So apparently American Cinema isn’t as big in Japan as it should be. Because the Japs don’t see the sheer folly in giving their robots lasers and teaching them how to fight.

Thanks Sarah

Ah, the Big Easy… New Orleans. It’s a great place with some great food.

We’re having a blast!

But we’re not having as much fun as this guy:

With all the new style gameboys running around these days, it was about time for some love for the orginal.  Sporting some new inards, this old school game boy actually has full on PC power.  Complete with win XP running on a 4 Gig CF HD, and USB, NIC & VGA ports.  Nice.

Alright, the first installment of the great DIY pics we’ve been getting. One of the big problems with the living room/kitchen was the double small door arrangement they had going on. There were two 32″ doors on each side of the room. Which A) is silly and B) made both rooms seem closed off.

Our solution was to close one door off while widening the other to double its orginal size — essentially moving the other doo next to the first. The difference was dramatic. The rooms are now more open while at the same time having more usable wall space. And the cool fluted door trim is pretty sweet as well.

Some of our widening frenzy spilled over to the adjacent door which was also made 4″ wider. That was the most we could change it without it becoming a huge project. I think the change it made is still significant. Well enough talk here are the pics:

Responding to Sen John Kerry’s recent remarks, ("You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq." - Washington Post) a few soldiers made him a sign.

As Bill Engvall would say: here’s your sign… The now famous sign put a hilarous spin on the comment from Kerry. The Senator first claimed he botched joke about Bush, but later after pressure appologized to those people were offended by misinterpreting his joke. (The smart people all knew what he meant to say). Two comments on this:

1) The troops displayed the BEST possible reaction to the badly botched joke - a good one.

Finally made it home! Our last hotel’s wifi was down, so here’s the last of the trip… We woke to find our hotel surrounded by a parade for the Pino Bean Festival (you can’t make this stuff up).

When we finally made it back to the Volunteer State it was finally starting to feel like we were on the home stretch. In Memphis we didn’t have time to take in Graceland, but we did see the Pyramid & St. Jude’s

This morning I found my hotel’s continental breakfast lacking. No joke, they had cereal but no milk, sausage but no eggs, and muffins but no butter. Luckily there was a Denny’s next door - there seemed to be a lot of Denny’s in the West.

Speaking of the West, apparently it hasn’t been completely tamed. I snapped a pic of an actual dino attack right by the road!
