New Poll

There is a new poll located on the right side of this page. The previous poll has closed and the winner was Diet Pepsi over Coke, Diet Coke, and Pepsi. The new poll is all about cars. I hope everyone votes!

Yet Another Crazy View Moment

Thank you, Sherri!

The Upcoming TV Season

Our DVR is going to be going nuts with the upcoming TV season. In addition to the shows we already watch (Regis and Kelly, Ellen, E! News, Nancy Grace, The Soup, Best Week Ever, Samantha Brown and lots of home shopping) it is going to get packed with all the new episodes. Our current plan is to watch the following shows: The Office, Desperate Housewives, LOST (not till February booo), Pushing Up Daisies, American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, Survivor: China, The Amazing Race, Project Runway, and probably a lot of other stuff I can't think of right now. The point is that our DVR is going to be busting at the seams!! I think that we should get another DVR. One of the perks of homeschooling is lots of time to watch tv...but it is a curse for the DVR.

P.S. If someone reading this does not have a DVR or Tivo or a similar device, go get one right now. Seriously, get in the car and go buy one right now.

P.P.S. Comcast is a stupid name. I miss Time Warner.

24

We finished season 5 and are now watching season 1 of 24 (we started with season 2...). Season 6 does not come out on dvd for a while. I am hoping that season 1 will be able to give us enough of a fix so we don't have to resort to buying the entire 6th season on iTunes.

Meowlingual

Do you remember the dog translator that was all the rage for about 10 minutes a few years ago? The Nut House does! Well, now we can understand our cats with the new Meowlingual Cat Translation Device!!! It is $75 and I can't wait to get one! I will finally be able to understand what Billy Bob is saying to me! I am thinking he is always saying "Foods! Give me foods!!" I guess now I will find out! Btw, if anyone is in doubt about what to get me (John) for Christmas this year...Meowlingual, please.

More Like HumbertNO-SHOW

At The Nut House we were preparing ourselves for another Alison yesterday when we heard that tropical storm, now hurricane, Humberto was going to come for us. Sue even went to HEB and stocked up on food! Well...nothing happened...we got nothing...not even a drizzle of rain. Today it is actually a little bit sunny. We are a little disappointed! We were wanting a little excitement. It has been pretty boring in the huge news stories lately. And we wanted to keep our sprinklers off for another week. But oh well...I am guessing we will get our huge news story pretty soon with the 6 nuclear bombs missing in this country and Russia's new "Father of all Bombs"...

No Words Can Describe It

No words can describe what I am feeling right now...and in case you are thinking "oh! John is in love! How nice!"...forget it...I just saw some pictures of the next version of my current phone (The VX9900 aka the enV). It is called the VX10000. The first day I bought my current phone back in December, I thought it was perfect. I knew that there would be a VX10000 just out of common sense. I now see how LG has managed to perfect perfection.

I almost broke down into tears when I saw these pictures. It is exactly what I have been wanting in a phone. It is so magnificent, so expensive looking (yes I am that shallow), and so perfect. I must have it. Here are the pictures.

Apple Event Today

I (John) am very excited today! Today is the big Apple press event that is very likely going to announce new iPods!!! Like I have said in the past, if new iPods are announced my current one will be put up for sale on my Amazon store.

24

So we finished the fourth season of 24 over the holiday weekend. We could not wait for our Netflix so we had to buy the end of the season on iTunes. Season four was, like all seasons of 24, amazing. We had season five next on our Netflix queue...but could not wait for the first disc to arrive. So we bought the first four episodes on iTunes. We are addicted. We need to go to 24 Addicts Anonymous. Anywhoo, season five is so far the most amazing yet. Seriously, everyone reading this right now go start watching 24. I cannot express just how amazing it is!

So after we have watched all the 24 there is on dvd to watch, what should we watch next? What should our new obsession be until LOST comes back in February? Please write a comment with a suggestion for The Nut House. It would be greatly appreciated!

Apple Stock

Apple stock did tremendously well today! It closed at $144.18 +5.70!! At The Nut House, we are extatic! The large rise today is based on reports saying that the iPhone was the top selling phone in July beating out all smart phones. The Blackberry bush is wilting.

Global Warming

I (John) made this video many months ago. I just posted it on youtube. Enjoy!

Sonic Ice

At The Nut House we love Sonic ice. It is the best ice around. If you are reading this and have never been to a Sonic or have never tried their ice go and try it now! Its the best.

Jealousy

Early this morning Lizzie was rather mean to Billy Bob.

Ever since we adopted Lizzie, Billy Bob and Joey's relationship has been really weak. Joey spends most of his time with Lizzie (she gives him baths) and when Billy Bob tries to be affectionate to Joey he usually walks away.

This morning was rare because Joey did not walk away. He was laying down on the floor and Billy Bob came over, laid down with joey at an angle, and was being really nice to Joey and was giving him some love. Then, Lizzie spotted them and quickly came over and got in between them. Billy Bob then walked away. At The Nut House, we feel really bad for Billy Bob. All he wants is to love Joey and be friends with him like old times.

Joey Update #3

Joey is back home! He came home Thursday after a full day at the animal clinic. They did a bunch of x-rays and the nurses said he slept the whole time. It turns out that he has a bunch of torn ligaments around his knees. So there is not much holding his legs together. He also has lost a ton of muscle mass in his legs. They think that the leg problems led to the arthritis. I am not sure where we go from here with him, but I will continue to update the blog with info about Joey's health. Please send your good thoughts in his direction.
