First update in forever! Or, Family Reunion and Other Happenings.

So, the family reunion wasn't so bad. And it wasn't too hot outside, either - quite the opposite. It rained. A lot. And it was very windy. I got to see some old photographs of my mom, my great-grandparents, and a bunch of other people whose names I can't remember.

My computer monitor died a few days ago, so Dad hooked up the monitor from our old Hewlett Packard computer. The contrast has gone on it, so the colours come up very dark. You know those old NES games, with the bright oranges and blues, often on a black background? That's basically what my screen looks like. When I play FishVille on it, the orange fish seem to glow oddly, and my darker fish disappear. So, I go on my dad's computer when no one else is using it. I'm using it right now, because I wanted to feed my FishVille fish.

I watched Growing Up Twisted on A&E last night. It's like Gene Simmons' Family Jewels, only this time it's Dee Snider's family. Dee Snider, for those who don't know, is the frontman from Twisted Sister. The show is hilarious - Dee's sons, Cody and Shane, are a riot. Dee has another son, Jesse, who is a musician as well and was on a VH1 show called Rock the Cradle. I've blogged about the show before, as I was watching it on Much (a Canadian cable/satellite music channel, like VH1). Rock the Cradle was a reality show where children of musicians competed against each other. Some other kids of musicians were Crosby Loggins (son of Kenny Loggins), who won the competition; Lucy Walsh (daughter of Joe Walsh of the Eagles), and Chloe Lattanzi (daughter of Olivia Newton-John). I wasn't happy with the end result; I think Jesse should have won.

I watched a bit of And Now for Something Completely Different yesterday. So funny. "This is an EX-PARROT!"

Anyway, I can't think of anything else to say. Except that I'm hungry. I think I'll have a chicken salad sandwich...
