  • Deftones

    Today we went to watch Deftones perform. It’s probably been 15 years since the last time I’ve seen them live. They sounded great, and we had a great time! Looking forward to a new album this year!

  • Opry Mills

    Opry Mills

    Today I went to Opry Mills Mall with my son, who drove. He wants to be able to drive there on his own, so we are practicing the route. He bought some clothes from Tilly’s, Bass Pro, and Hollister. We also went to eat lunch at the German Restaurant, Bavarian Bierhaus. We had a great…

  • The Substance

    The Substance

    Today I watched the movie The Substance. It was a pretty good SciFi horror movie, I enjoyed it! It was very strange, lots of nudity, lots of grotesque imagery that was hard to look at, lots of blood, and a little humor. 5 bags of popcorn.

  • Joshua Tree National Park

    Today we went to Joshua Tree National Park, located about an hour away from Palm Springs, CA. We went on a private tour to see an old ranch (Key’s Ranch), hiked on a trail, and saw road side attractions. The weather was a little chilly, but it was a really nice day.

  • Palm Springs

  • Flaming Lips

    Flaming Lips

    Today we’re driving to Indianapolis to see the band The Flaming Lips perform Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. They’re one of my family’s favorite bands, and this is an anniversary of my favorite album of theirs.

  • 50th Wedding Anniversary

    Today is my parents’ 50th Wedding Anniversary! We’re going to Huntsville to celebrate with them and their friends!

    My boy got a job! Had his first day last night and it went well. I’m glad for him. He will make some money, but I’m mostly excited for the things he will learn from the experience.

  • Knoxville Birthday

    Knoxville Birthday

    Today we’re going to Knoxville to visit my Father-in-law for his birthday. It was actually a couple weeks ago, but we had to reschedule.

  • The Contestant

    The Contestant

    Today we watched the documentary, The Contestant. I think we all really enjoyed it. The movie takes place in late 1990s Japan. There was a very “Truman”-like TV show on Japan at the time called A Life in Prizes. The movie was about a young Japanese comedian, named Nasubi. Which is apparently the name for…
