Hey guys
After bustin some chops last night all of the cabinets are now IN; all that is left for the big stuff is the counter tops, sink, and the floor. the other stuff includes the pantry door replacement and the back splash, if we want one. Pics will be posted soon :D
Chris and Nicole got a small cold last weekend, and they are coming off of it now, I hope (crosses fingers).
WOW is slowing down a tad - mainly because everyone is so busy; we hope to get the Sunday night thing back this Sunday, so that will be nice again :D
...and a last but not least note: Fantasy football season is getting ready to start! Get your notepads ready, the draft is only 3 weeks away! I haven't done squat yet, but will make up for it in CA on a trip for work over the last week of the month.
Ok - mom is visiting this weekend :) Have a fun one!

Its official - XBOX ROCKS!
Hey gang,
Some quick hits -
Kitchen is going good - check out the photo gallery in the links section to the right side for some pics.
Chris is almost 10 months old! He is so funny and awesome :D I could not be more proud of my family with a loving wife and wonderful son.
and XBOX ROCKS! Lets summarize
+ Netflix on xbox
+ download games to HDD and not run the DVD drive every time
+ New menus
+ Cheaper price.. and if my xbox happens to break after they run out of the 20GB versions, the only other ones are the 60gb and the 120gb versions... darn.
Datails below:
"The second year of the pared down E3 Business and Media Summit in L.A. kicked off this week with Microsoft making some big announcements for the Xbox 360. Microsoft announced a new partnership with Netflix that allows the Xbox 360 to stream movies and TV shows from Netflix directly to your TV.
The new service is designed to complement the existing Xbox Live Video Marketplace says Kotaku, not replace it. One of the best features of the Netflix streaming service is that Xbox 360 owners who already subscribe to Netflix and have an Xbox LIVE Gold account will pay nothing more for the service
The Xbox 360 will get the ability to play games from the hard drive. That means players can rip disc-based games to the hard drive, the catch is that the original game disc has to be in the drive to play them. That means the only benefit is that the games are said to load faster."

July is here and its been busy
Hey all,
Just a quick update about the business of the day:
SCHOOL- three night a week this quarter with a mon/wed class and a Tue class. ECEC 304 is programming a robot car to do stuff and so far its been good - and Modulation, which has the instructor that never updates the website, forgot the deadline of last quarters grade(still 3 weeks old) but seems to be a good instructor- the modulation is his area so this is a good thing. Its been busy and makes for a very long week - to top it off aside from the homework and future quizes/tests there is the other big thing...
HOME- So far, its coming together nicely, but its time to bust some chops. We primed the kitchen this Sunday and we are ready to paint this coming weekend. Nicole will be taking Chris to her moms house Thursday night and Friday when the 2nd coat goes on, we will head down to the shore when everything is cleaned up including me :P. The cabinets are done and will be sent to the delivery guy this week, which means we are still on schedule. I hope to be in business by the end of July with a complete Kitchen :D
WOW- So far things are good- Hit 60 with the priest and we PVPd for the epic wolf mount, since we didnt want the fast chicken..
Oh, and this game was announced: DIABLO 3 Announced! MAKE Sure you check out the gameplay video on the right side - wicked cool.
Details: Diablo® III Unveiled!
Twenty years have passed since the cataclysmic events of Diablo® II. Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal have been defeated, but the Worldstone, which once shielded the world of Sanctuary from the forces of both the High Heavens and the Burning Hells, has been destroyed, and evil once again stirs in Tristram....
Following the unveiling of Diablo III today at the Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational, we've launched the game's official website, with information about the places, characters, monsters, and adventures awaiting you upon your return to the world of Sanctuary. Some of the site's highlights include:
* The cinematic teaser trailer shown at the 2008 Worldwide Invitational
* A 20-minute gameplay demo video
* More than 60 screenshots and pieces of concept art
* Deckard Cain's journal, narrated by Deckard Cain himself -- stay a while and listen!
* And much, much more
Visit the new Diablo III website now to learn more about the game, and make sure to check out the official FAQ and the announcement press release.
WOOT! CANNOT WAIT!
Aside from all that, that's about it! played some xbox in BF bad company and its fun. Carlos and I get in a squad and go wreck some havoc with tanks and jeeps... lots of fun...
