For those who don’t know. Comedy Central bought the rights to produce new episodes of Futurama in 2008. Finally another mistake by Fox undone by another network. They (Fox) undid their first mistake (Family Guy) but this made my day when I heard about it a few months ago. Now they have a promo out.

Last month I stated that September was going to rock.
I predicted the following:
1. My former employer has finally coughed up my final pay check. Took ‘em a while but L&I forced their hand.
Answer: Yes they finally did. I was only employed there for a whopping 3 weeks and hated it… absolutely hated it. I guess they realized this and decided not to pay me.
2. New car somewhere in Week 2 or 3 of September (95% likelihood of this being a 2007 Scion tC)
Answer: Saturday, September 9th is when I finally got the car. Already received some damage. First time since I started driving (only a short 5 years) and I curbed a rim on a new car. Blah!
3. Giong out to blue lake tomorrow
Answer: I had a blast and ended up losing my glasses.
4. Cammy starting a new job at Whole Foods
Answer: This didn’t happen. They were asswipes. Sure the pay was more (paid almost as much as when I worked at df) but their demands were ridiculous.
5. and probably more
Answer: Got a new iPod, w00t!. Ummm my car insurance is only $111 a month now. Oh and I sold my old car within 3 days after putting it up for sale (offered $5900, got $5500).
Conclusion: Hell yes it rocked. Other then burning my savings to buy a new car… this was definitely the best month this year.
Consider the following…
More pics of my new car. Give her a good washin’ on Friday night (and waxin’).
Ok so I remember vividly when Apple decided to drop the iPod mini in favor of the iPod nano last year. I was strongly opposed against this move because of the strong aluminum shell the iPod mini had and the plastic casing the Nano had. I though Apple had a hit with the Mini and I always told Cam this “The perfect iPod is the mini with a color screen”.
One year and 5 days later… Apple reintroduces the iPod that should’ve been a year ago. They call it the new iPod Nano but anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that this iPod has more features taken from the abandoned iPod Mini then Nano.
1. The casing, its aluminum just like the mini
2. The colors, all the 4gb iPod “nanos” are similar to the colors the mini had.
3. The ipod design, curved edges and a white top just like… yup you got it the mini.
The only thing it takes from the Nano are
1. The size, just as big as the Nano
2. USB 2.0 only, no firewire.
One would have to ask why Apple has decided to use the mini design again and shrink it down to the size of the nano. I am sure it has something to do with the fact that the old iPod mini was much more… scratch resistant then the 1st generation iPod Nanos, but that is just a hunch.
The “old” ipod mini
The new iPod mini… errr nanos.
You be the judge.
Here are some pictures of my new car…
I am sure most websites will have some sort of blurb or rememberance today. Today marks the 5th anniversary of 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon and the brave individuals on flight 93 in PA.
Personally I remember the day all to well. At the time I was a junior with a transfer class to Computer Networking at KM, so I was still taking the good ol’ yellow bus. A neighbor called us early in the morning and to this day I still remember the shock I saw when they showed the video on CNN. It is something I will never forget. It is one of those days you will remember and tell others and your own kids about when you get old. The one thing I hope that happens is that the questions so many have get answered in the next 10-15 years.
Only time will tell…

Sexual urges of men and women
"I never have quite figured out why the sexual urges of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. And I never figured out why men think with their head and women think with their heart. And I never yet have figured out how the sexual desire gene gets thrown into a state of turmoil when it hears the words "I do."
One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like it. I just want you to hold me." I said, "WHAT???"
So she says the words that I and every husband on the planet dread. She explains that I must not be in tune with her emotional needs as a woman. I'm thinking, "What was her first clue?" I finally realize that nothing was going to happen that night, so I went to sleep.
The very next day, we went shopping at a big, unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on three different, very expensive outfits. She could not decide which one to take, so I told her to take all three of them. She then tells me that she wants matching shoes worth $200.00 a pair to which I say OK. And then we go to the jewellery department where she gets a pair of diamond earrings.
Let me tell you. She was so excited. She must have thought that I was one wave short of a shipwreck, but I don't think she cared. I think she was testing me when she asked for a tennis bracelet because she does not even play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I told her that it was OK. She was almost sexually excited from all of this, and you should have seen her face when she said, "I'm ready to go to the cash register."
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No, honey, I don't feel like buying all this stuff now." You should have seen her face. It went completely blank. I then said, "Really, honey, I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while."
And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "You must not be in tune with my financial needs as a man."
I figure that I won't be having sex again until some time after the Spring of 2008 but godammit it was worth it."
