Hello all! Welcome to the Valentine’s Day Edition of World Wide Wood!
I would like to wish a happy Valentine’s Day to my wonderful wife Rebecca. We have been together for two years and five months, and we have been married for just under four of those months. Every minute continues to be better than the one before, and I can’t think of any more wonderful person to spend my life with. What a wonderful deal, to spend the rest of one’s life with one’s best friend.
To My Becky, With Love.
I was tempted to make this entry twice…thereby making it a ‘twin update’, but I restrained myself 🙂
I found out complete names and I thought I’d pass them on… Thomas Winthrop Lowe Jr. and Christopher Reyes Lowe. nice.
Well, the Lowe family has some exciting news this evening. My aunt Gabi gave birth this evening to two healthy baby boys. Now my Grandpa has five grandchildren… four boys and one girl (that’s me!).
The new additions are named Thomas Winthrop Lowe Jr. and Christopher ?? Lowe. I can’t wait to meet them. The babies and momma are doing just fine.
If you were following my old blog, you may remember that I recently upgraded my J700 into a tricked-out S900. Well, I’ve sold some of the J700’s remaining parts, but before I sent them off, I decided to document them and make a little gallery of the transplanting of the J700 into the S900:
I’ve discovered quite an interesting picture of me on Corey’s page:
This is a couple days old, but I figured I’d report it here in case you had not heard. Benjamin Curtis (aka Dell Dude “Steven”) was arrested on Sunday on criminal possession of marijuana. He’s been released, and is being given a year to stay on good behavior. They’ll dismiss the case if he stays clean for the year.
Story is here on CNN:
A few bumper stickers I’ve seen recently:
“My cat is smarter than your honor student.”
“The more people I meet, the more I love my cat.”
And from the schtick of “Joe Millionaire” to fine Russian cinema, we bring you Russian Ark. Russian Ark is being released in art cinemas around the US right now. It is the story of a contemporary filmmaker who jumps back 300 years into Russia’s past, and finds himself invisible and able to observe historical events unnoticed. What is amazing about this film is that it was shot in one single continuous shot, and that it was done in one single take. It took months of rehearsal, mounds of Russian ingenuity, and the design of a special hard drive for a digital video camera in order to pull off this feat. Wow!
I am kind of ashamed to admit it, but we have been faithfully watching Fox’s “Joe Millionaire”. It comes along in a long line of sleazy shows provided by this prestigious station.
Anyhoo, soon ‘Joe’ will choose between two finalist girls… but then he must tell them that he’s been lying about being a millionaire, blah, blah, blah.
In my humble opinion the only good reason to watch is the super adorable Butler that ‘hosts’ the show. Too Much! Otherwise, each episode has been filled with snooty girls, tight clothes, lies, deception, and other displays of dispicable behavior.
Sadly, non of the above will keep us from tuning in next week to find out how it all ends… ahhh, popular culture!
I fixed the error in the Bridal Party movie… sorry Kirsten!
