Yay I was able to get my film developed today. Kim needed a ride today to pick up a dog and gave me five dollars. I was excited because she said it was a pug. But then I saw it and I wasn’t a pure pug, it was a mix. I dont really like the mix ones much, they are kind of ugly. The best part of a pug is the bulgy eyes on its face and when it’s a mix it loses that.
The pictures came out pretty good, I didn’t have enough money to pay for them to scan them to cd so I scanned a few real quick with my scanner. You can see them HERE I really like the first zebra picture and the one of the polar bear and the stairs in front of him. I took a picture of the puffer fish because I like it a lot. If I ever get a saltwater tank I am going to have one of those in it. The tiger was pretty too. And theres the iguanas having sex pictures I promised!
The picture of the day is from a box of nails downstairs. I like how it says “when using all screws, the use of safety goggles is required” so does that mean if I only use a few screws it’s not required? Did they do testing and find out that there are more eye injuries when using the whole box but for the casual user it’s safe without?
I went to the zoo in Madison today. I had to be in Madison this morning and I figured I might as well stop there and look around again and take some pictures. I got to take some pictures of the polar bear, a zebra, the seals and the tiger while I was outside. After that I was getting a little cold so I went into the one building. They have a saltwater tank in there I like. I wish I had saltwater fishies, they are so cute. Then I went and looked at the reptiles. There were two iguanas and they were having sex it looked like! I couldn’t zoom in very well with my 28-90mm lens so I put my 75-300mm and zoomed in and took a picture. I want to see how it turned out. But I have no money till this weekend to get my film developed.
The only money I had was used to pay my phone bill. My dad forgot to pay it like he was going to and it got turned off, not even 2 weeks past due and the fuckers turned it off. So I had to go pay it right away so they would turn it back on.
Me and Lauri went to Milwaukee last Friday and picked up my stuff I won from the radio station. It was snowing pretty good out then. We took pictures of cars in the ditch as we passed them. Stupid drivers. I had no problem driving in the stuff with my metro, I was even passing people on the city streets because no one wanted to drive in the far right lane except me. It wasn’t plowed or anything but that just made it funner. While in Milwaukee I got a real cute pair of pants too!
We colored my hair blue again too, the other blue was fading out and this blue is a better shade too. I had to stop at the post office today and ask if colored hair is ok for a passport photo, they said it is. That would suck if I had to wait for it to go normal color before getting a passport photo taken.
I had to go in and work for the other girl at work for a few hrs since she had a dentist appointment today. Luckily the price is right was on TV so I watched that. i think if i was ever on that show and bidded 555 and the person next to me bid 556 id kick them in the nuts. Come on, thing of your own bid, don’t just add a dollar to the last guys and call it your own.
I won a ski cap and 2 lift tickets to cascade mountain on the radio today! I was finally caller 12, a bunch of times I have been caller 11. I need to drive to Milwaukee to pick up the stuff. Maybe ill go tomorrow if I am not doing anything.
My tummy feels ucka, I ate my pizza too quick I think. Im gonna have to put the rest in the fridge. I went grocery shopping today. I got mostly junk food hehe. I got pizza, chips, ice cream, and encore dinners.
It was way to cold outside today to take pictures. I am going to try taking a roll of film a week. When I left for work in the morning it was -10 with a -36 wind chill. My car started up but the clutch and steering was sluggish feeling. I don’t have power steering or anything in my car. Then later in the day I had to go outside and change the receipt paper in the pump, I frickin froze out there changing it!
Since I didn’t get outside or see anything neat today I took a pic of me using one of the fun frames on my camera, its me if I was buff n stuff. lol
go play this game its really fun Click here
So today after I was picking up some stuff and waiting at the light for it to green I noticed a cop car behind 2 other cars waiting to turn left. Then my light goes green and I see the cop backing up with his lights on and pulling into intersection to turn. It seems the moron driver in front of the line didn’t notice the cop car behind the car behind him and decided to turn when the light went red. He got pulled over right away. I started laughing in my car, it was too funny. I wish I had my camera with me so I could’ve took a picture. I kind of want to start taking pictures of people pulled over and make a book of it. No one ever has a happy face on when they are pulled over. It would be a funny book.
I had to go by the last gas station I worked at and get the rest of my pay they owed me, then the owner asked if I could work next week. I told her no. They dicked around with my hours and stuff last time. She would say that she would call me on a day to let me know when to work, but would never call. Or call me when something wasn’t working like the heat and expect me to come fix it. I stopped in one time because I was near and the reason it wasn’t working was because someone turned the breaker off.
After that I stopped at the mall and got two new cds, they were on sale 2 for 20$ and I had a gift certificate for them I needed to use. It took forever to find the cds I was looking for, the layout totally sucks. The rap section is also mislabeled as popular so that screws stuff up too. Maybe its their ploy to get people to buy the crap unsuspectingly. I got yellowcard and a p.o.d. cd. Then I came home and put my pictures into their frame finally. Now I just need to hang it on the wall somewhere. I rented a movie too, I think ill go watch that after the simpsons tonight
I went out to breakfast this morning with my uncle. The food at the place was ok, the butter wasn’t very melted to my toast but otherwise it was pretty good. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. After that I followed him to his place and helped fix his computer. I installed windows xp pro on it. His scanner is nice, it scans so quick and stuff. I think I am going to get a new scanner sometime soon. I don’t know if I should get a flatbed and a negative scanner attachment for it or if id be better just buying a stand alone negative scanner.
After that was all done I picked up my reprints. They came out good. Tonight I was going through some pictures so I can put them in the frame I got a while ago at target. So after I had the ones picked out I had to go drop those off and get reprinted too, since the slots for two of them are for the 3x5 size and mine are all 4x6. When I went to drop them off the cute girl was working! So they will be available for pick up sometime around noon tomorrow she said.
I stopped at the grocery store to see if they had kiwi teawi Snapple and they didn’t. I was sad; I have had a super hard time trying to find it. I called the pepsi guy to see if I could order some for the gas station, but they don’t do Snapple. So I called coca cola but I got a machine, I am waiting for them to call me back. But while I was in the checkout lane I saw the headline for world weekly news and started laughing. It’s super funny. It says 600lb gal adopts world’s fattest cat, then near the bottom it says and sits on it. I took a picture for everyone to see.
I went to the lakefront today and took some pictures. I wanted to finish my roll of film so I could get it developed. It was really cold outside, the wind chill was around negative 8 I think. I was cold, that’s where the picture of the entry is from. But I got some pictures that I like how they turned out. You can view them in the gallery. They didn’t scan in that well, I really need to invest in a good photo scanner. When I dropped off my film I also picked up a reprint I had done. It was done yesterday but when I picked it up and got home I noticed that the faces were overexposed, and they weren’t on the original print. So today I went back and the older lady was there, she does a good job with my developing. So I showed her and she reprinted it for me and now it looks nice.
I stopped in at work and gave the boss his cd’s back, while there I showed him my ipod and let him try it. He was liked it a lot. Then I noticed the new diet coke with lime was in, so I got one. It tastes pretty good I think. When I was at the register I saw we had a new lottery scratch off, it was plinko!!!!! That’s my favorite game on the price is right. I bought a ticket and won my 3$ back. I was going to call it quits but then the boss talked me into playing the solitaire game. On that I won 8$ so I was ahead 5$. Then I got a bingo one buti lost on that one. But overall I was still 2$ ahead. That was the first lottery scratch off tickets I have bought in a long time.
I checked the mailbox twice today hoping my wired issue would come, after the 2nd time i realized today is a holiday. Haha stupid me
Work went good today. I didn’t get around to getting the tapes from dads though so I ended up reading rolling stone and popular science. I got subscriptions to a lot of magazines, some i have paid for and some I get free. I never really read rolling stone before, but I actually liked it, I saw an ad in it that was a subscription for life for only 99$ which seems pretty good. I have my wired subscription until 2010 I think.
While I was reading rolling stone I saw this ad in the back of it, that’s where my title for this entry came from too. I bet whoever made this is making a lot of money. It looks like a pretty smart invention. I wonder how easy it is to clean. I am assuming all the bodily fluids soaking into it would really start to smell funky after a while
I went over by my dads tonight and hooked up the computer I gave him, and then showed him how to use xp. Then we looked at a cd of photos one of my uncles made. There is a lot of old photos on it and stuff of my step moms side of family. I should borrow it one day and grab some pics. They are kind of neat to look at and see how stuff looked back then, like the Christmas tree and TV set, and the cars.
Mythbusters was on TV so I watched that, the show is like the best show ever! Office space was on too but id rather watch it on DVD, comedy central censors too much of it.
I started my new weekend job today. Its real easy and stuff which is good. I open the clark station down the road from me. The day was pretty easy, i worked from 7-noon. When it wasnt busy i was watching cartoons on tv and then i watched bulletproof on tape, i hadnt seen it before and it had adam sandler in it. i really didnt like the movie much but it made time go by quicker. i think im gonna bring toy story to watch tomorow, that movie rocks.
It snowed some today too, it was perfect snowball snow too, all heavy and stuff. i took a picture with my camera phone of the view from the door at work
im gonna try adding a picture to every entry from my cameraphone, dont expect any high quality image or anything.
I need to make a main index page for this site sometime soon too. right now its just that crummy picture i made in adobe photoshop. Im gonan go back to playing xbox right now i think, i rented true crime for it. its been pretty fun so far. i put my sennheiser hd590 headphones on and crank it. sounds pretty good
Yay i finnaly got movabletype installed and working on here.
