The Narrative of Kurt & Becky

for those of you that didn’t hear, someone broke into my car and stole my stereo. Here are some pictures:

Now I’ve reverted back to the factory radio. Anyone want to buy a slightly-broken-into Honda Civic? I’m gunna buy a MINI. And we’re going to move. to safetown, ID (for those of you not familiar with safetown, there are no spiders, lizards, hooligans or shouting neighbors. It’s entirely shenanigan-free.)

Not at all recently, the Hollywood Video that Becky and I formerly frequented, closed down. Since then, we’ve gone without movie rentals. No longer! We signed up for Netflix. I looked at both Blockbuster online and Netflix, and through an entirely arbitrary and nonsensical set of trials (including casting lots), we fixed upon Netflix for our mail-dvd provider. It really was a simple decision because we can never do business with Blockbuster again. I’ll just say it involves us renting Tootsie.

Last week we received our first two movie-films: Becoming Jane and La Vie en Rose. We attempted to stagger our returns, so we wouldn’t be forced to wait for our next two movies, but so far we’ve failed. We’ll see how we do with the next batch. We currently have Eastern Promises and This is England.

This weekend my parents drove out in their green (both physically and environmentally) car to spend a weekend with us. On Friday we met them at Downtown Disney, listened to the UC Davis marching (read: dancing) band “perform” outside the Anaheim House of Blues. We ended up eating nearby at Tortilla Jo’s for dinner. We went into the Disneyland park and rode a number of enjoyable attractions, including, but not limited to: The Matterhorn, Big Thunder Mountain, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye. We also took the following photograph:

Right before the fireworks spectacular, we left. The next day, we returned to the resort, but started at Disney’s California Adventure. We had a good time, and we successfully convinced my parents to purchase annual passports so we can go whenever they come visit us.
