I Got Shot

Shot, Backyard, Mill End, and Anniversary.

Yup, downtown, in broad daylight, I got shot in the arm. It didn’t hurt as bad as they say though, everyone makes them out to be so horrible and such, but it really wasn’t bad. I’ll live I guess. Oh, I should mention it was a Tetanus / Diphtheria shot, huh.

We have been working on the backyard again. We keep finding more and more problems to work around. We are figuring it out though. I cut my hand Saturday evening on part of a fence post anchor, hence the tetanus shot.

Jenn and I went to Mill End today, to see what was left on sale. I found a few things, but had spent all my money on the shot. I plan on going back later in the week though.

Friday, as I mentioned, was Jenn and I’s first anniversary. I took her to TGIFriday’s, then we went back to her apartment for a while, and finally to see Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Dinner was very good, potato skins, new york strip, and cheddar mashed potatoes. The movie, also, was good. A few part’s from the book were dropped out, and a few were added.

OK, I think that’s it. Nothing else I can think of anyway.

See you Thursday.

Mmm, Sacrilicious…

Camping 2005-1

Camping, and Backyard.

Jenn and I went on out first camping trip of the year Tuesday. We ran to the dollar store on pine for a tarp, but they didn’t have a big enough one, then we went to Meijer for some pop and pillows. Next was Meats and Moore for some hot-dogs and to Wal-Mart for an air-mattress. Finally, we went to William’s Cheese store and to Frank’s for a cast iron pan, followed by a few last things at Pinny Plaza. Finally, we went and set up camp.

My tent is huge, the air mattress that filled Jenn’s tent barely made a dent in mine. We cooked dinner, some hamburgers and veggie burgers, in my new pan right on the fire, and it worked well. We got bored a little later and walked down to the water. There were 2 or 3 pike eating, and they were fun to watch. Like little sharks kinda, with their fins sticking up. Later we played Trivial Pursuit for a while but got bored with it, and it was too dark to see anyway.

Finally we went to bed, but barely slept because it was a bit too cold, and quite humid. I slept more than jenn did apparently. When we woke up there were a few sprinkles here and there so we decided to pack up and head home before we got more rain.

So that was camping. It was fun, and we will go again, and you can come if you want.

What else…

I busted up our sidewalk from the patio out to the fence over the last few days. We are getting more done in the backyard gradually, though I know my Mom wishes we were going faster.

I think thats it.

I am going to get ready to go out with Jenn, today is our 1 year anniversary.

Bye

sorry, no quote, brain fart

The Local Fishwrap

Game, Site, and Gone.

That would be a good name for a newspaper huh? Too bad I have no news. Well, some…

I bought Trivial Pursuit at St. Vincent’s. Is the 1981 edition, and it makes Jenn and I feel stupider every time we play it. There are alot of questions in, for instance, the entertainment category, that are about actors who died 15 years ago, or movies from the 60s that we’ve never heard of. Oh well, used game for $2.50 still isn’t bad,

The problems with the template have been decidedly resolved. Still though, if you have problems let me know. I still make minor changes here and there, like making links become underlined when you point at them, too make them easier to find. Also, if you would like to see anything added, changed, etc…, feel free to let me know.

OK, Jenn and I are going camping now, so goodbye. We will be in Pinconning until tomorrow some time.

See you back here Friday,

Shearer’s, It’s Grandma Good…

General 200!

200, Poll, and Template.

Well, as was described the last time this happened, this is a “Special” post, but cannot be categorized as such, because doing so would void the speciality. This post is the 200th to go in the General category, and thats a big number.

Poll seems to be going well. Seven votes at my last check.

As for the new template, I have heard that there may be a problem with IE Win, but it has not been confirmed. That I have tested, the blog works with Safari and FireFox on Mac (and I presume on Win), and does not work on IE Mac, but who the hell cares. The report of bad IE Win rendering is of an unknown version, but by attempted confirmation says that IE 6 Win does fine.

Anyway, if you have any problems with my blog or website, let me know, unless you use IE Mac, in which case too bad, get a real browser.

OK, I think that’s it. See you Tuesday.

The worst insults are generally the ones you don’t understand.

It's New, and You'll Like It Too!

Template, Poll, Hitchhiker’s Guide, Apple, and Alpena.

Well, at least I hope you’ll like it. After 2 other attempts I decided whatever and just put up the new template. If you don’t like it, leave a comment about whatever problem it is that you have.

New poll is up too, so vote. I set it for 1 vote/user/year. So there shouldn’t be an multi-voting, not that you could multi-vote on this poll really anyway.

I finished my book. It ended rather grimly, but I still very much enjoyed the series. The last book was a bit confusing until you figured it out, but eventually made sense. Or, maybe I am just slow.

So Tiger is out, and I don’t have it. And I see that now 10.4.1 update is beginning development already. Also, Apple released faster iMacs that I would love to get, but can’t afford. Oh well.

Jenn and I went to Alpena this morning, and got back about midnight. Nothing extremely eventful. Saw her niece and nephew, made dinner for her parents, went in the hot tub for a while.

Ok, see you all Saturday, and let me know what you think.

April Snow Brings More Weirdness in May

Weather, Family Guy, Book, and Wrap-up.

See, in Michigan, sayings about the weather are all off a bit. Like, “In like a Lion, out like a sheep”, no, thats all wrong. In Michigan, it’s more like “in like a monkey, out like a monkey” with all the feces throwing and being just all and all stupid most of the time.

Family Guy re-premiered tonight, and it was really good. I didn’t watch American Dad, because I didn’t feel like it, and I didn’t really enjoy the post Super-Bowl premier of it.

I am now up to chapter 10, book 5 of my book. Should finish tomorrow evening. Scott and I are going to see the movie next weekend I believe.

I think that’s it, not much else has really happened. I have re-did the template and am rather happy with it. And I had Old Great Wall for dinner. That’s it though.

Wednseday…

Dude, if that’s all you can find wrong with this picture, you’re my hero.

Cat Envy

Tiger, Template, HHGG, iTunes, Chair, Poll, and DV Cam (Yes, all that, and at 3:45 in the afternoon).

Tiger is officially available tomorrow, and I will not have it. No, even at $69 with my student discount I can’t justify buying it, especially since if I ever get a job I plan to buy a new computer that would come with it within the next 6 – 12 months. Ah well.

I threw out the old template. I decided I didn’t like it. I don’t know why, just didn’t.

I am now on book 4 of HHGG. Movie opens tomorrow. I doubt I will be done with all 5 before I see the movie, just don’t have the will to do much right now for whatever reason. (On a side note I just butchered the word “what”, but you can’t tell cause I fixed it. Was going along the lines of “wahahet”.)

I downloaded my 21 free iTunes songs yesterday. I decided I should get them downloaded before I forget about them and loose the freebies. I will still gladly accept codes though.

The chair I am sitting on is dieing (It says that isn’t the correct spelling, but I don’t think dyeing it right either, hmmm…). I had 2 chairs like it, but one died, then the other, so now I am on a frankenstein of what’s left.

The poll seems to have gone over well. Sarah informs me I forgot root beer. Really though, of all the Faygos, why root beer? Why cola for that matter? More to the point though, I happen to know for a fact I have AT LEAST 1 double and 1 triple voter. I don’t mind though, cause it makes it look like I have 11 readers, rather than the 3 – 5 that I actually have.

I did a check on Amazon today and found that the Canon MiniDV camera I wanted is no longer available, has received a price jump, and I presume is discontinued. Oh well, I knew it was happening anyway, new models came out in January and thats why it was so cheap in the first place. I can’t afford it anyway.

All right, that’s all for now.
See you all again on Sunday.

The trick to flying is to jump, and miss the ground.

Uhhhhhhhh…..

HHGG, Brain, Weather, Family Guy, Site, and
Omer.

Lets see…

I bought the full 5 novel edition of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy later Friday night. I technically have 2 issues of number 1 now, so if you want the one, let me know. I am maybe half through book 2, since I have been doing other things. It is an AWESOME read though, especially if you like sci-fi (Jenn doesn’t, bastard).

My brain is wandering alot right now. Makes it very hard to type.

This weather is freaking bullshit. It was 80 just a few days ago, then 3 days of snow. Only in Michigan.

You should all be jumping up and down and not sleeping, because next Sunday Family Guy returns to Fox with brand new episodes. Seriously, this is freaking awesome.

I think I am going to post the new template anyway, even though I am mad at it, maybe time after next. My problem is a total lack of creativity.

OOH! I have very sad, sad news. You may all know that Omer is “the smallest City in Michigan”. Well, you are all wrong then. They were displaced some time ago by a smaller city, named Lake Angelus.

OK, I guess thats all till Thursday.

I refuse to be somebody’s puppet, especially not my own!

I Can Read!

Book, Poll, and Template.

In the last day and a half I managed to polish off the first of the “Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe” books. I am now slightly depressed that I don’t have the next book, nor a vehicle to go get it. I guess a break till tomorrow won’t kill me though.

The graphical polls are now back, as you can see. So vote in them, or else.

The new template isn’t looking right to me, so I need to fidget a bit more with it before I am ready to post it. I’m sure there will be fidgeting left even then, but I just see it as not yet ready enough.

OK, I am off to watch “Cheerleader Ninjas”. See you Monday.

What if I said your world was about to be destroyed?
I don’t know, is that something you think you might say?
