With the potential of buying this place in Ohio, one thing comes to mind. Home repairs. Now I know a little about how to do things around the house, but when it comes to older homes and home repair, knowledge is power. You don’t want to be spending money on a repairman if you could do it yourself. There is a website that will help you become the knowledgable repairman that you know you can be, and you know you want to be. It is called doityourself. With doityourself they offer tips and advice on everything from how to wire older home to replacing the roof. They have over 100 active forums for you to ask a question in, so you never have to feel alone with your projects.

Of course asking and seeing are two separate things, that is why they offer DVDs on how to do things. How many times have you been involved in a project reading what to do, when if you saw somebody do it then you could have probably done it right the first time, instead of paying for your mistakes? The DVDs are a lifesaver when it comes to home improvement projects, even something as simple as changing out a light fixture could be disasterous if you don’t know what you are doing, so having a step by step DVD to show you couldn’t hurt right?

I went to EB Games last night and got a new microphone for my 360. It seems stronger than my previous one, that came witrh my 360, so that is good, plus this one only cost me ten dollars and I had money on a gift card, so technically it was free. I would have liked to get a wireless one, but I don’t have sixty bucks to spend on that right now, especially with a car that could die at any time.

I need to comment my regulars, and I also need to get more people as my regulars. I used to sit down and enjoy reading blogs and the comments people would leave me, but lately I just don’t seem to have the time. Halo 3 takes up some of my time along with Krissy and work, so it doesn’t leave much time. Although I guess you could see this as work with the money I make from blogging and advertisers and such, maybe I will take that into account from now on.

In other news my XBox communicator broke today so I have to go to EB Games tonight and buy a new one.

We got the loan, only instead of twenty, we got eight thousand dollars. It isn’t as much, and I can’t afford a new car with it, but I can afford to get mine fixed, but that is better than nothing right? There are still a few snags in the way, but we were approved for it, so now we just need to get rid of those snags and see what we can do about them.

I’ve been looking at ways to get my credit card balances down, and I think I might get another card and transfer the balances to it so that I have a lower interest rate, although I am not sure yet. I found one where I can get 0% on purchases and transfers within the first six months, and quite frankly that is really not a bad deal at all, so I might do that. The card I found actually gives money to a charitable organization of my choice when I make purchases, so that is good, at least I would be helping people whenever I bought something I needed for myself right?

I figured out how to get them from XBox Live to my Windows Live account, so I might have some up later on today, if not then maybe in the next week. It is something that I have been wanting to do for a while, I just haven’t had much time, but maybe if I say it then I will actually get it done.

Do you know how women say “I love a man in uniform”? Well I may have found out why. Apparently Military Clothing has extra cushion in the butt region so that the person wearing it has a nicer ass. They are now taking this idea and putting it into dresses, pants, and shorts to make the butts look better. I guess one thing the war has taught us, if your going to die at least have your butt look good.

I’m trying to make some screenshots on Halo 3 so I can put them up here for wallpapers, but so far I haven’t figured out how yet. I’ve got this cool one of me on a Mongoose and explosions going on in the background, but I don’t know how to get them from the XBox to Bungie, so maybe later today I can have that figured out.

I’ve always joked and said that I would love to put a sign on my car saying lepslair, but I never thought about it seriously until I found a website that offered custom Signs at a low cost. It would be pointless to do it now, but in the future on my next car I might consider it, I mean I have seen people with websites on their cars and if I remember them I go to the site to see what it is, so why not right?

I have been playing Halo 3 on and off since 12:30 AM on Tuesday morning, so let me give you my official review.

The story picks up right after Halo 2 ended. In the campaign the enemies are smarter and tougher. They charge in formations so it is harder to take control of a sticky situation. But with new weapons such as the Mauler and the flamethrower, making those alien scum pay isn’t as hard as you’d think.

The story is fine and all, but the multiplayer is what put Halo 2 on the map. Halo 3 is no different. There’s new varients to games like territories and new game types like VIP. I haven’t been in any custom games yet, but I want to find out how a Halo 2 favorite, Zombies,n plays in the newly added built in edition known as Infection.

If you were on the fence about it back on the beta due to the graphics, don’t even worry about that. You wouldn’t even think that the Halo 3 multiplayer beta and Halo 3 were on the same system. The graphics are incredible, and as one of the main Bungie guys was talking about, the water looks absolutely amazing.

Just played my first match on Halo 3 and it owned. We lost, but I had 17 kills and the other guy had 23, this game is sweet. The second game went much better, we won and I have been playing ever since. I will definitely be putting a lot of hours in this game.

I have always wanted a real dog, all my life I have been surrounded by little dogs. A real dog as Jeff Dunham puts it is a dog that doesn’t jump when they bark. Even though they are on the small sidel, I have always liked English bulldogs. Something about them makes them so ugly, and yet so cute at the same time. I can’t really explain it. If we ever get a loan to get out of here, I might get one or two Bulldogs because UI just love the breed so much.
