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.

Bike Repairs

On By Michel McDonaldIn CyclingLeave a comment

I rode my bike to the store the other day and I noticed that my back tire has been going flat and it wont stay inflated and so today I decided to go through my boxes in the closet to find the inner tubes that I got when I got the bike originally. When I bought the bike I bought those tire tubes that have the green goo inside of them which is supposed to fix your puncture if you run over a tack or a nail but I didn’t know that it doesn’t protect the sides, just the outer part. So, I took the back tire off and pumped the tube up by itself and held it under water which is what you do to find the leak. Found it, fixed it. All new again hehe.

Then I realized that the seat was really too high up so I lowered it and boy does that make a hell of a difference. So, I feel accomplished today hehe. I rode it over to our neighbors and back and I noticed it wasn’t stopping fast enough so I got off the bike and looked and my front and back brakes are shot lol. Which means I better not even think about getting on it until I go to Snyder’s Cyclery to buy some brakes and while I’m there I want to see their lights and a helmet. Not too many people wear helmets so I’d probably look dorky but I’d rather look dorky than dead.

When I was 16 my parents bought me a bike and they bought me this light set that had front and back lights that ran on a generator (the back wheel and my peddling was the generator) so I’d like to see if they have something similar to that, those are a bit more difficult to steal because it’s a lot of work to get it on so it must be a bitch to get off. I do recall how horrible the lighting was for the headlight. Every time you start to slow down the light started to fade away lol. I’d like to see if they’ve made improvements on that system.

No More Plastic Grocery Bags

On By Michel McDonaldIn Pets, PoliticalLeave a comment

I’ve been hearing this thing on the news about how the government is going to make retailers charge customers .25 cents per plastic grocery bag.  That’s why I bought all those reusable cloth bags from Albertson’s when they first started selling them for $1 per bag.  Whenever you go to the store with those bags they give you a .05 cent refund per bag so if you bring 3 bags you get .15 cents off on your bill.  It’s an incentive to use those cloth bags and eventually the bags pay for themselves.  Sometimes they have a sale like if you buy 4 bottles of the 1 liter bottles of Lipton tea you get a cloth bag for free.

I tell you that so I can tell you this.  We bring our cloth bags to the store so we have totally run out of plastic grocery bags which is what I normally use to scoop cat litter into then I put those bags into the 5 lb. buckets that the litter come in (empty buckets of course).  But since I have no more bags I have to just scoop the litter directly into the bucket then to keep the smell down to a minimum I put the lid on it.

Well, you know what happens when there are wet items left inside a closed container don’t you?  Condensation happens.  The lid of the bucket has sweat all over it.  Cat urine and feces sweat.  What happens when you open the lid?  The juices fall due to gravity.  Normally when that happens the juices fall to the ground but if your foot is right next to it and you don’t have shoes on because you are about ready to go to bed and this is the last thing you do before you go to bed, it falls on your foot.

Well, that happened to me tonight.  Cat urine and feces juice all over my foot.  I couldn’t do anything about it because I figured I might as well just scoop the litter and get it done fast so I can run to the shower.  I didn’t want to shower then scoop cause then I’d have to wash my hands all over again so I just did my duty then ran to the bathroom.

Thank you Al Gore for bitching and complaining about global warming.  See what you did to me?

LOL

Pineapple Express

On By Michel McDonaldIn Humor, MoviesLeave a comment

We went and saw Pineapple Express. Hilarious movie. I myself don’t care for pot but I do love a good pot joke lol. Seth Rogan seems to be a very funny guy and he is working his butt off this year doing so many movies.

One thing that made me laugh really hard was the pink eye joke.  They said that they got pink eye because they were farting on each others pillows and so I guess the feces that came out of the fart and landed on the pillow gave them all pink eye.  That was hilarious.  I don’t know if you can get pink eye that way, I’ve never had pink eye so I don’t really know anything about it but I’m pretty sure that if you are living with people who are farting on your pillows then your situation needs to change, soon lol.

GPS Mount for the PSP

On By Michel McDonaldIn Products I Like, PSPLeave a comment

As some of you know, I’m very excited about the GPS module coming this holiday season for the PSP. Well, I just read on the Playstation Blog that it will be out later this year and there is a company who is making a dashboard bracket for the PSP making it easier to navigate the country without needing to hold your PSP while driving lol. Here is a picture.

Now just tell me how I’m supposed to use my PSP while riding a bike without crashing into a car, breaking both my legs and smashing my PSP into a million pieces.  I joke hehe, I would never do that.

Les Grossman

On By Michel McDonaldIn Celebrities, Humor, Joke, MoviesLeave a comment

I just saw a commercial for Tropic Thunder and they are introducing a new actor named Les Grossman. LOL That’s hilarious. That is Tom Cruise under all that fat and baldness. He’s trying to make a new name for himself as Les Grossman either as a joke or to help boost his career again. Whatever, he was good in that movie.

Hose Water

On By Michel McDonaldIn Daily BlogLeave a comment

OMG YUCK! We ran out of the bottled water and I put a few ice cubes in my cup and just got water from the tap because there ain’t no way I’m gonna go fill the bottle at 12:40am.

OMG so sick. It tastes like hose water. I really wish Bakersfield would clean the water up a bit more. In Los Angeles I could fill my glass with tap water and drink it and it didn’t taste any different from bottled water does. Here you fill up a glass with the tap water and it’s white instead of clear for a few seconds then it starts turning clear from the bottom to the top.

This is not PG&E water either, this is from California Water Service Company in San Jose, CA. I’m still not quite sure why San Jose is in charge of our water. But it’s sick. That’s another reason for me to miss LA.

Car Repair

On By Michel McDonaldIn CarLeave a comment

We were going to the bank so Darrin could cash a check and then pay his credit card bill then go to AAA to pay his insurance bill and as we left the house in the car I noticed that the A/C wasn’t working. It wasn’t blowing out cold air, instead of was warm. I put my hands up to feel the air and I said it’s not working so Darrin put his hand up to it and noticed that it was warm.

So we turned it off and rolled the windows down and he could smell burning rubber. He figured it was just a belt, you know, something easy and cheap. Well, that wasn’t the case at all. The Ford dealership which is where he likes to take the car called him back and told him it would cost $1852 WOW!!! Sheesh! I guess we have no choice right?

Dream

On By Michel McDonaldIn Dreams, PSP, TechLeave a comment

I have the weirdest dreams. I had to blog this before I forgot it. I am already starting to forget most of the dream but the main thing I want to write about is that we were running around and we had these duffel bags and my duffel bag had a camcorder and my PSP and my house keys inside it along with clothes and whatever, I don’t know what else actually.

Anyway, we stopped carrying them and at some point we were passing where we left them and they were gone and I said our bags are gone and Darrin looked at me like OMG WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW!!!! And I turned to him and said “don’t worry, this is just a dream. I will wake up and that stuff will be where it’s supposed to be.” Then when I did wake up I was like whew hehe. But I find it strange that I knew that it was a dream so I chose not to stress over it in my dream.

Step Brothers

On By Michel McDonaldIn MoviesLeave a comment

We went to see the movie Step Brothers today. It was very funny. Very dirty but very funny. I like John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell and I like the combination of these 2 in movies.  I think they will be a great movie and/or tv duo.

They were both like little boys in this movie despite the fact that they are all grown up, probably about my age if not older which is what made the movie hilarious. Darrin didn’t like the fart scene because he hates fart humor but I thought it was hilarious.

If you haven’t seen it, go see it because it his hilarious.
