For all of you who complain I never let you know what's up... I'll be in Houston for two weeks beginning Friday, August 25 through Sunday, September 10. Ostensibly, it's for the birth of my first child, but it's likely I will make excuses enough to see a good many of you while I am there... :-)
13th Warrior is a great movie. Tiga's debut album, the aptly titled Sexor, is awesome. You will not appreciate it at first listen, ye, with your plebian tastes, but once enlightenment filters into your soul, you will recognize the angels singing.
The best thing about this trip to Houston was how Jolie would reach over to stick Darklands into the cassette player. Something about that album makes everything okay.
This was definitely one of the best trips to Houston, we've had in a long time. I ended up with an extra day that took the edge off and let us relax a bit. And, lucky enough, it was an Underworld weekend, so we got to go out and say hi to all the old school peeps. Of course, we didn't have nearly enough time to visit with everyone, but ti was good to at least see them, collect our hugs, and generally step inside numbers.
Amy even got us to dance, and anyone that can get an 8-month pregnant Jolie to dance to two songs in a row is a genius. (The secret? "Under the milky way" and "Cuts you up").
We saw Carmina, Shonna, Dana, Jason, Samantha's Amy (though I lost her and couldn't say hi), Moses, Vampire James, HIdeous Jeff, Punk Rock Jeff, Hacker Jeff, Frankie, Matt, Nicole, Corbin, Gareth, and Vanessa. It was awesome.
We also got some good bonding time in with Roy and Renee, Jolie's parents, and my mom. Jolie even got to talk to my sisters some.
It was hard leaving Jolie in Houston. I have this everpresent fear that she'll drop inti precipitous labor and have the baby when I'm not there. That would really suck. This morning, cuddling with her before I left, I felt Aiden pressing on her belly. He was being gentle this morning. I think he was trying to be nice. I hope he heard me say "bye".
