I get my wisdom teeth forcibly extracted from my jaw on Thursday. I just hate, hate,hate, HATE going to the dentist!!!! It probably has something to do with that high pitch whining noise that the drill makes. There are some pluses to this though 1. I don’t have to work on Friday and 2. The apartment opens up in 4 days! I will let you know how the surgery and whatnot goes.
I’m finally back in town. I had a pretty decent time out in Topeka but it is nice to be back in familiar surroundings. I’m pretty worn out as I drove all the way back, I did not have to but my dad has hurt his back and I wanted to give my mom a break and some time to relax. It was not really a difficult drive just a little boring and there was a slight tail wind to over come, all told it was nice to be able to just drive down the highway. I’ve always had a love for the road and well high speeds but mainly I just love to drive. 
There is nothing like seeing the world at 70 MPH! 
Also, When I got home my “converter” copy of Firefly arrived, yay more Firefly! 
At any rate I am going to go watch a few episodes and go pass out again so I can head to work in the morning. Until then, keep on being shiny everyone.
Just letting you all know that I made it safely to Tokepa and I am currently chilling in the local Panara Bread to I can have my wifi. See yall later.
Jus to let you know that I will be out of touch this weekend as I will be in Topeka once again to visit my Grandparents. On another not are there any gurus out there who can turn this image into a little hamster? This is for the little bar at the bottome of the page displays the times that I post over the last 30 days. i found a mod of the original but it did not work and then I found a custom icon mod. His site is powered by monkies and thus has a little monkey icon, mine is powered by hampster poawer so I need another one. Leave a comment if you can help me out. I will see you all when I get back.
I acquired the new beta of IE last night, I do like the addition of tabs to the browser but I do not like how they have redone the user interface and locked out where certain bars can be placed, supposedly to prevent spyware from replacing them. This is a typical half assed fix that M$ is so well know for. No improvements to load time or memory usage and it loads pages even slower if it has to open up a new tab that FF does on the same page. I will post some screenshots and some more impressions when I have some free time.
It only took 24 hours for hackers to break through Microsoft’s attempt to prevent pirating copies of windows XP. I found this over on Boing Boing.

They cashed our check with the security deposit over at the apartment com lex! We are in baby! More as i know it.
I just wanted to take a sec to post about a movie called Serinity that will be coming out in September based off of the short lived, but not dead show called Firefly by the creator of Buffy and Angle television series, Joss Whedon, and the podcast tat has appeared called The Signal. I was not a fan of the other 2 series but I fell in love with firefly after just hearing the opening music on the pilot episode on DVD (I was ignorant of the shows existence as I do not watch FOX and no one told me about it till after it was canceled. 
). Oh well, I will do what I can by converting as many people as i can to the Browncoat movement by showing the DVDs to as many as I can! In the meantime take a look at the banner below and check out the podcast in itunes or you favorite podcatcher.

Well, the apartment thing is finally worked out, though not how I originally thought things would be. I will still be living with Erik and Eric (how the hell did it work out that both of my roommates would have the same first name anyhow?) but we will not be living in the original apartment complex. Things did not work out with the management of the original complex and after almost 2 moths of what i would classify as almost soap opera digest Erik and I finally decided that we had had enough of their bullshit and that we would look elsewhere for someplace to live. Basically, what happened is that we went from being the only interested party who had secured their placement with a deposit to being one of 2 interested parties who had both put down security deposits and suddenly noticing that the manager could not keep her story straight.

One a few random tangents does anyone know why the hell my site has suddenly flipped out and decided to go all wonky with the time stamp of the most recent entries that I make! What kind of date is -1 years, 12 months ago anyway?!?!? :/

I meant to write about this earlier but I was to upset about it and some personal stuff that I will talk about later interfered. Yesterday I was saddened to learn of the death of James Doohan or Mr. Scott (Scotty) from the original Star Trek series. Lots of people have been discussing this and if you are interested I suggest that you head over to the search image created specifically for blogs, Technorati. To make your lives easier I have gone ahead and found the specific search criteria for this search so just click here.

I finally managed to get some photos of the Mustang GT that my dad bought after 30 years of longing for his youth. 
If you want to see the photos head over to my flickr page. The reason that I am using flickr instead of just uploading them to my server is 1 to finally have a reason to use the account I created when the service started and 2 its a lot cheaper to use their bandwidth than my own. So move your mouse over this way and click. You can also scroll down the page and view thumbnails of the latest 6 images to my flicker photstream. the choice is yours and either way they will work. Drop me a coment if you have any thoughts or want to say hi.
I thought that I would list my thoughts about the new Harry Potter book called The Half Blood Prince. Matthew and I met Joy at her apartment on Friday night to decide on when we wanted to head over to Barnes & Noble to brave the small children and the general chaos. We finally headed over around 11:00 and the place was completely packed! What was really weird about this was that most of the people there were not children but adults who were in their 30′s and 40′s, I expected more kids to be there since the news raves about how this book series has encouraged younger and younger children to read. Another weird thing for me was that a large majority of people were dressed up in costumes and were sectioning off certain sections of the store for “their house” and the frustrating part was that while everyone was waiting until midnight they were drinking coffee and trying to browse around the store for interesting things to read. This was already difficult due to the large number of people that were present at the even but it became almost impossible once certain sections of the store were off limits to non house members. I was completely disgusted that all of these adults were acting like 10 year olds.
