I'm Not Normal?!

January 23, 2006

I'm Not Normal?!

No news flash there. No siree Bob, I’m definitely not your normal typical run of the mill blogger posting every single day about my life, political leanings, views on religion, cut ‘n pasted joke dumps or ranting about the aggrevating tendancy Google has of cluttering up all my adult-oriented searches with tons of kid friendly G-rated results. I turned SafeSearch off for a reason you bleeping bleep bleep bleeping bleepers! Stop it! (Although on a side note thank you Google Image Search… *drool* pant!pant! *drool*).

Nor is my blog normal, but that’s alright since (a) it’s my blog (b) I don’t care about normal things and © apparently Gundar: Destroyer of Worlds is napping and unresponsive. Sure © has nothing to do with anything save for explaining the reason why I have time on my hands right now to write this entry. :)

I don’t write daily entries here, talking about politics, depressing events of the week or causes/agendas I believe in. I do it to attract chicks. Blogs are babe magnets and I wanna score more action. (By “attract chicks” I mean repel, by “babe magnets” I’m referring to ladies with adam’s apples and by “action” I’m referring of course to crying alone in a dark corner of my room, nekkid, sucking my thumb.) What? I’m honest, so sue me. Besides, I didn’t tell your cerebrum to display that visual…*cough*yourparentsnaked*cough* Ok, that one’s my fault. Lalalala, hehehe.

With that said I now do a day(s)-in-the-life post. Oh come on like you’re surprised after the rant? You must be new here.

What I’ve Been Up to Lately

1. A few weeks ago I went to CES (the Consumers Electronic Show) and as yet have not put up the pictures. Nyah. Unlike last year though I promise I will eventually put them up. Apparently I get distracted by little things like shiny objects with sleek black fronts, life, new blog redesigns and scoring cool stuff for free. Blech.

2. I am currently listening to the coolest thing; a tiny, great sounding white stereo powered by my freaking iPod!

3. Speaking of the iPod, I had to pick up some Nano-related accessories for it. I got some clear film ($6) and an aluminum hard-case ($10) to help protect it. I’m still looking for a reasonably priced clear acrylic case w/a belt-clip for it but alas my search is fruitless. Also, because I lack good headphones I picked up two pairs, the Philips HS386 w/Bass Beat (a small white pair of lightweight behind the neck/over the ears headphones for when I’m out an about - $14) and the Panasonic XBS RP-HT227 ($19) foldable ear cup jobbies for my listening pleasure at home.

4. Oh yeah, I almost forgot - I picked up 15 AAA 850mAh nickel-metal hydride batteries ($15) when I bought those headphones. Sorry I almost left you guys out NiMHs…

5. I redesigned my blog and can’t freaking believe how good it came out. I love looking at it! The color scheme and redesigned layout’s awesome!!

6. I found a really cool Vegas shirt ($17) at JC Penny’s. Strange enough I’ve never bought a Vegas shirt… I guess I was waiting all this time for it.

7. Did anyone mention that cool dinner at the Outback I was at Friday with all my sisters? No? Well, I just did. Hysterical fun all around, always! We HAVE to start podcasting our conversations…

8. Steve Jobs tried to kill my PC. Details later.

9. I finally bought what I’ve been wanting to get for AGES, The Complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus 16-Ton Megaset DVDs! Every Monty Python Flying Circus skit is now mine! Who the heck could resist that?! Frodo couldn’t. %^$#@ing cool, dudes! %^$#@ing cool!

10. I’ve been watching a pretty durned good sci-fi series on NBC called Surface. Who would have thought a good sci-fi show would come from an old stodgey public channel? Oh and a special shout-out goes to the Sci-Fi channel for rebroadcasing the previous week’s show as well as the last 4 every once in a while which helped me catch up when I accidently missed 2 episodes.

11. I’ve been practicing my juggling a little more. No ball jokes or mimes, please.

12. New episodes of Stargate SG-1, Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica are on. Why aren’t you watching them? Huh? *poke* I mean it.

13. Got my car smogged and resgistered. “Resgistered” ? Registered.

14. Today, the apartment complex office was getting rid of some computer equipment and I nabbed over $300 in brand-new laser printer toner for my HP 5L printer! SCORE! (I also nabbed 2 toner cartridges for HP 4 series lasers). Sweet! What were the odds that they had the exact toner for my 10+ yr old printer? I loved the cool background music the office played on my way out with all that toner: woo! woO! wOO! WOO! WOO!WOO!WOO! WOOOO! The lights were flashing too, I felt like a supermodel!

15. I stayed up late with Minnietaur laughing our butts off over the phone thanks to iPodlaughs, a site that shows you fictitional iPod engravings amongst other things. The inscriptions are hysterical!

That’s it for now folks. As you can see I have been a busy little bee.

Buzz buzz buzz… off I go. Buzz buzz buzz…

Vinnie,

Every time I'm the first poster, you get like 12 comments commenting on what I said, so I let our friends be first. :D As for your iPod, you've talked me into saving for a 60GB iPod Video. Darn you evil Vincent! Mwhahaha!

Shannon: that's awfully nice of you; thanks. Question: why do you want a video iPod compared to a music based player? The music ones last way longer than video players. Can you deal with such a tiny screen? Just curious.

Vinnie,

I want a Video Ipod because my niece heard bad things about Ipod Nanos. I would rather use the Video IPod for music than video. You are right, the video screen is tiny, but I just want it for music. Besides an Ipod Nano is not big enough to hold all of my music (4 GB) as compared to a video iPod (Which has between 30 to 60 GB). That would be a lot of music to play. :D

Shannon: sounds like you've thought it all out. The first thing I did in looking around for accessories for my Nano is ordering a hard case + clear protective film to protect it. Until the film comes in I am handling it with GREAT care. When docked it is out of the case, when it's out and about into a hard case it goes. I LOVE it! It's the perfect size for music I'd listen to but I am still incredulous as to how freaking small it is. I do feel sorry for the people with white nanos though as everyone knows black is where it's at...
