The Narrative of Kurt & Becky

We spent the evening watching a movie, cooking and eating bereakfast for dinner, and passing out candy to kids. There was only one kid whose costume I truly understood. She was a pretty princess. The other kids were either in such a large group that they were a blur or they were some character I didn’t know. It was fun. Pictures

I wish I could sit around home all day listening to this, surfing this page on the ‘tubes using this, wearing this, and eating this and this.  Instead I am this.

…More like Little People Big Mess. Dang their house is crazy disorganized. I mean even if they are remodeling, geesh clean up a tad.

The Cooke and Wagner nerdfest is going down in our living room right now. I am typing this on Kurt’s lappy plugged into our 42″ TV. Of course Rita and Vonnie got matchy twinsies lappy tops. So we are having fun times with computers. We’re super cool. Kurt only set up the laptop with the TV to show off something to do with WoW to Ken, but now I am enjoying it also by demonstrating our blog innards by special request. On one hand having a huge monitor is cool and makes me feel fancy. On the other, it reminds me of my Grandma’s old timey WebTV. Oh and sitting on the floor in front of the TV is prettynon-luxurious. Peace.

Kurt and I are watching Oprah. The episode is about a family murder, but really about forgiveness. What Kurt gleaned from the episode was using a laser microphone through glass for a prison interview, but what I gleaned was the desire to rip out Oprah’s earrings and take them for my own.

The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude.

We spent this past weekend lounging around the house and uploading a fantastical amount of photos to our Flickr page. Check ‘em out!

I’m still recovering from my interior-face surgery, but it’s going a good deal smoother that it was a few days ago.

I was pretty out of it the first few days, as you can tell:

Then I was pretty swollen, and had trouble sleeping though the night. Mostly because I was propped up to keep me from choking on my own blood and saliva.

I’ve been eating not much besides Cream of Wheat, Jell-O, pudding and protein shakes. Which means, I now realize, I’ve been a vegetarian for more than a week now. Yeah, I’m hungry.

What do James Lipton, Mama Cass Elliot, Jeremy Irons, Twiggy, Trisha Yearwood, Cheri Oteri, and Kurt Cooke have in common?

For those of you not in California, we passed a law a couple months ago banning the use of a hand-held mobile phone while driving. This is to encourage the use of a car-wide speaker system that connects to your phone, or a bluetooth headset. However, We’ve seen people holding the cell phone a few inches away from their faces, like that makes it okay:

Oh, we need a hands-free device now? well, how about I just don’t press it against my ear, that’ll be fine.

It’s a hands-free law, not a face-free law.

In personal news, I’m taking tomorrow and possibly the next day off work. I’m getting my wisdom teeth removed while under the effects of general anesthesia. Fun, huh? We’ve stocked up on pudding, jello and juice for my eating comfort. I’ve never been unconscious before, but then again I’ve never had my wisdom teeth removed, so here’s to new experiences.
