1001 uses for a lightsaber

Not to be outdone by my Sister-in-Law Harmony (like any of you reading this don't know who Harmony is), here are some more uses for a lightsaber. As always, I cannot condone all of the suggested activities.



The big advantage of using a lightsaber, of course, is that you can both cut and toast the bagel in one stroke.

Hedge Trimming

Lighting a Cigarette

Sawing Through PVC Pipe

Reheating coffee

Serving Cake

Felling a Tree

And Now for Something Completely, Completely Different

JoLynn has set up her own blog (http://nateandjoplus2.blogspot.com/) where she'll post cute pictures and give all you in blogland useful updates about our family. This now frees my blog to be what I wanted it to be (not that I have anything against cute picture blogs). It can now be my forum to rant about things that frustrate me and review things that are awesome.

On that note did anyone catch the new Knight Rider? I tuned in out of nostalgia's sake. The original Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. I've since tuned into the re-runs and thought: "What was I thinking?" The Hoff deffinately deserves his Cheesiness rating. Over the years I've tuned into the various reincarnations of Knight Rider and have not been impressed (Knight Rider 2000 or Team Knight Rider anyone?) Needless to say I didn't tune into this version with a whole lot of expectations.

So I was astounded when the show didn't totally suck rocks! I don't think it's going to win any awards for best drama anytime soon. Nor do I think that I would tune in every week. But it wasn't that bad. As a bonus, the new KITT is a a black 550 HP Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang. Not bad, and definately an improvement over the old Firebird. Also, as a last minute replacement, they used Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT. He did a pretty good job.
