Trans Siberian Orchestra

This past Friday, Shannon and I, joined by some friends and family, went to watch Trans Siberian Orchestra at the BOk Center!
We've been the past two years, but in Wichita. This time we didn't have to travel (but other's had to go further). It was fun. The show was pretty much the same, but still entertaining. The lights and lasers are fabulous as is the music. They played a lot from their new album after the Christmas show part. That was fun.


Andy, Jenette, Chris, Michelle, and Coleman all came down Friday evening to watch with us. That was nice, so see friends and family again! Michelle and Coleman had to leave early on Saturday for Michelle's going away party (she's studying in Europe next semester!!).


The remainder of us watched Zombieland at the dollar (fifty) theater. I really enjoyed the movie. It was just entertaining. Not trying to be all realistic and stupid funny and love-story based. Although there were glimpses of all three, the movie wasn't driven by any of them. Just fun. Shannon and I would definitely like to own that movie. Good zombie fun.

Andy left after that and dinner at Cafe Ted's. So, the four of us (Jenette, Chris, Shannon, and me) went to Old Navy (who has no maternity clothes... half the point for going) and Barnes and Noble. We bought Cranium Party Playoff. It was entertaining, but not fabulous. It was also only 25$, which is cheap for a game.


However, we also played Last Night on Earth: The Zombie Game. That was more fun (also more game-like, less party-like). Chris and Jenette played the heros and won on the very last turn. :) Good times.

Monday was basically just fooding and then saying bye to Nette and Chris. Shannon and I (some together, some not) cleaned, sewed, trimmed hedges (and cut the extension cord...I'm too careless), put up outdoor Christmas lights, and hung out. A nice weekend at home.

Nicole's Dance Updates

Recently Michelle and I have decided that we need to bring Jumpstyle to the world. It's an awesomely fun style of dancing that is pretty easy to learn, and looks neat when done with someone else. I would post a video, but really, the one Michelle has on her blog is really good. So, you can go look at it there. It's really fun!

But, I have second dancing passion that developed, well, today. It's probably been there all my life, and now its just coming into the light. I want to dance Thriller. Preferably with a large group of people dressed like zombies! Ah. And just the thing, Thrill the World. It does just that. It's awesome. Last year they had 1722 people around the world doing the dance at the same time. I am so pumped. Chances are they won't be in the town that I am living in, but I'm still excited!

Smash-ed.

In January of 2002, Shannon and I bought our desktop. At that time, we picked up on a deal for a printer for 1$. That printer was used for about 2 years. It would take a new sheet up paper, tilt it slightly, then proceed to print on the now crooked paper. Memories.

This week, we smashed it. It along with a scanner that we got from Newgen that worked about twice then just started to control itself. So the zombie electronics are dead. They had a mind of their own, and now their mind is smashed and in a the dumpster.

Zombunny

About 5 months ago I started to model some ogres into animated hulks for my Zombie Pirate army. As you can guess, I have not yet finished them. Well, they are modeled, but they are not completely painted. So, Shann's been painting lately and me too a little. I'm hoping to get them done in season (by Halloween). I'll post some pictures when they are more worthy of picturing.
