Just got back from patrolling some of the nearby grocery stores for pre-cooked Thanksgiving dinner deals.  The winner:  Meijer.

For $30 I get a 12lb turkey, 4lbs of mashed potatoes, 2lbs of gravy, 1lb of cranberry salad and a dozen rolls.  I think there's some stuffing in there too, I forget but I guess I better look into that.  Anyway, that works for me.  By the time I got done buying roasting pans and everything else I would have needed I would have far exceeded the $30, so as long as its cooked well and tasty its all good.  I'll probably pick up a few other odds and ends, depending on what the kid wants,

I also extended an invite to Ed, our guitarist.  I was talking to Brian and I guess Ed doesn't have plans for Thanksgiving so I left him a message inviting him over for the day.  Its just me and the little guy, so its not like he'd be imposing.  Plus thats an awful lot of food I just ordered there, so someone has to help us eat it.

Brian gave me a call at work yesterday.  He had told us last time we got together that he found some places with open mic nights in our area, and I guess he went and checked the one place out last weekend and it was decent.  Its not far from me, maybe 25 minutes, and I think its Sunday nights.  He said it was pretty low-key, not many musicians (at least when he was there) and everyone else in the bar just doing their own thing.  He said it seemed pretty non-hostile, every song got a polite round of applause and there was no jeering.  So I'm going to call this place in a bit and find out what time it starts and head up there tomorrow night.  It will be my first time ever playing in front of people if I wind up going. 

Bri also said that if I did decide to go to let him know and he might try to get ahold of Ed and head up there and join me.  It would be like us playing out, in a sense.  I think these guys are trying hard to break me in, at least thats what it seems like, so I'm willing to give it a shot.  Well, most likely after downing a few shots. 

So we'll see how that goes.  If these guys meet me up there we can play through our songs just for kicks, and if I go it alone I can try to get in on some songs, hopefully they will play stuff I know.  If not, as long as they tell me the chords I can try to fake it.  I guess there was a lack of bass players there last time too.  I don't know if thats the norm or if it was just that night, but if things go well I might get some decent time in.  If I wind up going I'll blog how it went.

GO OSU!!!!!!!!!

Suck it Michigan.............................. Michigan = Epic Fail

So we did it, I signed up for the 8.99 a month netflix account because the Xbox 360 had it built-in for instant movie watching; I get one DVD (real) in the mail at a time which is good considering i've only seen like 3 movies last year, I dont need too many. We mostly got it for the kids, because they love watching movies over and over - they've already got four movies in the "Instant Queue" on the Xbox 360, all things they've never seen. They can watch them over and over as well because it just doesn't cost me a dime. I wonder if my Comcast "cap" will be reached with all this streaming.

Also, here is our latest drinking video, the Gobble-Tini!

So intead of Zombie killing with my clanmates (not that I didn't want to, I just couldnt get the game) I did Disc 2 for the P90X home fitness, the Plyometrics DVD.

OMG good.  They said it was one of the harder workouts and they weren't kidding.   It was 50+minutes of cardio slamming extreme explosive moves, mostly involving lunges, jumps and whatnots.   I built up more of a sweat with this DVD than I do when I do 45mins of eliptical cardio at the gym.   In a word it was awesome.   I managed to do maybe 1/3 of the activity they did on screen, mostly because i could not keep up no matter what I wanted and I was trying to maintain some semblence of form on exercises I have never seen before.

One thing I have learned, I need much better sneakers for this sort of thing. 

Today my arm is still wicked tight and stiff from DVD1 Thursday, I can't bend it enough to actually feed myself or shave, so those push ups kicked my ass severely.  On top of that I have a nice burn in my thighs and calves when I walk, which is good and I can feel some tightness in my chest from the build up of the previous workouts.

Tonight is Shoulders/Arms and the Abdominal DVD again...god help me.  I am not sure how much I will be able to do with my right arm this sore but I am going to at least try.

Feminists around the world have reacted with horror to a new line of lingerie that comes equipped with a GPS tracking system.

The ‘find me if you can’ range of underwear has been described as a modern-day, high-tech chastity belt.

‘It is outrageous to think that men can buy this, programme it and give it to their partners and then monitor them,’ said Claudia Burghart, leader of a Berlin feminist group.

‘It is nothing more than a chastity belt for insecure men.’

Lingerie maker Lucia Lorio of Brazil says her design targets the ‘modern, techno-savvy woman’.

The lingerie combination set consists of lace bodice, bikini bottom and faux pearl collar, with the GPS device nestled in the see-through part of the bodice next to the waist.

‘This collection… is a wink to women and a challenge to men because, even if she gives him the password to her GPS, she can always turn it off,’ Lorio said.

‘It’s not a modern chastity belt. Some men think they can keep tabs on their girlfriends with it, but they’re wrong,’ she added.

Unconcerned with the controversy her collection has raised, Lorio is also dismissive of the global financial crisis and its adverse impact on luxury items sales.

The GPS lingerie sells from a cool £500, complete with a standard Global Positioning System, to £700 with a more advanced model.

‘Some women are now interested in buying it for protection,’ she said, programming it for partners themselves so they are safe on a night out alone.

‘In London, New York, Rio de Janiero - wherever there is danger, the underwear may prove to be a lifesaver,’ she added.

But feminists in her homeland have called her a modern-day slaver and urged women to boycott the GPS underwear.

My wife had an ultrasound yesterday, and I got to tag along for this one.   We have a healthy baby girl on the way!  I am soo estatic, and relieved that we've been given the 'all-clear'.  Miss Hope Elizabeth Peterson will make her debut next April sometime.

Also, I'm participating in the art auction to help raise money for the site re-vamp.  I'm contributing a sketch of Batman and Daredevil.  Check out Batmankm's blog for more details.

You can view the pic here which is on 14x17 bristol sketch paper and done in pencil.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
