No news is good news

Well well well, its been a long time since I posted on this bastardly forum, and a lot has changed since. The only sound assumption that I can make is that my posting presence , in the past, acted as some sort of contraceptive for the Cournoyer Cuzzies and their spouses. In absence some sort of mutant virility has taken over the Cournoyer seed. I thus post before Molly, Kate, or even worse Grandma begin "showing." 'nuff said.

Otherwise, I was busy, am busy, and will be busy until January, what with intensive physics 5 days a week for 4.5 hours until Augy. Standardized testing, applications, and random scrambling for admission deadlines in the fall for Pharmacy school. I am taking the second most failed class at UW in the fall. I just did a half-ironman, have another one in july, then an ironman in september, and a marathon in october. So no exciting trips or nuthin' planned for a while.

Is Robby still a cousin? or is he out?

Finally, expecting cuzzies take care of your fertile gestating deer-women...and congrats

Where's Kate?

She's here somewhere. Can you find her?

Kyle is the Evil Lord of Jenga

Kyle & Dee Rentals

TOPS
The New World: Kyle loved it; no one else will.
The Good Girl: Classic Aniston. No, really, it's a tasty flick.
The Baxter: From The State players comes this funny romantic jabbadoo.
Good Night, & Good Luck: Worth about 95% of the hype.
Brokeback Mountain: Worth about 85% of the hype.
In America: But not a movie to watch with your pregnant wife.
Batman Begins: Terrific superhero movie. One of the best (but Dee found it boring).

MIDS
Three Extremes: Not all that extreme, but definately creepy.
The Constant Gardner: Decent. Surprisingly little momentum for a "political thriller".
Match Point: Woody Allen. English upper class. Murder. What more can I say.
Flightplan: Pretty damned predictable.
Wolf Creek: Great Aussie horror. Way too much like Texas Chainsaw Massacre to be "TOPS".

LOWS
Fantastic Four: Stopped watching after 20 minutes.
Derailed: Stopped watching after 30 minutes.
The Island: Eh... Ok premise, stupid filmmaking.

A bird bit me yesterday, it was the capper on a horrific day that included two separate subway trains breaking down, walking in the rain to work, getting jelly on my favorite shirt, and locking myself out of my apartment again.

My baby has really long arms and legs.
Oddly, I have gained 7 pounds since finding out I'm going to be a father.

Pants that zip off at the knee are the greatest invention ever, I'm thinking of taking it to the next level and making a shirt that zips off at the elbow.

I had a dream last night that all the cousins were at someone's wedding and we all got kicked out for being out-of-hand. Not that much of a stretch.

Michael Berg is my new favorite person:

Michael Berg, a pacifist who is running for Delaware's lone House seat on the Green Party ticket, said al-Zarqawi's death is likely to foster anti-American resentment among al-Qaida members who feel they have nothing left to lose.

Berg said the blame for most deaths in Iraq should be placed on President Bush, who he said is "more of a terrorist than Zarqawi."

"Zarqawi felt my son's breath on his hand as held the knife against his throat. Zarqawi had to look in his eyes when he did it," Berg added, pausing to collect himself. "George Bush sits there glassy-eyed in his office with pieces of paper and condemns people to death. That to me is a real terrorist."

On a lighter note, this is the 300th post on the cuzzin blog!!!! What do I win?

Hey thanks......

Well we were planning on telling everyone personally, but I guess the cats out of the bag. Yes we are having something but we're not going to tell anyone what is until it is born: Is it a smurf, shoe, gorilla, banana, snork??? We're just not going to tell you. If you would like to get us a gift please make sure its not homo sapien specific. Be well my fellow humanoids and pray for a prodgeny in the x-men, bionic man, jesus-type, superhero genre. The due date of the life form in Liz's belly is December 15th so we are going to run an actual delivery date pool for those interested, the winner gets a free stool sample.

mmmm, preggers

It seems we have another cousin baby on the way. I won't tell you whose it is, but will say that the person's name rhymes with "Splat", which also happens to be the baby's name I've been told.

question

anyone know maggie's email address?

My dog kicks ass

Actually he's a sissy but he's damn cool.

Happy belated birfday Moll.

I've been riding my bike to work lately and life is now better. Simple.
Oryx and Crake(margaret atwood)is a very good read.
A few additions to my shitlist: Sam Champion(local weatherman), Burger King Ad execs, Howie Mandel, Fedex, my brother-in-law, pedestrians.

Happy belated birfday Jerr.

Kyle and Dee congrats on your baby's sex, whatever it is?
