A Day Off, Yeay!

Day off, School, Unfinished, Jenn, Work, Lucy, Little people, and Bike.

Finally, I have a day off. I worked 5 straight, that’s good for me. I will get a very nice paycheck I’m sure, but I am glad I get to sleep in finally.

I was notified via postcard today I made Dean’s List for Winter 04 at Delta. Is impressive I guess, though I only had 6 credits.

So what have I been doing…

Well, what I haven’t been doing is getting the pics of the dogs scanned, or renting LOTR:ROTK yet. Soon, very soon.

Wednesday after blog I went to Jenn’s, as did I every other day. We figure with the exception of the day Sarah found out her dog had cancer, I have been at her house every day since May 13th, and actually longer. Heck, even that day that I didn’t, I was probably there past midnight the day before, so were good there too. Yesterday we went to the mall and I got a new watch battery, but mostly we just hang out.

Worked Thursday thru today as well. We finished Hughs’ again yesterday, and began Kirshen’s today. I am sure somehow we will end up as Hugh’s again before the end of the summer.

After work and Jenn’s, not much else has been done.

Speaking of Sarah’s dog, it was put down at about 2pm today. Lucy had a tumor on her shoulder. She was in a lot of pain, and removing it wasn’t really an option as it would probably spread if it wasn’t already. Besides, even amputating the bad arm couldn’t be done since she had hip displacement and it would worsen it by adding more weight to each leg.

Friday was the last day of school for the little people. Congrats to any new graduates. Oh how things have changed in 3 years. Wow.

I need to get in some bike riding, but can’t seem to find the time. I get home from work and shower, then either go with Jenn and eat, or eat then go with Jenn. Seems the only way I am going to get to ride is if Jenn does, I don’t work, or I give up Jenn time. I think A is the best choice, maybe the only.

Ok. I am sure I forgot something, but oh well. New poll soon, and FREAKING COMMENT DANG IT. This no voting/no commenting is pissing me off.

I will try harder for the more pics, and at updating too soon rather than too late.

Tuesday,
nick

Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

It died.

Late Again, Dang

Late, Happenings, Website, and Poll.

Well, I am late again. Oh well, is only 2:10, so not that bad.

I went with Jenn to Alpena today, to meet her parents and see where she grew up. We had a lot of fun, and I know her that little bit better now. Yesterday I worked for a while in the morning, then Jenn and I went grocery shopping and made some interesting food. She made a hash-brown casserole, and chinese vegetable & shrimp marinara. Friday I worked also, then went with Jenn to Ruby Tuesday’s and then to a batting cage.

I have began changing the website. I have pulled down the site and put up a new index page. The new site will look similar, as I work on it. I am really happy with the way its turning out, much better than previous.

Ok, thats all for now. New poll up, so vote, and comment.

Happy Memorial Day!

Ok, So here's the story…

You caught me, 3 day update, and work.

Has come to our attention you are posting late?
Hopefully you have a valid excuse

Well, yes, I do. I have a girlfriend. I have been spending pretty much every minute she has available with her, and loving it. I still however hold that so long as the post is made by 4am, it is considered to be on the previous day, as was the rule with blogger and KungLog. Yes, I have been much more timely with iblog, but it doesn’t mean the old rule no longer applies.

I can’t even remember all we have done over the last 3 days. Today we went to see if my paycheck was available, and it wasn’t. We then went to the Texan for dinner, Meijer, then watched Bad Boys 2 at her appt. Yesterday we went to Staples to get her check stub and see her boss about work stuff, shopping at the BC Mall, tennis at Carrol Park, and then dinner at her house. And Wednesday we went to Ridge Rd. park for tennis in the dark, which is why we had to attempt again Thursday.

I probably wont get a paycheck next week, unless the weather changes overnight. I haven’t gotten in 1 hour yet this week, and it’s supposed rain again tomorrow. I though it was supposed to be April showers?

Ok, I am very tired, so am going to bed. I promise a pre-midnight update on Monday.

You may be a King or a little street sweeper,
but sooner or later you’ll dance with the Reaper.

Humm Dee Dum

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Website.

Lets see…

Sunday I mowed the lawn, and then went over to Jenn’s for a while. We went to the flea market and she got an end table, then we went to a few rummage sales. Then her roommate Sarah’s brother and his gf came over for dinner. Sarah makes a very good meatloaf, I must say.

Monday I got a haircut. Jenn had a bad day at work, and took Sarah and Sarah’s dog to the vet. Her dog Lucy has a tumor in her shoulder. Hopefully not the nasty C word. So I stayed home while Jenn tried to comfort Sarah some.

Today I went with mom to Redi-Med for an ear infection. I took Jenn to Catholic Federal to open an account, since TCF sucks, then to Grandpa Tony’s with Jenn and Sarah. After dinner Jenn and I went to State Park to play on the “Come Play by the Bay” thing. Not very good slides, but was still plenty to goof off on.

That brings me to now then.

I was playing with the website a bit yesterday, so it may have been down, sorry about that.

A few new pics may make their way up soon, we will see.

Ok, I am tired, and may or may not work tomorrow, so am heading to bed.

When it seems like nothing is going your way, and everything seems to be just wrong, just remember one thing:
It was like that when you got there.

Whoopsie

Late, Work, Biking, and Jenn.

OK, I admit it. I am late on this post. It is 2:24am on Sunday, and I was supposed to post on Saturday. Oh well. By old standards, this would be fine, so I deem it still so.

So lets see…

Only 1 vote on poll so far. That’s a bit disappointing. You people need to get it together.

My past few days activities…

Thursday and Friday we did not work, since it was supposed to rain., It did some, so that was a nice break. Saturday we did work though, so I will have an at least decent paycheck.

Thursday I went on a 16.2 mile bike ride, as a follow up to the 10 I did Wednesday night. A note for you all: Don’t do 10 miles, then 15 a mere 14 hours later. After you pass 5 miles, it’s not so bad, but until you get that far there is some pain.

I have been spending the past several evenings wit Jenn. We went to the Driving range on earlier in the week, went to Carrol and Maplewood park on Thursday, and Maplewood again on Friday. Roller slides are awesome, I forgot that. Especially when they’re wet, its much better. Today we went to Dutch Village for putt putt, Texan for dinner, and then to the end of Finn Rd. to watch the sunset.

That would be about it. I highly suggest you all go find a roller slide, or go play at a park you haven’t been to in several years. It is a lot of fun. Wet slides and swings with puddles below are too much fun to leave behind.

See you all Tuesday,

nick

Pedestrians always have the right of way,
Except when their in the way.

It's May Damn It, What the Hell?

Hot, Stupids, Past 3 days, Tomorrow, and Notes

It was way to freaking hot out today. Not just hot, but freaking humid too. We only worked till 2ish, then gave up. I probably could have gone longer, but Mom and Phil couldn’t. Not that I mind going home early.

How you know you’re in the south end: Neighbors wait till 10:30 to mow lawn.

So, what have I been up to…

Monday we didn’t work, and I basically sat around all day. No, it didn’t rain, but it was supposed to. Tuesday we were at Hughes’ on Center, just East of Green. Were at same place today, and will be tomorrow (unless rain). You should drive by, it is looking really nice now, all new mulch.

Also, I went to the driving range again with Jenn yesterday. No, not the one with the car. I did pretty well. We then drove around for a bit. We went to the end of Jones Rd. to show her the bay, but we couldn’t see it. The water level is so low that there is nothing but reeds for about a mile out.

So, tomorrow I probably will work. They are calling for rain, but have been horribly wrong for the past, well, forever.

A few notes:
Yes Scott, I know his name is Bruce Campbell.
Very awesome on DVD, will need to borrow it. (if you have no idea what I’m talking about, read last 2 comments)

Ok, I think thats it. See you Saturday.

Oh, new poll up too.

nick

If you act too stupid to know somethings wrong, it wont be.

I was in Wyoming!

Road trip, Movie, Grades, Work, Biking, Thunderstorms, and House.

Really, Scott asked me yesterday to go with him to take a couch from his apartment in Mt. Pleasant to his sister’s house in Grand Rapids, so we went through Wyoming, MI. We also had the privilege of seeing “The Eat Place” in St. Louis. Then we got the tickets for Bubba Ho-tep and I got to sit home for a whopping 2 hours.

Bubba Ho-tep was extremely funny. I’m not totally sure, but it should be available for rental, and I highly recommend it.

I got my grades from Delta, A, A, and B in HTML, JS, and Networking respectively, as I predicted.

Friday I worked, shoveling mulch. I didn’t get a pay check this past week, because I didn’t work the previous week. Oh well, will get one this friday. Worked Thursday also, but you know that from the last update.

Been riding bike more too. Trying to do at least 7 miles a day. I should be doing more, but the only days its not raining, I work and am a bit too tired to do more.

There is a thunderstorm right now, and there was just a big thunderclap that even set off some car alarms. There has been quite a bit of thunderstorms lately. According to Delta’s weather page we’re at 2.3″ of rain the last I checked, and its only the 9th.

Speaking of dates, the 7th was 1 year since we moved, and since I let Ludwig go. I miss the house, I miss my turtle. But they are gone, and I have moved on (kinda).

Ok, that’s it for today. Will see you all on Wednesday with a new poll too.

If you drank all the kool-aid from the big pitcher guy, would he die?
(he did in Homer’s daydream anyway)

It's warm again, yeay!

Broadway closed, who is AOL for XP, Erica, Poll, Site, and Movie.

Broadway closed late Monday night, or Tuesday morning. It is beginning to suck. It’s not so bad that I can’t go down broadway, but that it’s really hard to pull onto Lafayette from Wilson.

Somebody using AOL for XP has been frequenting the blog. There is no referral, and it’s a recurring visitor. Whoever you are, show yourself. Please?

Erica has disappeared. I see her view blog now and then, but doesn’t read posts, just comes to index page. I presume looking to see if mentioned. Well here you go, you are being mentioned. ;-P

Three votes on poll. You guys can do better than that, come on. I should have put up UHF, I didn’t think about it at the time though. BTW Sarah, you need to put the “other” movie in a comment!

I did more work on the website, but didn’t post the changes. I am in a bit of a dilemma over it. I just don’t know what I should be doing with it. Oh well, I will decide eventually.

Hmmm…

Saturday at 11 is Bubba Ho-tep. Should be fun.

Ok, I’m all out. Will talk at you all Sunday.

UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity.

I Hit the Car!

I hit the car!, and Movies (yes, that’s about it).

I hit the car, haha.

Ok, an explanation. On Freeland Rd., just off Bay, there is this driving range. Out about 150 yards, there is this 89ish Grand Am sitting out there. When I first saw it, I said “I have to hit the car.” Once we had our balls and were out there, I noticed a sign saying if you hit the car, you could win a club. So, I tried and tried, and eventually, I did it. Bounced right off the hood. As we left, I let the guy know and he signed me up for the drawing, so come September, I might win a golf club.

BTW, golf is a weird sport, with the shafts and the balls and all.

What else…

Monty Python was awesome. Was great to see on big screen for once. Scott and I are going this coming Saturday for Bubba Hotep, starring the dude from Army of Darkness.

Also, note the new poll.
PLEASE VOTE!!!!!!!

Hmm….

I think that’s about it.

Sorry so short, but I haven’t really done alot.

Till Thursday,
nick

If I had a nickle for every e-mail I get,
I would throw them at people.

I went WarDriving!

WarDriving, Poll, IC America, Exams, and Holy Grail.

I drove around for like an hour today WarDriving. For those who don’t know, it means I was driving around with my laptop looking for WiFi networks that I can connect to. I found a whole heaping load of them, especially along 4th and 5th streets, where the older buildings prevent easily pulling wire. Now i really want a GPS though, so I can record the networks and their location, for future reference. I can build a WiFi coverage map of the city for all you to use. I just need $89 for the GPS though.

Evil Sarah says I can’t vote in my own polls I see. The very nice Scott says I can though. Hopefully a few more of you will vote too.

Iron Chef America is all over now, though it is replaying all week. Results are as follows:

Flay over Sakai – Trout
Batali over Morimoto – Spiny Lobster
Puck over Morimoto – Eggs
Flay and Morimoto over Batali and Sakai – Sea Urchin, Scallops, and Langoustine

All 4 were against my judgment, except the Batali Morimoto. All in all though, I guess Flay was winningiest with 2 wins, followed by Batali, Puck, and Morimoto in a tie with 1 each, then followed by Sakai with 0. So the winners of the poll contest are Erica and Stacey, who both voted Morimoto. I would have voted probably Sakai (who should have been 2-0, not 0-2) or Batali. I still can’t freaking believe that Sakai lost a fish battle, or even lost at all. And that Sakai and Batali lost the Tag team is bull.

Anyway…

Tomorrow I have HTML, Thursday will be JS and Networking, then I am free! Yeay, 2 days off. Ok, not so impressive. Will give me more hours to work so I can afford a GPS though.

Hmmm, what else…

Oh, Monthy Python and the Holy Grail, this Saturday at 11pm at Fashion Square. I know Scott is going, and hope more of you can too. Let me know, ok?

I guess that is all.

Will see you all Friday to let you know how last week of school went.

bye,
nick

You don’t need to be right all the time, just enough of the majority that people THINK you are.
