Well we have heard of this happening to other peoples 360s and we would just hope that we would be spared. Well yesterday when my husband turned on the xbox 360 low and behold the thing wouldn’t come on and it had that “red ring of death” that we had heard gamers cry about. So now we are seeing if having Microsoft fix it because supposedly warranties were extended because of this thing. Or my husband is going to luck out and the end of the month we will just go ahead and buy the Halo 3 Special Edition Xbox 360, I think he is rooting for the new one though. I think I am kind of too.

I am not exactly goth myself but the whole goth lifestyle just fascinates me. And well there is something about some of the goth guys with the hair and eyeliner that is just freaking hot. And if you want some goth or alternative love then visitDarkyria.com : Love Different it is a new website just for this. It is aimed at dating for Goth, Heavy, Extreme Music and Alternative Culture. It is really neat it is free and users can browse through pictures and profiles and upload their own. They have features such as “Send a Wink” if you find someone that looks interesting and there are also free Video Chat, Forums, and a World Map Seeker. Since I am married though and already have my own semi-goth man but that doesn’t mean all of the single girls can’t find their own at Darkyria.com.

I came home Friday afternoon to some missed calls from Miss Jessica, so of course I called her back and she told me that most of our buds from work were meeting at a restraunt and did I want to come. So I said sure, and we all came with some of us with kids in tow. Well since Jason was at work it was just me, Wes and Hal. Well I am going to cry and get into the fetal position now, “I don’t ever wanna do that again.” I love my boys but when they get around a group of people especially people that they have just met they go kind of err wild. For the most part they were good but they just would not quit talking to everybody. However I will have to add that Chrissy’s baby was, well she is two, is just the most precious little girl ever, she was so sweet. And Jessica’s Jacob was adorable himself.

I may be married and a woman but guys may be interested in this site. At Loversplanet they can meet Russian women who are wanting to make friends and establish long-term relationships and potentially marriage. It is a great site for Russian dating the women all want to meet guys from the United States, Canada and Western Europe. I also read on the site that from an early age Eastern European women are more focused on raising a family, even so you would still have to work on a relationship with one of these women however if your a man who have those same priorities it would seem like a good fit for you and site is also free to use to meet someone.

I was just reading an article about the cookbook “Deceptively Delicious” by Jessica Seinfeld and how it was very similar to another cookbook. I mean who is to say that she actually plagiarized from the other author Missy Chase Lapine. But who in the world thinks of putting Sweet Potatoes in Grilled Cheese? That just sounds weird and just gross. I can’t even hardly believe the either Seinfeld or Lapine thought let alone both of them did. Maybe I am just not creative enough or I am just lucky that both of my kids are the least picky eaters and I don’t have to “sneak” them their vegetables.

I love to think of people who are famous or people that I used to be friends with and just search their names, just to see what they may be up to now. Now Spock Search lets you do people search for free. With it you can members can create tags about themselves or anyone else or they can be made by other members. People can also voice their opinions about you or any of the other by voting for or against a tag even their pictures as well.

Right now because I have been watching a lot of America’s Next Top Model I did a Spock Search on it. I was hoping for more results for Cycle 9 but came up with lots of in general results for all of the past Cycles. It was pretty cool because it came up with a lot of results of people who were on the show in the past but also came up with some regular people as well, which was neat too.

However I am really enjoying Cycle 9 and was actually glad last night when Ebony left the show. That being said I am really rooting for Heather to win, especially since she blew them away last night and didn’t even take a profile shot. That being said I also really like Sarah, Lisa, and Jenah as well. Some of the others though I just can’t figure out what they see in them. I really can’t wait for them to go to their international destination because that was really fun during the last Cycle which was actually my first Cycle to watch. But I am not sure how it is going to work with the green theme that they have going on with the fact that they are having all of these issues over China right now with cleaning of for the Olympics that are coming up. But to me some of the girls of this Cycle do blow some of the others from past Cycles out of the water with their photos, especially seeing some of those on the search results on Spock Search.

We have yet to pick out costumes or even bought them. My younger child says he wants to be Superman so that should be easy enough. My older child however claims he wants to be Master Chief from Halo 3, where in the world am I going to find a Master Chief costume? So instead of Master Chief I think I will be working on talking him into something else.

GreenRoad a new company in Silicon Valley has developed a software that goes in the car that gathers information about the driving and conditions and uploads the information to a website that lets the user see where they need to improve their driving. I think this is really neat because the accident rates of the people that have used it have been lowered by 54% it is mostly used for businesses, fleet drivers, and insurance companies that insure teenage drivers. Maybe I should try this out because honestly even though I haven’t had an accident in quite a few years I know that I definately have some room for improvement.

Because of the nature of my work sometimes I get to deal with people who don’t like to get credit card offers in the mail, fine whatever why don’t they call the number on the bottom of the offer for the national opt out that is provided by the government. Well anyway this lady calls today mad because she recieved a few offers in the mail and quote “would never do business with a company that is so wasteful with natural resources.” ugh if I hadn’t been out of it on cold medicine I would have happily replied that all of our offers are printed on recycled paper (which they are) but oh well I was too tired to care about that. However she does tell me at the end of the call that she “hopes I find a new job” well lady I just want you to know that I really like my job and that I am definately a more happy person than you appear to be.

We saw the trailer for this movie a while back and it looks really scary and I can’t wait to see it, since it came out this weekend. The comics that 30 Days of Night are based also called 30 Days of Night also look really cool from the ones I have flipped through at the local comic store. I think after we go so see this movie that we will be getting some of them. But until then I can’t wait to see it and I hope it is as scary as it looks. Will update when I see it.
