Pleading for Lost stuff

If you don't want to hear about a grown man completely geeking out, ignore this post...

No one at my work watched Lost, so I'm hoping some of you out there can talk with me. Last night's episode was incredible. Three shootings. More castaway ties PLUS the commercial for the Hanso Organization. Check out the new website here. The phone number on the commercial was 877-HANSORG (pretty weird stuff).

On the website there are two places for passwords that will probably get more content. First is with the signup for the e-newsletter. I'm sure there's something you could enter that doesn't make it freak out. Second, is in the company listings for the board of directors. Anybody know what to do here? Someone said on one of the sites that they heard about a password on the phone number voice mail (can't remember what it is now) but I tried it in both places and it didn't work.

Anyway, this is one of the greatest shows ever and, even more impressive given my job, the most amazing marketing campaign EVER for a TV show.

80's (and some 90's) movies for kids

My kids are just the right age now to be introduced to a bunch of the stupid, fun movies I loved as a kid.

Here's our list so far:

• * The Last Starfighter (a little scary but they cheered at the end)
• Mighty Ducks
• Teen Wolf (and, sadly Teen Wolf, Too)
• Batteries Not Included
• ET
• Addams Family
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the trilogy)
• PeeWee's Big Adventure
• Ghostbusters

Still on my NetFlix que for them:

• Time Bandits
• Beethoven
• The Kid
• Hero at Large (I have no idea why I love this movie!)
• Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
• Gremlins
• The Ice Pirates (stupid, I know!)
• Crocodile Dundee
• Mannequin (yes, it's a kissy thing, but they might still laugh)

Any other suggestions?

Bach-ing it

That's not like Bach, the composer. It's bach, as in bachelor.
Tracy's in California with her dad, so me and the boys are on our own this week. We're missing mom, but it's kinda fun to just be boys sometimes. (although mom left a detailed two-page instruction manual to ensure I didn't screw up).

Other updates:
* Still don't have an air conditioner. I think they are pissed at me after the column in the paper (or else they read this blog).
* The boys are being amazing with mom gone. They are cleaning up after themselves and even got ready for school two days in a row without me having to wake them up! (And I even got into work early both days!)
* My Relay For Life team is coming together. Next year I'm just going to be a team member, though. It's a lot of work.
* Rented Fun with Dick and Jane the other night. Wow, was that just bad. I love Tea Leoni. Hard to believe they made this dreck, though.

Bye.
