There Is...

nothing to see here. move along. long day! long night. lots to do tomorrow, as always. don't forget to not wear shoes tomorrow, in honor of a day without shoes. check out the website if you don't know what i'm talking about. i'll post some more tomorrow and try not to cheap out on blogging like i just did right now next time. sorry! good day! goodnight.

Gruuu... ...

o hai. i made you a video, but i ated it. if you know what the title of this blog means, you're pro. like super pro. and i like you, a lot. today was a pretty good day, but it's starting to get hot. i enjoy heat in terms of weather, but it doesn't lend itself very well to vlogging and driving at the same time, as you end up with audio issues. if i were less lazy, i'd actually edit my audio separately and make it all sound a ton better, but the way i edit my stuff makes that slightly difficult.

and now all of our bill payments are scheduled for this month. ahh, responsibility. between what we have in our bank account and what is going out this month, there is a $0.42 difference. awesome! but i'm expecting two unemployment checks before the end of this month as well, so that will be our money to spend this month. and this month's budget includes a few hundred dollars for a bed, which we may be getting as soon as tomorrow night. why am i excited about budgets? i'm getting old.

tomorrow i've got a lot to do. i love this weather at night. i'm almost caught up with my youtube subscriptions, thanks to my wife instituting a ban on playing world of warcraft tonight. looking at the night's progress, i'd say that was a good decision. and look, i'm still up way too late at night, so clearly i'm not just staying up to play. i just have a sleeping disorder! hooray? i don't mind it. but for my wife's sake, i'm going to start slowly moving my bedtime closer to something the average person would deem reasonable. we'll see how that works out.

Out Of The Woods

another day past, another class finished. it's nice to know that i don't have to worry about school for another week for now. pretty cool. tonight, christin made the awesome chicken again and i wasn't so hungry. so i get to eat the rest tomorrow, which is great! i'll be making a video tomorrow too, and doing some other editing for a few other projects. good times. i decided today that i really need to get a drum set and a microphone, maybe some other instruments and start recording music with my wife... because my creative needs are not being met, and there are songs to be written.

got a chance to raid the trial of the crusader for the first time tonight. it was fun! i got a couple items and the achievement for doing it all the way through. pretty efficient for a pick-up group. so yeah. that's all i've got for now, it's mad late and i'm getting tired. gotta get my sleeping schedule on track starting tomorrow, for sure. been staying up too late because i'm just not tired. i still get up at the same time every day, but i'm seeming to be less tired at night. weird. goodnight.

Killer, Dude.

i can't do this tonight. so tired. ;-P is this cheating? today was easter. it was cool. i like turkey and rice and lemon bars. i ate too many robin eggs. my wife is sleeping loudly, it's very cute. i has a kitty and a puppy. they are my only friends. new justin bieber, baby. please don't dance on my bowling alley, and i will not bowl on your dancing alley. goodnight, friends. better blog tomorrow, i promise you.

Helping Yourselves

the title of this blog is inspired by the fact that i haven't yet titled any blogs with any words that start with the letter 'h' and that bothers me. i'll be doing the other letters this week as well. how to train your dragon is probably the best dreamworks movie i've ever seen [which isn't that big of a compliment, because kung-fu panda was 'okay' and i hate the shrek series] and in general the best animated film i've seen since the emperor's new groove. that's saying a lot for me, because i like a lot of animated flicks. ;-P

today we had a date. we saw that movie that i mentioned, then we went to friday's for dinner and had a lot of food for not so much money. then we went home and i helped christin [read: checked twitter and played collapse free on my phone and did a couple things for her] make lemon thyme bars, which hopefully will be good. tomorrow is easter, woo-freakin'-hoo. i should be more excited. we are going to our church for the 8:00 service, if christin isn't too tired [which she will be] and our brother's pentecostal church mainly to see our niece act in a play.

then it's dinner at the parents'. turkey! rice! woo!

i'm excited that i'm on a schedule now for my videos. it's going to be a challenge to stick to it and do them on time, but we'll see how it goes. when i put myself on a deadline, i either fail miserably or keep it religiously. but hey, i've done well on this blog for the past 45 days now, so i'm fairly confident that i can make it happen. i didn't aim particularly high or anything. it's time to sleep, so if i need to get up at 7:something i can. even though i probably won't need to. and i'm not even remotely tired. i will force myself to sleep!

Written On Your Face

this bunny isn't as good as the other one. just sayin'. i made a video today about robin eggs. i hope you like it. leave a comment on the thing in the thing and link it wherever you wish. i could use the promotion! i had a huge headache of a time getting the video to work properly post-editing, thanks to quicktime being a total failure. every time i want to sync my phone, i have to install the newest version, whereas every time i want to make a video i have to downgrade to 7.6 because apple cares more about making tons of money selling giant ipod touches than they do about fixing bugs in their crappy software.

tomorrow, i believe, we have no plans. that will change soon, i'm sure, but it's kind of nice to know that i don't need to do anything [besides edit the video footage i didn't finish today due to lack of time and technical difficulties] and yeah. i don't know what i'm saying. why am i blogging? it's time for bed. goodnight to all of you. thanks for reading. it means a lot, even though you guys never say anything on here. i'm confident that people actually do read this.

VIctory Over Ford!

no, the title of this blog is not the name of a turisas song... though it could easily be one. today i got a check forwarded from my dad for $1220 from ford motor credit. let's back up a bit. ;-D when we moved to hong kong, christin was paying [way too much a month] for a car and we couldn't get rid of it. the car was not worth what she owed on the private market, so we surrendered her focus at the dealership. they said 'no problem' and sold the car. shortly afterward, they sent us a settlement bill for basically the difference between what they sold the car for and what she owed.

we had no idea this was actually illegal.

that's right folks, if you surrender a vehicle you're making payments on, the company cannot make you pay them a settlement or continue your payments after the car has been returned to the one who owns the pink slip. two years after this event, we got a letter in the mail from a class action law suit that said we'd get all the money back. this was good, because we had originally borrowed the money from my parents. it's going straight back to them, but i'm glad it's finally over with. i don't owe my parents anything. this is a huge deal for me.

today i went to the store and bought a ton of vitamins, stuff to make meat sauce [from ground chicken], some cutlery and two chocolate bunnies. don't judge me. i also bought a bag of mini robin eggs. you know, the whoppers with a candy shell? more on that tomorrow. i'll be making a video about it and spending most of the day editing it and the julieandstacy f.a.q. video i should have done weeks ago. i'm such a failure. just got out of my first halls of reflection run, and it was really fun! got some upgrades for dps. for now, i will go to bed because i'm tired.
