Early Birthday Present

The first post in quite a while I know. Truth be told, I'm not a very exciting guy. (Don't tell anyone.) You could have expected a post when I got back from the coast because we got to go to Monterey and to conference and my birthday, but you get an extra treat because I was surprised with an early birthday present last night. Taa Daaa! I got a Shuffle!!!!! I am firmly convinced that the iPod is an amazing machine. They are far superior to other music players. Since Lauri's Pod was recharging, I used a Mp3/Cd player (a thing that played CD's with Mp3's on them) and I stuck the big old thing in my cargo pocket on my shorts and the big ole headphones. I was stylin' let me tell you. It's sooo great! Here's a picture:
I haven't listened to it yet but I'll have it for the ten hour drive to the coast.
Did any of you know that Dr. Pepper changed their logo? It looks pretty cool.
In other news we watched Temple of Doom today. I was expecting a little gross and nasty but other than that a good flick. What others had not told us was that this was one of the lamest movies this side of Time Bandits. It was awful. Horribly, horribly lame, corny, and just poorly done. What were Steven and George thinking? I'm ashamed of them. Here are some reviews from others in the family:
"On a scale from 1 to 10, it'd be hard to bring this one above a two." Dad
"Whew." Mom
"How much longer is it?" Lauri
I would not recommend this movie or even watch it again. It is amazing that Raiders and The Last Crusade were such great movies and this one was a bomb.
Another news, only three more sleeps 'til the coast!!!!!! Yay! It'll be great. I have probably twenty geocaches in the areas that we'll be in. We're planning on doing some caches with our friends from conference on the Friday after conference ends, my birthday. In sadder news, I have to drive some of the way to the coast and driving is almost as bad as the Temple of Doom. Almost.
