Desperatly Seeking Serenity.....

Having lived in small towns up until 6 months ago I never really had a concept of the "Christmas Shopping Season" until this year. Before this year my concept was... there were alot of people on the weekends and the weekdays were a little heavy. Turns out the weekdays are almost as bad as the weekends. Holy crap it took me 45 minutes to get out of Best Buy last night.

I don't mind Best Buy, but I don't love it either.

Anyway... yesterday Serenity was released on DVD. I know you all saw it and all already own it. (If you don't stop reading NOW and go buy it!). Anyway I thought I would go to Target and buy Serenity since I needed to get a few other things and didn't want to deal with best buy. Well turns out that target is a mad house this time of year as well. But that is beside the point.

I find my way back to the DVD's.... find the New Releases... and there is a giant hole in the new releases and I don't see Serenity. I look at the tag... the hole belongs to Serenity. Well that makes me feel good, lots of people have already bought serenity... I however have not and I must own it.

I bring my mind into focus... I must venture to the dreaded... BEST BUY! *que ominous like music*

I goto Best Buy... it's busy as all get out.... I find my way to the New releases... they have Serenity!

Only 3 copies...

2 of them full screen....

1 Widescreen...

I snatch one of them.

And with that I got the last Widescreen copy of Serenity in my area. I'm proud of myself and I know more will come in.

good times... good times.

Commutes and their strange effects...

On the drive into work this morning Nine Inch Nails came on the radio.
I like NIN and I'm sure I've written about them before... Their current album is pretty good. Nothing ground breaking but defintly harder then
most of the stuff that is out there. Now when you think of NIN who do
you generally think of ?

Trent Reznor....

Trent Reznor is NIN, and so there I was sitting in my truck driving up the 101 and I had the next thought. "Is 'Trent Reznor' his real name?"
Really think about it, the name flows off of the tounge yet it sticks in your mind... I don't know I think that the name is made up personally.

Parents name their kids things like "Jack Johnson" or "Jack Black"

I don't know I may be totally off base with this one or I might be right on but at either rate I think I have entirely to much time to think each day when I'm driving.

“I don’t know what I ever did before I had a computer Tommy”



What my grandfather said to me when I told him that I had his computer fixed and was shipping it back to Kingman.

He’s only in his early 80’s and was in his mid 70’s when we bought his first computer… Incidentally when he bought his first computer it was better then the one I had at the time which caused me to go out and buy a new one about 4 months later… that computer is still sitting in my closet since I can’t bring myself to throw it away. That and I’m not sure whats on it since I haven’t used it since college.

The first computer my parents bought was because my mother saved the money teaching a side class. The original computer purchase was quashed by my father when he got mad at me for spending $200 on a Super Nintendo (my own money no less!) and as a matter of principal wouldn’t buy a computer. He said something to the effect of “Why should I buy a computer for the kids… it will just become another video game machine” WOW now if that isn’t fore shadowing I don’t known what is.

I really don’t like typing in M$ Word, it interferes with my natural writing style. Which is to use lots of “…” and basically mangle the English language in anyway I see fit. I least I’m not doing comma splices like I did back in school.

Actually grammar has never been my strong suite, English was my weakest of the core subjects in school. Which is odd since the guidance counselors always wanted to put me in the advance classes and I always was working to keep up with the regular classes. I guess 90% of appearing smart is knowing what classes to take to make you look that way to everyone else.

For the record, I consider my self to be slightly above average in intelligence…. But higher then average in my Role Playing Skills and Hand Eye coordination.

You will never take me alive...

Score one for the good guys... I'm back into running LINUX full time at home...


LET THE BORING TECHINCAL POST ROLL!!!!
