Boo!

Hello kids, well it's Halloween tomorrow mu haw haw haw! What a great time of year, we all get to dress up and pretend to be a scary monster, so I guess by that logic, everyday is Halloween if you're Sarah Palin - hey oh!

I also come to you all with a heavy heart, we are losing a family member tomorrow. We are turning in my baby, my car. It's been fun knowing you, but in this economy, we're cuttin' and runnin'. It will be a bit of an inconvenience for a while, but we'll manage and it will save us some dough too but I think everyone nowadays are making these kinds of adjustments. I've also stopped looking at my 401K because it's too depressing so I need to find my happy place, although it's somewhere in TX right now (in case you haven't been following my "happy place" is myPS3).

So my wife Holly is absolutely obsessed with this book series by Stephanie Meyer. The first was called Twilight and she's now on the second book called New Moon. It's a modern day love story about Vampires, Humans, and Werewolves, sounds like a kinky Monster Mash to me - hey oh again! Anyway, it must be good, becuase she doesn't even talk to me anymore. It's fun getting into a good book, I don't think people really do that much anymore. I'm actually looking forward to taking the bus so I can do that. When I worked in Seattle, I went through a lot of books so if there are any good recommendations, I'm listening.

In closing, life is good, work is great, but the days are going to be feeling a lot shorter now with the time change. I almost forgot we are going to the Hawks game this weekend vs. the Eagles so I hopefully our boys can pull it out, it's going to be a tough one, go Hawks, BIRDS OF PREY!!!!

I'm out, I've got turkey spaghetti and the Office waiting for me.

Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!

Cue the angelic music and roll the visual of clouds parting and the sun shining through because I'm gettting my PS3 back on Monday! Celebrate good times, come on! Oh I couldn't be happier, it is a glorious day indeed my friends.

Anyway, I thought I would let you all know as there has been growing concern out there.

So I'm going to attempt to watch this comedy by Ben Stein called "Expelled", I rented it tonight from Blockbuster. I doubt I'll be able to make it more than 5 minutes into the movie, as I fear it will make my brain smaller. Although I did hear the special features are great where they explain the theory of gravity is actually caused by angels who follow you below the ground who job it is to keep you from floating away.

We're also 5 days away from the election so be sure to vote! Obama '08!

Update on my PS3...

Okay, I thought I'd give you all an update on what's happening with my PS3 as I know with the economy and all that's what you are all worried about. So after calling my bank and Best Buy I was finally able to put together my proof of purchase and the PS3 still is under warranty - woo hoo! I then send my email in for the official order so they can send me the mailing label, shipping instructions, etc. I double checked my email this morning and apparently I was supposed to get a follow up email on Tues but did I get that - NO! of course not! So this morning I sent yet another email to Sony so I'm guessing somewhere around 2010 I'll finally get to play my damn game! At least You Tube has provided plenty of gameplay videos for me to enjoy and one of my co-workers has told me numerous times how fun it is - AAARGH HULK SMASH!!! (great movie by the way)

I've tried to refrain from the political stuff, but I just can't help it. Sarah (are you smarter than a 5th grader) Palin once again has proven that she knows absolutely nothing. She yet again could not answer what a VP does, sweetheart it's in the Constitution, it's not hard to find, I mean are you kidding me? I'm sorry but this is one of many reasons why she is an absolute joke and I'm not alone and it's not just us lefty-we hate America- terrorist- types. Oh and that hockey mom who claims she's more like "Joe the Plumber" has been dressed up in over $150,000 worth of clothes - now that's Country First! I could devote an entire blog to her and Grandpa Munster but I digress. Although I do have to say I'm glad it's the silly season because it's been a great distraction due to my Hawks just absolutely sucking - come on guys!

So Holly and I are coming home this weekend. Be sure to get the red carpet ready.

The Anger Sharks are Swimming in my Head...

Okay, so I went to Gamestop yesterday and got my brand new PS3 game called Dead Space which is a space horror game that I've been waiting for like forever. Here is the prequel of the cartoon (www.deadspacegame.com) however it's not for kids! Anyway, I get it home and I'm playing for about 10-15 mins and I just got to the good part where I see my first necromorph (humans that have "turned") and then...my screen freezes - NOOOOOOO!!!!

At this point, I calmly say to myself okay, just reset and try again. Well about 400 resets and two dozen "f" bombs later I get two different error messages. I call the nerds at Gamestop and let them know I need another game disc but the guy tells me he needs to check with his manager which is basically another 19 year old kid that's never been on a date with a girl. They tell me okay which they were lucky to do because I would have let them have it for sure. I bring it home and it's the same thing over and over. I even try other games, nope. So I call it a night...

I get up early this morning and put the game in. Everything is good so far and then the game goes crazy, all these glitchy things happen and then freezes again. I grumble a bit and head off to work and I call the Sony support. They tell me to change a few things which I do and when I put the game in earlier tonight everything seems to work okay and then...BANG! Sorry, error message again - NOOOOOOO!!!

So now I've Googled this error message and to my delight, apparently this is the harbinger of death for the PS3 and I have no idea if it's still under warranty. I've been playing this fricking PS3 for over a year w/no problems. I finally get the game I want and this steaming pile of poo now decides to crap out on me...no pun intended. Oh and by the way, the crappy weather is here, the economy blows, and the Seahawks suck so I guess you know how my months been!

Peace out, JZ

Lots to Talk About...

Okay gang, lot's to talk about so first I will start with my new game, Lego Batman. I have been a huge fan of the Lego series and this game has been a ton of fun. It's great because not only can you play as the good guys, but also the bad guys, or the "evil doers" as Georgie Boy likes to say.















Now on to the Seahawks, I'm very happy to see that we got both Deion and Bobby back to our receiver core, it has been unbelievable our bad luck and we are off to face the Giants this Sunday, what a HUGE game!! So Holly and I got this cool 12th man flag that we proudly fly on gamedays.



Man, I need a Hawks win because I can no longer watch UW play football. I don't know what's worse, watching UW football, or hearing Sarah Palin's TV interviews on a continuous loop. But I'll get to Caribou Barbie next.







Well, it's October now which means it's Halloween and I don't know what else is more scarier than this!















Look, don't get me wrong, I think Sarah is a genuinely nice gal, and she's cute and fun but the only time she should ever be in the White House is if she's part of the tour group. I've listened to her interviews and I watched her in the debates tonight. I'm convinced she's a female version of George Bush (she also doesn't read the newspaper) so if you want more of that knock yourself out. Frankly, I have tremendous fear of someone who thinks humans and dinosaurs hung out together 4,000 years ago, you know like the Flintstones, not only presides over the Senate but also has access to our nuclear codes, and did you catch her saying she wants to "extend" the powers of the VP Office? And what's with the winking? And does it bother anyone else that just by her putting multiple sentences together, it would be a success for her? I don't want the bar low for our leaders, it needs to be high.

Actually, what I'm most upset about is that I never did get a Palin bingo! In case you can't make out what it says on the center square, "Air Space".
