1. The other night Warren and I were watching TV, and a 'Charmin' toilet paper commercial came on. It had those Charmin Bears, and they were mowing grass and clipping trees. Our conversation went like this:
W: Since when do bears do landscaping?
A: Hon, they're cartoon bears. They can do whatever they want.
W: Well, if I could do whatever I want, I sure as heck wouldn't be doing yard work.
2. I went to see 'The Wrestler' on the weekend. Aside from missing the first 15 minutes waiting in line for popcorn (I have my priorities people), I liked it. Wasn't quite what I was expecting - it's not a 'Rocky' comeback movie, that's for sure. And there was quite a lot of nudity (that could be good or bad I suppose). And there was one scene that was quite gruesome (again, good or bad, depending on your taste). But all of it rang very true - nothing was sugar coated. And Micky Rourke definitely fit the part of washed-up old wrestler, right down to the bleach blond hair and fake tan. He was a likable loser, and I enjoy those types of characters. Makes you rethink who deserves a second chance.
3. Tomorrow is my 1 Year Blog-Aversary with Cronin Chronicles. Since January 24th 2008, I have posted 88 times (including this one), which really doesn't sound all that impressive. That's an average of one post for every 4 days (roughly). Is my math right? Because when I put it that way, it doesn't sound too bad!
4. Since the world is a BUZZ with Obama fever, I will join in with my bit of Obama praise. But it won't be for the reasons you are expecting.
There is a little (well, not literally) American man who I'm not a big fan of. His name is Micheal Moore. I'm guessing his career is going to suffer soon, because how on earth will he be able to continue producing his anti-American propaganda movies now that The Messiah is in charge?
So, thank-you President Obama, for *hopefully* ruining the career of Michael Moore, at least for a few years. God Bless you and God Bless America.
5. Birthday pics from Open Sesame! Tiff - so sorry you couldn't make it. You were missed.
I'm 29 forever now peoples!

Happy Birthday again! Looks like you had a good time at dinner.
Based on your blog archive, I have to say you must have been blogging more frequently at the beginning of the year. ;-)
I agree with Shawna -- you must have been blogging every day in the beginning, since now we only hear from you once a week!! Suggestion for more blog entries: more of your conversations with Warren. You guys totally make me laugh!! (FYI, I definitely wouldn't do yardwork either, and I certainly wouldn't unload the dishwasher...)
Those bears are just weird all around...
I hope you had a fantastic birthday!!! And keep up the blogging!
Happy Belated Birthday and Happy Belated Blog-iversary too! I second what Keri said about the conversations - they are HIGHLY amusing.
