Sunset Tan

Wow, these people are so rich working at a tanning salon that they can afford a $6000 a month apartment.  OMG!  If you make that much money that you can afford $6000 a month for that, you can afford to buy a house.  Come on people.  I didn’t even know there were places out there that was that expensive.  Of course those apartments have maid service lol.  Still, that’s a lot of money.

Although, they didn’t take the apartment because the guy said it’s too much for an apartment and that it’s a mortgage payment so I don’t feel too bad now… I think.

Star Wars Battlefront II

On By Michel McDonaldIn Games, PSPLeave a comment

Darrin bought me this game today, Star Wars: Battlefront II, and I don’t know very much about how it works but I tried it earlier and kept dying hehe.  I am not very good at “shoot em up” games so it’s going to take me some time to figure it out.

I tried reading the book that came in the case but I was in such a hurry to play it so I didn’t read very much of it.  Darth Vader kept killing me lol.  I did get to play as Yoda and I had so much fun killing people as Yoda.  I can’t wait for the day that I can play as Darth Vader and kill EVERYONE!  LOL.  What I really would love to do is play with someone else.

New Blog

On By Michel McDonaldIn BlogLeave a comment

I’ve decided to change the way my blog looks.  I wanted it to be cleaner and to be able to add paragraphs and images and with the way my blog was I just wasn’t able to do that.  This will make my blog look a lot better and it archives itself so I don’t have to anymore.  Although I will keep my past archives on the site.

I sure do hope this blog works out.  The last blog program I used just didn’t work out.  I actually preferred my blog to be on the main page of my website but I’d gladly give up that ability to be able to not have to edit after each post to add paragraphs and images.  Also this has a spell checker hehe.

True Blood

On By Michel McDonaldIn TVLeave a comment

Tonight was the 2nd episode of a new show on HBO called True Blood which is about Vampires. True Blood is actually the name of a synthetic blood that the Japanese made to help Vampires so they don’t have to drink people’s blood anymore. They just buy a 4 back of True Blood and it gives them the nutrition they need but without murdering people. This particular story is about a girl who is in her early 20’s who can read everyone’s mind and she meets her first vampire who walks into the bar/restaurant that she works at. She immediately falls for him because she can’t read his mind.

I like this show because it’s a vampire show and anyone who knows me knows that I love anything that is supernatural. I would rather watch a show about vampires, witches, super heroes, guys who go around the country killing demons than watching something like 90210 or Gossip Girl.

It goes all the way back to when I was a kid. I was obsessed with Samantha on Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. I was in heaven in the 90’s when Buffy started, then Charmed came and then Angel spun off of Buffy and there was Roswell and then in 2000 Smallville came and eventually Supernatural.

The last 12 years of television has been great for me and the hits keep coming. There was a show on CBS called Moonlight about vampires but it didn’t last more than a season which really pissed me off but now that True Blood is on HBO I’m happy again. And thank goodness I have HBO now lol.

XP Antivirus 2008 AGAIN!

On By Michel McDonaldIn ComputerLeave a comment

Did you read my blog about the XP Antivirus 2008 Virus?  I’m bumping this back up because I just got a virus screen from Norton Antivirus saying it got rid of a virus, shoot I already closed it so I can’t say what it was named.  I looked at all the details and it has to do with the XP Antivirus 2008 again because apparently even though I got rid of all those files and registry entries it found its way back into my computer.  Thank goodness I have Norton to protect my computer because if I didn’t I’d be screwed again.  I was at the neighbor’s house all this time so I had no clue what was happening to my computer.

George From Seinfeld

On By Michel McDonaldIn Celebrities, Daily BlogLeave a comment

Well it happened again. Today we went to Albertson’s and one of the ladies who runs one of the cash registers said that I looked like “that guy from Seinfeld”. Nobody ever seems to remember his name. It’s Jason Alexander people and that’s a total insult if you were wondering. Yes I know I’m fat, yes I know I’m bald. You don’t have to rub salt into my wounds.

New 2008 Fall Season

On By Michel McDonaldIn TVLeave a comment

The new fall season begins next week and it’s the perfect timing because Tuesday night is the last night for Big Brother. Monday will be the last night for Big Brother on Showtime after dark so I can start watching Eureka on Tuesdays at the regular time and Ghost Hunters on Wednesday at the regular time. Those 2 shows repeat so in case there is another show on at the same time I can watch the repeat. Here are the shows I will be watching:

Mondays: Heroes and Chuck both on NBC
Wednesdays: Knight Rider at 8pm on NBC, Pushing Daisies at 8pm on ABC.
Thursdays: Smallville and Supernatural both on CW
Fridays: Ghost Whisperer

I’m very disappointed that Reaper isn’t on the list because that was a very good show.  Wednesday nights are going to be difficult because I watched Pushing Daisies last season so I’m going to watch that on ABC.  I wanted to see Knight Rider but it’s on at the same time as Pushing Daisies so I’m gonna have to watch Knight Rider on the NBC website or I’ll just have to download that one and put it on DVD’s.  Another show that I like to watch is Medium but that doesn’t start until January.

Edit: I just read at www.tv.com that Reaper will air mid-season which looks like January like Medium.  So this means in January things will change because there will be 2 shows being added and those 2 shows might clash with another show I have which means I will probably end up having to either watch those shows the next day on their websites or download them.

PSP Keyboard

On By Michel McDonaldIn Products I Like, PSPLeave a comment

Wow I just read at www.pspfanboy.com (click link for the story) that there will be an official keyboard for the PSP coming next year. It’s a little tiny keyboard that you have to use your thumbs to type with but that’s fine by me.

X-Box 360 has a joypad that has a similar keyboard on it and if people can type with that then so can I. It’s very similar to the keyboards that are on cell phones with full keyboards. My PSP box is going to be full lol.  In order to use this I will have to buy something that holds the PSP up so you can see what you are typing.

Tire Repair

On By Michel McDonaldIn CyclingLeave a comment

I had a hole in my back tire and I repaired it a few days ago and the patch has held pretty much ever since but today I rode the bike to the store and it was fine then I rode it to the store again and when I came out my back tire was flat again. Of course I didn’t have my pump with me so I had to walk home.

When I got home I took the tire apart and put it in water and the bubbles were coming out of the side of the patch which means I didn’t put the patch on right. So I took the patch off, sanded the glue down as much as I could then repatched it and held the new patch on really tight and I’ve let it sit on the table in the back yard without pumping it up to see if it will stick better. I’m gonna go put it back together soon so I can see if it worked or not.

Ghost Hunters

On By Michel McDonaldIn TVLeave a comment

Wow, tonight’s Ghost Hunter’s episode was really good. They caught 2 EVP’s that were really good. Well 3 actually but one of them wasn’t speaking English, you couldn’t understand what he was saying. The woman who owned the building said it sounds like Polish to her. The other voices which was in the attic sounded like he was saying “We want” but they think it was saying “What do you want?” which makes a lot more sense. I think he was saying what do you really fast so it sounded like we. Then Tango was up in the attic and he was basically cussing the ghost out and you could hear when Tango took a breath a voice that said “Leave me alone”. Awesome.

I’ve always believed in ghosts no matter what people say back to me. When I was a kid I used to see my grandmother Mimi or so I thought it might be her. I don’t know for sure what it was. And ever since we’ve been in Bakersfield I’ve been feeling what seems to be a cat jumping up on either the couch and my bed. I’m not afraid of a cat ghost because I know that cats are innocent creatures and they don’t have any evil inside them. Dogs are different though. Take Cujo for example hehe.
