Free Stuff Again

Friday, October 27th, 2006

A while ago (last summer) I signed up to get a free Photo iPod. I needed to get 5 other people sign up for the program in order to get it, and I only got two people to sign up. Now I’ve gotten myself into another scheme where if I get 6 people […]

Keep an Eye on Unity ‘08

Keep an eye on Unity ‘08: http://www.unity08.com/
I’m not quite sure what it is that they want to do (because I haven’t read through their entire site yet), but it sounds interesting.
A Republican/Democrat joint-ticket in 2008? VERY interesting…

Smallville Episode 604 Review: Arrow

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

Green Arrow Bandit, they call him.
Poor Oliver Queen - he’s just trying to be the “good guy” in a bad place - literally stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. That’s not quite what Lois Lane thinks, though. This episode began with more reasons to believe that Smallville has the best […]

Another Day in Newark…

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

The picture below came from a trip I took to Newark, NJ last Thursday:

It really is a shame when you think about it. This poor guy is completely covered from head to toe (yes, there’s a guy in there, I saw him move around). And this was in the “good” part of Newark […]

Lost Episode 303 Review: Further Instructions

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

I really don’t have any interest in reviewing this episode. It was good - more of the same with more questions than answers.
This is getting repetitive and old.
How did Locke end up in the jungle? Why was Desmond naked? Why did Boon show Locke all of these weird images in the airport? What did he […]

We Did It! SPAM6500!

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

In an unbelievable display of stupidity, the spam keeps on coming.
Askimet has now stopped over 6,500 spam messages and comments from being posted on this blog.
Pathetic.

Direct Loans Makes Another Mistake

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

While I was browsing through a pile of mail last night, I realized that Direct Loans made yet another mistake in processing my consolidation loan. If you can remember, over the summer they goofed up on the terms of the consolidation, marking me down as a 10-year repayer as opposed to the 25-year option […]

Smallville Episode 603 Review: Wither

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

Although Smallville started their sixth season a few weeks ago, I haven’t had a chance to comment on any of the shows on the blog yet. So whereas I was able to make comments on the first two Lost episodes, I’m just going to start the Smallville episode reviews/comments with the third episode from […]

Lost My F*cking Pedometer

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

A few months ago I bought a pedometer to see how many steps I walk in a day, week, month, etc. I figured it would be a fun little thing to have and just something interesting to monitor.
Well, being a schmuck, I had to buy the $25 pedometer as opposed to the $10 one. […]

I Played a Video Game

Monday, October 16th, 2006

One of my roommates and I went to Circuit City on Saturday. He stopped and played the XBox 360 NBA game while I played an XBox 360 Lord of the Rings game. Then I remembered how much fun video games are.
So yesterday I went to Game Stop and bought a video game. […]

Lost Episode 302 Review: The Glass Ballerina

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

Again, this was another “good” episode of Lost but there are no more answers than there are new questions. I’ve never been one for these random flashbacks that they show during the show - especially when I have to read subtitles the entire time. But I do think it is interesting to find […]

Lost Episode 301 Review: A Tale of Two Cities

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

The biggest pain in the ass about Lost is the fact that there are so many questions and so few answers. I don’t know if the writers put the show together that way, I don’t know if I’m just not reading this whole thing the right way, I just don’t know…
What I do know […]
