I brought a new mug into work the other day — something that was due, given that I lost my company mug about a year ago. I have a problem with it, though. While it just exudes coolness, with its Marvin the Martian<\/a> motif, it’s considerably bigger than a normal mug. My cups of coffee are now 1\/2 cups of coffee. I don’t know if I like having all that extra space.<\/p>\n

The wife and I watched the return of 8 Simple Rules<\/a> sans Jon Ritter this week. While I’d have to say the return episode wasn’t too shabby — it was emotional without feeling contrived, I don’t know how they’ll continue the show without their lead character. This isn’t like replacing a red shirt on Star Trek. He was the show. It’s too bad, really. Before his death, it was quickly becoming the only show on ABC worth watching.<\/p>\n

The wife and I spent much of Saturday at a birthday party for the now two year old daughter of our good friends. I felt a little bad for our friends at the result; some of their planning backfired. A joyous pinata party ended up being a ritual hanging where all the kids took turns beating Sponge Bob<\/a> with a stick. I hope she recovers soon. The birthday cake probably cheered her up. It contained what was left of his Square Pants after we carved him up.<\/p>\n

We ended the night by catching the lunar eclipse. It was pretty wild to watch the moon and a star align. It’s like watching parent earth punish its unruly kids. You go to that corner and you go to that corner. It was first time I actually watched an eclipse occur. We got the telescope out and everything. I even got a long exposure picture, using the last of the film I bought specifically for photographing stars while I was in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

After those fluffy things in the sky, quite literally, clouded our vision, the wife and I headed in from the sudden cold for some hot chocolate. Yummm. I was hardly surprised that we collapsed while watching Finding Nemo. This time my mug was completely full.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
