Dad = Funny Chap

My dad is a funny chap. Over Christmas he mentioned that he needs a CD player and I told him he should buy a DVD player because that will also play CDs. Since he doesn’t have a whole stereo system, it made sense for him to just play his music through his stereo TV’s speakers until he bought a receiver and home theatre speakers. Now he’s talking about getting a 5 disc DVD changer this weekend. I can see where I get my “impulse buy but do tons of research in two days” mentality from. Secretly, I think it’s just a ploy to get me to visit him more often(!) Why? Because I got even more DVDs over Christmas, and am still player-less. I’m hoping to get a Playstation 2 but still haven’t actually seen any in stores. I’m getting very antsy. Looks like I’ll be lugging the Toy Story Ultimate Toybox set over to Dad’s this weekend.

Finally added michaelbrown to the links on the right. I’ve been enjoying Michael’s blog for several weeks now, and have even corresponded some with him. He’s an Austinite and we’re going to consume some alcohol when I’m there for SXSW. Michael’s writing is genuine and witty, and I’m looking forward to meeting him in person. Check out his blog and especially the pictures of his adorable little boy. Michael and Julien make fatherhood sound very enticing!
