TV: Fixed on Monday?

It’s safe to say that Frontier did nothing for our case last week. After being lied to that the part was ordered a week ago, we find that best buy didn’t know wtf was going on. So they talked to Frontier and told us they were waiting for a new estimate on if the tv should be fixed or replaced. Friday we were told that they are coming on Monday with the necessary (lol!) parts. So if they fuck this up again, it’s safe to say we are getting a new set on them.

Moving ahead

After this passed weekends snow storm, I think that was winters last effort for the season. Spring looks to be on the way as the rest of the week’s temps are pushing into the 50’s. 60’s shouldn’t be that far behind. Taking off for CA this weekend so I’m going to be seeing some 60 degree weather regardless, I’m hoping it’ll get warmer than that though. I also hope the weather will be better when we get back home.

Saw 300 in IMAX this weekend at it was a sweet movie. Not much else you can say about it. It’s the mans feel good movie of the season. Director Zach Snyder is on a roll, first with the Dawn of the Dead remake that did great numbers in 2004 and now 300 which is setting records. It’s still going full steam ahead pushing past 120 million in less than 2 weeks.

TMNT the arcade game is on xbox live and it’s freaking sweet. Great little game for 5 bucks.

Snow Day!

East Coast weather in the Tri-state area is shitty today resulting in more ice than snow. So bad that my office closed, which never happens. Good day to clean up some stuff I’ve been putting off for too long.

Squirrel 0 – Electricity 1

I get home today after doing some errands and I open the fridge to see that the light is out. It also didn’t seem as cold as it usually is. I start thinking the fridge died when I go upstairs and see that everything is off. There’s no power in the house.

I noticed a dead squirrel right in front of our driveway when I got home. It didn’t look run over so I thought that was odd.

A half hour or so later and the power comes back on, I see a PSE & G truck stop by our house, move the squirrel and then continue down the street. Dad gets home and confirms my suspicion, “That squirrel is burnt to a crisp!” Son bitch must have done something stupid to the transformer on the pole right next to the house and payed dearly for it. Dead before he hit the ground.

2007

It looks good doesn’t it? 2006 was getting old and I think everyone needed the change. Plus, 7 is a really cool number. Time to get used to writing that new number on stuff. Usually only takes me a day or so.

I’m thinking 2007 is a year of change. A year of growth for me I think, at least that’s my goal. With this Ramapo College project I have coming up (details coming on the 19th) for their athletic department, I think it’s safe to say a change is in fact coming.

I got a new digital camera for Christmas, so I will use that one to take pics of the old one to put up on ebay. I’ve been fighting the urge to get the HD DVD player for the 360. I don’t need it, but with all the movies I’ve been watching from netflix, I want it. That and a Zune. Should offer expanded 360 functionality so that would be a perk for me. I find ipods to be terrificly overrated and priced as much. No matter which one I end up getting, I’m waiting for a coupon from Best Buy to get it. I have gift cards and certificates for BB so I’ll be able to get the HD DVD or Zune for crazy cheap with an added 10-12% off.

The release list for 360 is stacked for the first 6 months. So much so that some games will probably be pushed back just because so many AAA titles could hit very close to each other (Crackdown, Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, BioShock, Alan Wake, Forza 2, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey). But really, the 360 is where it’s at for gaming, everyone should get one and partake in the enjoyment.

Opie and Anthony are back live tomorrow, it’s been more than a week since they went on vacation, it’ll be good to hear them back and rested.
