Dox Tricks

Just a few tricks. I also recently (for this project) discovered Windows Movie Maker. Cool little bit of programing right there. Makes things real easy.

under construction/Reboot

I sit here in a quiet apartment. Everyone is at work or sleeping in. (xBox live keeps the masses occupied for hours into the night! So they all sleep in to all hours of the day.) I'm waiting on my "boss" to get here with my (her) kids so I can start a new work week. My last set of off days was riddled with sickness and congestion. I waste time looking up Reboot stuff on the net.

(You remember that show? I have always quoted Mike the TV "Free for only 99.99.99" and that is how I have kept the show alive in my head. Years later I started to wonder where the HECK that phrase came from. I had vague images of green and purple "sprites" that live in my computer. But I couldn't remember the names of the main characters. Then I thought of the first real restaurant Shawn took me to back in the day. (not McDonald's which was our first date.) We went to Zio's; this Italian place that serves really good dishes (and large plates). The place was nice with the lighting set low and you could color on the table clothes. LOL Anyways I connected that place to the cartoon and thought "Hey wasn't that the kids name?" It wasn't but it all reminded me of it. When I lived in Bountiful, UT I had a subscription to Netflix and I looked up all the stuff I could think about having to do with the cartoon and finally got a name. Reboot! Netflix had SQUAT! Nothing. It never came out in full on DVD at that time. Bastards! So anyways. I think my sis did a Mike quote too in a sketch but I don't know if she knows where the legacy originated from. She was selling "Chia Faith and gift with purchase Mormon Boy in a Box Free for only 99.99.99!" Anyways.

Where was I? Oh yeah!

So before I got sick a couple of weeks ago I started to You Tube Reboot and low and behold!! Someone loves me. There it was in all its streaming video glory! Straight from Cartoon Network (through some guy named Y2... something) every episode including the 2 mini movies that made up the last season. SWEET!!! so what o I do? Well obviously other then the times i was bedridden with a fever of unknown heights I planted my arse right here in this chair and watched every episode! I'm not a renewed fan and baseline expert of the show. Did you know supposedly they're going to make a theatrical movie this year? But they said that about 10th Kingdom and Quantum Leap too. I'll believe it when I see it.

Anyways. While I sit here waiting for my "job" to get here I while away the time doing a whole lot of nothing on the Internet. Directly across from my building the rest of the complex is under construction. And for 2 days now some alarm in the hallway of the building over there *points* keeps going off. Like its malfunctioning. There's no fire or anything. And the office people just let it go for minutes (like, 20 of em) at a time. Like they could care less. Its the boy who cried wolf. I'm going to hear one one of these days and think "OMGsh! There it goes again!" and roll back over and die a horrible death. The papers will say "The alarm went off but she could care less. It was her own undoing."

So my complex is under construction and I really hope the amenities (When they finally open) will undo all the heartache the noise of building has caused me. And Reboot Rocks!

New Pictures

Through the natural selection of evolution I was given the genes neccesary to enjoy being a photographer. On the flip side of the coin that means that I'm not usually one to be in the picture itself. However I met a cute little pregnant friend of Sarh's named Heather. She's a photographer by proffession that I asked her politely to take a few of me. Here's my favorite of all of them. Enjoy my mug!

Random bits

So I have a dog. I never posted anything when I first got him and its been about a year now. I have lots of pics that I'll post including some with my "kids" (I babysit em). We have a park close by but I won't bore you with the pics that really should be thier mom's joy to post. This pic is of Bryan with Dox at the park and the video is Dox chasing his tail. At first he's just jumping across my bed a bit then over to the left is my closet. The doors a BIG mirrors. Dox sees himself in it and starts to attack the "intruder" but decides instead that his tail proves to be a more worthy foe. LOL. All the others are taken the same day as the video. Just random stuff. In another post I'll show off his tricks.

Moved

Hello friends,
I've moved. It was a pain in the butt! And we were litterally down to the wire when it came the timeframe. We had to be out on the 1 of April and still didn't know if we were approved for the new place till that morning. First they said we would be ok, then they said our income was over the limit then they said it our credit was bad, then they said it was ok again. Then we needed a form notorized and something faxed and a bill paid and then they wanted us to pay a double deposit. OMGsh!!! But now I've got a garden tub and free internet (in the office with LOADS of restrictions) but here I am. Finally. 5 miles from the boys work. Instead of 15 or 20. Plus hopefully very soon I'll be babysitting and making a bit of money off of that very soon. Write me friends! I'm bored to death. LOL
