2007

I love Halloween and this year I might be in my own place and a different state, so to celebrate if I am out there I am going to dress up for Halloween. I’ve been looking at some Halloween Costumes and I think if I do dress up for Halloween I will dress as Wolverine from the X-Men. I love the X-Men comic books, and I wish they would have incorporated the costumes from the comics into the movies, so I would be the traditional yellow and blue Wolverine. I mean I could go around pretending knives are coming from my hands, who wouldn’t want that power? Besides if you get hurt, your healed moments later anyway, so you have a hard time dying. I always thought it would be cool to have his powers, so the next time I dress up for Halloween I am going to be Wolverine.

I was declined for the bad credit auto loan, but I don’t know why yet. It looks like I am going to have to spend the money to get my car fixed, which is all right since I have the money. I was waiting on a few payments to come through from PayPerPost and my job and whatnot, but everything went through and I have enough money to get the compressor fixed. A couple weeks ago I was spending money on my brakes, now I need to spend money to make my car work to make it to Ohio. UGH.

I would like to go back to a real college, maybe after we move I will go to Youngstown University, or another college out there. The problem with this is that money will already be so tight, that I will probably need to get a scholarship. After I apply I might try for the Hope scholarship, I found it on scholarships, a site that is constantly updated with all the scholarship information you need to know. They have scholarships for just about every person, no matter what your interests are, or what type of work you do. Many of them don’t even go on your income, so that won’t be an issue.

Krissy and I have been loving the Jeff Dunham specials and I think I would like to see him live sometime. He is going to be in Ohio a few times over the next few months so we might go see him after we’ve moved out there. If you’ve never seen his comedy act, it is genius. He is a vantrilloquist and the way he gives each puppet their own personality is crazy. There was one show where he stopped for two minutes because one guy went up to use the bathroom. He called him out on it and continued doing so until he returned. Definitely a comic genius.

Krissy got me an ipod last Christmas, and my car doesn’t have a ciggerette lighter, so getting any accessories like that right now is pointless. Though I have seen some ipod accessories that I want, like skins for it, and the cleaning kit. When I get a new car though I will invest in an ipod charger so I can go on long trips without it dying on me, afterall the video uses more battery because of the backlight and the fact that it is color, so it is a good investment, when I get a new car. For now I have to settle for listening to it at home though, and not on long trips.

The loan paper didn’t come in the mail today, so it looks like it is going to be a quiet weekend at home. It won’t be too bad, but I washed my Paypal card so it is going to be a cheap weekend at home, until they send me the new card, or until I transfer some money to my bank account. That is all right though, because I need all the money I can get for my car.

I’ve always liked the idea of a bed and breakfast. It is my two favorite things, food and sleep, putting them together is just genius. There is one place called the kent bed and breakfast. Kent looks very beautiful, I have never gone there personally, but it looks like a place that I would want to go eventually.From the castles to the rolling hills, I think I would have a blast over there.

Has anyone ever been working with Flash and it only works on your local machine, when you hit control + enter, but when you put it on a live site it just doesn’t work no matter what? I seem to be having this problem right now, and it absolutely sucks. I need it to work online, but only works inside Flash.I have to figure this out, hopefully before we go, if we go tonight.

We are going to find out in a little while if we can go up to New York this weekend to pick up the loan. If we go then tomorrow we will be picking up said loan. With said loan we will be going to Ohio and looking for a place to live. With this place to live is going to come a whole new set of bills, electric, gas, and whole lot other bills. One thing that I am fairly confident of is that the insurance out there is going to be cheaper. I will be doing car insurance comparison between different companies out there, but because I am under 25, I don’t think I will get anything less than a hundred dollars a month, but it might be better. Car insurance is a lot cheaper out there so I shouldn’t have to worry, afterall in other places there are people paying 300-400 dollars a month just for car insurance. I don’t know about Home insurance yet, I don’t know what I will need, or if I could get a better rate if I go with the same company as the car insurance, but I will find out, just need the loan money first though.

Bungie has become an independent company once again. They said they will continue having a good relationship with Microsoft, but decided it was better to be independent. For those of you who don’t know, Bungie is most famous for making video games like Halo and Marathon. Before Microsoft brought them on board to bring Halo to their all new console, the XBox, Bungie was very happily making games on Macs. It has been probably seven or eight years since they even thought about developing on a Mac, I wonder if this split up means that they will be going back to make games for the Mac. If they do, that will definitely bring people to the Mac, because one of the main reasons PCs are so popular is because of the gaming, although that has slowed recently due to consoles having online play for most games. It still wouldn’t hurt if they went back to their Mac roots though.

There is a new search engine at www.tigertom.uk and I must say that it is an interesting concept. What it does is search not only their own database, but other search engines, to give you the most accurate results. While this sounds great in theory, it makes the search time take a while, while it connects to those other search engines. They also have one other feature that stands out, and that is that under the search bar is a graph of the most popular searches, while it is an interesting concept, and adds a splash of color to what would otherwise be a plain white page, it feels out of place on the front page. If it were on a page specifically for that, would be much better, but it definitely adds a feature that other search engines leave out. As it stands, this site isn’t going to be taking the place of your favorite search engine, but given time, if they can speed up the connectivity between their server and the other search engines, and possibly an easier to remember domain name, it could grow to be something extremely powerful.

This post contains spoilers of the 10/4/07 episode of the Office, if you do not wish to know what happened please move on to another post.

So on the Office, DwAngela is no more and PaJim was outted inadvertently by Tobey, who was very disappointed when he found out that their relationship was serious. Michael trusting the car and driving into the lake, reminds me of that commercial where the guy goes into the coffee shop listening to his GPS software. The funniest thing in this week’s episode had to be Creed. He came in with jet black hair claiming to be thirty, absolutely classic. I am glad we finally got to see Ryan admit to having a crush on Pam, why else wouldn’t he give Jim back his desk after he came back last year?

The office is getting better and better, and it is because they aren’t following conventional guidelines, this season is making me laugh even more than last season did, especially with Karen gone, she threw the entire place off balance, I don’t know why, but I never liked her. Long live the Scranton branch.

End fanboyism.
