Second day at the new job. It really is like I'm living a spin off TV show. I had some work to do at the south plant, and ran into some people I worked with last year. I also shipped an item I sold on eBay. I recorded some podcasts, and I'll try to get them up this weekend. Just to tired to get it up. Later.

I started my new job today. Well, it's kind of the same position, and I have the same boss, but it's a different shift at a different part of the plant, and with some different responsibilities. The other guys had to go through training, but since I'm returning, they just kind of said "he knows how to not die here, let's get him saving us money." Can't go into detail about the details, because confidentiality, but it'll go good. I also worked on my basement collection some. It's amazing how much some shelving can increase storage space. Turned 6 square feet of floor stuff into 1.5 square feet on a shelf. Later

Today was a nice end of my summer vacation. I went to our local mall and went to the microsoft store and just walked around a little. I updated my game room with some shelves. It looks better and the floor is more open. I went to a barbecue with some family friends. It was nice. Then I filled out all my paperwork for my job starting up tomorrow. Later.

Today was a nice Sunday. I went to church and it was nice. After church I went to some garage sales and got a new media shelf. It'll be a nice addition to my cave. I also finished my IKEA style shelf from Home Depot. Now I just need to get my stuff on it. I finally finished editing my "Everything Wrong With Cinemasins Harry Potter" video. Check it out below.

Today was fun. I hung out with my friend and we went to see Cinderella 2015. We had to drive pretty far out to get to a theater that was playing it. It was a really good movie. Check out our review below.


We also talked all the way there and on the rest of the way back. I then went to dinner with my parents. Great time. There was the Splatoon Global Testfire today, but I got there to late and the servers were full. Damn. Looks like I'll just have to wait until drops in 6 days. Later.

Today marked the end of an era. Today we traded in our 2003 Pontiac Vibe for an HHR. That was the first car I drove, first car my brother drove, we had it through elementary school, middle school, and high school. The thing was falling apart. It had petrified crumbs in the carpet. When we were driving to the dealer, the paneling was rattling in the wind. But it was our car, lots of memories. For it's last hurah, we went to A&W and ate in it, because that was the first fast food in it 12 years ago, so it'll be the last fast food in it with us. Day 1, I'm 10 years old, we go to this drive in and I'm eating in the back. Spill my drink, but hey, it was well used. But man, that new to us used HHR is gorgeous. It was our dealer's mom's car and she barely used it. It looks new. If this was an ebay item, it would be "like new." It's great, and now we have 2 HHRs. Since the car dealer is close to my grandpa, we stopped by to say hi. Didn't stay to to long, but enough to say hi. I showed him my senior design project, and he enjoyed it. I realized I haven't finished EWW EWWHPDH12, but I'm working on it. Just need to add some text and title cards. Later.

Today was hard, because my brother and I helped my aunt with yard work. We took apart the garden boxes she didn't want, cut down a dead tree, cut off some branches that caused issues, planted hostas, and removed some of the fencing around her garden. She had a low fence, but that didn't keep the critters out, so she put up a larger one shortly after, but left the old one up and just put the new one around the old one. Well, 10 years of not being able to cut the grass growing between them made it a 2 hour job. Lots of yanking and cutting the base of the fence. If we had a propane torch to burn the 8 inch long grass so it didn't clump it to the ground, we'd have been done in 30 minutes. Well, when we take down the other fence, we'll bring a torch. Later.

5/20/15

Today was pretty good. I watched some Hulu and played Captain Toad. My brother and I cleaned off our garage roof, well, he cleaned it off, I made sure he didn't fall off the roof. I watched hulu while I supervised. I worked on my "Everything Wrong with Everything Wrong with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2." Wow that's a mouth full. Check out my work print. Later

5/19/15

Today was cool. I played Captain Toad, but the big thing was my brother and I cleaning up and out our vibe. My dad wants to get a new car and sell our 12 year old, 150,000 miles vibe that my brother, mom, and I basically drove into the ground. The seats are stained with drinks, the carpet has petrified crumbs that are never coming out, there's magazines that fell into the back seats and can't come out, and the paneling is falling off, but our car dealer wants to give us 3.5K for it. Dad basically said "put as much lipstick on this pig as possible." This is why my brother and I cleaned the floor mats. We literally shampooed the carpets. Head and shoulders baby. Later.

5/13/15

Sorry I got out of the habit of doing this. Today I had a hair cut and allergist appointment. Both went good. I watched hulu and youtube. I tried watching the documentary Bully, but it was just kids telling their stories about how they were bullied, and I have enough first and second hand experience to not have to watch a documentary about how terrible kids can be. I also worked some on an "everything wrong with 'everything wrong with harry potter and the deathly hollows part 1.'" Later

5/10/15 Mothers Day

Today was a pretty good day. I woke up, derped around online and tried to upload my impressions of splatoon, considering that it failed to upload, again. I encoded it using live movie maker to wmv and it uploaded fine. Watch it here.

Then I also had the lets plays up.

After internet stuff, I went to church. It was good. After some more relaxing, it was time for Mothers Day dinner with my parents, grandparents, and their friends. There wasn't any big thing this year, but there was my grandma insisting that I have a glass of wine with my dinner. I have a glass of wine occasionally after a day of work to help unwind, but not normally with dinner. Well, it wasn't just that I normally don't drink with dinner, but it's also because the wine costs $9 a glass. I don't have a very refined pallet, mostly drinking either $1 single servings or $6 bottles. That $9 glass tasted exactly the same as the cheap stuff  and wasn't even as much as in the $1 single servings. Oh grandma, but she was happy, and since she was the one who was insisting on it, I wasn't carded. Additionally, my grandparents needed more sweet ramooth for their Manhattans. They poured some more and were offering it to their friend who also had a Manhattan, but she didn't want any more. My 20 year old brother jokingly said "I'll have it," and my grandpa was ready to give it to him. My mom and I were quick to say "NO, grandpa stop right there, you're going to get him arrested." Oh my grandparents.

After dinner we cleaned my hamster's cage. He's all clean now. Later.

5/7/15

Today was quite fun. I did a little work to take care of my college stuff. I also hung out with zeldamaster93 for a couple of hours. We played Rayman Legends and Yoshi's Island 2, and talked. My family had Little Caesar's for lunch, but the hot and ready took 15 minutes to get ready. Then after eating, we met my nephew for the first time. Read about the fun here. Later.

5/5/15

Today went pretty well. I watched some episodes of Archer and a Sabrina the Teenage Witch movie. I went to the Salvation Army to see if there was anything new; there wasn't anything, but I saw a new Otaku store on my main street. I hung out with zeldamaster93 and we checked out that new store. It's pretty cool. I think I might regular it. I went to the band concert. Later.

5/4/15

Today was alright. I went to WOW! to return some equipment I don't need. I went to the mall to check GameStop and FYE for stuff. Didn't find anything though. After that we went to Toys R Us to see if we could find a little gift for my nephew. Didn't find anything there though. I also checked out the videogames because I'm me. We then went to Best Buy to check for stuff. My brother got computer cleaning stuff, aka a can of compressed air and monitor wipes. After Best Buy we went to Target and we found our nephew a stuffed Thomas the Tank Engine and I found an 80s movie triple collection; The Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Yay. After Target we went to MicroCenter. My brother bought a cooling pad thing for his laptop. I checked to see if they Pikmin 3, they didn't. I did a little cleaning up of my college stuff after the shopping. I took some dry cleaning to the cleaners. I used some of that compressed air on my laptop and blew out some dust clouds. later
