept the boards since.

Found a great (so far) kids net radio. Lots of Animaniacs, songs from Disney movies, stuff I know from DrD http://amazingtroy.com/shout.html

My only raised eyebrow so far was the old Cows with Guns song, which does have that one line but it’s hardly obscene, just uh, tmi 😛

Heh, and it’s occasionally old-school patriotic. F’rinstance right now Tennessee Ernie Ford (yes, really) doing Battle Hymn of the Republic

Been a fan since Omikron on Dreamcast RT @PSLifeStyle blog post: Quantic Dream Sitting Down to Talk E3 Reveal with Sony http://bit.ly/f47IRV

Hearing songs from Disney’s Aladdin reminds me of my old rule: Robin Williams should be heard, not seen. (One Hour Photo is the exception)

Ok, any kids radio station that plays Me First and the Gimme Gimmes is my kind of kids radio station!

Wesley knows the steps to make siphon, press, espresso (and cappuccino), and we’re learning moka. One day, I will let him try it.

Press is hands on with near-boiling water, moka is stovetop, as is siphon/vac. I guess espresso is the safest for a child.

Though, otoh, he could do all the press steps but pour the water if we don’t do the scoop method. He already likes pressing the pots anyway.

Wesley will be the youngest World Barista Champion. At this rate, he’ll be able to make all kinds of coffee before he’s ever even tasted it.

With his coffee & cooking skills, we’ll be borrowing money from Wesley someday. If all else fails, he’ll make someone a great little wife 😛

Oh yeah. Teaching Wesley the YMCA dance 😛

@MicheleSims1 Does your jealousy-inducing Foursquaring know no limits?!! 😛

Ok, it’s soaked long enough. Time to scrub up this moka pot and see what I can make with it.

This is the best moka coffee I’ve ever made but that isn’t saying much. Still kinda’ burnt. No burnt rubber taste like my first pot, though.

The full thickness and richness of moka coffee (moreso than press, not quite espresso) makes me think it would be perfect for iced coffee.

For the moka pot I ground much coarser than espresso, but considerably finer than I usually do for siphon. Just feeling around in the dark.

I can see why the Italians do equal parts moka coffee and hot milk (at breakfast). It’d probably be awesome. I’ll have to try it asap.

Ooers! Stephen King’s The Stand is on Netflix IW. Looks more like my old LaserDisc than the DVD, though. Still epic and worth your time.

Am I the only one who’s noticed the atrocity commited on Froot Loops? Multi-grain?? They’ll never be the same. First Star Wars, now this.

@don_rivers Ok, settle this – were you just at Hastings?

@don_rivers HA! Grrr. She said she saw you and i said it wasn’t you and then she keeps "there he went again", thought leg was being pulled

@don_rivers yup, that musta been you. Funny, i even said to her "That wasn’t him, his hair is wrong".

Now? RT @feedfliks: All seasons of MacGyver have now been made available now on Netflix Streaming http://fb.me/SBgOqVQK

Terra is getting her first glimpse of that special kind of frenetic awesomeness that is a lazy Sunday of coffee + MMO 😉 #freerealms #ps3

Words to live by. "You can’t buy love, happiness, or experience points."

A bucket o’ KFC, Menage a Trois 2009 California Rose, and this week’s Dr. Demento 🙂

Really thinking press coffee is much better than siphon for Irish Coffee. Irish needs a darker, not as clean cup.

Get this. Tonight’s slumber party junk food flick is "The Funhouse" on MonsterVision with Joe Bob Briggs – thanks shawnd80! Ok, roll it.

Btw, this is Terra’s first Joe Bob Briggs. I (and the ex) used to watch him every week back in the day. I’m a total slobbering fan.

RT @streamingsoon: 007 fans rejoice! Netflix isn’t streaming all the Bond flicks, but there are at least a dozen available as of today.

I’m not the only one to notice Trek isn’t on netflix IW yet, but I can’t find any comment from @Netflix about it.

WTF??!!! NOOOOOO!! I use it ALL day, EVERY day!!! Site closure – PSP Radio — http://bit.ly/h15vKs

Well, on Netflix, I’m seeing all of Twin Peaks (HD 5.1!), two seasons (?!) of Twilight Zone, but zero Star Trek yet.

In celebration of what tonight may be our Best. Spn. Evar. I have granted special dispensation for Wesley to play Free Realms all day ;P

!!! If you haven’t seen it in HD, here’s your chance RT @vudufans: 99 Cent Movie of the Day for 4/1 is "Moulin Rouge!" http://fb.me/F2uzNuZW

So this is what it’s like to a be a disgruntled parent… Free Realms just told Wesley he can’t fish anymore unless he pays for membership!

Apparently, you can’t hit level 5 on any job unless you pay. It’s not terribly expensive – but the subscription is only for one person.

Since everyone in this house is interested in Free Realms, my plan was see who stuck with it before we start buying any subscriptions.

Ok, Wesley got a 3 month membership for $13. If he keeps playing, we’ll negotiate his contract renewal when expiration time comes.

And I keep forgetting to mention that Glee is now on Netflix IW. I’ve high hopes. Seems the only people who like it are people I like 🙂

So now Wesley is the first to get to play the Pirate ship-to-ship combat game or whatever it is – it’s a members-only game.

Btw, I haven’t fully tested it yet (by playing a movie) but I THINK you can get the 99c VUDU movie today and watch it later – within 30 days

And should I be excited that Sons of Anarchy is on NetflixIW now? It rings a bell like I’ve heard great things about it here and there.

Oh noes. So, there’s a Netflix Queue limit. And we’ve hit it.

Mmkay, I just wiped the Netflix disc slate clean, save very few.

@MicheleSims1 heh, uh, 500 *blush*. Combined between disc & instant queues. But, turned out a lot of those were multi-disc sets for tv etc.
