Smile: Looks like my new TV should be arriving soon, Saturday supposedly.

Dread: I have exactly one month to go get my license renewed. I don't wanna.

:D - I finally figured out the avatar business; only took me over 6 months. :lol:

I'll probably change it, this was a test to see if I could get it working.

Smiled - I was packing for my move into temporary housing last night. You know only the necessities like clothing, toiletries, hand tools, gaming pc, wii, led projector, bluray player, and my dslr. But realized in the tub for pc related things that there was enough free space if I rearranged it to fit my shuttle pc. I built the shuttle in 2005 to play Half Life 2 and its traveled all over the country with me so its only fitting that it is coming with me to the 400 sqft house I am moving into... Also its a 1.6ghz Athlon XP, with 2 gigs of ram, an 80 gig harddrive, and 128meg AGP Nvidia 5700 - which has RGB and DVI out, which means it will be the home theater pc until we move. Still need to find all of my oddball USB adapters though, if nto itll be Wii Classic Controller Pro only.

Ticked - our primary database at work is down and it is the last day of our fiscal month. On my desk I have almost 20k in sales for my sales team, which would put us at quota, but the system is unresponsive with no ETA for the fix.

Smile
La La Land Universal Studios Park had very short lines on Thiursday. Rode the Mummy Roller Coaster twice, almost went back for a third time. T2 was dated but still okay. The Tram old standbys Spinning Tunnel is upgraded to a King Kong theme and both Jaws and the Flash Flood is still there. The Transformers and Simpsons ride simulators both were very good. Even visited Quikie Mart for the Homer Pink monster doughnut.

Ticked
The Silent Hill Haunted Exhibit is a separate add on admission and only at night. That was the whole reason for going, already got gouged for 80 bucks per person was not about to pay more.

A Big Ticked
There is an additional $49 charge to get head of the line privelage. Okay now that is not right, everyone should take their turn in line. At least at the T2 show, late arrival head of the liners cut in front of other head of the line payees. A sort of satisfying revenge even though it pushed us back just a little further.

Regret
I did not buy the Silent Hill TShirt at the Universal Store, due to being upset we could not attend the event. It had the stuffed bunny head covering the background with a knife holding nurse in the foreground all bloody. I really should have bought that shirt.

Oop forgot to mention, I went to the California Universal Studios. No Despicable Me there. :(

If anyone has that shirt, please post a pic, couldn't even find a Google image of it.

Aw nuts.

I can't promise you anything, but I'll see if I can't grab a Silent Hill T-shirt for you. What size?

Smile: Good class discussion today.

Frown: Seriously, you think I haven't heard that excuse before? No, I cannot grant you a special extension. Yes, I will mark it late.

I like these kids, I do. But there is always a handful who don't show up often, never back up their work, and whose computers fail the day before the paper is due.
