Yeah yeah...I've been bad this weekend about getting updates. Thing is of course, that it's generally the only time I'm up and away from the computer and out of the apartment. So I don't really feel like coming back here inbetween doing things (anything!) to sit at the pc. I do that enough during the week.
Let's see...Thanksgiving went ok. Like I said, the new toll road made the drive easy. Plus, I got to hook up my iPod to the stereo (using the tape adapter thingy we have for our portable cd player) and it sounded really good. Better then the crappy portable cd player actually. Plus, there's about a gig worth of songs on there at the moment, so we had a good assortment. I have another few gigs on the harddrive to transfer over plus I found a bunch of my cd's that I want to rip and import, but it's amazing how many songs you really can get on the thing. I have about three hundred and I'm not even scratching the surface of storage left. Heh.
Speaking of iPods, you of course all remember how I got mine through the freeipods.com website right? Well, last week, I get an email from the co-founder of Gratis Internet/freeipods.com asking me if I'd be willing to talk to the local Fox channel reporter about my experiences with the site. I said sure, why not and got an email from the consumer lawyer news reporter over the weekend. I emailed him back this morning and told him I'd certainly be happy to talk to him and to let me know if he was still interested in doing the story. So, who knows? I may end up talking about it on tv. Heh. Since we all know it works, why not sign up yourself? (This link is will give credit to my Love who's trying to get one too. You have to complete and offer yourself in order to qualify, but if you do so through someone else's referer link then it counts for both people. He doesn't have any referers at the moment and seeing how this is going to be a tight Christmas, I'd love it if I could help him at least get something free.
Saturday, I got my hair cut. Nothing major, just needed to be trimmed out again. Took about two inches off it, so it is a little shorter, but still below my shoulders. The lady dried it straight with a curl at the end which looked neat but different. She also put more layers in it then I wanted (since it spiral curls, layers don't really matter the way they would if it were staight) but it's ok. I was mad though because it was the same place I always get it cut (though different woman then last time) and it was almost TWICE as much in cost as last time! Oy. My jaw almost hit the floor. I wasn't expecting it to be so much and that sucked because it was money for Disney that got spent.
Sunday, we went and saw National Treasure. We all really liked it. Catchy, funny, and of course, a dream for anyone who ever wanted to hunt down and find treasure or was facinated with ancient mysteries as a kid. Looking at some reviews, it seems a lot of people didn't like it. Which is hard to believe since the theater was packed and everyone applauded at the end. We all did and I recommend it. That's two-for-two movies lately; both Incredibles and National Treasure were well worth the watching. (Previous to this, we went on a five or so suck movie spree where they were all real stinkers. In fact, we saw so many stinkers we didn't go to the movies for a few months; we were soured on the whole experience.)
Still need to work on putting together some listings of jewlery and such. I'm really hoping some people will buy some for holiday gifts which will help me have a christmas budget. (Current budget: $0.) Don't forget, cute little handmade penguins make a great holiday gift!
Ok, out for now. Work to do.
