My Little CrockPot of News and Thoughts

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter. Mine was very merry. I'm still gorging myself on sugary confections and chocolate concoctions. Num num! The Jared and Amanda World Tour hit the road from a month long stint in Austin; our Destination: Mt. Pleasant. My brother and sister and her boyfriend came in for the weekend as well. It was a lot of fun. We went fishing (Casey, the boyfriend, my brother, and myself), rode horses, watched movies, ate, and other fun things. Later, we payed a visit to Amanda's family, which was a lot of fun as well. It was a great time. For the last month, I've been growing a beard. I really enjoyed the wooly warm it provided and had just gotten past the horrid period of time when it itches, when we arrived to our destination Thursday night. For some reason (which I don't know why) my sisters felt the need to crack "Fiddler on the Roof" jokes all weekend. Needless to say the beard came off soon after. ... Yaaay! The new trailer of Miyazaki's upcoming film Howl's Moving Castle ... Paul McCartney says he'd like to make an animated feature... that idea has potential, in my opinion. ... Looks as though ASIFA-Hollywood is hosting a 2-D Expo. Sometimes I wish I lived on the West Coast. ... I really enjoy the 10 Second Club. Someday I'm going to enter.
