Always A Better Deal

So I recently purchased my 8gb usb thumb drive and I'm extremely happy with it...and the fact that I only had to part with 30 bucks. Well, Future Shop has even a BETTER deal on this week. You can get this Kingston 8gb one for only $19.99. That is a FANTASTIC deal! So if you're in need of one you should really scoop this one up. Even if you don't have a Future Shop nearby you can always order this stuff online. So there are no excuses! Get on it!!!

Sick: A Four Letter Word

What weekend is this? Right, it's the LONG weekend and I am sicker than a dog. So I am NOT a happy camper right now and I've mumbled a few four letter words quietly under my breathe these past two days. So now, I must wait for this nonsense to go through it's cycle. I should be back to normal by let's estimate now...8am Tuesday morning. *sigh*

Hinterland Who's Who

I had my head turned from the television when I heard a sound I hadn't heard in a very long time. Hinterland Who's Who little tune chimed as I turned to face the TV. My heart instantly smiled as I watched a NEW version of the popular commercials of my childhood. I had no idea these were back on the air. I didn't realize how much I missed them. This is classic TV ladies and gentlemen. It really doesn't get any better than this.

Click on the website to hear that oh so famous tune! Doesn't it bring back memories???

On Call Update

My On Call shift went relatively painlessly last night. I was not stressed at all about it like I would normally be with such a new thing. I have to say, that was a very nice change...to just be able to not worry about things and take stuff as they come. I have two more nights to go and I am hoping they go as well as last night did. That would be a nice ease into it.

On a side note. I think that troubleshooting computer issues in your pajamas should be an Olympic Sport!

Big Brother Overdose

What does one do when you're on call? Why, you catch up on the million episodes of Big Brother that have been recorded by your PVR of course. Talk about being behind in my reality tv fix. I think there were 10 episodes there. I've made it through a few tonight...four so far i think. It definitely helps when you don't have to watch the commercials but it is very apparent there sure are alot of ads on television nowadays. It wouldn't be bad if the commercials had a great "entertainment" value but sadly this is not the case 99% of the time. Usually the only time you are going to see great commercials is during the Superbowl. Speaking of the NFL...I cannot wait for the start of the Seattle Seahawks season next week. WOO HOO!!! Yup, addicted to reality tv AND the NFL. *s*

The Deadliest Catch

The last episode of the season is over tonight. They are finished with the crabbing for this year and they're all getting together to shoot the shit over some brewski's at the pub. I really love this show and I'm sad it's going to be over. Looking forward to next season already!

Long Live The Discovery Channel!

Mail Call? No...On Call

So I have my first On Call shift tonight and I've been on the job for 2 months and 3 days. I'm a bit nervous being the ONLY one to support the clients but overall I am just gonna wing it. You know, my usual. There is some decent compensation for being On Call. You get paid a bit of money, you start earlier on your regular shift and leave earlier as well. The best part of being On Call though is getting “time off” in lieu of time worked. Time off is a precious commodity in my books! So anyway, I have my fingers crossed for a semi quiet evening. We'll see what transpires for me.

HP 8GB Flash Drive

I picked this little guy up on the weekend at Best Buy. For $29 I just couldn't resist. I've been carrying my old 512mb one around for a few years now. It worked well but I definitely ran into times where I needed more room to save a file...or a movie. *s* This new flash drive is a little bit longer than my previous one but it is very slim. It fits nicely in my front pocket which is where I carry it most of the time. Yes, it's the geek in me.

FotoFlexer

I found this VERY powerful and fun online photo editing program and I'm extremely pleased with it. Bookmarked it right away and you should too! I didn't have to join anything to play around with some photos which is a pretty nice thing nowadays. I just uploaded a photo from my computer and saved it to my computer when I was finshed playin'. Pretty simple interface and holy shit are there alot of tweaks you can do to your photos! You can also grab pictures from Facebook and My Space for example and post them back after you're done. Nice little option and I'm sure I will be checking that out at some point. *s*

Be sure to check it out!

Smiles

Yipee! The HTC Diamond is available for purchase at Telus. Now it's time to really make a decision. Oh whatever shall I do???

Inflation is for the birds

Edmonton Oiler mini pack tickets have gone up substantially in cost this year. That so totally sucks I just don't even know what to say. Why do our wages go up at a snails pace while every other day you seem to notice that the price of "something" has gone up again??? *sigh*

Nim's Island

I saw this movie recently and I was actually surprised at how much I liked it. I am not a real fan of kid based movies but this one was a gem that stood out. I absolutely LOVED Jodie Foster's character and of course she pulled it off very well. That's the sign of a true actor. She can give you an amazing performance in a drama and then act like a complete idiot in this film. The film left me with the warm fuzzies. I'm giving this movie two thumbs up and may just have to buy it and add it to my collection. If you haven't seen it...go rent it!!!

Coldplay - Viva La Vida

In my books this is a must have CD by Coldplay. This song, the name of the album is one of my favorites. I also really like the song Lost. Why wouldn't it be a keeper??? It has a song named 42 on it. 42! We all know that's the answer To Life, The Universe and Everything! If you didn't know that...pick up a little known book by Douglas Adams. *s* Hope you enjoy the song.

Tecnical Difficulties

I have been trying to post videos from the You Tube site for the past while now. It worked fine in the past but for some reason the last few weeks would not post to my blog. Well it seems all of my previous attempts came through at once yesterday. *shrug*

Hopefully things will be back to normal.

F-15E Maximum Vertical Climb

I wonder how long one of these puppies would take to get to Hawaii???
