i may not ba able to post again before Christmas...so here it goes...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Of Chargers and Sideways

am i really the only one who called on San Diego Chargers going to the NFL PlayOff? Well yesterday they sealed the deal with a win over Cleveland Browns and captured the AFC West Division title as well. didn't i also say after they had their 4-0 streak that they can very well sweep their remaining schedule? but this coming game against the Indianapolis Colts will be the toughest one of the season. oh, how sweet would that be to end up with a 13-3 record after finishing 4-12 last year. i think this is a very potent team and will go deep into the playoffs, even to the AFC Championship game.

i saw Sideways last saturday and i highly recommend it. it's very funny and moving. it reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Swingers. Thomas Haden Church channels Vince Vaughn's character from Swingers while Paul Giamatti was the lovable, loser-type that Jon Favreau embodied in that movie. the backdrop of Southern California's wine country also plays beautifully in the movie. it's smartly written, witty, and full of excellent performances from the four main actors. Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh costar. Go see it.

and the SEX is...

are we going to have a son or a daughter? are you interested to know? we got the result of the amnio and that means we know the sex of the baby for sure. but first it's really good to know that the baby is perfectly healthy and sound. we're really getting excited about this. we have a projected delivery date of May 7th. on that day the stork is bringing a baby...

well, maybe that can wait. right now i just want to plug my new favorite show Project Runway on Bravo. last spring-summer, i was hooked on Blow-Out. it was fun to watch the ups and downs of the process of opening a hair salon in Beverly Hills. it was also a good management case study. this time, Project Runway features the creativity of aspiring fashion designers. these designers/contestants are given a weekly thematic challenge but they are faced with certain limitations of what materials they can use, or where they can get their materials. and of course just like in any competition, there are the mind games that the contestants play with each other. they've only aired 3 episodes so far and i'm telling you it's addicting. of course it also doesn't hurt that Heidi Kulm hosts.

i guess it's that time of year... when everyone announces "we're pregnant". i swear everyday i find out that somebody is pregnant. and today i heard a really surprising news about a certain someone. i just can't believe he is going to be a dad at that very young age. well, young or old...parenthood is both scary and exciting. so good luck to him, and good luck to us.

The Big News

Okay, so the cat is out of the bag.
Some people already know about it so I might as well put it here.
Kay and I are pregnant! She's on her 4th month and so far the pregnancy is doing well. We finally let it out of the bag after all the precautionary tests came in negative. We had to wait for that before we can start spreading the news.
Anyways...more on that later.
Gotta get back to work. My boss isn't paying me to blog, you know.
