Weird

I am writing this to kind of see if anyone else has had this experience. I often find myself driving down the road and as I approach a street lamp it goes out. At first it was always this one particular one which I just blamed on a bad bulb, but now it has become much more random, sometimes they are lights in town and sometimes they are just those lights at intersecting roads. Its really odd and I am kind of curious if anyone else has ever noticed lights do this to them. Also I would like to add that sometimes the lights come back on after I am a ways away.

Its a case of the Moooondays

So its Monday, and its snowy out, therefore I didnt go to delta since they are bound and determined to be open no matter what. I do have to make the treck there by 4 for work but until them I am just kickin it. I am pretty pumped about heroes tonight and I think everyone else should be too, if you dont know why, here you go.

First off, Peter has finally become awesome and able to use all his various powers, and last week he was amazing. I was rediculously excited when he started doing all the crazy matrix stuff lol.

Secondly, Tonight we find out a lot about Claire's fake dad and why they are tracking all these people and everything because Matt Parkman ( the psychic cop), Ted (the nuke) and some crazy chick who can go anywhere on the internet without a computer are camped out at Claire's house and caught Claire and her Father as they walked in. This episode should explain a lot of questions people have had going since the first episode.

You all need to watch it tonight at 9 on NBC, and when you get done leave some comments or leave some comments now I dont care, but lets discuss how awesome this show is.

I am also working on getting my weekend recap up, but I am going to try and include some pictures, and I also am lazy, so it just hasnt happened yet.

Kind of Funny

So I got to watch this dishwasher get dropped and was fairly amused by it, so here you go.

Oh Snap

So a few months ago my video card broke on my PC, I finally decided to send it back to newegg before my warranty ran up. Unfortunately they informed me that my video card was no longer in stock or discontinued so they could not replace it. Instead they refunded my original amount paid. Interesting that they didnt just replace it with a slightly better video card considering by giving me my full refund, I now can buy a video card and get a brand new warranty on it. Anyways here is my new vid card, on its way expected to be here monday or tuesday.

EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card

Its Wednesday, the top of the hill my friends!

So seriously, I haven't wrote in awhile, I don't really know what to attribute to that because I definitely haven't been busy. Basically just to give you an idea of major stuff going on in the last week, my birthday was Sunday, ghost rider came out Friday, and I have been on again off again emo or something/have a migraine.

It is kind of funny about the migraine thing because I never used to get major headaches or anything and migraines kind of seemed like a foreign thing to me, but for the past two to three days I have had this headache non stop. Sometimes it is not so bad other times it makes me not even want to focus on objects. It is pretty much intense. I am not sure what is really causing it other then maybe stress because I have to take an econ test and maybe me being emo I don't know.

You know what I forgot to add to the list of major events in the past week, Heroes. Heroes was pretty much amazing Monday because Peter seems to have control over all the powers he has absorbed now and pretty much owns. If you don't know what I am talking about you definitely need to check out this weeks episode.

On topic though, to cover the other major events. My birthday was Sunday like I said, I turned 22. Not a huge number or anything but I never really like the numbers going up anyways ha. Adam and the crew took me out to buffalo wild wings Saturday and paid for my dinner. After eating we headed over to the midland theater to watch Ghost Rider, which I thought was actually pretty decent even though Nicholas Cage is in it. I should also note that I tend to like the heroes that aren't perfect and tell people to fuck off once in awhile, i.e. the punisher or ghost rider.
Sunday I went to my grandparents house to have a party with the family, there was cake and ice cream and all that jazz and I think everyone had a pretty decent time. After that I stopped over at the Davis's and just hung out there for awhile until I went out to midland to watch "The Marine" at JR's. The movie was ridiculously unrealistic but if you are into that kind of crazy action movie then you probably wont be overly disappointed.
This upcoming weekend we are celebrating Adam's birthday so to start it off I think the plan is to see the number 23 that comes into theaters Friday. I imagine there will be a lot of other festivities but I don't really know the exact details.

Tomorrow is pizza night at work. Hopefully Lisa remembers that it is her week to tip the pizza guy so she brings money for it.

Owned

So I went to get another cherry coke from the kitchen in Adam's apartment. When I went to enter, Adam was trying to get in there as well so I talked some smack and slapped my legs and somehow caught my manhood a little bit and fell down.. Picture courtesy of John.

Good Times

It was a slow Thursday night at the Audio/Visual. James was listening to some song on his iPod, Lisa and I were playing sudoku on my laptop and listening to iTunes, and Angela was hovering around waiting for the 9pm to strike. We soon noticed that James could not hear us because he was rocking out that hard. Angela decided to hand him a yardstick and the fun insued. Watch the video.

Alright

So I am just going to write a little something down for you here. Lets start with digital imaging yesterday, yesterday being valentines day, the holiday that only applies to some percent of the population that doenst have me in it lol.

Prior to digital imaging I received a box of Necco Conversation Hearts, which I began eating. While I was bored in digital imaging, I consumed the entire box. It wasn't that I was bored with the class, I like photoshop and I enjoy learning it, but we were making Earth Day posters for Delta and it kind of melted my brain cells so the candy helped me through it. Then about the third hour in my tummy made a rumble, as it turns out my stomach does not enjoy all the sugar I suddenly had in abundance. I turned to my friend Ben and stated the problem and he kind of laughed about it. He is a pretty funny guy, yesterday in the middle of class he made a comment about something about someone named charles, and I started singing/humming the charles in charge theme song, which he picked up on and also began singing it was kind of weird but hilarious at the same time. The entire back two rows of class I am in are filled with some really funny guys so we always have a mildly good time.

By the way, if you didnt look at the last post, it is my earth day poster that I have to turn in monday, leave some feedback on it so I know what to change.

So catching us up to today, I have a little economics coming up followed by the lovely night ahead at audio/visual which will probably make me want to pound my head through a wall. Honestly it shouldnt be that bad, because its thursday and thursdays are always pretty laid back, pretty much we get everything done by 6ish, then we relax and hang out.

My birthday is this sunday, so it is my birthday weekend as Adam reminded me which means I get to make some calls on what we do while we are all hanging out this weekend. So far the only demands I have made is racquet ball on saturday and ghost rider. If anyone wants to come hang out this weekend or whatever and needs a little info give me a call, if you dont have my number try to find someone who does or email me at reidic@gmail.com because honestly not going to just post it lol.

Cereally though I am going to wrap this randomness up and let you get on with your day, after this weekend I will have a nice blog entry detailing all the events probably so check back.

LEAVE FEEDBACK ON EARTH DAY POSTER

Calling all Critics

So basically the assignment is designing a poster for Delta College's celebration of Earth day. We have to use the delta green, use the pine tree in some way, and include the saying " where are color will always be green" Discuss!

The Wall of Quotes

So a few weeks ago Adam put some large sheets of paper up on his wall of his apartment for everyone to write on. The idea was that whenever we said something funny or worth remembering we would write the quote up on the wall. Today we took that idea and put it online so everyone could read the random comments thrown out there. Feel free to check it out at http://thewallofquotes.blogspot.com/

New Phone

Well I got a new krazr through cingular Friday. It is a pretty awesome little phone, and I like it a lot better then the nextel phone I had. I still have the same phone number so no one has to change my number in their phone. I think my favorate thing about the phone is the fact that I can just toss mp3s onto the phone via the bluetooth and use them as a ringtone, basically I will never have to buy a ringtone ever again.

It is kind of funny because the agent at the bay city cingular told me that it would take anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours for the number to be changed over from nextel to my new phone. I waited an entire day and at 3pm the next day (Saturday), I left Adam's apartment and headed straight to the midland cingular, and as it turns out it would of been done the night before if the agent would of remember to have me listen to the contract over the phone and agree to it. Nice.

Serious though, if anyone is thinking about switching cell providers an plan on switching to cingular, or need me to talk you into cingular let me know so I can get some referance money towards my bill lol.

Almost Forgot!

Today I reaffirmed that I may indeed show some minimal signs to being psychic. I was standing at the desk at audio/visual and I turned to James and ask, " dude did the phone just ring" since he was standing in front of it and didnt answer it. He looked at me kind of funny as if I were crazy and stated that in fact it hadn't. There was a bit of a pause with some odd expressions exchanged and then it happened, the phone rang. The look on James face as he looked at the ringing phone, then at me was pretty intense to say the least. After he answered the call, he looked at me and told me, " that was creepy...dont ever do it again". That was that. True Story. (I say that a lot or so Lisa informs me)

Viva la Ubuntu

So my brother made the switch to Ubuntu Linux today from Windows XP. He originally wanted to update to the new Vista, but the more we hear the more it sounds like a bad thing, so in search of something new and different we checked out Linux. So far he is enjoying it, everything is running smooth, and it was really easy. If anything goes wrong I will pass the word onto the world.

I would also like to say I did try to covert him to mac, but he doesnt really have the money to buy a whole new computer, so it wasnt really an option considering he cant install OS X on his pc lol.

Current Photoshop Project

This is what I am looking at turning in Monday for my digital imaging, leave some feedback on what you think.

Eureka

So I have had a bit of writers block for a few days, kind of lost focus due to some other stuff and frustrations, but that has calmed down so here we go. First off let me start off with how pumped I am about ghost rider that comes out 2/16 which is the weekend of my birthday, I definately want to see it. Secondly Heroes was AMAZING the other night. I just want to say, " I told you so" to everyone who I told Nathan Patrelli was Claires dad.

Onto real life, it is sounding like this weekend holds some racquetball on friday followed by some season 2 of scrubs. I am sure there are some pizza rolls involved too, which is awesome. I havent done much else yet this week. Every weekday consists of Delta, then coming home, eating, and watching Scrubs. It sounds kind of repetitive and boring but I enjoy it.

Thats really all right now, I am sure more will come later. Be sure to check out the new mac commercial poking fun at Vista's security features.

Super Bowl Weekend

Alright so its saturday morning and tommorrow is the big football game. While most people are pumped about some great rivalry or some history making head coach stuff blah blah blah, I just want to see the new commercials lol. The only downside is the shitty half times ever since that whole Janet Jackson thing.

Meanwhile I did see "The Messengers" last night after eating at buffalo wild wings and watch the red wings game. The movie was pretty good, I enjoyed it, I also jumped out of my seat a few times, Shelson can attain to that. It reminded me another movie I saw a few years ago, I am pretty sure it was Cold Creek Manor. The story lines were very similiar, but the way they shot certain scenes, and the accompaning music was well done in this newer movie.

Nice!

So I added, what I think, is a cool feature. Basically it will tell you the stories I am "digging" at digg.com, so if you see something interesting you can click on it and it should take you there.

Give it a try, keep an eye on it, and let me know what you think.

Also I love Digg.com and I recommend everyone give it a try for a week. Its free and everything, its just a really neat community driven news system.

Good Buy on iTunes

Alright so I heard the new Relient K song a month or so ago, and decided I liked it so much that I would go on iTunes and purchase it. It turns out you can only buy the little mini album it is on, this album consists of two songs but costs the same as buying a single song. Basically they are packaging their current single with this other song called "Fallen Man".

The first song, the one I actually intended on purchasing, "Must Have Done Something Right" is pretty good, and is a basic poppy happy song about liking some girl or something. BLAH BLAH IT'S SAPPY AND GIRLS SUCK ANYWAYS. Anyways, I like it, and it is catchy.

The second song, "Fallen Man" which, like I said, came packaged with the first song, is AMAZING. I like it a lot, it basically talks about this person he has hard feelings with and how they are lucky its God that judges them and not him, but also there is always a second chance to redeem themselves.

Its pretty much amazing, seriously, check it out.
