Delivery

Leave a reply

I got the blender back today. They actually sent me the whole thing, so I have a new glass container and a new blade. Pretty cool how that worked out. I went ahead and tested it out on a blackberry smoothie and it performed like a champ. Let’s hope this one lasts longer than the previous one.

I also got my shoes, but they didn’t fit. Nike seems to make two kinds of running shoe and the one pinches my foot in the middle. I got directions to the Nike Outlet Store in Aurora and I went there after class. It was some drive. They didn’t have any shoes that I liked, which still seems a bit odd to me, but they let me return the shoes so I got my money back and headed over to Hibbett’s Sports off of Arlington.

When I got there I tried on another pair of shoes that looked perfect, but had the same fit as the ones I returned, so I had to try on some other shoes. I settled on two pair. A pair of Nike shoes that are basically white, but with blue and black accents. I like them. The other pair is a trail rated pair of shoes from New Balance. They are darker and should be shoes I can wear when the weather sucks or I want to go for a bike ride or something. I needed at least one pair of shoes that isn’t white.

I must have drove almost 30 miles today.

Time to Kill

Leave a reply

I had some time to kill in between classes today, so I drove out to Stow to run some errands. I imagine later in the semester I’ll need this precious time to work on assignments, study, take notes, and many other things, but for right now this is my time.  

First thing I did was run to Fantastic Sam’s to get my haircut.  There was a girl there that I’ve never had my haircut by before and she was extremely thorough. She was also a bit rough, but that’s fine, I’m not made of glass.  I always get my hair buzzed with the trimmers and usually I get the girl that is apparently in a hurry, so they always miss a spot. Not this time. I think her name was Melissa and she got every bit of my head with those things.

Then I went to Goodyear and got the oil changed in my car. I asked if they could have me out by 5, because I needed to get to class, and they said they could, so it was off to walk around Stow. I walked down to the GameStop. I walked down to the Chipotle that they just built and got something to eat. I walked all around just to kill some time. When I went back my car was done just like they said it would be. Off to class I went.

Shipping?

Leave a reply

Right now I am supposed to have a new blender to replace the one that burned out, a wireless mouse receiver from Logitech to replace the one that broke, a pair of shoes to replace the ones that had some sort of weird defect in them, a universal remote control that was on sale for $50 and that I ordered on the 24th from Amazon, and a book I ordered from Half.com that I need for class all shipping to me right now.

I’m trying to think if there is anything else I’m supposed to be looking forward to.

Soundtrack for Castle Crashers

Leave a reply

Someone on the Xbox forums put together a list of all the songs that they used in Castle Crashers. The music was all downloadable and free from the website you just had to find it all. I have taken the liberty of downloading the songs and renaming them to the corresponding stage they appear in.

If anyone wants it just send me a message.

PC Repair

Leave a reply

Brian just called from the University of Akron PC repair and they will be able to order the parts and fix my laptop. I’m supposed to get another call when the parts come in, so this should be pretty painless and it doesn’t look like I’ll be missing too much time without my laptop.

Don’t know if I mentioned it, but my sisters kids dumped the laptop over on it’s side from a table when the receiver for the wireless mouse was in a USB port on the side. It of course landed directly on the receiver which jammed itself into the side of the laptop bending and breaking the USB ports and breaking the chassis as well. It was $20 to order a new receiver from Logitech and the laptop is covered under the warranty, so that isn’t an issue.

I Ordered Shoes

Leave a reply

I finally decided that I couldn’t wait any longer on ordering shoes, and after sitting around checking the size status for Air Turbulence and some other pair of shoes I just decided on these and I think they look about what I wanted in a shoe. Light, black, and some cushion.

I Know

Don’t tell me about:

A. How you hate to have to log in to comment, I was getting tired of wading through 10 to 20 spam emails just to find the one that you posted that I had to approve.

B. How it’s not sending you an email when you register. I’m aware and I’m going to fix it. It’s going to take a bit. I’m still pretty new to all of this.

I managed to delete my entire blog while trying to upgrade it.  I should have just left it alone, but I tried to upgrade it anyway.  I did try and back things up, but some how I managed to delete my SQL files and the directory.  The whole thing is just incredibly asinine.
