Livin it One Day at A Time

In the midst of the move I decided to get an ipod to make the bachelor pad even schwanker.

You know because every bachelor pad needs to be schwanky.

So I had been looking on slickdeals.net (looking for cheap stuff since I have joined the ranks of the house poor). Anywho I saw a listing for refurbed iPods. Interested, and thinking I had more money than I did I started looking. Oh and prior to this I was what I call an anti apple snob. I had my alternative mp3 player and I would look down at the apple fanboys who constantly talk about the wonderful iPod. So this was a big step for me to be looking at an iPod.

Thought process went something like this.

“ohhhh. I need to get an iPod classic. I need to have 160 gigs of musical fury (those of you who know me know I have lots and lots of music).

Then it was “I want to see if there is a player with an even higher percentage off”

Then I found the iPod touch. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s an iPhone. Just without the the phone.

And the GPS

And the camera

So I was looking at it, with it’s wonderful rebate, and I start looking at forums. In the forums I see talk about jailbreaking

Hold the presses! Jailbroken? That means I can hack it!
Oh me likey. I hack stuff

TiVo? Hacked.
XBox ? Hacked.
Other stuff? Hacked.

So …..

I waited for it to arrive

And fedex didn’t leave it for me. More waiting.

So I got it. Jail broke it. And I am writing the blog post from the touch right now. I am a convert. Whenever AT&T gets to my place. Adiós Verizon!

The sad thing? I really don’t get a chance to listen to it that much.

Maybe I do need to get get an iPod classic……

3) 1 Space Invaders Cutting board

So, I’ve been inviting Brian, Crystal, and Braxton over for Taco Salad, um, every night now, and conveintly they already have plans and invite me over instead.

I’m thinking it’s the Taco Salad.. Can’t be the strawberry milkshakes afterwards…

So.. In honor of you

Oh, and I know I said I would review Dark Knight, but I have been too busy spreading the good word of Dark Knight and the Joker.

If I can hobble over to store and get some cards and gifts, I’ll be sending them out to you. If I am lame, and don’t get to it soon. Just know it’s the thought that counts

And the blog is back online…

And I’m getting all kinds of snazzy bach pad things from my friend/interior designer Jill

And I am unpacking.

Thanks to those who helped me pack. I have the good intention of send ya’ll out a thank you. Don’t know if that will really happen..

And my knee blew out, and is causing me pain.

And spent more money, and filled out (signature and initial) more paperwork than I would have ever thought

And haggled a lot of good deals (I am finding I love to haggle)

And photos to come.

Also to come..
Upgrade Wordpress Software
Upgrade Mission.net

Oh, and I welcome any and all housewarming gifts! (That’s not, like a hint, in any way shape or form)

So. The house… Did the final walk through. It has grass, it has a tree.

I have pictures, but it’s midnight, and I don’t want to do the work to get them put on the server

Oh, and the server will be offline for however long it takes me to ge hooked up in the new home.

So far I’ve saved $800 in just asking people to give me a better deal. Even did that with a moving truck (27 bucks baby!)

Oh, and I can’t sleep. Very Anxious.

Because, Well….

I saw this in the news today

I have always wondered how Muppet Labs was able to buy all those fancy gadgets….
