Oh Yeah

My Blingo check for $50 came in a couple few days back. Im kinda sad, instead of being in the bright packaging sporting the "Blingo" logo, it was just a plain white envelope from Publishers Clearing House. Anywho, I went to the bank and cashed it. They asked,

"Will two 20's and a 10 be okay?"

"Can I have that in 2's?"

"How many?"

"25."

The 2nd Generation

So I made up my mind yesterday to hold out on the first version of the iPhone. I think the the only real problem that I heard of was that the internet was going to be kinda slow. Well, not slow, but that it will be faster on the gen. 2. The is one of the main reasons why I am purchasing it, so I want it to be good. The generation 2 iPhone will be out in the latter part of this year (October). I mean come on, it's Apple, it's expected that they will come out with version after version after version, upgrading it ever so slightly with each debut.

I looked around and found a site talking about the first version iPhone and what to expect for the 2nd generation iPhone. It didn't end on a low note when he referenced and old saying. “Pioneers get the arrows, settlers get the land." Eff that, but I agree when it comes to spending five to six hundred dollars on a phone plus another fifty bucks for the PDA plan and agreeing to a two year service. I'll wait till October.

But to anyone who purchased one today, congrats, and how is it? No doubt it's an experience.

Where's The G. D. Chicken?

I guess I got a little too mad when I stared eating a homemade enchilada and there was no chicken, just cheese. On paper it just seems like a dumb idea; cheese and a tortilla. Isn't that just a quesadilla? I wanted my G. D. pollo.. But like I said before, I guess I got a little too mad, because I let it cool a bit it, put on a movie then tried it once more. Not half bad, or as Austin put it, "Cheesy goodness." Then I started thinking about a skit by Jim Gaffigan on Mexican cuisine.

Jim: "What's in the burrito?"
Waiter: "Tortilla, cheese, meat, and vegetables."

"How 'bout the taco?"
"Uhh, tortilla, cheese, meat, and vegetables."

"What's in a toast ta-ta ?"
"Tortilla, cheese, meat, and vegetables."

That is all. G'night.

Dramatic

This lead to this, that lead to this, which lead to this, that lead to this. Gosh, I love the interwebs.

And Busted, as always, is way ahead of the game and has a tee shirt designed.

Randomness

"The greatest five second video on the internet." It truly is.

They should call it Rubin's Cube.

Baby fights to stay awake while on the couch.

Oregon Arena

Oregon plans on constructing a new arena to replace the 80 year old Mac Court. The arena would cover 405,000 square feet and include 12,500 spectator seats. It will host the men's and women's basketball teams, as well as women's volleyball and wrestling. I think one of the coolest parts is that it will have a 4 story "O" made up of thousands Oregon student pictures.

A Good Bet, Aye?

Man I'm lucky. Sign up with me on Blingo, bitches!

An Update Of The Normal Type

I am moving to nights at Costco. Instead of the dreaded 4am shift, or earlier, I will soon start work at 2pm. Tomorrow morning will be my last shift on mornings.

As per irobaSam's request, I have located our battery charger and digital video camera and plan on picking up a fire wire so that I can bring you some more videos.

Adam is a bitch for Abercrombie.

This seems like a empty update, but then again with everyone gone or getting ready to leave where ever, I haven't really been up to much.

iPhone

I just made up my mind. I'm getting an Apple iPhone when they come out later this month. I should probably wait because who knows what kind of recalls and bugs they may have. But I just got a raise a weeks couple ago, and my 1 year anniversary is coming up at Costco, so I'm gonna treat myself right. In fact I think that it comes out on my anniversary to the day, and that helps me justify that much more on spending that kind cash on a phone. Nay, the uber mecca of hand held technology.

The longest time I held a job before this was 10 months, and that was a weak ass job, so a year with Costco makes me feel good.

Update: I went and spoke with a rep. at Cingular and they said that your current plan has to qualify, and then you have to have an aditional plan added on in order to get the phone, like a PDA plan. That shouldn't stop me though.

MENERGY!

He Doesnt Even Have A First Name, It Just Says "McLovin"

At work this dude came rollin' through with two (2) full flat beds with everything he wanted already boxed, like he was some professional shopper or something. Anyway, I had to unpack all the boxes, get them ready for scanning and repack them exactly like they were so that I don't lose space and fuck everything up. It took way too long and then on top of that he asked if I would help load his groceries into his truck. Ugh.

When I got to his truck I noticed a garden hoe in the back which was for pulling his groceries forward when he unpacks them. I removed the hoe and threw everything in the back. He tried to give me like fives bucks as a tip. I let him know that if management saw me accept that, or another employee, I can't get terminated immediately, even if it was just a candy bar. The fart was persistent and tried to put it into my hand. I didn't know what else to say, so I went with my natural instinct, the native one, and grabbed the hoe, held it like I was ready to attack with a bow staff and said, "Seriously, I can't accept that!" I think I scared him a little, but I let it be known that I meant business, appreciated the kindness, but wasn't going to accept the gratuity.

"Most Annoying" List:

Car- I didn't want to choose the same car as Eric, so I think this is the next choice for "most annoying car." It looks a little different than the PT Cruiser, but has gathered just as many "gayness" points as the PT, respectfully.
Musical Artist- "Hay! I'm 'X' to the 'Z', Xzibit and I'm gonna pimp your ride. Come on!" Oh yeah, his real name is Alvin!
Food- The one place that truly never agreed with me was the Hometown Buffet. I always got the bubble-butts for a couple days after eating there.
Store- I've never said to myself, "Fuck, I need to go to Radio Shack."
Television Show- I haven't watched real TV in a long time. I've only seen a few episodes, but I learned in that time that his kids are retarded and "punishment" entails going to their personal studio to record.
Celebrity- She has a deep ass voice and looks like a bulldog 24/7.
Animal - They're just dumb.
Clothing Style- Anyone that wears pajamas ALL THE TIME. Yes, it is annoying. Pajama day at school really pissed me off.
Shoe- Aren't girls supposed to wear shoes like these?
Group of People- Conforming to non-conformity, I mean come on.

Pirates Did Say "Arr"

Some say that fossils were put on earth to test ones faith to The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost as well as the theory "Intelligent Design." Hehe. I feel the same about this article and its obvious attempt to put a small question mark in the minds of Pastafarians. Gosh dang it.

Off the Topic:
Does anyone know of a good program used for getting the songs off my iPod and onto my computer? I tried iPod trans that Sam recommended, but it would never respond when I tried to open it. I hate having to hook up my iPod to listen to music.

Fargo

Did anyone else at any point (well, before you watched it) think that Fargo was going to be a movie similar to White Fang? I hadn't heard anything about Fargo when it came out, but for some reason got the idea that it was just another dog sledding movie.

While watching the movie I was just waiting for some awkward kid to rise to an incredible task and dog sled through some life threatening snow storm and deliver a message that would save someones life...But it never happened. It wasn't boring by any means, but it absolutely nothing like I had imaged it to be, and I cant remember the last time I judged a movie so poorly. It might be because I haven't. It was a complete mind fuck. This was a couple few days ago and it's still making me chuckle when I think about it. Fuckin' Fargo.

Dude 'R' Gone

Scott has started on his way towards basic training for the Air Force. The past couple weeks have gone so fast and just seem to have been a blur. I'm gonna miss ya, buddy.

Knocked Up

I was sceptical about how Fandango works. Instead of winning Blingo movie tickets on Blingo you win Fandango movie tickets. I had never heard of Fandango and figured that they just pushed the movie ticket deal onto some other site.

Basically you go on, enter your zip code and it will give you a list of movies from a chosen theater. Then you just pick the movie and use the "use coupon" feature and enter the code that Blingo gave you when you win a movie ticket. At the theater just go to the kiosk and enter that code and "Blingo," a movie ticket pops out for whatever movie you chose.

I used my ticket to see Knocked Up last night with Scott, Donnie along with a decently large party. It's way funnier than 40 Year Old Virgin. Every single character was fucking hilarious in the movie. It was a great cast. They even showed a vag(ina) while giving birth in rapid succession. I even heard some people crying, not because they were laughing hard, but because that shit was fucking gross.
