I have been really tired lately. I don’t know if I am sick or not, but I know that by 6:00PM I am tired and in bed by 10 or 11PM, and this is highly unlike me. I am also now waking up around 8:30-9:00AM. Normally I wake up around 1 or 2 and stay up until 4 or 5AM. I like that schedule much more, I seem to get more done. Oh well, I think I am going to try having a lot of coffee today and getting to bed at 2AM tonight.
Does anyone else hate writing out envelopes? I have horrible handwriting so when I am done writing out their address and my address I look at it and wonder if anyone else will be able to read it, since I hardly can. It isn’t just that my handwriting is bad, it is also the fact that there aren’t any lines on envelopes, so I am going all over the place when I am writing. I can never seem to get it straight, it always curves downward.
Lately I have been trying to print envelopes instead of writing them, but the going to address comes out, but the coming from address is always messed up. I think I might try investing in some Mailing Labels. At least with those I know that the writing on them is perfect and all I have to do is worry about if it is on straight or not.
Whoever came up with the idea of address labels is a genius. I mean he was probably someone who couldn’t write straight themselves so he figured he would have it printed up, then people probably were in awe of them and started paying him for them. That’s what I imagine happened, of course I could be wrong.
Did anyone see the Sarah Connor Chronicles last night? I know some fans are saying that how can they do that and ignore Terminator 3, but the truth is with time traveling if someone goes back in time it can cause a butterfly effect and change the future as they know it. If you don’t want to be spoiled with last night’s episode then stop reading here.
So last night after Sarah leaves her fiancee, she and John end up in what he refers to as a hick town. His second day of school there is a substitute teacher taking role call, as soon as he gets to John’s name he takes out a gun and fires at him, seeming to kill one of his classmates, Cameron. As John is chased down in the parking lot, Cameron hits him with a truck and tells John he should go with her if he wants to live.
They wind up picking up his mother and they go on the run. After a few battles with the Terminator and Sarah getting shot, they end up in a bank where they tell the tellers to lock them in the vault and get away from it. They start building a weapon to stop the Terminator who is on his way to the bank. They also unveil some computers in the safety deposit boxes. As an electric current is forming around them the Terminator busts in and is then shot by the new weapon.
The next scene is all three of them on a highway naked. They rush to a construction site where the date reads 2007, 8 years into the future. Judgement Day is supposed to happen in 2011, so in 2007 they are going to end the work that has just began on it.
From the previews for tonight’s episode, it looks as though Cameron might be hiding something from Sarah and John, plus it looks like the Terminator waited it out for them to return, so it is going to be an interesting series. If every episode is even half as good as the pilot, then I think it has a shot. I just hope Fox doesn’t cancel it like it does to so many other good shows.
Working from home I hardly ever have to wake up early or be anywhere at an early time. I haven’t really had to be anywhere early on a regular basis for over a year. I remember when I had to be up at 6AM to be somewhere at 6:30 or 7, sometimes I would hit the snooze and then I wouldn’t have enough time to make it into the shower before I had to leave. I don’t know about other people, but if I don’t shower for a day my hair gets oily and I feel disgusting the rest of the day.
I didn’t know that they had dry shampoo for when you don’t have time to shower. Personally I have never used it, but if it works the way it is supposed to work then I wouldn’t have felt have as disgusting if I had used it. I sometimes just feel lazy and I don’t shower everyday, especially on those days when I don’t really feel like doing much, like today.
Because I didn’t shower today, it goes without saying that I didn’t shampoo my hair either, so it is a bit oily. Now if I had some powder shampoo I could throw it on my head and be fine. I think I might get some for the down days.
I am waiting for January 31st before I get excited about television again. Why? Smallville and Lost return with new episodes. I love both shows, and I wish that the Writer’s Strike didn’t affect the great shows, but I understand why. I just wish it would have a bigger impact on the outcome of the strike so that it would be resolved sooner. Oh well, I will take what I can.
Today I made a Great Discovery: www.ZenniOptical. They sell eyeglass frames and lenses at a fraction of the cost of going to a retail store. How can they do that? Because they own what they sell, they aren’t going through a distributor to sell the stuff. This is great for me because I could use a new pair of glasses. I just need to figure out what my prescription is and then send it off to them.
I wish that I could bet at an online casino. It would save a lot of money than going to a vegas casino, or even an Atlantic City Casino. There would be no airfare or ferry costs and I could sign on whenever I wanted. I think I would be a lot more in the hole than I am now though. I don’t know we have been stuck lately and we have been trying to use a casino to get unstuck. We lost more than we won though, so it isn’t really helping. I think if the casino games weren’t so fun then we might be able to quit without losing so much though.
Adbrite changed their TOS recently and never notified me, or anyone for the matter. Now many companies feel that it is the user’s responsibility to check the TOS for changes, but according to a court it is the companies responsibility to notify changes in the TOS. They disabled my ads until they get around to reactivating them. I had to change the format because they failed to contact me. I am sure that I could sue and get compensation, but I won’t. I am just informing everybody of what happened and maybe helping someone who has a problem like this.
I hated writing term papers. I mean I like to write, don’t get me wrong, but writing about something that I have no interest in is completely boring. I would just BS a lot of my papers in high school and college and still get an A. I thought about getting online term papers, but I knew that if I did that then there was a possibility of getting on academic probation. I mean they are fine if you are just using them as examples, but if you are going to hand them in then it would be wrong. I mean if I had to write something that I had no clue about such as a Business Dissertation or a Finance Thesis then I might buy one to look over and make sure it is in the right format, but otherwise handing it in as your own work is wrong and can get you in a lot of trouble.
So 2008 just started and I am already brainstorming on how to make this the best year for Lep’s Lair and the best year for Lep. I have ideas for videos and picture blogs, plus I have a couple side projects that are nearing completion. The truth is that you will be hearing more of me than ever in the coming weeks and months. Here’s to the year of the Lep.
I want to play backgammon. Unfortunately I am not home so I have to resort to playing online backgammon. I have no problem playing backgammon online, but I am not that good at the game so playing it against others is embarrassing. I normally play against the computer back home, so playing with a wide range of skills is not only embarrassing but nerve racking. Every time the other person starts to win I want to throw the computer. It sucks!
Warner Brothers has officially dropped support for the HD-DVD format, making the Blu-Ray support stronger than ever. The war is far from over, but with support from Warner Brothers, Sony, 20th Century Fox, and Lionsgate, Blu-Ray looks to be gaining more and more speed. In all honesty, I would go out and buy a Playstation 3 if Blu-Ray is the winner, but I honestly doubt that we have heard the last of HD-DVD, afterall rumors are running rampant that the XBox360 is going to have a built in HD-DVD player version soon, which might boost sales of the format. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
