Heroes, more like *YAWN*

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

I’ve finally started watching Heroes, and it’s a pretty average show. It was definitely made in an attempt to get middle america off their tractors. Also the show feels lazy. As far as network serials go, it’s worse than Lost. Also the first 1.5 episodes are awful. I was seriously considering to let episode 2 be my last. It’s a good thing they decided to introduce the bad guy.

It’s no Friday Night Lights, that’s for sure.

The Most Evil Person In The World…

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

…lives on my street.

I don’t know her (Surprised?) name, but she is The Most Evil Person In The World.

Coming home, I stopped by the mail box, and I saw her throw a plastic bottle in the street. That’s right, she just threw it in the street, landed in the gutter. Amazing.

Yep, people who drown puppies and people who change lanes without signaling, take solace in the fact there is someone in the world that I hate more than you.

Naked

Monday, June 18th, 2007

Today, I didn’t wear a watch. I dont think I’ve ever left the house not wearing a watch since like 7th grade. I was almost out the door when I realised my wrists were naked. I’d went to far. I couldn’t return. So I walked out the door.

It was kind of fun. Exciting not knowing the time all the time. I know what you’re thinking, cell phone. But cell phones are in your pocket, not readily available.

I think I’m going to try out this watchless state for the rest of the week.

Zip ties Are The Future

Zip ties are really really great.

Just look at their many uses –

like zip tying power strips to desks

Friday Night Hype

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

I stayed up till 6:30am watching Friday Night Lights. It’s really good. Amazingly good. Like almost Veronica Mars good. Which is good since Veronica Mars isn’t coming back.

It was a situation like I have to watch one more episode. And I would watch one more episode, and it would continue until I couldn’t stay awake.

Instructions on How Not To Sell Stuff on Ebay

Friday, June 15th, 2007

So I got greedy and bid on a Nokia E62. I didn’t realise the seller didn’t take Paypal.

So I emailed him,

You don’t take Paypal? I didn’t notice before I’m sorry, if you don’t take Paypal, I’m not going to be able to pay for this item

He replied,

WHAT ABOUT COD

I replied,

Is there a reason why you won’t do Paypal? I’ve never done COD before.

He replied,

I DONT LIKE TO PAY FOR THINGS ONLINE IAM A MAN OF MY WORD BUT IF NOT NO BIG THING AND FOR $75 I DONT THINK SO

I replied,

Thanks for understanding. I just dont feel safe making a purchase without using Paypal.

Yep, CAPITILISATION and No Paypal. This is all Long’s fault really.

iPhone, more like iShmone

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

The Sony Ericsson K850 is a beast of a phone. I want one badly. It has a 5mp Autofocus camera. And 3G. And most importantly J2ME.

It’s definitely a phone I love.

A Place Where Happiness Turns To Dust

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

Because of Long, I forgot to bid on a Nokia 6234. There was a possibility I could’ve won. My maximum bid was going to be $110. A Nokia 6234 is not a Phone I Love, but it’s definitely a Phone I Like. QVGA screen, Nokia Series 40, and Edge. It would hit Love territory if it had a Autofocus camera and LED flash, and a Multitasking OS. And it wouldn’t hurt to possibly lose a few mm.

My-verse

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

Today I cancelled my Dish Network subscription. I felt like a monster. There on the other line was a customer service rep just trying to do her job. Just throwing offers at me, and I kept turning her down. See, I’m switching to ATT U-verse. IPTV! It’s no Verizion FiOS, but it’s something.

My last day of Dish is the 15th. My installation for U-verse is the 23rd. So it’ll be a week of no Daily Show/The Colbert Report before bed. I’ll manage.

But IPTV, I’m excited. It’s the future.

You Eco-Terrorists Can Suck It

Guess my MPG?

Today I got 28.9 miles per gallon. 28.9!

The EPA rates my car 22 city/29 highway. The newer adjusted rating is 19 city/27 highway. I’m better than the EPA.

I think it’s because lately I’m sleeping later, causing me to leave later, which means I face less traffic, meaning I get to go 70+ miles per hour all the way to work.

So what can you take from this? I drive a 4600lb SUV and it’s possible for me to get 28.9mpg. Toyota is obviously using black magic. It’s the only explanation. My RAV4 obviously doesn’t use gas. I’m guessing- drowned kitties.

Amazing!
