OK, not really. In fact, you'll probably be pissed you followed that title to get here, only to realize I'm just plugging my new blog.
For some reason I felt that sporadic blogging here at Cheeky's Hideaway and the guilt I have for not blogging more frequently at DadCentric and Draft Day Suit wasn't enough. I thought that my full-time job and parental responsibilities were insignificant enough to warrant me starting a new blog, because what I really need is another distraction in my life.
I may look like a mild-mannered professional, but within my chest beats the heart of a geek. And there are others like me. And just because we don't all order wedding cakes shaped like the Death Star or re-enact scenes from Grand Theft Auto doesn't mean we don't have a voice.
So I'd like to proudly introduce My Wife Hates My Xbox, a new blog featuring (so far) myself and Mr. Big Dubya. It's a place to discuss the nerdy, gadgety, and otherwise frowned-upon topics we enjoy which our spouses would rather we keep safely contained in basements and online chat rooms.
I hope you all visit and, if you enjoy it, tell your friends. If it doesn't make sense to you, then I'll get you Oodgie's cell number and you can commiserate.
Or perhaps I'll just let Robert Kelly explain...




HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Ok, is it sad that I immediately thought of Chun Li from Street Fighter at the end of that video? And why the heck didn't you go to Comicon?!?

TheOtherCW is right. We totally should have gone to ComicCon on Sunday morning. It was Family Day! Of course, that means there probably weren't any half-naked She-Ras or Princess Leia's running around but still...

You and I have so much in common, I was actually thinking of a post called 'Why won't my husband let me get s Wii?'.

I knew that behind the New York hair and blazer so non chalantly worn with jeans and funky shoes that you were still the same guy I knew back in the day. You know, the one with a chess board beach towel (with matching game pieces, waterproof for the beach or pool!) and a model of the Enterprise on your desk.

(Sadly) my husband and I spend our weeknights side by side on the couch on our laptops with the t.v. on. Thank you for providing us with his and hers blogs to read as well. It's kind of charming in an Ozzy and Harriet sort of way.
