Lip syncing my ass! Here are a couple videos I found over at Rolling Stone’s Web site. The girl can sing!

Wow. This is a huge pic of Hurricane Katrina! Check it out:
Pretty cool little PC case, don’t ya think?
Grr, once again my appointment has been cancelled. Originally, Saturday, August 20, we were supposed to get our HDirecTiVo delivered and installed. We got a call that morning though that they couldn’t come out and that we needed to reschedule. Upon calling, I found out they were out of stock. So it was rescheduled for tomorrow. I called today and found out still no HDirecTiVos in stock. I was told they should have them Thursday, but they couldn’t install til September 10th. WTF? Grr, I wanted this HD TiVo in place in time for football season, but it’s looking like more and more that’s not likely to happen. My thing is if they do in fact get them Thursday, why can’t one be delivered out to me Thursday or Friday? I mean the cabling and everything already in place. I just need to hook it up and run the guided setup. I wish I could have got them to just send one UPS or something. *sigh* Hopefully one will have our name on it soon.
So a few weeks ago, Amanda and I went with JC and Krishna out to this new little amusement place off of 70 near Briar Creek called Frankie’s Fun Park. They have an arcade, kids rides, a couple mini golf courses, bumper boats, batting cages and some nice go-kart tracks. So Amanda and I went back there this afternoon to use some credits we had on our little Frankie’s card. We went out, did a round on the Shamrock course, which was a ton of fun. I had a grin on my face the entire time. The track was slick enough, and the karts had enough oomph to make ‘em get a little oversteer going on in corners. After that, we went in for Amanda to get a drink. While, downing that, we walked around the arcade. There was this little game that had an electronic spinner (kind of like Wheel of Fortune). It had six total levels — 1-5 numbered and the sixth level had “Win.” For a buck, you got three spins on the wheel. The goal was to get a positive sum that would get you to the sixth level, where you could choose one of 6 prizes, all of which in this machine were 4GB iPod Minis! So we’re watching a few people do it, and there are two Frankie’s employees watching as well. One tells us they just upgraded the chip to make it spin faster and they hadn’t seen anyone win since the upgrade. We tried two or three times without any luck. Then we headed back out to do a couple rounds of the batting cage, and one more turn around the Shamrock go-kart course. Well, we’re heading back through and realize we have a single buck left on our card, so Amanda suggests we use it on that game one last time. First one, I got +1. The second, I got a -3 I think. On the third and final, I got a freaking 5! So on our last buck and last spin, we get our choice of iPod Minis! So we chose a silver 4GB and it dropped out of the machine and into our possession. How cool is that? We got a $199 iPod Mini for really a dollar, or $4 if you count the early tries. Pretty sweet!
We are so getting totally domesticated! Krishna called the past two nights to go out and we’ve been too tired and busy. We got a lot done today, but it was all old people stuff: finishing off the painting for the hallway, shopping for accessories for the wall. We did go on a bike ride and got some accessories for that will out shopping. I got a Camelbak, not a camel toe, sicko! But yeah, here it is 9:30 on a Saturday night and we’re all ready to snooze. I guess we’re getting old, but neither one of us drink, party, stay out late or any of that anymore. I feel bad, but feel like we’ve been there done that and we’re beyonf that point in our life. Whatever. We’ll hang out another day. It is just going to have to be before our bedtime.
Woo hoo, another HD channel to the DirecTV HD lineup. But the thing is, between ESPN HD and ESPN2 HD, they still don’t have a full time channel of HD content.
