Apple Store!

Late: Apple Store news and a game.

Jenn and I went to the Apple Store yesterday. The 30″ display is beautiful. Strangely, it doesn’t look that big. It does however make the 23″ look small, which is quite a feat. Up close though it is a massive display, too massive in fact for ordinary tasks, as web pages and text documents seem rather tiny on the display. Pictures and movies however are gorgeous.

The iMac G5 is much better looking in person. The G4s seemed kind of awkward because of the widescreen LCD, especially the 20″, but the G5s are square, and eliminate the problem. (as a side note, the word awkward is rather awkward, yes?)

Jenn rented “Metal Gear Solid 3” for me while she is taking exams, so I may be hard to reach for about a week. Sorry. She also rented “The Day After Tomorrow”.

OK, I’ll be back Tuesday.

Happy Birthday iBook

Anniversary/Birthday, 200th, Shopping, Gift, Somerset, and Chinese.

Wow, it’s been 2 years now since I got the iBook. Makes it seem sad that I am already looking into replacing it. Honestly though, I was looking at replacing it with a 12″ PowerBook when it was barely a month old.

This post, 2 more, and then I am on number 200. Thats Tuesday the 14th by my count.

Jenn and I went shopping today in Saginaw. First we went to Olive Garden for lunch, but after 14 minutes and fully realizing the price, we left without even ordering drinks. We ended up at Bennigan’s next, and after eating we were so stuffed we never even shopped.

I bought Jenn’s gift yesterday. She knows where it is and it’s driving her crazy. I, on the other hand, am loving it. No, I shouldn’t enjoy torturing her, but I do anyway.

We might be going to Somerset in Troy later in the week, I think Thursday. I love that mall.

On December 20th Scott, Sarah, Jenn and I are going to Old Great Wall for lunch. I am excited. I liked it.

OK, that’s all for today.

8 out of 10 women use sex to get what they want.
The other 2 are ugly.

The Post Formerly Known as "Purple Dragon Suicide"

Title, Link, December, Quotes, Christmas, and Chinese.

Fun title? Yeah, thats what happens when you can’t think of anything good.

Smash My Phone
Talk about a weird pay site.

Anyway, Welcome to December, month 19 of the blog.

Normally I have trouble finding a quote for the blogs, but when writing the last blog I had 3 sitting there to choose from. A weird predicament indeed.

Jenn keeps bugging me to tell her what I’m getting her for Christmas. Only 2 people know, my mom and my brother’s friend Brandi. It’s funny.

I want chinese again. I just went to Old Great Wall a few days ago, but I feel unfulfilled. Scott needs to come back and go with me. Maybe Him, Jenn, Sarah and I.

Ok, See you Sunday I suppose.

Don’t you ever flush? It looks like a bucket of candy bars in there.

Stats, Car, Nextel, Coat, and Chinese.

Lets start with a little statistical summary. I am at 195 posts total, with 34 from blogger, 132 general, 6 pictures, 19 special, and 4 stories. In addition, I have had 3088 Visitors.

My Car died yesterday. Dead battery. My uncle recharged the battery and I drove it around for a while, and it seems ok now.

I still haven’t heard from Nextel. I am thinking I didn’t get it.

I have a new coat. Is a very nice Docker’s jacket, black with leather collar, and matching gloves.
Thanks Mom

Jenn and I went to “Old Great Wall” today. As a buffet, it’s really good. They had quite a few things I’ve never had before which is always good. Also, though we didn’t try it, they have a grill. You can pick from a whole bar of vegetables, lo-mein noodles, and meats and take them up to the chinese guy who promptly fries them up for you.

Ok, I all done. Till Thursday…

Math, my dear boy, is nothing more than the lesbian sister of biology.

Happy Thanksgiving (well, yesterday)

Thanksgiving Wrap-Up

So, Nextel never called back, I will call them Monday morning.

I went with Jenn on Wednesday to Alpena. We left about 12 and were back around 6 or 7 Thursday.

Wednesday we ate at Burger King in Standish, arrived in Alpena just in time for her appointment at 3, though she didn’t get in till almost 4. We then went to Staples to see her old workmates. Following that, we went to her house and set up the airbed and settled in. About 11 that night we got bored and went to Wal-Mart (I hate walmart, but it’s all they have) and Applebee’s, despite the rather poor conditions including slush, snow, and ice.

Thursday Jenn was up early helping her mom, and when I got up I helped out with the string bean casserole and sweet potatoes. We then had classic Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc… dinner with Jenn, her mom and dad, and sister, brother-in-law, niece, step niece, and nephew.

After dinner we sat around for a few hours, and about 3:30ish we packed up and headed home.

While we were gone Wednesday night, my brother went to see my cousin on Delta Rd. On his way back at the corner of Delta and Bay Rd., he started sliding just before the intersection. He slid into a concrete island in the intersection, snapped the front left axle leaving his tire, then slid across the street stopping in a field. In all, he broke the front axle, lost both left tires, broke a brake rotor, and who knows what else. He and Alley are fine, except being crushed over his now very injured truck. So now he is driving my mom’s truck and I am left with the Grand Prix that has no insurance.

OK, I am going to bed.

Turkey Day is Coming

Job, Mr. Deeds, Thanksgiving, Puppy, eBay

Hi all.

I might have a job, as a repair technician at Advanced Wireless. I turned in my resume yesterday and they called a few hours later for an interview. Problem is I am going to Alpena with Jenn tomorrow and wont be back till Thursday night, and of course they wanted the interview tomorrow. They were supposedly going to try and get me in today, but never called. Oh well, maybe Friday or Saturday.

We rented Mr. Deeds again a few days ago. The first time we rented it we forgot to watch it. This time, we tried to watch it, but the disk wouldn’t work right. Not in my ibook, my PS2, or our DVD player. Talk about a bad disk.

As I said above, I will be in Alpena from about noon Wednesday to 6 or 7 pm on Thursday.

Jenn and I went to the animal shelter and were looking at the dogs. In one cage there was a little black ball hiding in the corner, and deja vu immediately set in.  As it got up and walked toward us, it got worse. You see, Molly was a little black ball in the corner when we got her. This new ball is nearly a twin. A black lab, about 8 to 12 weeks old, and even has the white spot on its chest. This one is a boy though, and no spots on the paws. It would be nice, but we can’t handle another Molly.

I sold one of my 3 auctions on eBay, and shipped it out today. The other 2 are relisted until next Tuesday I believe. The freaking moron that wouldn’t pay has now left negative feedback claiming they did pay and I never shipped, so now I am fighting with eBay to get the comment pulled. Damn morons, screwing it up for the rest of us. Oh well, I am trying not to think about that, cause it pisses me off.

Anyway, I think that’s it. I’ll see you all Friday, with the post-turkey day update.

Computer over
Virus = very yes

Oops! Uhm, it wasn’t yesterday, it was 2 months ago. Stupid inaccurate calendar.

Number 191/129

Looking back, Golf, Job Fair, Chen’s, TV and Movies, and Parade.

Just for the sake of maybe something to write about, I looked at the post from one year ago today. I actually remember writing it, which is more than a bit scary. That is a main goal of the blog though, to provide a way for me to look back at what was happening on whatever previous day, and a point I have been neglecting. The bad news is though, that there hasn’t been anything happening lately. The only things I really do are with Jenn, and I deem many of them unfit for sharing (get the dirty thoughts out of your mind people, its not bad stuff, just personal stuff, or just rather boring).

Anyway…

We went golfing yesterday. I never knew how much goose shit you can pick upon your shoes. Jenn did not bad, I did do bad. I had an 18 on the first hole, which was a par 4. I did progressively better as the day went on, but we had to quit because it was getting rather dark. I owe Jenn 4 balls, that I lost to the water.

This morning we went to the Career Fair at SVSU, if you can call 8 hospital reps a career fair. I guess it should be refered to as a job fair, as the career has clearly already been chosen in this case.

Afterward we went to Chen’s, which was good (as always, except the chicken strips (inside joke, sorry)). Then a nap followed by Jenn going to class.

After her class, we watch TV and after Good Eats, Jenn decided she wanted to make Sweet Potato pie. So, we ran to Meijer and got what we needed, and picked up Mr. Deeds and Shrek 2. Shrek 1 was good, and I must say so was 2. Mr. Deeds will be tomorrow.

Also tomorrow, is the making of the sweet potato pie and apparently a parade down Broadway. Not supposed to be anything big though; Marching band, commissioner, Mayor, fire trucks, etc…

Ok, I think that’s plenty for today. Will update again Saturday.

So, the sun’s a giant star?
Actually, its only a medium star.
Oh…

Misc. Stuff

Percentage, Anniversary, TV, Posts, and Video.

So, Google announced recently that their number on searched pages has nearly doubled to over 8 billion pages. Well, I have around 400 pages, probably a little more (blog pages x2 for archive copies, website, etc… ). So, with a little math you get:

400 / 8,058,044,651 = 0.0000004964%

So I have around 4.9 ten-millionths of Google’s search index. Not bad really.

Jenn and I celebrated our 6 month anniversary yesterday. She spent most of the day with her mom and aunt shopping in Birch Run, Bay City, and Saginaw.

I’m watching a show about the “Endless Yardsale” that stretched from Kentucky through Tennessee. Sadly, it actually looks interesting. Too bad I don’t have my own reliable vehicle, or money. Oh well.

I would like to apologize about the crappy posts lately. Jenn’s only words when she saw the last post was “What is this shit?” lol

My room is getting a little cleaner. I am still working on it.

I still want a video camera. I’m not sure if I would use it, but still. I think I would. It could be fun. Especially if I could import the video to the computer, and if I had the Powerbook I hope to get within a year or so to be able to burn to DVDs. Oh well, back to that money thing.

Alright, see you Wednesday.
