Whats I"m Up To

This Was Only a Test

If you look to the right of this area of the site I'm sure you'll notice something new, recent posts, and the monthly archive. Don't I wish I coded that well, :-P. Blogger just gave themselves a huge update/makeover and the new features are really slick. They finally do commenting on their own, sadly this means I lost the old comments from the previous system. I finally have a way to do the monthly archiving pages automatically which is very nice. But yeah blogging has never been better and totally outclasses LiveJournal in my opinion in look and features. The testing took a while, I essentially took the most basic of the new blogger templates that had all the new sidebar stuff, and got it down to thew core code and shoved it in my index, moved a few things around and BAM new features...took me very many hours to get it just right.

I was going to make a big post about E3 but I never got around to it, got swept up in everything else going on. I never got to say how awesome the trailer was for the new Zelda game, or how promising the Nintendo DS actually looked. And you know how much Nintendo was badass this year, and of course, a new Metal Gear Solid Trailer, only 15mins long this year, for MGS3. I digress.

I have a job now, I'm an auto technician at a local Wal-Mart changing oil, replacing tires and such. Not bad so far just have to get used to things...since I've never worked on carts before. I've been working non-stop since Wednesday, money's good and for right now anyway lots and lots of hours, and I'd keep going but I have to sleep now actually, work at 7am tomorrow, or today, so I have to get up at 6 to go, oh well more later folks. G'night

Huh?

I am so bored, and I shouldn't be because I have too much to do. Keep forgetting to make my schedule, gotta go online and get myself a better Economics grade, finish getting this job at Wal-Mart which is causing me to skip classes in the last week of school. I don't feel like doing anything, cause nothing sounds fun and everything feels like work. Part of it is because I finally have absolutely no money,nothing to fall back on. Gas is up, the year anniversary with Catherine is this weekend. Looks like I'll be working at Walmart in the auto department doing oil changes and tire stuff, but I have to take this drug test before i can start work or get trained or anything, and only one person has the key to get whatever it is I need for it. And that person keeps leaving before I get there, the department mamger brought me back there twice, and this person is never fucking there. Now I have to go on Wednesday and skip classes to get there before she freakin leaves. Did I mention I hate being the last person to finish school. I dunno I'm just in a wierd funk right now, or maybe I'm just feeling extra wierd today, oooh I remember now. Its the sleep deprivation!!! Seriously I just remembered I only got like little more than 3 hours sleep. I was writing my final journalism atricle worth 30% of our grade. and i quit halfway through because i was gonna pass-out. then I was gonna wake up at 7 and finish it, and I woke up at 7 ...then woke up again at 8, then I freaked out, got out of bed and ended up rewriting the whole thing skipping all my morning classes,and then went over to Walmart to try to do the drug test and you heard that part of the story. Oh yeah and i hate this time of year, fucking graduations, my weekends have been filled with BS. Two Sundays ago I had the 6 hour Defensive Driving Course, then this last weekend was all familt shit, that made me want to die. And then Saturday we celebrate my grandpa's 70th B-day, Sunday is my cousin John's Confirmation, and then the weekend after that, is my cousin Aimee's New Paltz Graduation....

Oh yeah Zara welcome back to USA, hope to see you soon.

I don't know if any of that has made any sense, but whatever. As I said I just remembered I was tired, And I only ate one meal today, and I excersiced which prolly worked against me...and I don't know why I'm still talking

Oh yeah I got word that Comcast the company that owns the Gaming Channel G4, just gave just about all of Tech TV their pink slips, they bought Tech TV a while ago and they had a feeling this was going to happen. Which is sad...because Tech TV is so much better than G4, and G4 sucks. Hopefully they at least keep the hosts and things and keep the good Tech TV shows. cause wow. I can't stress enough how bad G4 is.
