Brandon Sanderson / Don't mess with us.
« on: May 22, 2010, 04:13:17 AM »So. . . not 100% sure this goes here, but meh.
Facebook started getting. . . unfriendly.
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

Rants and Stuff / Debt Be-Gone!
« on: April 16, 2010, 08:44:24 PM »OK. So right this moment I am struggling with some debt and the bills it creates. I do fine paying them, but I got behind a while back for some extra expenses I didn't expect and getting caught up working normal-ish hours isn't cutting it. (I tried cutting back from my ridiculous amount of hours and it didn't work.)
So this is the debt I have.
Car Loan - 13,500
Hospital - 2,500
Loan - 1,800
Loan - 800
Card - 450
---------------------
Total - 19,050
So, until this is all paid off. I am going to work every hour I can get, cover every shift that's offered to me, and only allow myself one day off a week, which be completely devoted to homework.
I am also not allowed to spend money on anything aside from things that are necessary i.e. food.
So, here goes nothing. Tomorrow I work 6 AM - 1 AM. 19 hours. Let's see how quickly I can pay off about 20k in debt.
The process I will follow is pay the normal bill on each of them, then pay as much extra as I can to the one with least amount left on it.
Other I would like to pay too, but it isn't necessary until I graduate.
Student Loan - 6,000
Student Loan - 4,000
-------------------------
Total -10,000
Oh and these are the other bills I have every month.
Rent - 215
power - 50 (Not sure on this one, we haven't gotten the first bill yet.)
Internet - 90
Phone - 100
----------------
Total - 455
Anyway, that's my rantings for today.

[3/10/10 1:16:09 AM] firstrainbowrose: this is true. The new versions of everything sucks. Take MMPR for a great example.
[3/10/10 1:16:17 AM] Josh Walker: yeah
[3/10/10 1:16:31 AM] Chris 'Miyabi' King: I actually liked pretty much every season of mmpr.
[3/10/10 1:16:53 AM] firstrainbowrose: Yes, but look at the new shows. thunder and all that jazz.
[3/10/10 1:17:11 AM] Chris 'Miyabi' King: Oh if there's no Zordon it's not considered mmpr. It's just . . . . bullshit
[3/10/10 1:17:29 AM] Josh Walker: pretty much yeah
[3/10/10 1:17:35 AM] firstrainbowrose: zordon? It's been too long.
[3/10/10 1:17:41 AM] firstrainbowrose: Isn't he the one that rita married?
[3/10/10 1:17:47 AM] Josh Walker: big floaty head dude
[3/10/10 1:17:48 AM] Chris 'Miyabi' King: D= YOU NEEED TO BE SLAPPED!
[3/10/10 1:17:51 AM] Chris 'Miyabi' King: xD J/K
[3/10/10 1:18:05 AM] Josh Walker: accurate description of said Zordon, Chris?
[3/10/10 1:18:10 AM] firstrainbowrose: I'm serious. Isn't he the devil looking dude who rita marries?
[3/10/10 1:18:49 AM] Chris 'Miyabi' King: No that was lord zedd
[3/10/10 1:18:53 AM] Chris 'Miyabi' King: zordon is the blue head
[3/10/10 1:20:37 AM] firstrainbowrose: Though, I do hold that dinothunder counts because it has tommy.
[3/10/10 1:23:09 AM] Chris 'Miyabi' King: only first three seasons count. I think dinothunder was second season
[3/10/10 1:23:37 AM] Josh Walker: No, that was ninjas
[3/10/10 1:23:46 AM] Josh Walker: And Turbo totally counts
[3/10/10 1:24:23 AM] firstrainbowrose: are seasons equal to series? Kind of like the sm r and s and super s series are also considered seasons.
[3/10/10 1:24:28 AM] Chris 'Miyabi' King: Wait. . . Up to Lost in Space counts. Cause it was the end of that one that Zordon dies
[3/10/10 1:24:42 AM] Josh Walker: Right.
[3/10/10 1:24:48 AM] Josh Walker: I agree with this statement
[3/10/10 1:24:51 AM] Chris 'Miyabi' King: That's what I meant. I said wrong thing. xD
[3/10/10 1:25:09 AM] Chris 'Miyabi' King: and space was the fourth not the third series
[3/10/10 1:25:37 AM] Josh Walker: true
[3/10/10 1:26:01 AM] Josh Walker: cuz it was MMPR, Zeo, Turbo, Space

Brandon Sanderson / Found the coolest thing
« on: March 09, 2010, 10:17:22 AM »So I just found this while surfing the intertubes.
. . . . I signed up for some extra hours and the end of the week to have the extra cash to buy one.
(I say cash . . . . I really never see physical cash.)

Movies and TV / Alice in Wonderland ::Maybe Spoilers::
« on: March 05, 2010, 02:37:38 PM »OK so I personally loved the movie. A lot of my friends however - who claim to be huge Burton fans - complained about the ending being lame.
I watched it in IMAX, it was a four hour drive both ways, but we got the midnight release in IMAX. ha ha. The plotting was brilliant for a sequel. =]
Honestly . . . don't claim to be a Burton fan, then complain about a classic Burton ending. Sheesh.
What did you guys think of it?

Everything Else / Heaven in a touch screen pad!
« on: January 28, 2010, 01:07:05 PM »So Apple has recently announced the iPad!
I will be making sure I have enough money to purchase one the day they are up for pre-order. (I also still need to buy a macBook which I have yet to do.) But still. The tech specs on this thing are freaking awesome. It's like . . . the Kind of the internet. A little bit smaller than a piece of paper. About the same thickness as your iPhone. Weighs less than 2 pounds. It's like ultimate internet surfing ability for that lounging around on the internet without having to be tied to a desk or a laptop.

I really really really want one.

Everything Else / An odd dream
« on: January 24, 2010, 01:17:31 AM »I keep having a really odd ..... Dream. Like all of a sudden water starts coming out of all the drains and the toilet and sinks in the basement. Like not gushing just flowing. I try to fix it and my grandma comes down to help too. Then we see a weird shadowy thing. My grandma sees it and thinks it's the ghost of my grandpa who died just over a year before I was born. But as she gets closer and I can see it it's a one armed evil looking woman with nasty matted hair. I wake up at this point and I can't figure out what it means. =\
