New Job, New Opportunities
Mar 7th
Well, where to begin? Started a new job on the first of February; I’m an inbound sales rep for communications giant Cox, and it is a blast. Amazing hours, absolutely epic benefits, and to top it all off, complementary cable and internet services. I’m loving it. The people whom I work with are an absolute blast, and the call center itself is very laid back. I could roll up in ripped jeans and a tee-shirt and no one, not even the main boss man, would even bat an eye.
In other news, it would appear that I will be racing once again with the guys from FinalGear again come fall. Not too sure which race we’ll be going to, but we do have a car. Can’t really mention what car we have, but I can tell you — It’s going to be blazing fast. The car we had fall into our laps has over 280 horsepower and near-as-makes-no-difference to 300 torques. It’s gonna be scary fast. I do believe that the Jethro Tull song BroadSword should be our team song for as long as we race this car.

Just a quick post for a video I just found of a 101 year old man buying a brand new Camaro.
Fox + Torchwood = …?
Jan 20th
Apparently, Fox is developing its own version of the BBC Sci-Fi hit Torchwood. According to reports, it is going to star John Barrowman as Captain Jack and have most, if not all, of the original BBC production crew. Hopefully Fox won’t completely ruin it, or worse, make a fantastic show and kill it off in the middle of its prime.
From EveMyles.net;
Huge news for sci-fi fans: Fox is developing a stateside version of the
U.K. hit series “Torchwood.”
The project is from BBC Worldwide Prods., with original series creator Russell Davies writing the script.
A more straight-faced spinoff of “Doctor Who,” “Torchwood” is about a covert group that investigates and fights alien activity. Two series aired domestically on BBC America as well as last year’s well reviewed stand-alone miniseries, “Children of Earth,” which broke all ratings records for the network.
Unlike U.S. adaptations that have gone awry, “Torchwood” fans can take comfort that the original producing team is on board. In addition to Davies, exec producers include Davies’ producing partner Julie Gardner (former head of drama at BBC Wales for the show’s first season) and Jane Tranter (another BBC vet, now exec vp programming and production at BBC Worldwide Prods. in the U.S.).
Also, some of the current cast — most likely John Barrowman, who plays the immortal Capt. Jack Harkness — might star if Fox orders “Torchwood” to pilot.
As for the new show’s plot, the U.S. version will contain a global story line compared to the more localized sensibility of the first two BBC seasons.
Chrysler: All Aboard the Fail Boat!
Jan 19th
Chrysler has just issued a wide-scale recall, affecting more than 24,000 vehicles. Ranging from the Sebring all the way to Jeep and RAM trucks. There goes the masses’ thinking that Chrysler still made a proper product.
From the AP:
Chrysler has recalled 2010 models of the Sebring, Dodge Avenger, RAM, Nitro and Jeep Grand Cherokee because of a defective part that could cause brake failure.
No accidents relating to the brakes have been reported, but the automaker is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on the recall.
To remedy the situation, Chrysler will replace the brake booster input rod retaining clip free of charge. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1 (800) 853- 1403.
The Screeching!

I have just heard sounds in this video that I haven’t heard in upwards of 15 years. I do not miss them.

Jan 13th
Just discovered a new classic rock station in my town, called The Brew. Been listening to them for the past hour and a half, and I must say… They’re quite good. From what I can tell, they stick mostly to 80s rock like REO Speedwagon, Styx, Def Leppard and ACDC. Scoot on over and have a listen if you like music from that era.
Deathly Hallows Trailer
Dec 6th
A two minute long behind the scenes look at the latest Harry Potter movie, Deathly Hallows has been leaked online. It’s actually quite good looking, and it looks like the gang spend a fair bit of time in muggle areas, from what I can tell. I’ve mirrored the video here, due to it constantly being deleted from video sites, for all 3 of my readers to watch.

Playing Outside
Nov 7th
It’s such a beautiful day outside right now, I really wish I could go out and enjoy it. And that’s unusual for me, since I tend to be what some people would consider a “basement dweller.” You know, ones who almost never go outside, except to go from one place to another, where they again stay inside until it is time to leave. Pitty that I am not really an outdoors person, really.
In other news, I have a new love, The Motorola Droid. Just look at it’s sexy lines! Sleek, black plastic; a full, slide out QWERTY keyboard, gigantic touch screen, and to top it all off, the lovely Google Android 2.0 operating system. Now, I will admit, I am in love with my current iPhone 3G. I stroke it, I fondle it, it has applications that are quite astonishing, and I am in absolute love. However… I am getting tired of the constant fuckups by AT&T and their ”Ohhh, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with our network, and I have no idea why you don’t have any service!” crap. Sadly, I am quite broke, so I can’t afford to really cut my losses with AT&T and run over to Verizon, even though they have a map for that.

This man is seriously living a dream. I would give my left testicle to do half of what he can do in a car.
