Mouse
A few weeks ago I submitted a support ticket to my company’s IT department regarding my mouse. It was a standard optical mouse, and for the most part worked fine, except for the scroll wheel, which refused to scroll. I use the scroll wheel often, so this was a problem. I requested a replacement mouse, and was provided with one shortly thereafter. However, it seems to me that my fortunes ...[Read More]
Frustration
I’ve had all I can stand, and I can’t stands no more! How much can a man take before he finally accepts the sweet, warm embrace of madness? What is a man’s breaking point? Where is the line drawn? How many straws until the last one? How many weights must be thrust upon a man’s shoulders before he is heavy enough to break a camel’s back? What is the airspeed velo...[Read More]
Super Poopy Duper!
Around 2 PM today I took Donnie out for a walk so that he could do his business. To the right of our apartment door there is a nice grassy area that goes the entire length of the complex. I typically take him around that area instead of through gravel or on pavement. I noticed that he kept wanting to go towards the parking lot but there really is no grass in that area except for what is in front o...[Read More]
Donnie vs. Sliding Glass Door
Our dog Donnie finally came here with us earlier this week on Tuesday. The transition from him being solely outside to the apartment has been very smooth, and expensive. Right around the time we got him last year we purchased a squeaky toy that looks just like a squirrel. Ty, the beanie baby company, makes them and has about 9 different ones to choose from – not all squirrels though. The ori...[Read More]
Year 1 Episode 9 Recap
Hello everybody, Sorry this blog is coming so late in the day but today has been rather interesting and I will be making a separate blog about that. Last night was our ninth episode and all I can say is wow. 9 episodes. We started by showing off our new webcam we purchased this past week. We no longer have to bring in lamps from different rooms but the big downside is that for some reason it looks...[Read More]
Introducing our new “Inquiries Presented More Often Than Not” page!
Oftentimes, people will have inquiries that are more common than not. These inquiries, more often than not, will be presented to a person of supposed authority on the subject at hand, with the assumption that they will be able to provide an answer to the inquiry. We have received one such inquiry. Sort of. To be proactive, an “Inquiries Presented More Often Than Not” page (or IPMOTN, ...[Read More]
The Dark Kung Fu Knight Panda
So Lindsey sends me an IM today mentioning that Target is having a sale on DVDs. She mentions Wall-E, then The Dark Knight and Kung Fu Panda. For various reasons, we do not yet own The Dark Knight or Kung Fu Panda, which, for me, is very strange. I have a very large collection of DVDs, and I generally buy new releases that I want as soon as they hit the shelves. Unfortunately, money has been s...[Read More]
The Twitter Gestapo!
Yesterday, while playing Animal Crossing, Chris and I decided to check out the Married Gamers (Chris and Kelly) live podcast on Ustream. It was really entertaining and we found ourselves laughing a lot. Towards the end of their podcast they mentioned that they were going to get some lunch at Chick-Fil-A. Chris was in the kitchen getting ready to make lunch so I asked him if he would want to go and...[Read More]
I want my money, bitch!
In an earlier blog posted about a week and a half back my terrible H&R Block story was told. Some of you might remember the ordeal I had to go through just to file my taxes and some of you might not. Basically I went through a bunch of bull just to file simple taxes and got the run around at 2 different locations. I e-filed my taxes on the 7th and was told that I would get my return, which is ...[Read More]
California Love
Yesterday was a pretty great day. It started off getting some local love from @mikeoz on Twitter. He works for the local newspaper, The Fresno Bee, and has written some really great articles. When I take the time to actually read the paper I always make sure to check out what he has to say. For the Fresno Bee employees there is a website called FresnoBeeHive where they add additional content that ...[Read More]
Maynard… the best thing since sliced bread
On last weeks show I mentioned the amazing arrival of Maynard James Keenan to Fresno. For those of you who have been living under a rock, MJK is the lead singer of TOOL, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer. The man is a God. I’ve seen TOOL in concert 3 times over the past 10 years, and have been a huge fan for as long as I can remember. Let me tell you how insane I get over this man. Back when I ...[Read More]
Dr. Chocolate, D.D.S. (Doctor of Dental Surgery (Dentist))
After our trip to the Apple Store a couple of nights ago, we stopped by a See’s Candies shop, as it was on our way out of the mall, and we wanted some free candy samples. We walked in and picked up a couple of interesting shelf items before standing in line for the good stuff. Shortly after, one of the sales associates finished with her customer and came to serve us. We tried a couple of ...[Read More]
