Lost in 8:15

If you're into lost and have missed an episode here or there, or if you think you might want to try to get into it in anticipation of the upcoming new episodes, then I suggest  you check this out on ITunes. It's call "Lost in 8:15" I personally give it the Erik seal of approval. What are you waiting for? Get downloading will ya!?

Little League World Series

I'm here in Williamsport working the vampire shift. I was awakened earlier this afternoon by a loud racket which turned out to be an intense thunder storm that dropped ice cube sized hail! Watch for my work! If you see Tony the Tiger and a funny little kid with goofy teeth touting how he is the "earn your stripes reporter" then that's something I've worked on. Check out the highlight from the Massachusetts vs Ohio game here.

The good old Hockey Game

A podcast with Hockey related music. I like the opening smashup of sound clips.

It's a Panda and Child's World

Since their first show in November, Erik and Panda and Child have been rocking their way into the hearts of the nation, or at least Tolland and Hartford counties.

I've been taking photos of their performances, but I'm really not good at indoor photography. I'm hoping they play outside on a sunny day soon. In the meantime, you can see my photos in the album and you can listen to some songs on MySpace.

They're taking a guest drummer on the road in August and looking to pick up some shows in Columbus, Chicago and Indianapolis. If you have any contacts out there, please get in touch with the band via MySpace.

And much love and many thanks to the friends who have been coming out to the shows!

Quote of the Day

"It was kind of scary 'cause I got bonked by the football. It kind of hurted."

-- 4-year-old Caden Thomas After getting trampled while not paying attention near the end zone of a Colorado State intra-squad game.

Cousintimes II: Attack of the Clones

Early this year, Erik escorted me and several of my female relatives to the Huke Lau for some Huke-oke. My cousins and I have the same ham gene, so we all enjoyed a very entertaining evening.

I've learned that it's difficult to take a really good photo of someone singing. Still, those are some cute cousins.

Give the photo a click to enlarge it.

You can see that Katie was still pregnant with babygirl, who should be picking up a microphone any day now.

Erik performed one of his standards, Turn the Page, but was disappointed when it wasn't his usual Metallica version but the much slower original. I actually made my public karaoke debut - my first attempt at it outside of our living room. It was a totally ridonkulous version of Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves. 

Thought for Today

"In most things success depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed." -- Charles Louis de Montesquieu, French philosopher (1689-1755).

They Like Him. They Really Like Him.

The 2006 Sports Emmy nominations have been announced, but it seems like last year's statues just arrived.

Erik was most surprised by how heavy the statues are. Well, I guess he was most surprised to find out that he had won two, but also there was the heaviness.

I can't get over how shiny they are. They seem to outshine everything even when it's dark. You can see how they dwarfed the meager autumn display on our mantle.

But they're so fun for posing...

...until someone tries to take yours away.
