Guitar Hero Is THE Coolest Game Ever

OK, picture this. Bryan and I went into Best Buy to look at refrigerators at about 7:00 and we did not leave until about 8:45. Do you know why? We were playing the demo of "Guitar Hero" which is only the COOLEST game ever invented! I picked up the package with the game and wireless guitar 3 times but I kept putting it back because it was $90.00. Finally Bryan said, "Screw it, we're gettin' it!" We stayed up till midnight playing that darn game and I cannot wait to get home after work and start playing again. It is so freakin' awesome. We are addicted.

My Dad is Cool

So, any of you know my dad is in a band? Yep, he's the lead singer and part-time lead guitarist. They call themselves the Intercoastal Pirates. Below are the original five band members: Stuart, My Daddy-O, Steve, Wendall (Rest In Peace), and Rod.

Here he is ripping on his guitar like a regular Stevie Ray Vaughn the night they opened for Roger Creager himself:

I mean, they have their own website and everything: http://myspace.com/intercoastalpirates Everytime I watch him play its like he gets better and better. I have to admit, it is sort of fun being a groupie. And so many girls are so jealous of my mother for being married to a rockstar! Oh, and here are my beautiful parents right after Dad finished playing. Aren't they sweet?

Meet the Kids

Well here is our first entry on our very first blog. My very good friend JD talked us into it. I am not sure if you all have met our kids: Mally, Chloe, and Bob. Our dog Mally was recently taken back from her adoptive parents in a very "Indian Giver-like" manner.

(My parents adopted her for almost 2 years and we took her back) And let me tell you, having a cat with serious mood-swings and a dog with the personality of a kid with Attention-Deficit Disorder does not exactly make for a calm 2-bedroom apartment.

But we make it work. Bob, our fish, probably has the best seat in the house because he just gets to sit back a watch the madness when Mally tries to tackle Chloe, and Chloe repeatedly hisses at her and swats her (with a DECLAWED paw, mind you). So of course, Mally takes this as a love-tap and just keeps tackling. But it DOES make for a good laugh every day, and unfortunately its a Chloe's expense.
