How Fun Is This?

I'm no dance expert. Heck, I wouldn't even call myself a dance fan. For me, my interest in dancing has been about equal with that of knitting.

So when I say that I really enjoyed Dancing with the Stars at the Palace of Auburn Hills last night, it carries some weight.

It wasn't seeing sleeveless Joey Lawrence's perspiring bald head. It wasn't hearing Joey McIntyre's crooning of songs from his new album. It wasn't even Edita's long, motion-blurred legs. It was just a lot of fun watching people having fun dancing their hearts out.

Obviously, pictures can't do it justice. Especially pictures taken by me. Even so, feel free to check out my Flickr gallery and let me know what you think.

I think this may have to become a yearly event for us.

Stars. Dancing. With them.

I expect tomorrow night to be the kitschiest, most elegant night of my life. Yes, my wife and I are going to see Dancing with the Stars – the Show. I'll try to give a full report afterward.

It's Official...Finally

Mitt Romney has filed papers to officially declare candidacy for the 2008 presidential bid. Suck it, McCain!

A Game for Cat Lovers

This is about the millionth variation of a see-how-far-you-can-launch-the-cute-animal game, but somehow it retains its appeal--despite (or because of) the fact that I like cats. Anyway, if you want to give it a try (and attempt to beat my mighty 1,629 feet), go here.

I suppose until you're at least five, few things are scarier than Santa Claus. It was no exception for my 1.5-year old.

Hi, I'm a Mac, and I've Wandered Into Die Hard 4

I've never bought into the whole Die Hard movie concept, and this trailer only solidifies my opinion of the franchise. But what's even funnier is that Bruce Willis' sidekick is played by Justin Long, famous for personifying the Apple Macintosh computer in the famous ad campaign. Recently, Long ditched the advertising world to foray into the film genre. And by the looks of this film, it could be the worst career move he'll ever make.

Suggestion: Go back to peddling "cool," and leave the worthwhile activities/movies to the PC people.
