I am feeling as though I have abandoned my website. I still post blogs, but besides putting up the Girl of the Moment there really isn’t anything new here. I have something about 95% done, and I have loads of pictures to upload, but I have been extra busy with work these last few weeks. I am working hard on two clients right now, one is almost finished, the other one is only finished when they decide they don’t want any more new stuff added right away. Don’t get me wrong I am juggling my time fine, it is just that when I am not working I can’t bear to look at a screen and I usually go lay down or go somewhere with Krissy. I also sometimes just turn the chair around to watch some television or play some GTA4. Don’t get me wrong, the stuff that is almost done will get done and eveythign I want up will be up… eventually.

I am a huge fan of the Office. There have been talks and from what I hear finalisations being made for an Office spinoff. Here is what I think would be the possible spinoffs and how good they would turn out.

Andy
An Andy spinoff might be funny for a few seconds, but when you realize that he is a more obnoxious version of Michael then I think all you have is an Office 2.0, with a different location. I think a spinoff would do better if it was completely different with the same humor, but not the same situation.

Dwight
Dwight on his own without Michael might be funny. Maybe have him running his own branch and him changing his goal from protecting Michael to taking him down since the branches would be in competition. I don’t think they would take away from the Michael-Dwight, Dwight-Jim chemistry they have perfected though. I also don’t think they would when there are obviously still feelings there for Angela.

Kelly and Darrel
I think this show could only last as long as the relationship does and I don’t think that would be very long considering Kelly seems to only be using Darrel to get Ryan jealous, but that doesn’t seem to be going very well. I think Darrel would end up killing her, or himself before the end of the series

Jan
Now that she doesn’t have Michael in her life or a job, it is time for her and the twins to go back out into the working and dating worlds. I think this show might do fairly well, maybe she ends up working at a Staples or something trying to make her way back up to the top. I think this show might do fairly well if they bring in the anti Michael for her to date.

Jim and Pam
If you’ve been watching the show the last few weeks you know that Jim is going to ask Pam to wait for him to tie his shoe. I think a show that focuses on the two of them might do fairly well, but it wouldn’t have the same impact as where they work together in an office having to deal with so many outside distractions to their relationship. I think the Jam supporters would tune in and I think it would be fairly popular, but I don’t think they would take Jim away from Dwight and loose that chemistry.

Ryan
Ryan in rehab might be funny. Maybe upon loosing his coke addiction he starts talking about Michael but nobody believes that a boss could be like that. I think the first season would play out like the Simpson’s episode where Homer is saying his problems are because of Bart but no one believes there’s a Bart until Marge mentions it, I think having the orderlies convince Ryan that Michael is in his head would be interesting and then have Michael showing up toward the end of the first season and putting him back to square one would be pretty funny. I think if they did a spinoff on Ryan it would be fairly successful.

Stanley, Kevin, Meredith, Tobey, Oscar, and the rest of the Dunder Miflin Scranton employees
These are all great characters, but I am not sure how they would play out in a series all their own. I mean Stanley leaves the show without a token black guy, but the black guy isn’t as token as Michael would like.

Kevin just seems very content at Dunder Mifflin so I don’t see him going anywhere.

Meredith might be pretty interesting. Maybe having her as a wannabe pornstar or stripper. Maybe even a hooker in her mommy van, there are some possibilities there.

Oscar as he puts it, besides having sex with men the Finer Things Club is the gayest thing about him. I don’t know if I see a series working for him unless he is the straightest gay man in a gay resort town type thing.

I don’t see how a spinoff could work for anyone else currently employed at Dunder Mifflin. I don’t think it would be Karen as the actress is on another show at the moment, and I don’t think the fans are too happy with Roy after he tried to kill Jim. Only time will tell I suppose on which Office star will be getting their own series.

The Movie DeathNote looks pretty interesting. It is another unrated movie, but it is in the horror genre and therefor should be treated like an R rating. It is based off the popular manga that tells of the story of Light Yagami, an ace student who finds a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god named Ryuk. Anyone whose whose name is written in it dies, and Light has a plan to use it against evil. Criminals randomly dropping dead doesn’t go unnoticed, and soon cops are onto Light and it soon becomes a battle of which side is really good and which side is really evil.

I’ve never seen the manga, honestly I am not too sure what a manga cartoon is, but the story sounds interesting. Seeing the movie in theaters seem to be hard to do, as there is only select theaters showing it, but when it comes out on DVD then I will definitely check it out.

My mother can’t figure out how to use her cellphone. She has had the same type of phone for over ten years and still she can’t seem to place a call on the first try without first messing something up, hitting the wrong number, or going into another option on the phone. The problem is that even though the phone is essentially the same design from ten years ago, it has gotten much smaller than the original model and the buttons and screen have gotten smaller along with the phone.

I told her about the Jitterbug a few months ago and she certainly was interested in a larger phone. She doesn’t use the phone like a young person would, so having only 60 minutes a month wouldn’t be bad for her, in fact if they offered less than that then it would probably be better, but 60 minutes for $20 a month isn’t a bad deal, especially for the amount of time she would use it. I think that she might switch over to one when her current contract runs out. I might buy her the lanyard that goes around her neck since she would most likely throw it in her purse and not be able to find it when it rings. If it is n a string, even if its in her purse she would just need to pull the string and out comes the phone.

I have never been a fan of the Guitar Hero franchise. I would still be playing Rock Band had other games not come out and take me away from it. I am liking the sound of the next Guitar Hero game though. Apparently it will have other instruments, like a microphone and a drum set that actually looks like a drum set. They haven’t released details on the guitar yet, they had to change the design since being sued by Gibson, but from what I hear it might actually be a bit more like a real guitar. It has to be considering it will be used for creating your own music and putting it on XBox Live.

That is one thing that I have wanted to do for a while, make my own music, I thought I might be able to on the Mac, and I still might be able to, I just need to finish up open accounts that I have for clients. In the future you might be able to download leprakhaun’s exclusive tracks.

The DVD for Frontier(s) comes out a few days after it is released in theaters, so if I don’t go up to Philly then I might have to wait those few days. I just wish that they would change the rules and allow unrated pictures to go in theaters. How much better could movies like Robocop, American Pie, and Clerks have been if they were allowed to go to theaters with an unrated cut of the movie? Tons of people buy the unrated movies because they have stuff in there that they couldn’t get away with under an R rating.

For a Horror movie, it is a given that you will mot likely have an R rating, and if you have less than an R rating then you had better have a good movie. The thing that I don’t understand about the ratings system though is that an R rating is no one under 17 is allowed in. How is that different than an NC-17 rating? Going to see an R rated movie should be for 18 and older, it is only one year and since everyone is an adult the unrated movies should be allowed to be shown. Who are they to say that just because your an adult doesn’t mean you can watch this type of movie in public?

The more I hear about the movie Frontier(s) the more I really want to see it. I don’t really want to see it on the small screen though (32 inches), I want to go to a movie theater and see it. If I was in NJ then I would probably take a train to Manhattan to see it, but I don’t even think I could take a train from here to Philly to see the movie. If I did I would need to drive to Georgetown to take the train and I might have to switch trains in Wilmington. Switching transportation has always made me nervous, I don’t think I’ve ever done it because I am afraid I would be stranded there between buses or trains.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the Trailer for the movie. I am warning you, the movie is unrated and has caused a lot of controversy so you might not want to watch the trailer if you don’t like horror movies. Personally I love them. I love having the crap scared out of me, so horror movies or roller coasters are definitely something I love. Speaking of scaring the crap out of me, I still want to play Resident Evil 4, my 360 has been hogging all my time and I don’t think I’ve given my Wii a fair go around. Resident Evil 4 would be a good thing to play after watching the movie though.

You know, I always thought that Lenny Kravitz had an interesting style. I mean here he is, in the 21st century wearing bell bottoms and tight shirts. I always thought it was very unique of him, especially when other African Americans are wearing Sean John, or putting out their own clothing line, Kravitz takes an original stance and goes back to the 70’s for his look. It really makes him stand out.

My style isn’t anywhere near Lenny Kravitz’ though. Mine is more like Kevin Smith. I have a trench coat and I used to wear a lot of baseball caps. I would still wear them now, but my hair isn’t as long as it was so I don’t need to worry about it sticking up when I go out. Honestly I don’t even think I own a pair of Dockers and if I do then I haven’t worn them in a long time.

Speaking of Dockers, don’t forget that there is still time to enter the Dockers contest, which is for a TV video commercial, but you don’t want to wait until the last minute to enter, you should work on it and make it as good as you can. The better the entry the more likely you are to win the contest.

Krissy and I are trying to figure out what we want to do with the rest of our lives. Now if everything pans out then I could have everything set, she could too. We’ve still been throwing around ideas though. She mentioned a flight attendant career. Now that doesn’t sound too bad, in fact flying anywhere in the world for free actually sounds pretty fun. I have always wanted to learn how to fly a plane, I gather it isn’t much hard than driving a car and isn’t much different than playing flight simulators.

For fun we looked up a flight attendant blog. I didn’t realize how much stuff their was to it, I thought it was a pretty much cushy job, though there are some not so cushy parts. In fact I didn’t realize that you had to go to a flight attendant school, I just assumed you could walk on board a flight and do that.

Banjo Kazooie 3 is rumored to be using a never before seen technology on the 360, a motion sensored controller. If this is the case then I wonder if the motion sensor will be exclusive to new Xbox 360 games, or if popular games such as Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, or Grand Theft Auto 4 will get updates to use the new motion sensor technology. I also wonder if it will be a same as before motion sensor like Sony has, or if it is going to be like the use it how you want like Nintendo has. Either way if this is true, then we should know on Tuesday, when Banjo Kazooie 3 will be shown to the press.

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.

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.
