The writers strike really messed up tv

Television sucks ever since the writers came back. Almost every show was on hiatus because they didn't have any writers. Now they've come back but some of the shows are still in repeats. Other shows are showing new episodes but they just plain stink!

I'll be glad when the summer action shows start up. Especially Burn Notice, I love that show.

Phone musings

I get a lot of phone calls at home. Most of them are sales calls which I hate. I realize that people have jobs to do but I dislike being contacted by strangers. I added my name to the National No Call Registry years ago. I know it expires every few years so it's time for me to call and update my information.

I very seldom use my landline though. I mostly use if for computing purposes. I use my cell phone for everyday usage. I found that the Reverse Cell Phone Lookup service is very useful for me. Someone must have just got rid of their cellphone because as soon as I got the number, I got her calls all of the time. I want to make sure some of those calls aren't mine though. So I look up the number just to make sure.

You never know who's calling, and I want to make sure I'm not missing anything important.

No more jokes

I'm still posting on this blog. My plan is to develop specific features for each blog. I've taken the jokes off of this blog and I'm putting them on my other blog. I need something to take it's place but I haven't decided what yet. I'll mull it over and update this post within the next 2 weeks or so.

Finding readers

One of the trickiest things in blogging is finding readers. Before you worry about anything else, you have to figure out how to get readers to your blog. If you join a site like Blogger Search, you connect with other bloggers who you can convert into readers. You can also find advertisers if that's something you're interested in.

Join the site and find some new readers today.

Learning new things at work

I still haven't learned the new work that I'm supposed to. They did give me one of the harder accounts today but I expect that the person that submitted it is going to come back and say that they submitted the wrong form. If I don't need what they requested, that makes it an easier account.

I'm kinda hoping that it's an error.

I don't have anything to do

I'm sitting here at work bored - again! I don't have anything to do right now. I have a few odds and ends that I can work on but nothing to keep me busy. If I went through and did everything I could possibly do, I'd be done in less than an hour. We won't have any more work come in until at least noon. Hopefully then I'll get swamped.

I would much rather be extremely busy rather really slow.

Social networking for UFO aficionados

Surfing the net, you can find people that are interested in pretty much anything. Math, science, video games...you name it, there's a group interested in it. If you're looking for a new network about paranormal sightings, you should really check out this site.

There's more than X-File conspiracy theorists here. There are people that make their living studying paranormal activities. You can meet new people while sharing your love of all things supernatural. Check it out and see for yourself. The worse thing that can happen is you make some new friends and find out that UFO's really exist. Or do they? Cue Twilight Zone music while you click on the link.

Buying video games

I can't believe John is saving money to buy video games. He's really serious about it too. He put himself on a strict budget so he can get his games. That means no eating out and no junk food for 2-3 weeks.

I wonder if he will really do it.

Need readers?

Who doesn't? Everybody needs readers. It's good to have people validate what you've written. They leave comments and write emails asking questions. It's always a good feeling to know that people are reading your stuff and interacting with you.

I found a new site where I can meet new people. We can chat, look at each others pictures, and join groups. You too can join any number of community sites. If meeting new people is not your thing, just think of the readers you can gain.

No more jokes

Not on this blog anyway. My jokes will be on my other blog from now on. I'm trying to drive more traffic for that blog and my jokes are my version of a meme. I don't do the regular meme's that everyone else does, I've made my own. They will only be on 2 days instead of everyday.

1 is my jokes and the other is my Friday five. I hope you enjoy the new features on my blog and I hope you keep reading this blog.

Renting a car on vacation

John and I are planning a short vacation for this summer. Since my car is running horribly, we're planning on renting a car. We haven't decided exactly where we're going but it's nice to know that if we wanted to we could rent a car in israel. That goes for any other city or country that Avis services.

It's really easy to use their system to rent a car over the internet. That way we can get the best rate while using a reputable company. Travelling overseas can be stressful enough, anything to lessen that stress is a plus in my book. We're travelling over the summer holiday seasons so we're going to try to get a promotional rate to keep our costs down.

We don't know exactly where we're going right now. I guess we need to get ourselves in gear and start planning.

I need some time off

I have so much to do in the next few weeks. I have to register for the fall and for another summer class. The class I originally had is closed due to lack of enrollment. There is only one other class that I even remotely want to take. I just hope it's still open. Summer classes stink!

I'll be shopping this weekend

Check out that chair. It looks so comfy. It would be perfect for John's living room. We need to go out and furnish his whole apartment. I can't believe he gave away all of his furniture when he moved out of his last apartment so he needs everything. I saw some great office furniture that would fit perfectly with his apartment's theme. His colors seem to be black and cream with a little bit of burgundy thrown in.

I guess we'll be spending all day Saturday surfing the net to get the best deal.

I need new headphones

The other day I said that I borrowed my boyfriends headphones to listen to at work. I gave his back when I brought mine in. I need new ones though. The ones I have go in your ear and they're killing me. I'm not used to wearing them. It might be because they're cheap (.99 special at WalMart), I'm not sure. I also need new headphones for my IPOD. I have one of the old shuffles and the headphones are frayed right at the point where they connect into the device.

I still hear fine out of them but I don't want to put them in one day and they short out. I would go crazy on the ride home with no music.
