Damn it, Jim.

I'm not even a Trekky but a quick glance at the cast of the upcoming Star Trek how-it-all-started Pic has got me all excited. I'm pretty stoked on who they picked to play young versions of everybody. Check it out:
Kirk:

Spock:

Scotty:

Sulu:

Lt. Uhura:

Chekov:

McCoy:


I mean come on! This is going to rule!


P.S. The day after tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just because

A blog post a la Eric:

I was present for this performance. Uh-Mazing.

Oh Cruel Fate!!!

Just in time for me to leave the state. This and this are happening.

I should have given money to that bum.

Finally.

FIVE DAYS!!!
CAN'T WAIT!!!


I just put a ton of pics on holyoak.net. I can't do all that again. Check them out. Disneyland. New House. Zoo. Easter.

Community of Christ's Temple in Independence Missouri.  Very Interesting. 

The gas station guy did not think this was as funny as I did. 

Lucie with sunroof closed.

Lucie with sunroof open.

Bear and Bear.  
For Gar.  

Lucie "enjoying" a lemon from mommy.

Mmm...delicious!

Loves to drive.  With chocolate smeared all over her face. 

Greatest invention ever.

WTF?

Be careful not to allow primordial dwarves into the restroom with you.  

Free cookie at King Soopers.


Everything is miniature.  Or Lucie is humongous. 

The Morning Breaks...

Still so many pics to post, but I have a paper to finish. Take these two tasty tidbits to tantalize till then. (dang, I'm good)

When the levee breaks

"Looks like I quit the wrong week to quit amphetamines."
 
Good thing I'm not moving here. Oh wait...
 
 
So, I've had a continued stream of bad dreams.  The other night, before going to sleep, my cats were being annoying and I made some heartless comment about not caring whether they lived or died.  I was paid back by dreaming that night that both of my cats were about half of their normal size, and they were suddenly having the unfortunate predicament that their intestines were being extruded out of their bodies.  I tried to put them out of their misery by folding them into a hankerchief and stepping on them, kind of like that wine glass at Jewish weddings, but they wouldn't die.  Then I just tried to get them out of the house but they were determined to stay in the house and die before my very eyes.  I finally got them out but when they came back in they were normal size, covered in mange and were spraying water out of the sides of their bodies like so many holes in a dam.  Yuck.  Ever since that dream I've been really nice to my kitty-meows.  I experienced "a Christmas Carol" in microcosm. 
 
I also dreamt that my house was huge and the top floor was open to the outside world but it was still dark because the outside world consisted of the canopy of a large rain forest.  There were many large and scary non-rainforesty animals (bears, weasels) trying to make their way into my house.  It was spooky. 
 
Yesterday one of our patients, when she was told that we were going to start a new medication, asked if it "would make me cramp up again?"  Somehow my chief heard and repeated aloud, "God bless your grampa???"  I immediately fell into the screaming meemies and nearly had to leave the room.

The Trip

Just a sample of the posts to come:

This is what Disneyland does to poor innocent toddlers. It's a sad moment when you realize that you are having much more fun than your children at Disneyland. But it was a great trip. Much, much more to follow.

Like this:

Name that movie and the appropriate narration for 5 points.

Ok, no more!

at the cusp

T-minus 11 hours 18 minutes to vacation.

Call me a goofy little boy, but this gets me all excited.

CoMo and D-Land: here I come!!!

P.S. I feel a bit guilty, but I'm so excited for Vegas I think about that weekend more than my whole next week off. {:^D

Delayed Gratification

How many non-software developers watched Apple's iphone software developing announcement today? At least one. And let me tell you, it was worth it. All you haterz out there can watch the part about epocrates for the iPhone and have their minds blown clean off. Of course it won't be available 'til June, but I'm as stoked as a nerd can be. Someone pointed out today that people with red hair and glasses like mine are legally required to use a mac. I heartily agree. I'm working on a soul patch to complete the uniform. Right now it's more of a soul fragment. Pics to follow when it's more respectable.

Sacrilege!

It's Brilliant. Wow.

Seriously.

at zeh zoo

La-La and (t)Ed visited this week! It was awesome. Behold:

Ted showed us where South Park originated. (Look closely)


No explanation needed.


Lucie quite enjoyed their visit as well. So glad you guys came! We saw more movies in the theater with you guys than in the 8 months prior.

And now...
It seems like all I ever do is post zoo pictures up here. But it was 74 degrees in Denver on Saturday (no joke) so we figured we better get out and enjoy it a bit. Especially because the VERY NEXT DAY it looked like this:

My inner doppler radar has whiplash.

Anywho, here are some of the pics from our glorious day at the Denver Zoo.

The king of the forest. 

Le roi des forets.  
Lucie had no fear, even when he came right up to the glass. 

Lucie doing her best lion roar. 

Now she looks like lunch.

Restrained in her stroller, she was not a fan. 

Sea lion basking in the glorious March 1st weather. 

A yak!  How many times have I referenced yaks in my life?!?  Finally I get to see one for realsies.  Actually, I've probably seen them before but just filed them under "bull/bison" and paid little attention to them.

For gar's past lives: Rhino.  (btw gar: your new nickname is Ry-sauce.  Ask lar.)

He's not only the president of the hair club for male condors...

The stroller is getting to her...

She's got stroller madness!
Can you see her losing her mind?

Wow, somebody start singing "proud to be an american," quick. 

This one is for our Missouri Christmas card so they don't think we're terrorists.  Actually, the eagle is caged, so they'll think we definitely ARE terrorists. 

Ok, this picture sucks, but there is a reason.  Before I could get my camera out, lucie stood up against the glass and this crazy monkey/ape came running towards her and banged on the glass and shrieked right in her face!!!  It was nuts!  She freaked out a bit, but didn't cry.  She just backed up like 2 inches and kind of screamed back.  I rescued her in a fatherly manner and snapped this crap photo on the way out.  It was awesome.  

My all time favorite animal at any zoo.  When I win the lottery and lose my mind I will have a house full of these guys.  And lots of poop.


Name that movie:
"What's the fastest land animal?"
"The Cheetah.  Next?"


P.S. T-minus 25 days and counting until this:


Err...I mean, this:
