Hey one good thing
So I go to cancel my Gym membership. I was still going to get charged for October, since I found out that I was getting laid off too late to avoid it. So I'm mainly trying to saving myself some cash come November. Today was the last day I could do it and not get charged. So I fill out the paper work and hand it back. I ask, "If I find a job before November can I cancel this?" She goes in to how maybe it depends on when they process it etc. She says to call customer service and see what they can do. Crunch gives me two free months. Yay!
So I have 2 free months of my gym membership. I think I will start going a lot more.

So I stole this from Notrajah. But I wanted to spread it around because I thought it was worth it.
It's stuff like this that gives me hope not only for the future, but for this country.
Fall on the Horizon
Since labor day is the "unofficial" end to summer I thought it weird that yesterday the sun seem to go down earlier. Or was it just my perception.
The 1st in a set about this weekend's excursion to the Zoo & Aquariums in the city. Check out my Jellyfish pictures.
Oh Shit its the Fuzz!
So last night around 9:45 or so my doorbell rang. The person said they locked themselves out and that they lived in 2R. Now one of the girls in 2F has done this, so it wasn't so weird for me. And I figured I am going to do this at some point too. I wanted to be nice. Plus I was pretty sure that a guy lived there, one used to live there, and I thought I recognized his voice.
Well, apparently this guy has been stalking the girl who really lives in 2R all summer. One of the neighbors, Gary, has kicked him out several times before. And this might be why I recognized his voice, I'm pretty sure I prolly passed him on my way out and said hello.
Gary saw him and kicked him out again. I felt really bad for letting this guy in. But the girl called the cops and they showed up. Later they came back and rang my doorbell freaking me out. But they had found the guy hiding around the block, he had a bottle of Jack and some Percocet. He was walking with a limp so the Percocet might be legit.
In the end he spent the night in Jail on some unrelated charges. In the meantime the girl will get some emails together so she can press charges.
Gary and the girl said that it was good I let him in because otherwise she would not have called the cops. So I brought it all to head and maybe she will not be living in fear. I hope some good will come of my error. Either way I'm not letting anyone in ever that isn't seeing me.
Of course this is the 1st time someone has tried to get in that didn't live there.
Your perfect HP man is Fred and/or George Weasley.
Laughter is important to you. You want a guy who's never boring, who can always put a smile on your face, and who can pull the best of pranks and never get caught. Or possibly two such guys. Because let's face it, they're pretty much a two-fer. You get one, you get both. Even if one of them's only a friend, he'll still be around so much you'll feel like you're married to him, too. Sure, they may not seem like the most mature guys in the world, in a traditional sense, but just ask them about their business plan. When they drive you nuts by relentlessly testing their latest inventions on you, you can console youself with that huge stack of cash and dragon-leather jacket. Besides, you know you're powerless against those stereo smiles.
One of my pictures from Terminal 5 of Brian Jonestown Massacre. I like how the person hands go around the band members in this shot. Check out the rest at my Flickr.
A thrill-seeking, slightly unscrupulous, tough-as-nails archaeologist, Lara Croft travels the world in search of ancient relics perhaps better left hidden. She packs two Colt .45s and has no fear of jumping off buildings, exploring creepy tombs, or taking on evil meglomaniacs bent on world domination.

Okay who here uses Pandora? I just started using it and I find it pretty fascinating. Anyway here is my profile.
Your result for The Multiple Intelligences Test...
Predominantly Visual / Spatial
55% Visual, 9% Bodily, 9% Interpersonal, 9% Intrapersonal, 9% Music, 0% Linguistic and 9% Mathematical!
Visual/Spatial intelligence involves the potential to recognize and use the patterns of wide space and more confined areas.
Your predominant learning style is visual/spatial: this means you have the ability to see the visual world accurately, or to recreate or alter it on paper, in the mind or in direction and distance. Non-sighted people have a strong spatial sense, which helps them think about their movements.
The Weird and the Bothersome
So last week I get on the N and there is this woman. She was really unremarkable, but I think I noticed her because she looked so tired. Anyway fast forward to later that same day and I see her on the D train. I do sometimes see the same people, this was the 1st time I saw someone twice in a day and on two different trains.
Also I got a beef with Bus riders. The doors clearly state that when the green light is on you can press the yellow tape and the door will open automatically. Now you can press this yellow tape and keep pressing it to open the door faster. But by pressing the tape the door will stay open. If you don't press the tape it will slam shut. It doesn't take any more effort to do this, why don't you do this?!
Also the signs clearly state that you should exit from the rear. Unless your an old person and need the front to get off because it leans down, because that's cool. But I'm and sick of everyone leaving from the front and I have to wait forever to get on, annoying.
I think taking mass transit without caffeine causes me to bitch.
Dennis, my Dad, Birthday today (7/14)
Many of you already know this but, today would have been my Dad's 58th birthday. He died at 49 of Lung Cancer.
This is one of two times a year I try and honor my Father by getting a nice glass of whiskey and toasting to him.
He was far from perfect, as most people are, but he was a great Father to me. He is still an influence for me to this day.

54% Aggression and 38% Leadership!
You are the Foot Soldier. Solid, determined, and capable, you do what needs to be done. You don't go looking to start fights, but you don't have a problem with ending them. Preferring others to lead, you serve to protect the core of the group while others think the big thoughts.
This is what I did on Saturday. Bought the tickets back in April, went with my friend Allison.
P.S. This is my vid. We got to be in a pretty good area, I was afraid since it was GA we wouldn't.
Wall-E
I loved this movie. Incredibles is still my fav, but this one was so cute and original. It's my number 2.
I have to say this kudos for having the guts to put out a movie that the majority of dialouge is not really spoken per-se. Even more praise for pulling it off in an awesome way. If you haven't seen it go for now. I think that seeing it on the big screen is even better because the texture and rendering in this movie is amazing.
For those that don't use Flickr/Facebook here is some picture from the Telectroscope. It was a cool installation, but I did expect the live view to be better. Really just wish the weather was better, too cloudy. Live view shot at the set.
BTW, I posted an exterior shot rather than the cam view for you Jimmy! go go Steampunk.
