I've been thinking about checking out Netflix on my PS3 as well. You get that free trial and after that its like 8 bucks a month I think. Beats Torrents. Those may be free but then you have to go find them, download them, which can either be fast or slow depending on when you download. And sometimes you end up getting a shitty quality where the audio isn't synced with the video. Not cool!
So living in Canada is all well and fine but sometimes Canadian people can be annoying pussies! Today was our first snow fall of the year and it was 0 degrees celcius. -5 with the wind chill. A little cold but nothing noteworthy. When I get to work today everyone is bitching about the snow and complaining about how cold it is even though its not that cold. It was non stop all day people's complaining. Being Canadian and living here for their entire lifetime, and being used to -30 to 35 (last year in Feb. we pulled up to -40 and THAT is something to bitch and complain about) you'd think they could easily get over one day of minus 5 and snow. And know what's really funny? We also have about five Filipino staff members as well. When they came in today they made a quick comment about the cold and the snow then they were done talking about. The people from the hot country, who have more of a reason to complain about the cold, did absolutely NO whining yet the people who are used to harsher weather than this kept crying about it. I don't get it.

You had snow already? I hate you. I want snow. Well, not Oklahoma snow... I liked Ohio snow. Oklahoma "snow" is just ice. Yuck. Here in Oklahoma we hit 88 degrees today. ITS ALMOST FREAKING NOVEMBER!! WHY ARE WE STILL NEARING 90? Stupid state!

Happy Halloween everyone! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Not just because of candy (yum), but also because of the spookiness of the holiday. I don't like slasher movies or gross out movies, but I do like the creepy/scary movies. I also like Supernatural, Fringe, Buffy, Angel, etc. Today dad & I are going to play Animal Crossing: City Folk (my mom's town) a lot. We also plan to watch THE WALKING DEAD! (which I know will be gross, but it just looks so cool). Can't wait. Oh and btw, I wrote a special Halloween spoof in DF2506 Presents. Its a spoof called The Walking Twilight. So, its a spoof of the Walking Dead & Twilight. LOL. Just a warning though, if you're a fan of Twilight, you may not want to read it. hehe. Its all in fun folks. Man, I love Halloween. DF2506

Happy Halloween! its my wedding anniversary! eeeek!
I am making plans to head south and visit family in December. I am going to rent a cottage so I dont have to couch surf, or deal with being on someone elses schedule. I can come and go as I please, and come in as late, and leave as early as I want to. If I want to sleep in, I can! If I dont want to clean someone elses house to be a nice guest...I dont have to! If I want to watch TV in silence for an hour I can! Granny just isnt able to sit quietly for an hour. She would literally explode! Booom! Granny bits everywhere!
I think i will go Visit AC. Lets see what my town has been up to. Maybe I will go see DF.

I'll be watching The Walking Dead tonight for sure. Can't wait! We rented the old Dracula movies. The black and white ones from the 40's. I've never seen them before so I was quite surprised that Bela Lugosi only played Dracula once yet he is so famous for it. A friend and I also rented Trick r' Treat. It was pretty interesting. It was three story lines that happen simultaneously and the movie cuts back and forth through time showing each story line and from different perspectives. It was like a Pulp Fiction Halloween movie. It was cool.
Before The Walking Dead tonight I might watch the old school Night of the Living Dead. Its old, its black and white, and its pretty cheesy but its one of my favorite movies of all time. ♥

WEll I had applied for a transfer to Canada with Coca Cola... Turns out they wont let me. That really sucks. I am not giving up though. I do need to try and learn French, and apply for a Skilled Worker Visa. Then I can start applying for jobs up there!
In other news, I just want to stop working all together and spend my days drawing comics. I know this isnt really going to happen, but damnit other people do it, why cant i? Grumble...
Oh, and our PS3 mysteriously died. I think the hard drive we put in it is running too hot, because its not a common thing for PS3's to die. I just hope I can save all my gave data because I was Sooooooooo far into so many games. Especially Suikoden! They tried to give us a non backwards compatible version, but we said hell no. I have to be able to play Suikoden!
I just want the damn thing back, but in the mean time I am spending my nights on Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead. LOVE these games!

Well I am sitting here waiting for my Doctors appointment. Woke up yesterday with incredible pain in my gut, and its still here. Stupid body. I dont have enough time off work to cover this today! Argh. Hopefully its nothing and I can go into work afterwards!
Sadly though I have been up all night tossing and turning. Maybe I am stubborn but I did not want to go to the ER. Oh well.

The Walking Dead is a fucked up show! I can't believe they can get away with half the stuff on it. Its bloody as hell. I like it, but I'm surprised to see it on TV. This kind of thing is usually saved for movies. I like it cause it focuses on the characters a lot too. Its not JUST zombie fest. I think a lot of newer movies in the genre stopped focusing on the characters like they did in the past and thats why the movies are sucking as of late. This show seems to be going back to the roots.

I think a lot of newer movies in the genre stopped focusing on the characters like they did in the past and thats why the movies are sucking as of late. This show seems to be going back to the roots. I agree with your comments. Its shocking what they are doing. My only concern: I hope they don't go overboard. We don't need something super gross every episode & they don't have to top themselves with the Gore each episode (have it get more gorer with each episode). I really like the story & the character drama, but if they go too overboard with the Gore, I'm gone. I'm not really a gore fan. I'm not even a regular Zombie movie fan. But I like the two episodes of the show so far (despite the grossness of the second episode). I just don't want too much gore. Not saying there shouldn't be any, because hey, its a Zombie show, but here's hoping they don't forget that its a top quality drama too. The show has so much potential. I don't want it to turn into your regular gorefest Zombie movie. Oh and btw, the show has ALREADY been renewed for Season 2. The ratings have been GREAT. It'll have a 13 episode season 2. The first season is only 6 episodes... Anyway, on a different subject, I took some Civil Service tests at my local college and plan to take more soon. The tests will, hopefully, help me get some kind of job. There are 16 tests I can take (16 different jobs), but some of them I have to wait till there's an opening to take them. Still, this is the best chance I've had at a job in...well...quite a while now. Hopefully, it'll work out. Other than that, not doing much. DF2506

So I go tomorrow for my consultation with the Urologist to discuss my options on extracting this damned stubborn Kidney stone. Apparently its 6.1 mm big, and I guess that is not a good size or something. He said 5mm and under are not bad and can be passed typically, but mine is apparently a mutant.
I have been able to do a little work on my comic while this ordeal has been happening. I really wish I knew how to advertise this sucker without blowing all my money. It just seems difficult. Anyone know anyway to promote a site super cheap or even free? I want to be doing Office Ninja a lot more than once a week, but until its paying the bills that just cant happen.
