Ahhhh

back in action.

hopefully my blogging will return to normal.

ok so two stories.

one.
today the lead designer at work, the one who is moving next thursday, had an "accident" at work. well let me explain. he came into work and i could tell he wasnt in a very good mood. well a couple hours went by and he came to the back yelling about a file and why was it on his desk again? then he was saying its wasting his time getting archived files to print. he then went into a rage yelling profanities, he then crumpled the file up yelled and started kicking things ending with kicking a computer chair 2 or 3 times. stormed out the back. he returned 30 min later limping and went back to work.

later he came to the back again and asked where the first aid kit was. he wrapped his foot up all the while complaining how bad it hurt. barely able to walk he returned up front.
later i asked him "what he was going to tell the doctor when he asked how he broke his foot?" he scoffed and said he wasnt going to the doctor.

around 4 he left to go to the emergency room.

HA! i was right. i guess we will find out if its broke tomorrow.

second story. while picking up my computer i got to help a mac specialist and a customer by walking them through how to do something in photoshop. it was pretty awesome. that i was helping a professional and a total stranger with photoshop.


oh yea. did i tell you that i got my computer back? I DID. brand new screen. and a brand new plug. its like a brand new computer. SWEET!

hard time blogin...

i actually have a reason this time as to why i havent posted in a while. my lap top isnt in my possesion as of write now. i had noticed some white spots appearing on my screen. this isnt my powerbook but ill use it to show what im talking about.

mine was not nearly this bad but i didnt want it getting any worse. seeing as my apple care runs out in a month or so i decided to jump on it and get it taken care of. so right now miriam and i are using her hp to surf and check email and such. her internet explorer has been acting up though. everytime you try to close out of it the program freezes up. thats windows for ya.

OOOOOHHH! in your face microsoft. riiiight im silly.

so hopefuly ill be getting it back here in a few days, fingers crossed. i did a back up of my hard drive hopefully ill be able to easily restore everything to what it was. im not counting on that though lol.

we painted pottery over the weekend we made coasters. it wwas fun ill post pictures when we get them back. im excited to see how they turn out. miriam and i did three each. we went to a place called "the painting paw" i think. miriam wil correct me if im wrong lol. but i recommend that if you go already have ideas thought up or it will take a lot longer. i mean youll be there for a couple hours anyway, depending on what you paint. but its worth it.

writers block with just a splash of random

cute huh?


i havent written on here in a week or so. i dont want to write another movie review right after i wrote those last ones. i mean i like to write reviews i just dont want my blog to turn in to a movie blog.

so our apartment complex has a pool. nothing odd about that lots of apartments have that. i have been once all summer, yes thats right, one time. its not that i dont like to swim i really do. its that whole public thing.

ever since grade school i havent been a big fan of the whole public thing. im not sure when it started i know that when i was little i liked water parks, movie theaters, and used public restrooms.

then it was hard for me to go to theaters, i wouldnt use restrooms and no waterparks or public pools.

but over the course of say a decade or so plus a councilor and medication pretty much back to normal, kinda.

well back to my story with the pool. i have gone once because 1. i havent made time. 2. still dont like public pools. and 3. there is a creepy guy thats always there.


he is this guy that is in a motorized wheelchair, and hes ALWAYS there. i mean the guy cant swim, his family is rarely there and he is a pervert. he talks to young ladies asking names and trying to get information, even though they dont want to give it. miriam knows this first hand. he asked her name she said mrs. smith he went over and tried to read it off of the sign in sheet.
today as i drove by i saw him sitting across the pool staring at a woman laying out. i know that there is most likely nothing that can be done because he has every right to be there and he is handicapped which makes it even more touchy. but still i wonder if people have complained or let it slide because of his "condition".

if im sounding mean or anti-handicap people. im not. im just writing out my thoughts on the unique situation. i wonder what anyone would do if he wasnt in a wheelchair.

would they tell him to buzz off. get lost. ?

we live in a society where we are so careful not to hurt anyones feeling or be unPC. but what does that accomplish people that are "nice" normally are so scared about saying the wrong thing that they go out of there way to prove that they are "nice". while the people that would say mean things do all the time and dont care what people think.

more movie reviews

ok so "a history of violence" was an alright movie. ill give it 3 out of 5 stars. it was sorta different then what i expected, which isnt bad. i just thought that the story was lacking felt shallow and some of the acting was a joke. especially the richie character, but maybe that was on purpose. definitely earns its R rating. violence gore language...etc
i heard great things about this movie so i had to see it just for that reason. when i heard that they were making another rocky movie, i have to admit, i thought it was a horrible idea. aging actor, after rocky 2 things went really south, aging actor get my point. well it wasnt a bad movie. i would give it 3.75 out of 5, because it really made me feel like i was watching a rocky movie again and not a crappy sequel.

hmmm what is there to say about this move. its predictable, confusing, it has major plot holes, its just kind a blah movie. like i think it really had potential here but it just didnt use it. story is weak, like i said before a glaring plot hole. the special features are better then the movie. i will gracously give this one 2 out of 5 stars.

if you like my movie reviews tell me. if you want more in-depth review i can but i really dont want to ruin it for anyone so i wont give away spoilers.

later

dryer, air conditioner...whats next?

ok so we havent had a dryer for over a week now. miriam first noticed it last friday, when she took the clothes out, that had been running for 2 hours, and they were still wet. the next day she ran it again for 3 hours clothes still wet.
so i called the office.
no answer.
called 3 more times.
no answer.

drove up to the office and waited until someone came in. told him my problem. he said he would call maytag on monday.

oh i forgot to tell you that i had come to the conclusion that it was the exhaust that was clogged.


anyway he calls me on monday, tell me that GE would be coming on wed. i told him it wasnt a GE but a maytag (same as i told him on sat). he says oops ill call maytag.

maytag calls says that the repair man will be here wed and will call the morning of.

ok wed, day 5 without dryer.
rapair man calls comes looks at it and determines its the EXHAUST (five points!) he tells maintenance to clean it out.

so i call the office and ask later that afternoon if it has been cleaned yet.
no.
she says that it will be cleaned as soon as they can.
thursday not clean yet.
friday i call the office again and the same girl says she doesnt know when it will be cleaned i should call back on saturday to speak to mel. she the lady i usually deal with.
saturday i tried once no answer, too busy to try again.
sunday i call, get through the second call and mel says they will fix it tomorrow, and miriam tells her how much laundry we have and if we can get compensated for it. so she gives us a key to another vacant apartment so we can use that washer and dryer. thats cool.

until i get home and discover our air conditioner is leaking water for the third time. and its gurgling again which means its full of water. i think im going to have to have a chat with someone that knows about air conditioners. i have a suspicion that they arent fixing it because they dont know how, and it might be costing us money. our utility bill has been twice as much for the last 2 months.
