My Mind has been absorbed...

By a game.

A very good game called "Uplink". It's hollywood style hacking come to your PC.

Check it out at http://www.introversion.co.uk/uplink/

Download the demo, play "hacker", and then get the game. It's really cool, and It sucked up 6 hours of my day.

Money is good!

It was so worth it. 600+ Dollars on my check. My Adelphia is paid off, my IOT at work is paid off, my rent is paid, and I got a new printer, new workclothes, and food for my cupboards. With 50 bucks to spare :)

And next week, my manager goes on vacaction AGAIN, so I'll be getting a load of hours next week as well.

We had near record breaking lunch sales on Sunday. And that's with the Patriots loss in football.

And one of co-worker's son had Super Mario 64, so I borrowed it form them, and am now up to 92 out of 120 stars :)

Phew!

Well It's been another long week at Domino's. I put in 60 hours last week (that's as much as I work in 2 weeks).

I can't believe how popular the Philly Cheese Steak pizza is over there, and I can't believe it'll be therr until November 2nd, and then it'll be GONE. Yes, Gone. Finito. To be no more. Is that a stupid way to market a product or what?

I could understand bringing it back next year during the beginning of footbal season (it woudl increase sales), but they aren't going to. What a great way to piss off new customers too... bring them in with a new pizza that tastes great, and ththen tell them that we are discontinuing it. Don't TPTB understand that's going to kill our sales? Oh well, I don't make the decisions, I just make the pizzas ....

In other news, I got myself and N64, but I'm still looking for Super Mario 64 to play. :/

My friends Heather and Chuck are safely moved into their new apartment, and Charlie (their son) is in the first grade.

And I also picked up a few comic books. Not action type comics like Superman or X-Men. I'm talking comics that make you laugh. I've talked about pvponline.com before here, and Scott Kurtz now publishes a comic book through Image Comics, and it is hilarious.

It is finished...

After months of searching, one hard drive crash, and some luck, I finally have a complete Weird Al's MP3 Collection.

Now the majority of the MP3's are mine. Only about 20 are those that I didn't have on CD already.

People don't know the rules of the road...

And to prove it, walk across any crosswalk in the Lewiston/Auburn area, and if your not careful (even though you legally have the right of way), you'll get hit.

I almost got hit by a f**king driver while in the crosswalk, crossing with the traffic light. I've been in at least 20 near hits over the last 3 years. I'm tired of stupid-ass drivers that don't even know the basics of the rules of the road. And HOW IN THE HELL do they pass their driving tests, if they can't even obey COMMON driving rules?

Now I'll be the first to admit than when I was driving (about 5 years ago), I wasn't the greatest driver. I've had my share of accidents. But I've always STOPPED for pedestrians in the crosswalks.

Get a clue Maine! And get your eyes checked as well.

I'm Free! I'm Free!

It's official! I have my apartment back!

Well, my friend Chuck has finally found an apartment for him and his fiancee. He'll be moving in the next few weeks, and I'll have my apartment to myself again.

Not that this is a slam on Chuck. In fact he's my best friend - of almost 20 years. He's my brother in all but blood, and I'm proud of him. He is a putz, but his intentions are almost always good. He's been a great roommate.

But I have my apartment back!
