Muddy Marlz
Again, more than a month has passed since my last blog.
Marley is doing great. He is definitely a part of the family now. We take him to the dog park aka "Mud-Park" daily, or as close to daily as possible. Without daily running, he gets pretty crazy. But typically, he's just a mellow, fun loving pup. Once in the dog park, he is a non-stop ball of chaos. A retriever through and through, he'll chase anything thrown.
Then he'll seek the muddiest, funkiest slop available and plant himself in it.

Buddy Marlsberg aka "Marley"
We got ourselves a Christmas dog.
Buddy Marlsberg, aka "Marley" is officially a member of the Hu household.
He was an immediate spaz at the Oakland SPCA, but once we got him home, it seemed we hit the lotto with this easy going, fun loving, and surprisingly mellow yellow lab.
Marlsberg was born Nov. 11, 2007.

Mucho
Again,... no posts for a while.
Just lazy I guess.
Much has happened since my last post.
We're pregnant! Well, my wife is. We're super stoked. Since there is no word to describe how stoked I actually am, "super" will do.
Yes we don't mess around. She's got the newlywed playbook and we're running it step-by-step. Wedding? Check. Honeymoon? Check. Pregnant? Check. Baby? WIP. Motorcycle? Not even visible on the list anymore. No Check.
We elected Barack Obama to the office of the most powerful person in the Universe-universe-universe.
I believe it reaffirms hope in America. We can be a progressive forward-leaning people. America is a melting pot. Obama is living proof. Be proud of diversity. Diversity keeps Americans thinking broadly; to use an overused cliché, "out-of-the-box." It's the ticket.
Look forward to Obama's inauguration day! Or "Good Riddance Day" as it is otherwise known.
Other hobbies: Still playing poker. Not as much though. I think most the the players who were losing money, gradually quit playing. Eventually, the guys who were just in it to be social, they quit showing up, because essentially they were just tossing their money in the pot, for us to grab. Other guys in my poker circle refuse to play with some other dudes, so getting a full table together is near impossible. Social politics is a bitch.
Anyhow, I still play online, though at the baby stakes. And I try and get in any live game I can, when time allows. Overall I'm still a winning player. However lately, only barely above break-even.
Tip to self: go back to basics.
Still shooting as much as possible. My cousin Evan started shooting with me, so we try and go out every chance we get, as budget allows. My shotguns skills are still pretty strong. I'm averaging 22-23ish in trap (out of 25) and maybe 19-21 in skeet. I'm sure a bit more practice would help. But again... budget allowing.
My target shooting is also improving. My groups with the 10/22 rifle are decent. My skills with the .45 are very good. At least they are with stationary targets. Decently tight groups. Problem is, it's so fun to shoot, but ammo costs are exorbitant.
Heads-up: Walmart's prices on ammo is unbeatable. If anyone finds 12 gauge, 9mm or .45ACP cheaper than Walmart (after tax and shipping) please let me know. I'd love to give someone other than the Walton's my hard earned cashish.
I miss the hell out of my dog Otis. Lately we've been talking about getting another one. But with a bun in the oven, either it's a good idea, to get a dog, break-it-in in time for the baby; or get the baby first, break-IT-in and then get the dog.
Not sure yet.
Problem for me is, I want Odog. Not some random dog. I think my heart is just still broken. Yeah, it may take some time.
We bought a sick-ass hugmongous sofa. Sofa Outlet did a great job. We are totally satisfied with our monstrous, wonderful, 3 piece sectional.
Be back soon.

Sunset Gili Air
Got married.
This is from our honeymoon... about day six or so.
It's been the best three weeks of my life.
The best part is,... I know it's only going to get better.
Here's a bunch more pics: Honeymoon PIcs
And here's some from the wedding rehearsal dinner by my buddy Dan:

The Watchmen
The dude who made 300 is making the screen adaptation of the famous graphic novel The Watchmen.
The preview looks to be an exact page-for-page translation of the graphic novel. As a huge fan of Alan Moore's masterpiece, I can't tell you how excited I am to see this movie. Especially if they stay true to his vision, which it looks like they have.
Take a look at the preview.
