BlogAlmost 5 years ago, I frequented the house of
Lomar (or rather his parents) on a regular basis. Activities involved everything from driving to Belleville for the elusive "cows" taffy candy, to watching his mastery of "Resident Evil" for the playstation. It doesn't feel like 5 years since I was in his room listening to Depeche Mode and pondering life after high school, but time has flown by and I see Lomar less and less. I met
Lomar as a Sophomore when I noticed he had "Kings Quest" diskettes. This started a conversation that eventually got me into
BBS'ing and various other entertaining activities. Now,
Lomar is engaged. I'm definately starting to feel old. Perhaps a trip to Belleville is in order.
The last eyesore on my house is now gone. Today my single-pane heat-leaking front bay window is being replaced by a double-pane insulated sliding one. The update completes my window replacements throughout the whole house. The contractors that replaced my wood floor had a sweet price so I had to take it. Check out their progress on the
Gnome CamAfter I got home from work it started raining really hard then turned to hail. The weather channel had a tornado warning and the air-raid siren was going off. It was looking to be the first big storm of the season. I got all excited watching and hoping for a tornado, or at least some decent sized hail and heavy winds. After awhile though it just turned to rain, then eventually nothing. All that excitement for nothing. I'm hoping we get at least a few good storms before summer is out. All that winter almost made me forget how cool summer storms are.
A group of friends and I went to see
X-Men 2 Friday and it was awesome. Very good storyline and of course special effects. The movie definately left a good intro into a third movie, so I'm guessing X3 will be out in the next couple of years. Until then, there's the Matrix: Reloaded coming up.
I just got my
Kyocera 7135 Palm Phone in the mail and finally customized it how I want. My previous phone was the Kyocera 6035, a generation before this, that combined my PDA and CellPhone into one handy unit. This new version does that and adds an MP3/Video player, GPS Locator, and has a color screen to boot. I also get the 1x data network for 144k/s download speeds. All of this in a small form-factor that clips to my belt. The future is simplicity, and with my new Kyocera 7135, the future is now!
The past few nights, when opening my garage and staring at my beautiful
Supercharged Cougar, I've noticed small stains on the cement that line up with the supercharger compressor. Needless to say I'm not happy about it, but the stains have no smell, and only a slight color (leading me to believe it's just harmless condensation). To be on the safe side though, I'm calling Vortech and asking them about it. I have another 6 months left on my warranty and I want to get it fixed if it is indeed a problem. Fortunately this only happens on cool-down (suggesting my condensation theory is correct) and no noticeable performance issues have occured. Still, my paranoid nature makes me panic over the stains. Hopefully Vortech will hold my hand and make it all better.
The company I work for has annual vacation trips for all employees. At first it was just Cedar Pointe trips, then nothing at all, but for last year and this, we were sent to Las Vegas. Instead of gambling away my money, this time two friends and I decided to trek to Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon (8hr round trip drive). Although the drive was long, it was relaxing compared to Michigan drives. The desert is definately my choice for commuting.
Here are Pictures from the trip. It was alot of fun, and hopefully I'll be able to go back and spend more time at both places.
In a
previous update, I posted the latest internet fad, the line "It's a Trap!" from Admiral Ackbar in Star Wars. This reminded me of the famous
Terrible Secret of Space and of course, "All Your Base Are Belong to Us." Internet originated comedy is the only kind that can make me laugh for days without really understanding why.
InternetMenace came back from Florida for a visit so we decided to have a going away party for Enorym. As you can see the alien baby in a jar played a key part in the festivities. We watched "Rat Race" and InternetMenace got to peel out in Stavos' Trans Am.
Party PhotosI have a written final in Criminology on Monday, and a multiple choice/short answer exam in Computer Networking on Thursday. I also have a court appointment for my speeding ticket the same day as my networking exam. Lots to look forward to this coming week. Fortunately the weather will be crappy this weekend so I might actually get some studying done.
