Lets Race!

My fiance has finally finished all the crash sections of the game Burnout 3. Now its time for me to get my groove on and do some hard hitting RACING! Anyone with a freakin pulse and an Xbox need to try out this game! So much for working out tonight, tonight is race night!

Challenging

My kitten Nala has a problem recently with scratching herself. This started to happen after she received her routine shots. I let it go on for a few weeks to see if she would stop on her own. So far she hasn't so I took her to the vet again to see what can be done. Well they gave me these pills that might help make her stop scratching since it's supposed to ease the itchy area of her internally.

Well any pet owner knows that trying to give any animal a pill is hard stuff. This is made even harder since Nala doesn't like to stay still or be confined in any way. Thumper I have no problems with, he'll take a shot in the ass and not even meow. Now the area that Nala is scratching is around her neck area. The vet recommended I use wet food or something but I know that Thumper will eat it if he sees or even hears a can pop open. My only recourse is to try and hold her down. Hence my CHALLENGE twice a day. This involves grabbing her by the back of her neck (where it itches) and prying her mouth open and forcing her to swallow a pill. I've tried the nice way but this seems to work best. The only bad part is then she hates me for a few hours and runs away. I hope she stops itching so I don't have to keep on giving her pills forcefully.

My new addiction

OK so this weekend I went out with my fiance and got a new Xbox game called Burnout 3: Takedown. I've read some reviews on the game and since they were pretty good I got it used at EB Games. Talk about addictive game play! I don't normally like racing games because they're kinda boring since you go round and round a track or something. There are many reasons to love this game but I'll just name a few.....

Reason 1: TAKEDOWNS!
One of the coolest freakin things you can do in this game is take out your opponents. Most of the other driving games I've played punish you for hitting someone or something but this game actually rewards you for hitting a rival into a wall. Now thats just impressive all on its own and a reason why I am addicted to playing this game.

Reason 2: Crash Mode!
This is the mode my fiance plays the most since I'm really good at the driving part and beat her often. This one is totally bad ass. You get a car, some boost to go uber fast, and then you find a spot in an intersection with tons of cars and you just plow your way into it. The point? To cause the most damage of course!! My fiance is really good at this part of the game, we're talking millions of dollars worth of damage wheras I can only maybe manage a few hundred thousand or so.

Reason 3: Unlockables!
So far I've had the game for about a day and already with the help of my fiance, we've gone through around half the game. We've unlocked a ton of cars and new race tracks that just keeps us coming back for more and more. When will it end???

Well thats it in a nutshell, if you own an Xbox, you MUST get this game. When I get home from work, I'm turning on my Xbox for some Burnout bliss :)

A gross gift from my cats

This morning was starting out OK. I got up, said goodbye to my fiance who had to go to the dentist, thought how awesome it was that it was Friday and that tonight is bowling night but what greets my eyes is a strange gift from one of my cats. I don't know which one of them did it but one of them decided to throw up their dinner near the scratching posts. Now this isn't a real big deal mind you since only the cats roam around the scratching post area but still it was pretty gross and kinda smelled. Using my trusty Petzyme, I sprayed that sucker till there was almost a little pool of liquid and let it sit there for the prescribed 10 minutes then I cleaned up what was left of the mess. This only happens when I change cat food and I have a feeling it might be Thumper since he's not big on changing cat food. On the other hand Nala hasn't thrown up yet since she's been with me so it just might be here time to pass a hair ball or something. We'll see what happens when I get home to see if there are any more "gifts" from Nala and Thumper.

It's only Wednesday!!

Good lord its only Wednesday! I don't know about the rest of you out there in cyberspace but this week is dragging really bad. Good thing its almost 5 :)

Blue Collar Comedy Tour RULZ!

This weekend I watched the Blue Collar Comedy Tour movies, they debuted the second one on Sunday. I gotta say thats some funny shit! Now that I live in red neck country, a lot of things make a little more sense now. I recommend people see this, and the TV show thats on Friday evenings (only if you have nothing better to do on a Friday night)

Time for a new website design??

Well this is something I've been mulling over for a week or so now. I'm starting to get a bit bored with my current website design but I don't know what to put in its place. Don't get me wrong, I like how it is now but it seems bland and lacks a little something.

I've considered going back to the tried and true HTML type site but that doesn't seem cool enough so I'm probably going to stick with Flash for now and maybe try and use some of my new found Action Script knowledge to make it look semi cool.

Anyway I don't know I'm just rambling on because I'm bored and not in the mood to do work cuz its Friday. Bah only 5 more hours of this torture till I'm FREE!!

Happy Chinese New Year!

It's Chinese New Year! I think its the year of the Rooster (or Cock, whatever you sick minded people prefer) or something. I don't know I don't follow Chinese New Year all that closely. But anyway, to all the asian people that I know, Happy New Year! :P

Pats Win :P

OK OK I'm not really a New England Patriots fan since they're really a Mass team (hate the Red Sox) but for this game against the Eagles I just had to go with the Pats. Philly is too close to Jersey for me to like and the town itself scared me when I went there fora visit last year. So congrats NE Pats! Booyah!!

Choices choices........

As many people know I have two cats at home. Now living with two cats is pretty fun except when I have to scoop the crap out of the litter box. Now you would expect that I would probably go through a fair amount of litter and yes indeed I do. I've been experimenting with different brands and now it comes down to two choices..........

Brand 1: Fresh Step!!
This is the one I started with when I first got Thumper. It smells alright and gets the job done. The price is around the middle area and I normally get around 30 pounds of the stuff and dump all of it in. So far I like this brand.

Brand 2: Scoop Away!!
I bought this last night and dumped it into the box. This one was a little cheaper than Fresh Step and I always see sale signs around this brand. They also only had one jug of Fresh Step so I decided to try it. It smells the same and it looks the same as Fresh Step and I know the cats don't mind since I found a few turds in the box this morning. I'll have to see how bad it stinks after a few weeks but so far so good.

Litter to stay away from: Arm and Hammer Multi Cat
This stuff was freakin NASTY! Awful smell to it and it didn't keep kitties box all that fresh either. I think it lasted about two weeks before I bought more Fresh Step and dumped it in.

So there it is, in about a month I will choose the winner which will be my kitties new brand of litter. Good lord I'm bored!!

The weekend..........

The weekend was pretty busy, busier than normal but only because there were wedding plans to finish up. There are still a few details to iron out but overall we're in good shape :) WHOOHOO! Personally I can't wait since my wedding is going to be da bomb! My guests will just have to wait and see what happens but pretty much its going to be uber cool.

I saw the Winter X games on ESPN and the things those people were doing are SICK!! I saw them all this weekend and even into this week. My favorites are definately skiing and snowboarding although the snowmobile stuff was also pretty freakin sweet. I wish I could do sick stuff like that but most likely I would have cracked my skull open trying it.

Sunday was my LAZY day. I didn't go out at all except to get gas for my car. Although it was a very productive day in terms of computer upkeep. I have 2 computers at home that I upkeep, one is a test machine and the other is my "file server" that has all my music and pictures. I was able to update everything and try out some new software to keep myself occupied so I wouldn't get too bored and start playing video games. Hmmmmm............... Well I'm at work so its time to eat some LUNCH!!

Day off oh yeah!

Whoohoo it is now Friday and there is nothing better than having the day off! Today I went with my fiance to get her car registered in Floriduh. The end of an era, our cars are now registered in this weak ass state and our licenses are also Floriduh now. Hmmm CRAP! Oh well. My kiddies are also heading to the vet today so thats going to be quite interesting since this will be the first time I've ever brought them both there together. I guess I'll have to see how that goes. Booyah!! DAY OFF!!! Thats all I care about

Cool new browswer!

Well OK, this browser really isn't anything new but still, I found a new browser that I can use at work and with all the IE specific websites I have to use during the day. My new browser is MAXTHON!!! This thing used to be known as MyIE2 but they changed the name of it. It uses an IE engine so that all those IE specific pages that I couldn't run before on Firefox now run perfectly! This thing has more bad ass features than Firefox right now. There are of course a few things that I would probably want but for right now, I think I just found a new favorite web browser. I'll keep Firefox around of course just in case but I might get rid of it at home. BOOYAH!!

Man its only Monday......

Well another work week has started....... oh yay! Can you tell I'm being sarcastic? I'm can't wait till May when I get to take my 1 week honeymoon. I'll be relaxing in the sun without a care in the world and I'm not repeat NOT going to even bring a computer with me. Just my digital camera and maybe my iPod but I suspect I'll be too busy to use either one of them that much.

I feel bad for my friends back up north with all that snow they got dumped with. I saw some awesome pictures on the NY Times of how big the snow drifts are and that made me think about going skiing! I think thats something I want to pick up again but its kind of hard to do when you're in the Sunshine State. Although I will say that on this lovely Monday morning it was 32 degrees so of course it felt like home :) Come and get me old man winter! Alright thats enough BS for one day, I'll put more crap up if I'm in the mood later this week. Man this sure beats updating a flash file every other month and posting it on a server.

It's almost time for the Super Bowl!

OK I'm not the biggest fan of football fan, but still its almost time for the Super Bowl!! I just finished watching the NFC Championship game (Eagles won for those of you under a rock) and right now I'm watching the Pat's kick Steeler ass in the AFC Championship game. I'm predicting the Pat's are going to kick some major ass and head to the Super Bowl again and probably win it. Now you would think that being from CT I would be a Pat's fan. SO WRONG! Since I'm from Southwestern CT, I'm a NY fan (NY GIANTS!) But since I'm not a big fan of Philly, I'll root for the Pat's (just this once until NY makes it back in God knows what year). Well thats it!

I was driving through Tampa this morning.......

and what do I hit? TRAFFIC UP THE ASS! I went my normal way of course but then I hit a mother load of traffic about a mile down the road. I thought, OK sure its just a little traffic but an hour later I finally end up at work. Thats the longest I've ever been stuck in traffic on my way to work and this is without an accident. I thought for sure a truck would be on fire or something but it was just everyone being cowards and going slow. WTF! People seriously need to learn that rush hour means step on the damn gas, move out of the way and get to work as fast as possible and screw the cops! GEEZ!!

Mmmm Dinner! Part 2!

Dinner at the Rusty Pelican was freakin awesome! I was right in predicting that there was a beef dish and a chicken dish. I had the beef and my fiance had the chicken. Both of them were really good but I will admit that the chicken was better over all. I burned myself on the salsa when the beef came out but it was still pretty damn good. The only bad thing was that we couldn't try out any of the pasta which will also be served at my wedding. That would have been perfect! Now all I have to do is wait till May to have this stuff again :) Ohhh yeah!!

Mmmm Dinner!

Tonight is going to be a good night. First off I get to leave early from work, thats a plus in anyones book. Granted I'm only leaving half an hour before I'm supposed to leave but I'll take it. Second I'm heading over to the Rusty Pelican tonight to try out some stuff for the wedding. There's nothing better than a little free food (I'm hoping its free!) Too bad I forgot what it is I'm supposed to be tasting. I think its supposed to be some sort of beef dish and a chicken dish. Oh well we'll see when I get there. I guess there will be no working out for me tonight :) such a pity!!

Battlestar Galactica

Well there is a new Battlestar Galactica show. I can't say that I've seen the old one since that one came about LONG ago, I think even before I was born and that was quite a while ago too. I must say that I like this show so far. Lots of action and things blowing up which are all good things. Characters are what I thought they would be and they correlate well to the old show (I read up on it when I was bored). Now its part of my TiVo passport ;) Booyah!

Tampa drivers suck ass

Today is another fine example why Tampa drivers suck ass. A little sprinkling of rain and they freeze up, become pussies, and go like 30 in a 50 zone. Come on people its only a little rain, its not like its SNOW or something. God forbid there be snow in Tampa even an inch deep, there would be road closures and massive panic! WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO!!! People in this town need to get a clue on how to drive a freakin car the right way. I'm a CT driver so I know I have skills compared the yokels that live down here. BASTARDS need to get out of my WAY!!
