Almost everyday I’m convinced that Elise is a genius.

Here’s what she drew with crayons last Friday at 2 years and 2 months:

I think she meant to draw a happy face, but doesn't have that technique down yet.

She drew these and pointed at them and said Muno! Muno!

This is Muno from her favorite show Yo Gabba Gabba. See the resemblance?

Lupe Fiasco – I’m Beamin

“Thanks to Logan for giving me the heads up on this new Lupe Fiasco song. I think this song is dope”

Finally replaced our smashed up cooktop with this new one.

Learned about Sears Outlet stores (awesome) and picked it up refurbished but still in the box for 380 vs MSRP 680.

Some cool stats about the new cooktop –

  • it’s stainless steel so that it won’t shatter like the last one
  • it has a one huge burner that outputs the gas flame at 14,200 BTUs (the largest burner on the previous stove only output around 9,000 BTUs)
  • Kenmore was listed by Consumer Reports as the 2nd best in terms of repairs
  • all 4 burner grill covers are even height, so that you can move pots and pans around the cooktop without having to first pick them up and risk spilling

Just found this picture on my phone from last weekend.

I grilled some carne asada and pollo asado and they looked so good I had to take a moment to bust out my camera and take a picture first.

Here’s a series of short video clips on MTV paying tribute to Guru.

R.I.P. Guru

I just heard the news that Guru passed away yesterday of cancer.  He’s for sure at the top of my list when it comes to my favorite rappers and is one of the reasons why I even listen to Hip-Hop.

I was thinking about that time when Guru was robbed in front of his studio and decided to read up on that again… in the article, he mentioned that he wasn’t rich and never went platinum.  It’s weird how the world works, isn’t it?  How can an artist be so talented, so unique and so influential to a culture and so many people… but on paper, doesn’t come close to having the financial success of a group like Danity Kane?  That’s ass backwards if you ask me.
