It's the first place I look for my keys...

Here's a little story that happened on Friday night. I went over to my friend's house for supper, and I ended up heading down to the Mega (conveinience store) for some soda and chips. So I get back, and about 10:30 I leave for home.

After stopping at the Hannaford's for some alcohol (Smirnoff Ice), I head home and realize I left my keys at Chuck and Heather's. "Superb" I think. I end up getting a ride over from one of the guys at Domino's and when I get there, I tell them I forgot my keys. Heather pipes up.. "I put them in your shoes!"

Turns out while I was at the Mega, she put my keys and checkbook in my workshoes so I wouldn't forget them... although she neglected to tell me she did so.

So basically, I went through all that trouble just to find out I had my keys with me the WHOLE TIME... sigh... oh well. It's funny now, so I can't complain.

Well - Where was I?

Interesting couple of weeks - My hard drive failed - big time. 95 bucks and 6 hours later I'm back up and running. But I have 2 80 gig hard drives now - plenty of space for my MP3's Pics and movies.

First snow happened last night - so winter has OFFICIALLY begun in my book. Time to break out the boots and keep my dress shoes at work.

Heather is going to have a girl! They found out yesterday, and they know the name - Annalisa Marie Clark.

I'm surviving (more or less) - and trying to stay healthy (I can't afford to get sick). And I'm hoping to pick up some decent hours now that Jen is on maternity leave.

Other than that - things are well :)

Down with the FCC...


The FCC has broadcasters scared, and I think it's pathetic. Saving Private Ryan is an amazing movie made to honor the lives of those who died for our country, and the FCC has broadcasters scared because of hefty fines they levied on CBS (for the Super Bowl breast showing), and ABC (?) for Bono's explicative.

Which is interesting, considering they seem to be flip-flopping on issues. What I don't get is that they let "Schindler's List" air on ABC - which I think has a more extreme subject matter (along with full-frontal nudity) than Ryan does.

And we owe it all to the Super Bowl. If it weren't for Janet Jackson's boob popping out on Live National TV - broadcasters wouldn't be stuck in this Catch-22 situation. Most broadcasters wanted to air Ryan, as long as they were guaranteed of no fines for airing it. But if they do air it, they might get fined, but they might not - so they err on the side of caution, and this movie that honors the memories of thousands upon thousands that have died for our country isn't aired.

Very very sad....

Sweet :)

Finally got the original Star Wars Trilogy on DVD. Talk about awesome :)

Annd my best friends Chuck and Heather FINALLY tied the knot on October 31st. I wish them the best of everything in their new marriage.

LOST!

And here I thought that Network TV had nothing good to offer.

"LOST" on ABC has to be one of the BEST TV shows I've ever watched. Tonight episode was great - considering that for the past 4 episodes the character Lock has appeared pretty normal. Until they show his back story. And what a back story twist. All you see is Lock sitting down, and you don't think anything of it, until you see him trying to get on the bus in Australia for the native "Walk-About" - and the camera pulls back - and he's in a wheelchair.

And then you realize that the plabne crash somehow restored his ability to walk - and they pulled it off so well that it just stuns you, with your jaw dropped, you eyes slightly bulging, and then the awe that this character who hasn't walked in 4 years is up and about.

Way Cool.

Oh my God - It's BACK!

I can't believe it - I consider myselff a HUGE Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan - I mean I freaked when I heard there was a HHGTTG movie being filmed.

Now I find out that BBC Radio 4 has actually created a continuation of the ORIGINAL series - on radio. Called the "Tertiary Phase" I'm listening to it on BBC's website - and it's as funny as the original (especially Ford and Arthur chasing a sofa on prehistoric earth).

Can't wait until next week's installement.. I'm a happy man right now....

Two months?

Yeah it's been a while - Let's recap shall we?

1) Got fired from Domino's - which is all well and fine with me considering how awful that place was geting when I "left"

2) 1 month and 3 weeks with no work and no unemployment - a nasty side effect about why I was fired

But on the plus side....

1) Got food stamps, and my landlord was nice enough to let me pay back rent - No Eviction!

2) Finally started working temporarily for BankNorth Group - Data Entry for $10/hr! Much much better than slinging pizzas.

3) Donating plasma for 40 a week as well.

4) Kicked the habit - caffeine that is - Caffeine free for 7 weeks and I'm eating better as well.

So basically my life has totally gone topsy-turvy - in a good way :)
