2008

I am looking to reconsolidate my credit cards. I don’t know if we could reconsolidate the loan and the cards all together, so right now I am my main focus is getting the two cards of $4000 total down on one card with a lower than 20% interest rate. I have been checking out a credit card rating now more than ever, so I can see how well they pan out. I need one that I can get a really low interest rate with, otherwise what is the point of putting the two cards onto a new one? I just want to end up paying less what I am paying now, or pay the same amount now at a lower interest rate so that I can pay them off quicker.

I stole Krissy’s Photoshop CS3 for Dummies Book. Hopefully I can use it to create some fun, interesting new graphics for my site.I remember the first Dummies book I ever had was DOS for Dummied. That was way back, before Windows 95, when Windows 3.1 was out. I used that book to fix, and break the old computer I had. Of course after I broke it as long as I had the DOS disks I knew I could fix it.

I am surprised that the books are still around today, after all it has been well over ten years of calling people dummies, but I guess as long as the book is helpful then people mdon’t really care what you call it.

Has anyone seen the trailer for the movie Frontier(s)? The movie looks gross and scarey, with a lot of gore. Basically it is everything you need for a Horror Movie. It doesn’t look like your ordinary horror movie though, it isn’t about a hockey masked killer in the woods, it is actually about a group of thieves who rob a bank and then go to stay in a run down motel, but little do they know the motel is run by Nazi cannibals.

This seems like one of the movies that I would go see in theaters, but the problem is that I would need to go all the way up to Philadelphia to see it. If it was closer then I would definitely be there opening night. The DVD comes out a few days after its openning night in theaters though, so it isn’t like I will be waiting long to see the movie.

Krissy usually hates these kinds of movies, but I wonder if I could get her to watch Nazi cannibals trying to mutilate and torture thieves. It is probably a lost cause, although it never hurts to try right? I’ve done harder things in life than convince my girlfriend to watch a horror movie with me.

As a child in school I was promised, as I am sure a lot of you were, a flying care by the year 2000. They also promised that we’d be living on the moon, but I am more concerned with the flying car. Well after years of waiting, I finally realized that my dreams of flying my car in the air is never going to happen, at least not anytime soon. I think a lot of people realized that too, that’s why instead of a flyable car, they are working on a drivable airplane. It is targeting the first commercial vehicle be in the air by 2009. Me being able to fly by 2010, possibly? Definitely sounds good to me.

I like loose pants. Some people say that I look like a bum, but I like to be comfortable above fashionable, so I don’t really care what people say. No matter what kind of pants I wear, jeans or Dockers, I like to have room to move, room to be comfortable. Tight pants annoy me, I always feel restricted in them. Even when I wear a suit, I like my pants to be somewhat loose on me because if they are too tight I just want to rip them off of me and not have them on anymore.

I own a lot of really big pants, ones that are probably about ten sizes too big for me, and they are comfortable, but my favorite pair have to be this two tone pair that I have. They aren’t so loose that they barely fit, but they aren’t annoyingly tight. They are a nice fit, plus I think I look pretty good in them.

What are your favorite pair of pants like? Are they loose and baggy or are they so tight they make your package or your butt look really nice? You can enter a chance to see your ad on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. All you have to do is make a video talking about your favorite pair of pants and submit it into the Dockers contest.

When Eli Stone debuted, a guy with George Michael in his head singing songs and telling him which cases to take sounded dumb. As the show continued and I watched it after Lost, the show grew on me. So when the season finale came and the show’s fate was in the air, I was disappointed that it could be all over. ABC announced yesterday that the show was going to come back for season 2. It definitely is something that I will be watching next season.

Trying to stay on top of the latest technology is expensive. I still use Windows XP and if I were to upgrade to Windows Vista, the Ultimate one, it would cost me about $400. I couldn’t just buy the upgrade either, with the amount of times I have uninstalled and reinstalled Windows, having just the upgrade would be useless to me.

I don’t even use Microsoft Office because that too is really expensive. I might go to CostCaptain though. They have Microsoft Office for $129. That is a lot cheaper than going out and buying it in a store. They also have Viosta Upgrades from $89, and the full versions for a lot less than the regular retail value.

I cut up wax on a smelly candle because I burned the wick, but the wax was making the flame go out, so I had to dump the wax in a separate container than the wick. I was bored so I cut up the excess wax and to my surprise it smells better than when the candle was burning. I guess cut up wax has more smell than hot wax?

Everything on Lep’s Lair is basically for my business, if you want to look at Lep’s Lair as a business. It technically is in some ways, but I don’t really see it as that. If I did, then I would find more ways to keep things better updated. What I mean is that I would have a Pos System set up so I can scan in my DVD’s and then have a constantly updated DVD collection, because I have a lot of DVDs that aren’t on the list. I plan on adding them all in eventually, but having something automatic would defintely help.

I could probably think of a whole bunch of other things that I could use to make things easier. If I ever wanted to do in depth movie, or video game reviews then I would need the funding to go on the day they come out and watch, or pick up the item and do an in depth review. If I wanted to do anything like that though I would need Business Funding, or at the very least one or two Unsecured Small Business Loans. If I had that kind of money though then I could put it into some advertising and maybe even paying someone to make me some more graphics for the site.

GTA4 and Halo 3 were the games that I most wanted, and now that I have them I wonder what game will be next that catches my interest. Doom 4 was announced, but after the debacle that was Doom 3, I don’t think I even want to go anywhere near that. Metal Gear Solid 4 looks pretty sweet, but I don’t want to buy a Playstation 3 to play it. Besides it might come to the 360 like the other Metal Gears eventually did. I don’t think I will be getting tied of GTA4 anytime soon though, between the online play, the promise of DLC, and the hugeness that is essentially all of New York City, I don’t think I will get tired of GTA4 until the next one comes out.

A while ago I signed up for SocialSpark to help make some money off my site. I haven’t made much with them because my blog is set to /wp/ and they won’t take a Real Rank for subfolders, only for domains. They also heavily rely on Javascript which can be annoying if my computer is on for days on end, which it usually is. I also wish the design was easier, like I wish I could view all my friends on one page like Myspace, and also not have to have a separate advertiser profile, with a separate everything. It would be much simpler if everything was tied together.

Despite these things that I don’t like, I do like the overall feel of the site. I like how everyone can be an advertiser and a blogger. I also like how they kind of incorporated everything their company does into this one entity. I think they set up a great thing with PayPerPost and then everyone copied them so they went and did their own new thing which would be harder for other people to copy, afterall who wants to make a whole networking site when you have a paid blogging one. I think it is a good thing all in all.

I finally sat down and watched Fantastic 4:Rise of the Silver Surfer. It wasn’t as good as I would have hoped. I liked the first one, but I thought that it was kind of bland. This one suffers from the same fate. The blandness is actually a lot less with the appearance of Galactus and the Silver Surfer. I always loved Galactus in comic book form so seeing him in a movie, no matter what form he takes, is still pretty cool. I hope when they do the Silver Surfer movie that we actually get to see what he looks like. The whole cloud thing was kind of a cop out.
