I watched the wickerman this weekend, not as good as the song from Maiden

My zune review,

this is my first full portable media player outside of a mambo nano I had for about a week, then returned.. I have had mp3 players for several years but not a full media player until now. I looked around for quite some time before I committed. Here are my thoughts on it.

Why not an ipod? Well I got to tell you, it was never in the running. I didn’t like the screen size and audio quality. The 2 things I was looking for in a media player.
I looked at a the zen M and it was really more of the same, lots of supported formats in it and an improved audio quality but still didn’t care for the screen size. The zen W would have been a good choice, but it was 50 bucks more then the others.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with it. 3 inch screen and overall great sound quality.
Musically I have been listening to music a lot more since I got it and the sound quality is superb. I did have to get different ear buds, my ears must be shaped differently, not bad, probably better then regular ears, since then no complaints,
Video wise, I got a software from cucusoft that lets me convert dvd’s to zune and I have a cable hooked up to my pc so I can transfer tv directly to zune (again using cucusoft to format it). So I got plenty of media. Without the cucusoft (which I am kuku for) I would be dead in the water.
Great quality for dvds and above average quality for tv shows that were converted.
The other features like fm tuner not that big of a deal to me, the wireless aspect isn’t really appealing to me either. I only have 1 person I know with a zune and I hate the music he listens to, so not interested in sharing music with him.

I have it 10 thumbs up out of 10 if I had 10 thumbs (my shop teacher said I did)

My wife's parents celebrated their 25 wedding adversary. I got to give it to them, that is a long time. My parents stop celebrating it a while ago. Can't think of the exact date but it sticks out in my mind. man this is gonna bug me. hmmm
oh i remember, it was that same year that they got divorced.

Free coffie today. i am on my 6th cup. i usually only drink about a cup a day. i am at the stage where i can here people change their minds before they actually do.

Ok, here is a real one, since this blog is weird, we'll do the word weird

Dave Wilton, Saturday, February 17, 2007
Weird is an example of a word whose most common modern meaning is quite different from its original English meaning. The word, originally a noun, dates back to Old English, where it meant fate or destiny. By the Middle English period, it was being used to refer the three Fates of Greek and Roman myth, and in Scotland this sense evolved into that of a witch. This Scottish use was Shakespeare’s inspiration for the three weird sisters in Macbeth. The modern adjective, however, does not appear until the 19th century, undoubtedly modeled on Shakespeare’s use.
Weird is found in Beowulf (spelled wyrd) as a noun meaning fate or destiny:
Gæð a wyrd swa hio scel.(Fate goes ever as fate must.)
and
Hie wyrd forsweop on Grendles gryre.(Fate sweeps them away into Grendel’s clutches.
Also, quite early on it was used to mean someone who controlled another’s fate, either a personification of fate, like the three Moirae and Parcae (Fates) in Greek and Roman myth, or a magical being such as a witch. Hessels’ Corpus Glossary of Old English glosses wyrde as Parcae from sometime before the year 725. And Chaucer has this from his c.1385 The Legend of Good Women:
The werdys that we clepyn destene Hath shapyn hire that she mot nedis be Pyetous sad.(The weirds that we call destiny have determined that she must necessarily be piously solemn.)
The use of weird as a synonym for witch was quite common in Scotland. From Peter Heylin’s Microcosmus of 1625:
These two...were mette by three Fairies, or Witches (Weirds the Scots call them).
The use of weird as an adjective dates to around 1400 and is found in the manuscript (Scottish) Trojan War:
Vþeris said sche was, I trow, A werde-sister, I wait neuir how.
The phrase weird sister is found in several manuscripts leading up to its most famous appearance in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Until its appearance in the Scottish Play, the adjectival use was restricted to the phrase weird sister. Only after Shakespeare used the term, did its use expand to other contexts.
The modern adjectival sense, meaning strange or uncanny, dates only to the early nineteenth century. Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary only records it as an adjective, “no longer in use,” meaning skilled in witchcraft. Shelley uses the word several times. From his 1817 The Revolt of Islam, used in the sense of something supernatural:
Some said, I was a fiend from my weird cave, Who had stolen human shape.
And from is 1815 Alastor, used in the sense of something odd or strange:
Mutable As shapes in the weird clouds.
(Sources: Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd Edition; Beowulf, tr. Seamus Heaney)

I hit a new low yesterday.

Well, let me refresh that. I went to the new Lowes yesterday. Wonderful store full of lots of things. The people who worked there were so full of life that I have dubbed them Lowe lives.

I was once told that I was making a person look bad. This wasn’t true, he made himself look bad and I just brought light of it to everyone.
He is one of those guys who milk every assignment and take forever. Does anyone have a guy at work where if you have to wait on him to do something you know its going to be 10 times longer then it should take? That is him in a nut shell. Full of excuses, full of blames, full of hot air. If he wants something to make him look bad, how about a mirror.
I hates him.

OK, if you read the last post, then you might of asked yourself about http://www.catchthings.com/ like I did.

I went there and sure enough, it was a picture of my ex-wife and the diseases you would catch if you slept with her.

Here is a stretch for a website:

http://www.throwthings.com/

its about things you can throw.

you can buy this mug



and then have someone throw it at you, for going to that website and buying that mug.

as a side note maybe it should say somewhere on the mug; "do not throw or it will break"

sometimes i park in handicap spaces
while handicap people make handicap faces

I got a zune yesterday.
