Trying to get back into the whole exercise thing. Haven’t been to the gym in about 2 years. This week I starting doing my weights and pushups at home. Yesterday I made it down to the gym and hit the treadmill for 20 minutes. I decided to take it easy. Most times when I start going back to the gym, I burn myself out and never make back.
Willpower..that’s what it’s all about!
Well, I bought a new car over the weekend. Thought about going for the power and getting a Maxima, or possibly a 370Z. But, when it came down too it…I’m tired of paying for what I don’t need. Sure having all that power is defiantly fun and exhilarating. But you burn more gas and have to buy very expensive tires when they need to be replaced.
I test drove a Maxima. I was very disappointed with the quality of the ride. For 30,000 +, I was expecting a very smooth ride. It rode very bumpy. My SE-R rode alot better than that Maxima.
In the end, I decided to go green. I got a 2010 Honda Insight. It won’t win any speed contest, but it gets me to the speed limit while lightly sippin on gas!!
I crashed my Altima Saturday afternoon at about 12:30. I was going to Rocky Mount and a lady pulled out in front of me. I had 2 options: either hit her head on or take the ditch. I took the ditch. It almost knocked off the front tire on the passengers side. The impact was so hard that it dented the roof. The airbag came out but I didn’t even feel it.
I was sore for the next 2 days, but Thank The Lord no major injuries. I really liked that car, but it can be replaced (I can’t be).
Taz went in yesterday to get neutered, declawed, and get a rabies shot. He has to stay for 2 nights. I have to say I miss the little fellow. I hope he isn’t in too bad of a mood when I pick him up tomorrow!
I got my new 24 inch iMac yesterday. It came with a free 8GB iPod Touch. Didn’t have a lot of time to experiment with it. But, I think it will take some time getting used to the Mac OS. I was really impressed with the Touch. I like how you can download podcast over wifi and listen\watch them without having to sync to your PC. Really makes me wish I could get an iPhone. It would make my life a lot easier than having to deal with an iPod and cellphone separately.
Noticed last week that the signal on my US Cellular Blackberry changed from 1X to 1XEV. I started getting 3G data speeds with this change. But, I have started to notice reduced voice quality.
I don’t mind scarificing voice quality for 3G speeds!
Showing the Mac a little love today. More to come….
I currently have Windows 7 on my laptop with a dual boot of Ubuntu.
Why am I never inclined to actually boot and use Windows 7 over Ubuntu??
Windows 7 seems like a great OS. I guess I’ve just lost all love for Microsoft. Well almost, I still use an XBox 360 : )
I started watching TrueBlood this week. I think I’m going to enjoy it. It seems like they’re making their own vampire rules though. Like vampires are affected by silver and their blood seems to magically heal humans. But, these rules do add an interesting twist to the show.
I’m not watching Season 2, which is currently airing. I don’t have HBO anymore. That’s OK!! I can catch it when it comes out on DVD with the old Netflix catchup…
I watched the new Transformers movie a few weeks ago. I thought it was pretty good. It was action packed. I don’t think it was as good as the first Transformers movie though. Also, it had a little too much comic relief for my taste.
One of my biggest compliants is that all of the Decepticons look the same. Starscream looks a little distinguishing by his winged chest. But, none of them actually look like themselves. Also, I was very under-impressed with how they made Devistator. He looked like a pile of moving parts, nothing like the orginal.
Speaking of original, why do they choose to just throw names around and attach them to any Transformer they choose? I know since G1, they’ve used the same names for different transformers, but this is getting out of hand. Didn’t they have a Devistator on the first Transformers also that Optimus killed?
Despite these annoyances, I still enjoyed the movie.
