Family Guy new season - episode 2

Posted by Jim on May 16, 2005

Well last night, Sunday May 15, 2005, was the second episode of the new family guy season. 10 minute fight with a chicken from the earlier seasons, a bad joke about losing his eyesight and trying to become a hero. Even the stunt about the neighbor in the ladies rest room was sick fiunny, but they dragged it on too long, and it got old. Quagmire is funny in small doses, but not as a main story plot. I would want to marry Hanson - that was funny Quagmire. He didnt say much, it was showing him stupid and sick at the same time, and the replusion on his face I have all these magazines, I did..I oh NO.  Lasted 30 seconds and he stepped back into the crowd of supporting neighbors.

Oh and a big laugh of the night - subtle but brilliant - you had a great career as an auctioneer canihear50,000canIhear55,000Ihaear BANG I…hear…fifty…thousand….  That was unexpected and brilliant.

Can you take your crap off my car?

Posted by Jim on

Sunday I get in the truck, see a flyer on the windsheild. Drive up to the lady putting them on the cars, roll down the window and get her the index finger wave to come over. She does with a big smile and says, “Hi!”. “Can you take your crap off my car?” Well the smile left her face, she walked around the truck, took it off the windshield, and through the open window gave me a dirty look and a sigh about have a nice day. I said “I will when you stop littering on my car” and drove off.

Automobiles, littering, car flyers, petitions, advertising, paper, recycling - its all the same thing. Look, if your only way to advertise is to print up flyers and put them on windshields, your dont have a good ad campaign, a clue about marketing, or any right to sigh and give people a look when they ask you to get your crap off of their automobiles.

Baby care tips for the new Dad - sleep changes

Posted by Jim on May 15, 2005

Exhausted these past weeks

New baby, tired. Nothing new. But to demonstrate. In these 4 weeks, I have gone from 4 hours a night sleep to being in bed at 8 or 9, or zonked out on the couch for no reason. Friday I was watching TV with the 4yo, and the remote fell out of my hands a few times to the floor. In the middle of the night, I poured a small amount of Ginger Ale into my cup for a drink, threw the now empty bottle in the recylcing bin, and turned back to see that my cup had turned into an empty coffee tin that we use to put extra change in at the end of the day. Off to the sink to try and drain the soda out of a full coffee can of coins.

Wells Fargo Mortgage - do not use

Posted by Jim on May 12, 2005

Do not use, initiate or do business with Wells Fargo Mortgage. The loan servicing department is pathetic, cannot provide consistent answers, and continues to be a group of minimum wage morons who cannot transfer a call, routinely disconnect customers, and cannot transfer a call to a supervisor.

If you have the choice of any mortgage company, go with them and skip Wells Fargo. The hassles for the life of your loan will be unbearable. Dealing with idiots like the Wells Fargo customer service loan department should serve as a warning to customers. You will need to call your loan company sooner or later, even when things are all going correct. Late stub, error on tax payments. Then the true problems of such a poor organization come through loud and clear.

Add on: they call me twice last week, and ask me to verify my confidential personal information. And their number shows up on callerID as BLOCKED. What idiot gives information to some clown who calls them on the phone? Then I tell them that they are not authorized to contact me via telephone, remind them of the every December letter sent certified mail to their offices. They say I dont show that, we will call back again any time we want and hang up. Jack asses.

Family Guy new season

The first show was funny, especially the long list of shows. But the second episode where Baby Stewie goes to fart at the table and blows a blood vessel in his eye. I need a copy of that as a .jpg or .gid - It made my wife shudder and cover her eyes. The second best joke was Brian getting Chris to pull the mint dental floss out of his butt.

How does her garden grow?

Posted by Jim on May 8, 2005

Over bought tomatoe plants, put them in 12″ apart as measured by my tool in my hand. Oh well, forget tht 24-36″ spacing stuff. I expect the rabbits, squirrels and oldest pulling weeds to thin it out by next week. Anthony came down and picked up a few of the extras, rest I’ll see if any other neighbors want, and grow them in the flats as backups. Anna has a garden once again - its her’s, we planted it on Mother’s Day for her while she gave directions.

E3

Posted by Jim on May 6, 2005

I am not going, I am going, I am not, I am, I am not…been a tough 24 hours trying to decide to go or not. The original I am not was from the due date. Well baby got here early, I could go, just have to add a few days off from work, etc… Pugilist is already going, and I had to register late. the folks at E3 put me in - A big Kahuna thanks to the staff. If I wind up not going, as it looks this minute, I will at least get the mailings again this year - a big deal indeed. I will be at the FanFair in Las Vegas. I missed 2 training events, 2 conventions in April, 1 in May, 2 in June and 1 in July all to be flexible for the babies arrival and initial time with her, my wife and the entire family. So going to the FanFaire will be a nice addition onto the travel schedule. Of course it means I will miss the oldests dinner and dance. My better half will be going, and apparently its okay with the oldest IF I buy her a base and some lessons.

LobsterGram

Posted by Jim on

The lobstergram arrived yesterday, and is being cooked tonight. MIL gave my better half 2 gift certificates, and I covered the rest, and the 4 of us are having a surf and turf tonight. I even added the pot and butter melter and candle - I’m just a sweet romantic. Should be fun. Not as much fun as catching the lobster and having the oldest rib their tails off by hand, but fun

Nut job?

Posted by Jim on May 3, 2005

Nut job or confused woman who would have never done this before (except we found out that she has done this before). You would think she knew that she could cancel the wedding 6 days in advance and maybe save on her deposits.
