Since Christmas Jenn and I have been trying to pick up a Wii Fit. After I tried the game at my parents house I was convinced that it would be a good investment. With my new job and with my constant disregard to workout I thought what better to get me to work out then to invest in a video game. Will I continue my daily work out regiment? Who knows, what I do know is that Jenn is seriously into it.

I started my new job at Southern California Edison at the beginning of December and boy has it been a wild ride ever since. I really enjoy my new job but I got put in part of a project that was already missing key dates and was put on the team to help get back up to speed and finish the project. Well this week marks the definite due date of this project and the last few weeks has been full of some really long hours. This is the second 50+ hour work week which is fine but it means I really have to maximize my weekend and this past weekend I feel like I really did.

I have been using Wordpress for a while now, and I have gone through a lot of changes in design. I actually kept the last one the longest mostly because I just thought it was simple and easy, but it was time for a change. Today I introduced a new theme, and I hope people find it more functional and a little bit more streamline. The new theme is much more simple and to the point and I think going forward it will give me all the flexibility I will need for any sort of posts.

In my lifetime I have never seen such anticipation for a political event as the inauguration and address of Barack Obama. I for one did not vote for Obama, nor do I agree with a lot of what he stands for, but I to was eager to see how today was going to go. Having to work today made it a bit more difficult to watch but never the less we were allowed to stream the address to our computers, and that is exactly what I did. I think the whole process of having one president leave and another take office is really intriguing. I mean the fluid transition of power is really remarkable and is always thrilling to watch each and every time it happens.

What an up and down year 2008 was. I could have never predicted how this year turned out, but boy am I am glad to sit here today knowing what an amazing year it was. The year started like many in the past, knee deep in college, trying to make the final push to graduation. Becoming under the realization that "real life" was just around the corner. I remember getting the word from my academic adviser that I was on the road to graduate in June 2008 and I had still to make it through College Statistics and Calculus 2 to graduate to of my most hated classes.

So I was reading over at TVSquad.com an article about At the Movies the movie review show that took over for the highly respected Ebert and Roeper. Well for the past year or two it has been Roeper and a guest, but regardless we all knew there was going to be a chance. Then came At the Movies with  Ben Mankiewicz and Ben Lyons which takes on almost the same format as Ebert and Roeper just with a different rating scale. To me it seems like a lot of fans of Ebert and Roeper just weren't ready for a newer feel to the show, but for me I really like the Ben duo. I am not sure your supposed to be overjoyed by the reviewers but instead entertained and informed and that is why I still watch At the Movies.
