Can't Buy Me Luhhh-uuvv!

Rock Band: The Beatles has rekindled my relationship with the Fab Four. I put all their albums back on my iPod and... wow, the old digital masters really do sound thin, hollow and weak, especially compared to songs recorded in the last ten years or so. 

Oh, what? What's that you say? You say the newly re-mastered CDs recapture the warm, rich, vibrant sound of the original studio recordings? That it's like hearing them for the first time all over again? That it's like a choir of Liverpudlian angels descended from on high, took up arms with a Hofner bass and a Ludwig drum kit, and brought peace and harmony to the peoples of the world through the power of song?

Sounds good to me.

Hi! It's Dave. In the future, we'll buy everything over the Internet. Even games! Oh wait, we already do that now! Video game consoles have hard drives in them nowadays, just like computers. So you can buy games directly from the publisher over the Internet, and store them right inside your system.

The big upshot of this is that game makers can take chances on smaller, more experimental games that would be too risky to publish on a disc and sell in stores. I like this idea so much that my current hard drive is nearly full. Wanna help me out?

If you know anything about Jan, you know that she loves smelling stuff. One of my favorite smells is the "Sage and Citrus" scent of Yankee Candles. One of these bad boys would really stink up the house nice!

Re-Runs!

Last year, you gave me (Jan) some lovely bath butters and lotions. I used them all up this year, thats how much I loved them! I'd love some more body butter from The Body Shop

and I LOVED the Donna Karan "Cashmere Mist" Body Creme

Filter for Jan's camera

For my birthday this year, Dave and Jack gave me the best camera in the world, thanks guys! There is one thing that's missing though, and its the filter that protects the lens. Jack, Dave, I'm not sure what this piece is called or where you buy it, but I'd love to have one to keep the lens perfect!

We're Baaaaaaaack!

Hi family members! It was great to see everybody at Thanksgiving! There have been some requests for blog updates, so here we go. Christmas 2009, baby!!
