Mother's Day Dinner

After we saw Baby Mittleider, we all went out to a placed called Anchos out in Corona. There were several mothers in our party, including my sister-in-law and my Mom so we celebrated Mother's Day a day early. It was a lot of fun as I rarely get to hang out with Lora's (sister in law) family and they are such a fun group of people. It was a long but fun day.

Baby Mittleider

Check it this out.. technology has come such a long ways. Today my brother and sister-in-law went a place where they do 3D imaging of your unborn child. It's amazing stuff... there were about 15 of us sitting in this room looking a huge TV screen as they did the 3D ultrasound on my sister in law. It was a very cool experience.

She still has two months to go but we got a sneak peek at Kenobi Michael Mittleider or Michael Kenobi Mittleider (they haven't decided yet.)

Good News

The wire transfer is happening, Harry's family has stated the process in Austria and the money should be in my bank account by the end of the next week. Once that has happened we can continue to search for our house.

More good news... I looked up the house that we really liked but couldn't make an offer on and it's still active, which means they haven't accepted the offer yet and sale is not pending... let's just hope it holds out long enough until we get the funds so we can make an counter offer they can't refuse.

Will keep you posted.

New Star Trek

Today they are pre-releasing the new Star Trek at 7:00pm. I have many friends who are uber excited and already got their tickets and will be watching it tonight. I on the other hand am not uber excited and haven't been. It's strange as I consider myself a huge geeky trekkie but I just can't get super excited for this film. If this movie was a sequel with TNG, DS9 or Voyager crew then I would be super excited and first in line.. but it's not. Yes I have seen the preview and it looks like a fun movie but I can't consider it Star Trek, at least not the Star Trek that I grew up with and loved.

Of course I'll see it opening weekend (hopefully Sunday) and I'll hold off judgement until after I see it. And except that I'll love it but not as a continuation of my beloved Star Trek Universe.

Guess will see.. stayed tuned.

New KOTG Online Store

Since our Logo is done I was looking into producing some KOTG T-shirts for prizes and gifts. Well I came across Cafe Press and noticed that you can upload you logo and then make all sorts of cool items like T-shirts, magnets, bags, pet supplies, buttons and much more. So I opened a Knights of the Guild Online Store. Where listeners/fans of our podcast can buy KOTG merchandise. Of course we still plan on buying some shirts and other merchandise to give out are prizes and giveaways. If your interested in getting a really cool Knights of the Guild Podcast T-shirt or Button stop by our store and check it out.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Harry and I just got back from watching Wolverine. We both really enjoyed it. We were both entertained. I have heard bad things about it but I knew I would enjoy it and I was right. Of course it's not perfect, wish we saw more of Gambit but it did it's job and explaining the Origin of Wolverine. The Action sequence were cool and the majority of the SFX were pretty sweet. There was some unfinished looking Wolverine blades in some scenes but it didn't take me out of the story. It was great seeing the guest appearance of Patrick Stewart as Professor X and we stuck around and got to see two scenes after the credits. All in all not my favorite of the X-Men movies but still enjoyable and entertaining.

Knights of the Guild Promotional Stuff

Since our Logo was finished we were able to order some promotional items to give out to our listeners and at Comic Con.

Take a look.. First up is a Postcard ( Front & Back)

































Next we have Magnets














And finally Book markers (Front and Back are the same)














Still working on doing some T-shirts and possible coffee cups. And for some lucky listeners maybe even a Thong or two. :)

New Knights of the Guild Logo

Feeling Better

I'm feeling better about losing the house.. though it would suck that's part of house buying. I do know that we are going to hold off on looking at houses until the money is secure as I can't handle finding another home we love and not being able to put a bid in on it because red tape.

I haven't given up hope yet on this current house... not until I get an email from my realtor that says it's sold... then I'll cry.

Losing a House

Well Harry and I decided that we were going to go ahead and put in an offer on the large lot house that we saw on Saturday. It's been on the market for over 600+ days. It's everything we were looking for and very exited about it. I contacted our Realtor to get a bit more info about it and she informed me that someone put an offer in over the weekend and the home owner just sent a counter offer and they are no waiting to see if the buyer will accept it.

Well I started to panic as that is our house so we started the process of sending in an offer in hopes that the first offer doesn't work out. The house has been in escrow three times and each time it's fallen through.

The downpayment money is still in Harry's Austrian bank account and we found out that there is a lot of red tape to wire that much money over to my bank account. So now it looks as though we are not going to be able to make an offer. It's going to take a few weeks now for the money to transfer and all we can do is wait and hope this house stays on the market.

Tonight finished editing the next Ready Room podcast #56. They have gotten a lot easier as we are no longer do commentary on a regular bases and my buddy Rick Moyer is now doing the music pass. It's a huge time saver.

Jared Hoy, the Guild gaffer stopped by to do his interview for our crew section and we spoke with Mary aka WorldofHiglet for our fan interview section. After we were done with the interviews Jenni and I went through and recorded the rest of the show. We finally got done at 11:30pm. Now I just need to edit it before the 15th.. fun times.

Lost Marathon

After looking at a few houses I was suppose to hang out with my friend Will but he cancelled so instead Harry and I watched seven episodes of Lost. It was between Lost and Heroes as we are very behind on both series but Harry choose Lost first. It's fun to watch that series when you don't have to wait a week to find out what's happening next. We are almost caught up we have one more episode to watch before will be up to date. Lost has been one roller coaster ride this season. I can't wait to see how it all ends.

A Few More House

Today Harry and I went and looked at two houses in Burbank and 1 in Valley Glen. We liked one of them in Burbank and the one in Valley Glen but both of us still talked about the house on Calvin in Northridge. I really think that will be the one we go for... will keep you updated.
