Flight of the Concords Lip Sync Contest

I just want spread the word that on Jan 18th the 2nd season of Flight of the Conchords begins. In anticipation of the show they are having a lip syncing contest of their song "Hiphopopotams vs. Rhymenoceros." The contest submisions end Jan 25th.

Flight of the Conchords follows the trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band from New Zealand as they try to make a name for themselves in their adopted home of New York City. If you like the word "random", then you might really really really enjoy this bizzare show. Here is a little clip from the stand up folk parody band. Enjoy

So You Think You Can Dance

You might not want to be our friends after you see this video. That is just a warning. View at you own discretion. If you do watch this, we need you to do two things. First of all please know that we know we are lame and the video was mainly just to make us laugh at ourselves. Secondly, and more importantly we need you to post a comment and vote for who won the DANCE BATTLE: America vs. Brazil 2008
.
After a Christmas party, we had our "Friday Date Night". We decided to watch our newly deliver Netflix movie "Honey." Honey (Jessica Alba), is a "tough, sexy dancer from the inner city," becomes a successful music video choreographer, and ultimately decides to pursue her lifelong dream of opening her own dance studio for inner-city youths falls in love Bla Bla Bla. It's supper predictable. You know how it's going to end after the first five minutes of the movie, but we are lame and any movie or show with dancing in it I like and Silvia loves. We love; So You think you can dance, America Best Dance Crew, Stomp the Yard, Step Up, Step Up 2, How she Moves, Save the Last Dance, Dance with Me, and don't forget Breakin, and Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Anyways after the movie we decided to have a dance off, video taping our ridiculous dance moves. We created a backdrop and got thugged out. It was really funny seeing how we danced. It's like watching the bad outtakes of So You Think You Can Dance.

I Give Thanks for my Family

It's Monday and I don't want to Bill out to insurances companies right now so I'm going to Blog instead. That is the nice thing about working for yourself. You can totally slack and it's all good. We had a very fun Thanksgiving Day in Santa Cruz with our friends. We played in the annual Ward Spam Football Bowl, played soccer, and surfed. After working up an appetite friends came together at the O'Donovan's home for an smorgasbord of food. I made ginger bread with pumkin butter and Silvia made her amazing twice baked squash bowls.











The next day we meet The Eyre and Vassallo Family at Six Flags Marine World. The excitement was evident with Lexi peeing her pants as soon as we went through the gates. But no pee was going to slow us down. Before we knew it, we were riding Thomas the train, watching dolphins fly through the air, and hearing Mike puke after riding the roller coasters.

While Silvia was riding on the submarine ride with Lexi, Silvia whispered to Lexi "I'm scared" Lexi grabbed Silvia's hand and said, "Don't worry I'll protect you." In the middle of the ride Silvia said, "Lexi I'm scared." Lexi replied in a soft motherly voice, "Siiiiiliva don't forget what I said. . . . I'll protect you."

We spent the rest of the Thanksgiving weekend hanging in P-town with the rest of the Klan. I Love Family. We have so much fun together and those nieces and nephews are so dang funny. It's hard to get back to the normal grind.
