So stop me if you heard this one…

OK, kidding. Some of you may know that we recently switched to Mediacom and their VIP package. I don’t really like Mediacom but our neighbor works for them and hooked us up with a sweet deal: Video (with Showtime, Encore, and Starz added), Internet (their cable is way faster than Qwest DSL), and Phone. The sweet part of the deal is that we’re paying about $60 less per month than we were through Qwest. Sure, the DVR is a little buggy compared to DirecTV. And sure, we could save even more money by getting rid of all of it. But let’s be realistic here.

So some of you may notice a few changes around here. I installed a plugin to make it easier to share our blog with your friends. Just click the “Tell A Friend” link in the sidebar or beneath each post to share with your friends. Go ahead and share away!

Are you looking for some special plans with your significant other on Valentine’s Day?

Well, apparently a zoo in Michigan is charging $50 per couple for an event called Zoorotica.

From their website:

Experienced and unabashed staff will lead you on a tour exploring the sexual lives of animals. Biting, clawing, scratching and mid-air acrobatics, animals have a way of reproducing that can be beautiful and brutal at the same time! The love tour will end with hors d’oeuvres and a special DVD presentation. Each couple will receive a small gift to commemorate their experience! This is an adults only event and participants must be 21 years or older.

This all seems a little odd to me. What do you think?

So I’ve started watching the new show on Food Network titled “Will Work for Food” and he went to some place where he milked a cow. I’ve never done this before, but I think it would be cool to try. Does anyone know where I can go and bring my children and try milking a cow?

So, I’m a fan of Kelly Clarkson. I listen to her music on the radio, and it occupies some space on my iPod. One morning in clinic at Oaknoll I was singing Kelly Clarkson music. When it was announced that she was supposed to perform at Kinnick Stadium, I ordered tickets on the first day, before the were available to the general public.

So tonight, I heard the new song “My Life Would Suck Without You” and I really think it sucks. I don’t know what it is about it, but it most definitely will not enter my iPod rotation.
