Since it’s been so long I’m just going to make a big list of shit. We’ll see how it turns out together.
Lots of great shit going down in entertainment. Summer is here with some force, I’m going to see Ratatouille and Transformers next week. Potter 4 drops that week and I plan on seeing that in IMAX before Book 7 (!!!) drops the following week. I need to also squeeze in Die Hard 4 somewhere in there. Also, Jimmy Nortons’ book hits next week and he’s doing a signing right by me in Ridgewood so I’m going to go to that for sure.
Korn’s 8th studio album (Untitled) hits at the very end of the month and I’m looking forward to that. Can’t make it to Family Values tour this year though. I’ll try to catch them the next time they come to town.
Verizon Vios sometime? Jonathan is getting it next week, depend on how that goes means we may or may not get it. Could be dope.
E3 is next week. It’s going to be smaller, but the news and media is going to be just as heavy for us gamers, xbox live is going to rule next week. Speaking of xbox 360, MS just expanded the warranty to 3 years from date of purchase and will be refunding those who have paid for service. The red ring of death failure rate is too high to ignore and they have to get back into good graces with customers. They want people talking about their games, not how the console is built like a box of matches. Sony may be dropping the PS3 price by 100 bucks in 2 weeks so expect MS to follow suit. Dope games worth checking out: Forza 2, The Darkness and DiRT. I’m currently making my way through Lost Planet which is both good and frustrating.
Since leaving XM after the Opie and Anthony suspension, I bought a 30 gig Creative Zen Vision (Black) and it’s dope. Easily stands up to what the ipod has to offer and it even has more features for the same price. I got an FM transmitter for my car since my Pioneer head unit doesn’t have an aux jack (damn my non-foresight in 2004). It works alright, but on the Turnpike forget it. It’s like listening to a radio that’s getting a signal from the moon. The audio quality at it’s best is passable, but I’m not all that satisfied with it. So my goal is to change up my car system when I get a new job, get a new Pioneer head unit with an aux jack, take out the busted CD changer, keep the XM tuner (put it under the floor in the back) and rock it like that. I’ll sell the current head unit and the FM tuner for the Zen (may keep it though, it’s good as a car charger too).
So yeah, I’m looking for a new job. My job is totally lame, I’m just not happy. Pay blows, benefits suck and the head management is incompetent and clueless. I know I can do better, I just have to do something about it.
