Well, it's my first week of holidays this year. What am I doing?? Nothing much other than relaxing. Yeah, it might sound boring to most of you, but I don't mind it... most times. Yeah, who am I kidding it is boring sometimes, but I found myself a game for my PSP, God of War. It's pretty good actually. More fun than I thought it would be. Anyways, the week started alright actually. A friend had a birthday party... had a blast... until the little "incident" at the end. My friends tried to set me up with someone. It was, lets say... "shocking" to say the least. I didn't know what to say or do except smile and nod... smile and nod. Any who... hope next week's post will consist of something fun that happened this week.. until then...
Yes!!! New week, new post... NEW COMPUTER!! YAY!!! I finally gave in waiting for a replacement 12" to my Powerbook G4. I bought a new Macbook 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo!! It's black... it's great! It's fast!!! I don't know what else I can say about it. I love it! This is a speed jump up from my old 867!!! I knew my old Mac was getting a little slow, but wow!! Now, why must stores insist of making every one buy their "extended warranty"? Ok, I know why they do it, I mean I've been doing it for over 15 years, but really... I've never shot down a company just to try to make the sale. Man... Oh well. I'm happy, I have a new computer finally!!
Ok, as I said I'm going to attempt to commit myself to posting my comments in here! So, the week was good. I got my review at work. It was generally good. I don't know if it was "all for show" and every one really got a good review or not. But, my boss seemed to have put some effort into it. Seemed like he actually did read some of the comments I had made, so I will take it for what it's worth... that and a RAISE!!! Oh yeah... Ok, my fingers are crossed anyways and I'm hoping for something more than 10 extra bucks every two weeks.
I woke up to 2 inches of snow this morning. (yes I'm so not metric) I was really hoping it was spring. As was stated by fellow "vox-er" spring means playoffs! hehe.. most of the snow is gone now so it's alright. Oh yes!! I saw "Be kind rewind" the other day. I wasn't expecting much, because I never really liked Jack Black, but surprisingly, it was hilarious!! For those who don't know, it's about two buddies who work at a VHS rental store. So, I don't give anything away, all the tapes are blank and they have to film every movie (sweded) in the shop. It's very, VERY funny, and I highly recommend it for any one looking for some laughs.
Well, today I brought home some fishies... I don't know why, but I really wanted some kind of pet... and since I don't have time to care for myself, I really didn't want to have a dog to sit at home wondering where I am. Incidentally, it dawned on me today how loyal dogs are!!! No matter how you treat it, it will always love you, it will always greet you with a wagging tail when you return, it will always be willing to lick you in the face!!! I love dogs! I don't know how many people out there are as loyal!
Ok, what if I convinced myself to do updates weekly?? That might work, won't it?? Yeah, you're right probably not. Really though... life is going alright. My work is actually ok. I won't say it's great, but really I am OK with it right now. It does have it's moments though like I'm sure every one has. There will always be those "visits" and "inspections" and "audits" but, what do you do? I just won't let it get to me, that's all.
Well, I must say, after 2 years of being single, it has hit me now. I think I need to get back into it. It's been great though. There are some girls out there that are so nice, it worries me that I'll be bad for them. hehe.. Which makes me wonder... can flirting ever be innocent???
What else do I got? Nothing much, saw the lunar eclipse (which apparently I totally can't spell today) the other night. It was ok... every thing is just "OK".. hehe..
Well, I guess spring is here soon. I can't wait... hmm, maybe that's why the restlessness?? Perhaps... hehe.. till next time...
Show us the gadgets you carry with you.
Hey hey!!
Just so the world knows I'm still around, I've decided to post a little about what's been going on. Let's see, where did I leave off??? Who knows, it's been that long! The snow is still all over from the massive dump we had a few days ago. It really wasn't "that" much, but we've beens spoiled..
Been busy watching the end of the US NFL season.. Go Giants!!! I really don't care for either teams, but I just want to see, 1)Brady lose... 2)Eli have something to rub into big brother's nose! Hockey?? Well, I don't really want to talk about it in risks of jinxing the rest of the season, but ok.. I will. The Calgary Flames aren't doing "too" badly. We just signed veteran goalie Curtis Joseph to a one year deal, so that makes him worth about $630,000 for the rest of the season. That's alright, he wasn't bad.. wasn't great. Then there's Lacrosse... I haven't been to a game yet, but I said I would this year, so gosh darnit!!! I will!
TV shows are hard to come by this year with the writer's strike in the US. Amazing Race Sn. 12 is over... I have to find a way and a partner to go on this show!! It really is the only reality show I like to watch. I think just because there's traveling and things to "do" throughout. American Gladiators 2008 started recently with the Hulkster as host.. looks very promising. I don't know, I think it is because I'm a child of the 80s so.. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S CHEESE! hehe.. But, then there's Terminator:the Sarah Connors chronicles. I love this show so far. Looks very promising indeed. Summer, the new protector of our future leader... she's got to be the pretties of them all so far.
Oh, and the good things, or fun anyways... I bought myself a shiny new Sony PS3 just around Christmas time and I love it! The games are super.. ok, some of them. There are it's duds, but the ones that rock.. they rock! Time Crisis... Call of Duty 4.. NHL 08! Love them all!! Compliments my PSP greatly... the only thing bad is, my Nintendo Wii and DS are feeling neglected lately, but can you blame me???
One more thing... (c) Steve Jobs.. hehe.. I bought some BOSE TriPort OE Headphones. They rock! These are probably the best sounding headphones I've used.. they're definitely the most expensive ones I've bought, but they are worth it for me. The bass is great, and the trebles are crisp! I love them more than the Shure e2c in ear buds I was using for a while now. The Shure's were good, but you just need a "perfect" seal in your ears for them to sound great, and for some reason, my ears don't like them because the "reject" them once in a while, making me force them back in there! hehe..
Alright, that's it for now.. hope to see you all soon!
Well this is it! Snow is coming! It's here! Lots of it! Blizzard like!! Ok, not quite, but there is a lot of snow coming down up here in the North West part of our wonderfully congested city! Looks like I might need to dig out the snow brush tomorrow before I head off to work. Oh well, we all knew it was coming... is any one ready for it?? Probably not, and I'm sure we'll see I'm right tomorrow at the morning rush traffic if this snow keeps falling.
Ok. it's been way to long since I've last posted. nothing really too exciting in my life I guess. my friend is about to have a baby... I'm actually really excited for her, I think it will be so good for her. Hockey season has started and the Calgary Flames are very... inconsistent to say the least. I do find myself getting tired and frustrated with things very easily now.. but, what do you do. ok hope to post more often... no promises though. :)
Oh yeah?? You have any pictures of it?? I like my Marware as well... it fits so nice. The more... read more
on Week 10!
