2009

It looks like one of the E3 predictions that I wrote about the other day is true. Above are pictures of the alleged new redesign of the PSP. I don’t have a PSP, but I have played it and I don’t really see a point of a redesign without a second thumb stick, but maybe that is just me.

Also below are pictures of what are allegedly the boxes for the new PSP and the redesign of the PS3. As of right now though, the PS3 redesign is still just a rumor, but with E3 being one day away, anything is possible.

I got an email today that totally threw me off guard. Apparently I was accepted to NYIT, but I wasn’t expecting to receive an email about it since every other time I was accepted to a school it came in the mail. I guess it is a technology school for a reason. Now I just need to figure out how to afford tuition and all the fees that come along with it.

You might expect more videos from here on out, I got my video camera working again. I went to the fireworks show over the weekend and I took my camcorder out of retirement only to find that it wasn’t working. I bought some head cleaner for it and it finally came today and it fixed the problems I was having.

So we finally got cable. They came today and hooked it up. We have an HD-DVR in the bedroom hooked up to my 32 inch high definition television. It’s pretty sweet.

Besides cable, nothing much is new. Been working for clients, finished up a bunch of stuff, and have finally gained some free time, but I have been playing video games with it rather than working on anything personal. I know I have to work on the design and some new pages for prices before all my clients disappear, but when you are working so much, any break away from the computer to do what you enjoy, is a much appreciated break.

We do have a new Guy of the Moment, and that might be the last one for a while. I have one contestant all set for Girl of the Moment, and I have been putting it on Twitter, so if I get enough interest, then that will start soon. I will also be slowly making more time for the site, if you follow me on Twitter, or have looked at my what I want to do, then you will have an idea of what might be coming at some point.

It’s been a very hectic week. On Saturday when I was out picking up a Sicilian pie, I backed into someone. We decided not to go through the insurance company because if we did it would raise both our rates. Being we did that though, I had to give her $350 to fix a dent in her bumper. Oh well could have been worse.

Ever since then I have been working to get the money back into the account. I’ve got three clients that I’ve been working with in the last few days, which are taking up my time so much that I haven’t been able to update my TGP at all. It is all right though because this brings in more money. Eventually I will get back to being days ahead on the TGP, but for now it doesn’t look like that is going to happen anytime soon.

I’ve gotten a lot of feedback on GTA in my comments, I love the Grand Theft Auto series. I ended up picking up Resident Evil 5 and playing it sporadically for the last week. I somehow managed to beat the game though, I guess it was relatively shorter than 4, which I never fully completed, but I hear that it was a long game. Oh well, at lease Chris and Jill are both alive and hopefully will appear together in Resident Evil 6.

Lindsay gave me an idea for videos today. I might set up my camcorder in front of the tv and record it that way instead of making a video capture computer. I might do it one day, but right now we don’t have the room, so I may just stick to video taping a television. My only problem is that I don’t have a tripod tall enough, so I will need to rig something together.

In other news I have my transcript forms all ready to be sent out tomorrow. I also have a rental from Blockbuster so I may pick up Call of Duty, or even Halo Wars. I am not sure what I am in the mood to play yet. I have been playing a lot of GTA4, but that seems to be getting boring. I haven’t ever played through a GTA game completely, sometimes I don’t even get off the first island, I thought it might be different with GTA4, guess not. I kind of want to see what all the fuss is with Saints Row, so I may pick that up.

Believe it or not, this is my first post from WordPress 2.7.1. I can already tell that my character count plugin doesn’t work, so I will need to fix that, I suppose. I am getting less and less people interested in the word count, but for some reason that still works. I like where the new version puts it too, but since a word count is already included in the new versions of WordPress, my little plugin is obsolete. Oh well.

In work news, after weeks of having very little to do, things have finally picked up. I got one client off of Twitter, and another one off of the Social Engine Base forum. I also have returning clients asking for work, which is nice. If this continues, we might be able to afford to get a bed soon, along with some other things.

Speaking of money, we are going out tonight with Alicia and Dave for dinner. He is giving me a contract to look over and if I sign, I will be entitled to over $1000 a day if a disaster strikes and I go down in it. I would be basically working a spreadsheet to keep track of drivers who are down rescuing animals. Granted, there needs to be a disaster for that to happen, and I’d never wish anything like Katrina on anybody else, but it would be good money for a couple days worth of work.

I am going to comment back and then head out to dinner I guess. What do you guys think if I made a login here, and let people sign up, post pictures, and add features as they come? Kind of like a little social network of sorts, with the main function in the beginning being a forum? Let me know.

We were out at a barbeque at Alicia and Dave’s yesterday. As we are leaving about 1:30AM, we get to the car and find eggs on it. We called the police and filed a report. Of course nothing is ever going to come of it though, it was probably some stoned teenagers running around throwing eggs at random cars, probably the same one who was lighting off fireworks that we heard earlier in the night.

It took a good hour in 90 degree heat today to clean the car, and it still isn’t spotless. The worse part was one of my windows was cracked so it wasn’t an oven when we got back in there and an egg was forced in one side onto the passenger side of the car, so I had to clean the intererior too, which was a bitch.

We have a new Girl of the Moment. I am really excited because this time, we got over 2000 combined votes. In fact first and second place alone were well over 1000 votes each. I wish I could gain that much attention to the site when I am not running some sort of contest, but I digress. We are still accepting entries in the Guy of the Moment Contest, so if your a guy, or you know a guy, sign him up.

In other news I downloaded the Left 4 Dead Survival pack yesterday. It is fun, but I wish Microsoft would allow Achievements to free content. Either way, it is a lot of fun, I just wish they would add all new campaign modes. It might be interesting to see a school, or football stadium full of zombies you must get by.

Not everything in Texas is dumb, afterall they do have an express lane, but in recent weeks Texas has been saying that they want to secede from the Union. Now this isn’t the first time in American history that a state has tried to do this. Back in the 1800’s South Carolina tried to secede, and we had a war, we kicked the south’s ass and everyone came back together.

Now Texas, who if it weren’t for them we wouldn’t have ever had George W. Bush, wants to secede from the Union. If it weren’t for the fact that they are mainly to blame for getting us into this mess, and now they want to just run away because they don’t like the way things are being run, I wouldn’t care. I can say that if Texas does actually try to leave, we will kick their asses. We will surround their pathetic state with tanks and take every person out if we need to. We will kill everyone in Texas if necessary.

Girl of the Moment voting is now open.

I’m hoping within the next week I will have a new Girl of the Moment up. Easter was good, we went to Alicia and Dave’s and ate a lot. We also got to watch Lakeview Terrace. It was a lot better than I thought. I need to actually sit down and start watching the movies I have. I think tomorrow I am going to check out Ten Inch Hero.

Work has picked up a bit. I have a new review to do and I have been talking to new clients, and things with MyJokeCafe has picked up a bit. I’m still not in the clear though. I am hoping to get a few more clients this week, but I don’t know how that is going to play out. We will see though.

Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate. Later today I will be at our friends Alicia and Dave’s so I won’t be around much. Need to get a haircut before that though. I was going to do a video, but I am not really feeling up to it, maybe tomorrow. Either way, Happy Easter.

Dear Dick Cheney,

Shut the fuck up regarding Obama and his policies. Learn to be a Statesman and shut your hole.

That is all.
