When it fits nowhere else.

Number 179

Stupid canadians, Furniture, ebay, and Election.

The weirdest thing happened today. I was at Jenn’s, and I noticed the toilet paper is 3/4 the width of normal. Apparently it was brought from Canada by one of her roommates. It’s metric toilet paper! It’s funny.

Jenn now has my futon, Chris’s is sold, along with our pull out bed/sofa thing and a bunch of other stuff. We had like 8 things for sale in the newspaper and this lady came for one thing, but ended up buying nearly everything.

Only about 14 hours left on my auctions. I currently have a bid on only 1 item. I am hoping they are doing a last minute thing, which is likely.

After another presidential survey, I learned I am 83% with Kerry, and 12% with Bush. I disagree that it’s that much, I felt I was a little more toward even, but figured was more with Kerry.

I think that’s about it. Guess I will see you all Friday.

For Sale

eBay, Presidential stuff (maybe too much of it), and Website updates.

I have finally listed some stuff on eBay. It took alot more effort than it should have, due to eBay feeling that my account was hacked and therefore blocking access to it. It took 3 days, but I got access, and got some stuff listed.

I listened to the first presidential debate on my computer, and watched the second early this morning on a Fox News rebroadcast. After coming to mixed opinions, I decided to look online for a survey to help me find who my best candidate is. My results were a bit off of what I expected:

1. Your ideal theoretical candidate. (100%)
2. Brown, Walt – Socialist Party (72%)
3. Cobb, David – Green Party (72%)
4. Nader, Ralph – Independent (63%)
5. Kerry, Senator John, MA – Democrat (56%)
6. Badnarik, Michael – Libertarian (36%)
7. Bush, President George W. – Republican (25%)
8. Peroutka, Michael – Constitution Party (9%)

Apparently my only chance of a 100% (or anything even close) match is to write in my own name. My top match though is Walt Brown, of the Socialist party. Of the 2 candidates that have any chance, Kerry is on top with 56% compared to Bush’s mere 25%.

Overall, based on my views toward what I heard on debates and read on their websites, Kerry is my more compatible on domestic policy while Bush is on foreign. So, I still am fairly unsure which way I will go, but it likely wont be socialist (though this isn’t the first time I have taken a survey and been deemed a socialist).

My overall view of the latest debate is that Kerry too often says “I have a plan” without saying a single word on what the plan is. What are all these plans? Are you going to invade Canada and make them our slaves? Are you going to have your wife’s family give us all free Ketchup so we forget our worries? Bush though, seems to always be defending his last 4 years in office and seldom saying what he will do. So, I am left seeing a choice of a president who wont explain his plans, or one that seems to have none at all.

Anyway, enough of that.

Not that I have much else.

I have posted more to the website. The links, PAQ, and disclaimer are now up. The links page has been slightly updated, but there are more additions I want to do (the “update” was just removing links, not adding). Still more to do, but it is going.

My 200th post will on December 14th. Thats not too far away really. This is 178 by the way, in case you wondered.

OK, I think thats it. I guess I will see you all on Tuesday.

Recent polls say you lost the debate?
Yeah, that’s why I never trust Poles, or Germans, French, or Russians for that matter.

You've Tried the Best, Now Try the Rest!

Question, Cell Phones, Grandma, River of Time, Todd, Jenn, Construction, and Work.

Hi all.

Question for you. You store glasses upside down because you don’t want stuff to get in them, or so they can drain, right? Why not dishes? Plates have a much greater surface area than cups, yet they are stored right side up. Would plates not have a greater chance of becoming dirty? You may argue that plates and bowls are nested, so only 1 would become dirty. But, that top one that would be dirty is most likely to be used. Also, some cups are nestable, yet are still stored upside down. Just something to think about.

I was looking at cell phones again. I decided I am still waiting. I don’t have any money, nor do i have a real use for a cell phone.

My grandma is driving me crazy. She has good intentions, but is getting into shit she has no clue about. I don’t expect everyone to know everything, I just want them to know enough to realize that they don’t know.

River of Time is next Saturday and Sunday. Jenn and I are going, all you are welcome to join.

Went to Todd’s bonfire with Jenn. Todd was entertaining as always. We learned that Carhartt coats burn very bright and very hot.

Jenn went with her mom and sister to Ann Arbor Friday. Her sister had to go down for an appointment with her pregnancy, and Jenn was to watch Johnny, her nephew. Turns out the baby was breached, and they scheduled a C-section for Saturday morning. So, Jenn was stuck in Ann Arbor very bored all day. Chris was bored here, so we went and saved her. My brother kept thinking he was in Grand Rapids for some reason.

Broadway has full pavement and curbs, just sidewalks, lights, and landscaping to go. The work in front of my house is done for now, but they need to return to replace the sidewalks and grass.

I worked Saturday for the first time in about 6 weeks. Needless to say I am a bit sore. Will be back at it again on Monday. It sucks, but I need a paycheck.

I think that’s it. Will be back Tuesday.

I think the title is funny enough.

Number 170

Jenn, Holiday, Money, Stinky, and Movie.

So what did I miss in Yesterday/Sundays update?

Monday was Jenn and I’s 4 month Anniversary.

Today is “Felt Hat Day” apparently.

I need about $1200 if anybody is rich and has nothing better to do. Well, I could use $1200, I really only need about $200 right now, to pay for .Mac and fulfill my Columbia House agreement.

For some reason our bathroom sink stinks. I’m not totally sure if it’s something in the drain, or something in the water. It seems more prevalent with hot water, but may be something in the trap that becomes more fragrant when warm. I should take it apart, but too lazy right now.

I believe tonight Jenn and I are watching Caddyshack, because she apparently has never seen it. If not, then tomorrow some time.

Ok, Considering I updated yesterday this is quite a bit. See you all Saturday, if I remember.

All quotes have been exhausted, please bare with me as I await somebody to say something cool.

So Sad

Toys R Us, Bennigan’s, Updates, Blogversarry, Scallops, and Movies.

Friday I went with Jenn to Toys R Us. It was scarry. I wanted WAY too much stuff. Lego’s, Tonka trucks, Guns, Cars, all kinds. Jenn was laughing that I was acting like a little kid and she had to drag me out like my mom.

We went to Bennigan’s again too. I got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Wow. It was huge, and spicy, and good. I am amazed with Bennigan’s food, it’s cheap and awesome.

I am getting really bad at updates. It is actually Tuesday as I write this post for Sunday. I might actually just skip Sunday and post this as Wednesday, but I think not. It really is sad though. I just haven’t been in a blogging mood. That and have been away with Jenn a lot. I will work on it, really.

I missed the 1 year anniversary of the move to iblog. You may recall that it was on September 1st that I moved from blogger to iblog. Oh well, not the first blogversary I missed.

I think thats about it. I don’t really have much more. It’s sad that from Friday to Tuesday I didn’t do anything. I did do things of course, but they either don’t seem appropriate to blog about or I forget them.

Well, I guess there is more. Hmm…

Jenn made me scallops and shrimp over tortellini. It would seem I was mistaken in thinking I liked scallops. They were good at Genji, but the last 4 times I have had them they just weren’t as I remember. The dinner was good though, the scallops were just of poor quality or something weird like that.

Jenn has spent the last 2 evenings here (tonight and last) watching movies. Last night was Jersey Girl and tonight was Dorm Daze. Jersey Girl was good, not the usual of Kevin Smith, except a bit of Chasing Amy. Still though, it was a good movie. Dorm Daze was a bit cheezy and hard to follow, but still entertaining.

OK, I will leave it at that, and post whatever else tomorrow night. Promise.

Hmmmmm

22, apple expo, broadway

Only seven more days till Nick’s birthday. Twenty-two not exactly an important year. Sixteen you can drive, Eighteen you can vote, get freedom, legal adult, twenty-one you can drink and more adult stuff, twenty-five you get cheaper car insurance, twenty-two nuthin.

Apple Expo in Paris was Tuesday morning. New iMacs came out. They are thin now… two inches thin. I like the old iMacs better cause of the way they looked, but the new ones are faster. It was on at 4am here cause Paris is six hours ahead. There was no live cast but I followed the updates.

Broadway is half paved, we walked down the half of concrete with the dogs, but molly kept going in and out of the ditches. Fun Fun. Should be done soon hopefully.

ps. In case you can’t tell this blog wasn’t written by Nick, he didn’t want to so I (Jenn) wrote it. I did good didn’t I 🙂

Why? Because I Can, Of Course

Sick, Ecto Cooler, Rodeo, Melon, and School.

Hi all.

I am feeling noticeably better. I guess it is a flu or cold that goes around and not allergies. The one thing I have been thinking this whole week though, is that if I could get some Ecto cooler in the steel can, I would be better much sooner. WAIT, FLASH! After writing the last sentence I found this page, which is fun on its own by telling us some Ecto Cooler history, but also shows us that the magical drink still exists! WOOHOO! Also, note the link at the page’s bottom to view the original Ecto Cooler commercial.

Wow, I really want to run to Meijer right now, but I know better. Tomorrow.

Hmm, what else, I guess it all really pails in comparison to finding out that Ecto Cooler is hiding on us. Anyway…

Jenn and I are going to the rodeo at the Midland County Fair tomorrow evening. We went for a bike ride to the farmer’s market this afternoon and I got a honey rock. So much better than the California cantaloups we get stuck with the rest of the year.

I am definitely not going to school this semester, as of 6 pm on Aug 17th (when payment was due). It’s OK though, since I don’t really know what I’m going to school for anyway. Besides, it opens up my schedule for if I ever got a job that I applies for (I am 1 for 30 since graduation, btw).

I can’t even remember the other stuff I was going to mention. I can’t believe I’m this excited over a fruitless fruit drink. Truly scary.

OK, I guess I should call it a night then, since I am tired anyway.

Sunday…

nick

Ok, now I’m thinking of another word, and this time it’s definitely not kitty.
Is it kitty?
AHHH! Get out of my head!

It's Shake n' Bake, and I helped!

Random crap, don’t bother.

So, uhm, I don’t want to be here…

I am pretty tired, and kinda hot, and, well, I am probably just going to do a half-assed job at posting if I do, so, uhm…

But there was a few things I wanted to mention, but there not important…

And it’s not like anybody reads this anymore…

Hmm…

Ok, I guess.

I worked today, but not yesterday, and only a little the day before.

Blog/Website has been re-spidered, so all pages but this one are in search index.

I decided Schwarzenegger and Ventura would be interesting running mates.

Haven’t done any website work in a long time now. Haven’t done baseball cards in a few days either.

If I don’t work tomorrow, I am going to clean/rearrange my room.

I finally found the key to our front door. I lost it like a year ago. Was in center console of the car.

Powerbooks ship with all their install images on a single DVD, rather than 8 install/restore CDs and a system check CD like Jenn’s ibook or 2 Install, 3 restore, and 1 check CD like mine. Is a good idea. iBook is only mac that ships with a CD-Rom option, and thats only available on the low end edu only model.

OK, thats enough. I’m going to bed.

bye,
nick
