I was doing well for a couple of days with blogging everyday but I didn't get around to it yesterday. I did make it back out to Sonic yesterday and got the popcorn chicken meal. We also got the HD cable box hooked up yesterday and now have more HD channels to watch. My favorites are HGTV and Food and I can't wait to watch TLC tomorrow night and see "Little People Big World" and "John and Kate plus 8."
Today we got all the different components up and running and all the chords situated. Now we just need to get the sub-woofer replaced.
This week at work is going to get some getting used to. I'm going to have to work all 5 days. Hopefully I will have some estimates to do when I get in this week. I didn't have any on Friday so I ended up helping Jenn back in Pet and Grocery downstock and take care of the milk.
The rest of today I'm going to spend some time working here on the laptop. I need to play around with my zune some more and also photoshop. Then later on today/tonight I think were going to watch a blu-ray movie.

Falling in Love with my Zune
My parents gave me a 4 gig black zune for Christmas that I call Black Betty. For the last week or so I have slowly been figuring out and playing with Betty. Well last night I signed up for Zune Pass and thats when the full on love for Black Betty really took off. I love being able to look up different songs and albums and finding them and just pushing play and being able to listen to them. I need to play with Betty a lot more to figure more out about her but I know right now my Ipod is going to get pretty lonely. The Ipod is so boring compared to the Zune.
Tomorrow morning Charter is coming to get our HD cable box up and running. Can't wait to sit back downstairs in the basement and watch TV in HD.

Hello 2009
Its the first day of the new year and it was nice having it off. I slept in this morning. Then headed back to my parents for the afternoon. My jimmy has been running fine now so I didn't have it worked on. Came back to Kalamazoo and now I'm laying down in the basement watching some "Holmes on Homes." I need to get this disc watched so I can get it sent back to Netflix. I think I've had this dvd for more than 2 weeks. Tonight will probably be spent in front of the new TV. We got a 52" LCD tv on Sunday and we have the PS3 hooked up to it. It looks really nice and on Saturday charter is coming to replace our old cable box with and HD and set up HD channels for us. Once you've seen HD its hard to watch regular tv.

End of '08
I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. I have today and tomorrow off from work and it feels like I have a million and a half things to do. The most important has to be going over to portage and grabbing some Sonic for lunch today. We finally have a Sonic close by and I'm sure I'll be traveling over to that side of town a lot more. I also have a lot of cleaning and I would like to do some baking sometime today along with laundry.
Tomorrow welcomes in 2009 and I'll be heading back home for a few hours tomorrow so my dad can check out my Jimmy. It was acting funny this past weekend but now its working fine. Crazy stuff, maybe it was confused with the weather changing so much this past weekend. The start of the new year also wants me to make a lot of changes in how I live my life and I really can't wait to make them. I want to change how I eat, drink, spend money and my time. I also am going to set a goal to blog everyday. I really miss doing this and would like to get back into it.
My dirty clothes are calling have a safe and happy new years!

Un Original Singles
A few years back I was big into country music. I kept up to date with all the latest Nashville news and gossip. I also traveled all over to concerts and listened to the music non-stop. Well in the past few years my dedication to the music has fallen but I still somewhat keep connected to it. Every week I get an email that lists the latest top 50 songs and also lists singles releasing in the next couple of weeks. This week's email showed Josh Gracin will be dropping a single next week called "Telluride." I got to thinking and I remembered a few years ago hearing Tim McGraw sing a song with the same name so I clicked on the link to listen to Josh's song and sure enough its the same one Tim recorded a few years back that is on his "Set This Circus Down" album. I have to say Tim's recording is a lot better than Josh's. I don't know what it is about Josh but I just don't care for his re-recording of other artist's songs. His covers of Marchel's music were pretty flat and boring. Josh doesn't give the same amount of punch and kick as the other artists do.
I'm trying really hard to get back into the country music scene. Whats gotten me really excited is the news from my favorite artist Michelle Poe. She and Keith Burns are getting together for a new group called Burns and Poe. The first single is supposed to drop in January and its called "Gone as All Get Out" and their second single will be "Always a Woman." I can't wait to hear the new music.
As you can see I've decided to go back to a standard blogger layout. I just don't have the time right now to work on a custom layout for the blog. The more time I get I will tweak different parts but for now I'm going to a plain jane look.

The New Experience
I didn't think today was ever going to get over at work. With gun season started and cold weather here, my work load has pretty much dropped off. Its probably going to be like this for a another couple of months. On my way home from work I stopped into Target to see if they had Lips in stock and of course they didn't so I hopped on into Gamestop. They had it in stock so I picked it up. I debated all day whether or not to get it but finally decided on yes to get it. I've played a couple of songs on it and I like it, I need to play around with it more to determine if Singstar is the better of the two. What I do like about Lips is the wireless mics that light up.
Before I could play lips I had to load up the New Xbox Experience. Then I had to create my Avatar. I'm not sure which is better the Mii's on Wii or the Avatars on Xbox360. The Avatars have a little more style and have arms and legs. After making myself on the Xbox I installed Netflix for the Xbox. This is what I had been waiting for the most. I've been using Watch Instantly on my laptop but when I do that I pretty much can't use anything else on the laptop. Now with it on the Xbox I can watch tv shows and movies from netflix on my tv and do work on my laptop. Now I just wish my internet was a little better speed wise so I wouldn't have to worry about the movies pausing while the internet speed goes down.

Crash
Yeah I was in a car accident....it was nothing too bad. I would say 10-12 cars. I was driving to work down west main and just before wkzo there was a patch of black ice and cars going in all directions. I thought I drove my way through it but at the very end I heard a bang so I pulled into little ceasers parking lot to check it out. My right rear bumper corner piece is broke with a decent size hole in it. I was very lucky since other cars had a lot more damamge. I had to wait around and hour and half for the police to finally get to me so I could get a report. I didn't get to work until 9:30 and man the day went by really fast. It pretty much snowed the whole day and I had about an inch to clear off my car tonight after work.
I'm playing some Singstar on the PS3 right now. I'm totally addicted to music games, especially the singing ones. Lips is coming out this week for the Xbox360 and I'll probably pick that up. I can't wait for Wednesday to get here. I'll finally be able to download the new xbox experience for the 360 and be able to stream netflix through it to my tv. I'll be using that feature most of the time. No more having to watch movies and shows on my computer. It'll also give me a reason to turn the xbox on. I think its been almost a month since I've turned it on.
Tonight I washed dishes with the dishwasher. I had been so anti dishwasher because it always left a nasty film on all the dishes. So tonight when I was at Wal-Mart picking up my lunch food for the week I boght a bottle of Jet Dry for the dishwasher. After eating tonight I loaded the washer and away she went. With the Jet Dry the dishes came out a lot better than they usually do. No more hand washing for me now. I've been converted.
Well back to Singstar...Oh yeah I made it into the Home beta last week. I was pretty excited, now I just need to start chatting and meeting people on the PS3. I need to be a more social gamer.
