So today (or, I guess yesterday, since this is posted after midnight) was supposed to be the day that I did the whole contest drawing (hopey changey) thingey. But, honestly, my brother-in-law and nephew are in town for the week and today my nephew and I built a spaceship.
Uh-huh. A spaceship. So, yeah, we've been busy.
My nephew and I are in pre-production for the third movie in the "Awesome" trilogy. (I still need to post the second installment of the trilogy on this blog, but just in case you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about, here's the first installment.)
Today we took a trip to Ax-man Surplus to pick up some circuit boards and what-not (for the spaceship to fly, ya know) and some silver spray paint at Menards (to make the spaceship silvery and all). Because space ships have to be silvery, ya know.
In short, it's all worth it and the new movie is going to be epic (so much so that it may not be done for another year or so).
Anyway, because of my dereliction of duty, I'm extending the giveaway deadline a few more days. Look at this as your second chance to make a first impression (or at least more time to figure out why you are or are not vegan).
The new deadline is April 5th (Monday), which means I'll do the drawing on Tuesday (and post the winners either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning).
Don't worry, those candy bars are waiting patiently in my fridge (so as not to melt in our crazy March/April heat), and the books are waiting patiently on my bookshelf.

My brother-in-law and nephew visited from Colorado about a month ago.
So I talked with the kid about shooting a movie and we planned the scenes together, shot it in about an hour and then I edited it later on (took about 15 hours to edit ... free time that I don't necessarily have, but what the heck, it's family).
It's open for a sequel, and I'm thinking the next time they visit we can add Anna in as the super villain/evil genius.
I do hope Anna is in to stuff like this when she gets a bit older. I plan on this being the first of many home movies.
Anna watched this a few times and was unsure what to think of it. The last time we watched it, during the electricity part, she said, "I dreamed that in my bed!"
It was the first time she ever told us about a dream. I hope she's not traumatized.
