Richard & Misti's Blog

Well, come to find out, we missed the coda at the tail end of the X-Men 3 credits, but have since read about what we missed.

We visited François Payette Park (in Payette, of course) yesterday for a picnic, which would’ve been nice were it not for the swarms of gnats! They seemed to be immune to bug repellant spray to make matters worse. Crazy.
Here’s an interesting site: SpamOrHam.org. Read through Enron’s public record email! To be [...]

As far as audiovisual entertainment in the past few days, we enjoyed “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005; Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Christopher Lee) on VHS, and “X-Men 3: The Final Stand” (2006; Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Famke Janssen, Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Anna Paquin) at the Edwards Cinema in Nampa. [...]

Not a whole lot has been transpiring over the past few days, but there have been two notable exceptions: Brad is composing a festschrift (just to be able to use the word festschrift, of course), and I grabbed a dull chainsaw and helped saw up some tree branches at Doug Gonser’s place. That’s me, [...]

The following is a list of people I haven’t heard from in a million years (give or take). If your name is on the list, drop me a line!

I tried a Chef Jay’s Rage Extreme Peanut Butter protein bar on Friday, but I can’t say I was too impressed.   =(
We did, however, have a wonderful lunch yesterday at Quizno’s. I got the Roadhouse Ranch Salad and, mmmm, it was tasty!
I also got to watch about half of the 2006 [...]

We’ve viewed a few films lately, including “Oscar” (1991; Sylvester Stallone, Art LaFleur, Kurtwood Smith), the hilarious “50 First Dates” (2004; Drew Barrymore, Adam Sandler), and “Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous” (2005; Sandra Bullock, Regina King, Dolly Parton, Treat Williams). Fun stuff.
We enjoyed a wonderful supper at Shari’s Restaurant last night in [...]

Misti recently exhumed then replanted our two Dwarf English Boxwood shrubs after getting a truckload (literally) of fill dirt in the front yard. We think she’s allergic to dirt, however. Hmmmm.
The kids gratefully received some CD’s from Marilynn Miller yesterday, including a great Mozart CD for kids, entitled “Music for Children, Volume 2: [...]

Lots of digestive news today. First off, Becky enjoyed a nice Happy Meal, and instead of the stupid paper bag, they’re actually back to the much more satisfying cardboard box, which she had fun coloring. Plus, Happy Meals have a new website all of their own. Nice.
Secondly, I enjoyed the new McDonalds [...]

Have you seen the new 7-minute high quality “X-Men: The Last Stand” sneak peek yet?! Check it out. Wow!   =)

The Idaho Statesman ran a great article on geocaching the other day. Check it out.
Misti made the most wonderful dinner the other night, “Honeyed Chicken Teriyaki” (Great American Recipes, Group 5, Card 1). Mmmmm!
Oil Fight status report: I briefly enjoyed moving into the #14 slot, but was quickly bumped back to #15. [...]

I’ve attained the rank of #15 in Oil Fight over the weekend. It’s been a tough spot to retain, however, as the guys with whom I keep struggling are nearly as tenacious as I!
I tried out the WebExOne intranet app last week, but seeing as how it’s not compatible with Outlook 2003, it gets [...]

Randomness: I’m now ranked #17 in Oil Fight, and Dave has progressed to #27 now. Firefox 1.5.0.3 came out yesterday, fixing a security hole. Nice.
I added the blog entry titles to my blog template now, something that the RSS feed users have been enjoying for awhile. Now you can enjoy them, [...]
