Took Jeremy outside on Friday night to skateboard after I saw some kid skating on Justin.tv. I pushed him around for a little while and then the kids from next door came out. They were playing w/ nerf guns and Jeremy played with them for a little while before they had to go eat dinner.
Holly was sick all weekend. She caught a nasty virus from the nursing home. It's going around pretty good because hundreds of kids had it at pocono mountain. We were supposed to go to Ashley's party but Holly wasn't feeling well. Ken's relatives were supposed to be there and I wasn't looking forward to it. We're supposed to go this upcoming weekend and I really don't feel like going. Started to get the house straightened up. We cleaned most of the downstairs and got rid of Jeremy's old clothes and Holly got rid of Stuffed Animals. Got rid of the cardboard in the garage. Still have to get it cleaned up in there but we're on our way. Went out to Arby's for dinner on Saturday and to Big Lots and Giant. Picked up a rake at Big Lots and odds and ends at Giant. Watched the Rangers game and got really pissed off. Haven't gotten that mad during a hockey game probably since last year's playoffs with Rangers vs. Penguins.
Sunday just hung out all day. Went to Country Harvest to get Holly coldcuts. Tried to take Jeremy outside right before hockey but we were only outside for 15 mins before it started to rain. We lost a ball in the sewer. Went to hockey. Got stuck back on D and didn't play well. I scored once and hit the post on another one. Got one assist. My passes sucked badly though. Went into the boards weird and hurt the ankle. We wont the game.
Ordered our computer!!! Have been researching for a while and went with one more than I intially wanted to spend. I'd rather spend more money with something we can upgrade then get something that will be mediocre for years. Saw this on Cnet and it got very high marks and was a good value for the money. Was going to go for the Gateway FX but this one got higher ratings (even though I kind of wanted the I7 processor). I was back and forth between building one or having one built from the cheaper guys but I didn't want the aggravation either way. We got a great deal for the money and it's highly upgradeable. The approximate ship date is on 4/4 and with five to seven days ground shipping. I hope it ships out on the 4th. It's only coming from Virginia so I imagine we'll have it two to three days after it ships. Supposed to get a free T-shirt and Farcry 2 with the computer. I hope Farcry comes. Also get a lazer mouse and new keyboard. I'm really looking forward to it. Going to give Chris the Xbox once the computer comes. I've been playing Fallout here and there and I should either devote some time to it or forget about it completely.
Our paypal got hacked last week! They stole 410 dollars and bought a camera with it. Holly called the bank to inform them and to get a new card and they refunded our money two days later. We still haven't recieved the card yet.
I started to PVP on Warcraft and I really like it. It's exciting and fun and actually challenging. I'm 75 and should hit 76 tomorrow. I'm having fun with the game and can't wait to see how nice it runs on the computer.

Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Went to mom's for dinner on Saturday. She cooked me rice balls and mac and cheese and choc pudding pie. We stopped off and got her flowers and a cheesecake from walmart. Holly went to hang out with Jess while I was there. Watched the Rangers game w/ Chris and pigged out. Tim and Ryan weren't at hockey and we played Bobby's team. We almost puled it off with only five guys. We pulled to 7-6 but then lost it when they scored two quick goals. It was a good game. I've ben playing like shit the last few weeks. I missed Tuesday night hockey because Jeremy and I were outside playing when Holly got home and it was such a nice day.
Rangers have been playing well lately.
My prepaid Wow time expired and I decided not to renew it. I've been wanting to play but wanted to cut down the time I was wasting playing in order to work on the book more. hasn't really worked out the way i intended. been wasting time doing other things. still trying to find us a new comp. getting closer every day. been watching tom green live every night. downloaded city of heroes trial but wasn't too impressed. i didn't really give the game much of a chance. there's a sale on age of conan collectors edition and was considering picking it up to try out.
We won this weekend at hockey against Ozzy's team. Ryan picked up 6 mins in penalties and it was his fault for a too many men penalty.

Anniversary, Avery Jersey!
Holly got me a signed Avery Jersey for the anniversary!!! The best present i've gotten from her ever! Was debating the possibility of whether or not it could possibly be an Avery jersey beforehand because I was warned not to look at bank statement and was hinted at it more so when I picked up the box to put it in the bedroom. Took great willpower not to look at the shipping label. She couldn't wait to give it to me and I got it the day it came. It's a size L but I'm going to frame it and put it up on the wall. I felt guilty because it was so much money and thought about returning it but I'm going to keep it.
Played pick up hockey on Thursday. Fun few hours. Went shopping after putting it off for too long.
Beautiful weather during the weekend. Jeremy and I went outside to play hockey. We used a garbage can and he was passing the ball well. Then we went for a long walk around the neighborhood. Walked on the road behind ours where all the new houses are being built. Went to walmart later in the night to get some toilet paper and other odds and ends. Picked up Halo calendar for 2.00. Was debating on whether or not to get WOTLK and then return it once the one from amazon came but convinced myself it was crazy. Got ices at Rita's and Holly got a milkshake from McD. Came home and attempted to watch Army of Darkness but fell asleep. Woke up and watch 30 Days of Night which was interesting but poorly executed.
Won a hard fought hockey game on Sunday. Bad penalties called on the other team. One hooking but then Jay started bitching and they gave him double minor. Stupid Delay of game penalties as well. I had three assists, no goals. Came home and watched Watchmen. Good translation, liked it. Was planning on getting free tickets from Best Buy promotion but didn't do it.
Hit 70 with Lock and downloaded the WOTLK trial. Was very happy to find it works. Ran Utgarde Keep with no problem but we wiped a few times in Nexus. One time was my fault, tabbed an enemy that we weren't attacking which agro'ed more elites. They blamed it on the felguard but it was actually my fault. Plus our priest kept D/Cing and it was a pain in the ass. Also wiped a few times in Steam Vault but finally beat the boss after 4 or 5 wipes. Tried to run Serpentshire Cavern and the group was doing well. I won a pair of epic boots. We wiped at 3rd boss with boss only having 50/78k and then everyone left after one person left. Pain in the ass. Would've liked to have finished it. Solo'ed a few older dungeons to see them and to get achievements. Did Gnomer and Wailing Caverns. Did this late at night, naked so I wouldn't have to pay to fix gear. Got killed about 8 or 9 times before I got into instance. Started soloing Stratholme. Took hours to find the "Key to the City" but it was fun and challenging. Made some gold and got lots of runecloth. Made a DK and have one more quest and then i'm done with the starting zone. The Druid doesn't seem to be getting as much rested XP as the DK.
Installed Age of Mythology and I really hate the interface. Can't read what the buttons do because the help text is white. I suck at RTS but I'd like to play them. I'm going to give it another try. Or maybe i'll put Starcraft on here. Started Fallout but i'm not even out of the vault. Jeremy changed the settings on the xbox to Russian and also changed my avatar.
Did most of the federal taxes but still have to finish. Haven't had the ambition to do it. We're going to get a sizable return.
I'm craving a new mountain bike and new computer. The Ibex Frame is only 400 but I don't know how much I'd have to spend to get it up and running. Is it going to be too difficult for me to put together. Most likely, yes. The option to build a computer is always there but once again, am I going to be able to do it. I also want a nice monitor. Birthday is coming up soon so we'll see where we're at when it happens.
Started running on treadmill and don't know if the dust in garage has made me sick. Have had a scratch in my throat for what seems like a week now and didn't feel all that well tonight.
Our anniversary was today. Took Jeremy out to get presents for Holly. Bought her a figurine and picture from from Halmart and flowers from Giant. Got a card in there and bought a few odds and ends. The inside of the store is very nice and they have high quality pastries, fish and meats. Bought some bagels there and they're comparable to Panera. Got a pizza tonight for dinner.
Need to start reading comics again.

New TV
Been layed off for three weeks now. Haven't done much of anything. I keep putting off working on the book and now I must start. I will work on it after Holly and Jeremy go to bed or during the day if Jeremy is good. I think at night is the best bet. I have to make a strict work time that I'm hoping would be 3-4 hours a day.
Chris came up for a night and we went and picked up my TV. Wound up getting a 32" 720 Samsung for 500. I was trying to get Holly to approve of a bigger TV but this was the right decision for the right money. TV is very nice and the size is decent for the living room. This will be fine until we upgrade, which probably won't be for a year. I returned the RocketFish Wireless Mouse and bought a 50ft Eternet cable. Chris and I extended the hole in the molding to run the wire through. It turned out a little too big but the head of the ethernet cord was so fat that we barely got it through. This route was cheaper then getting a wireless router and the wireless xbox adapter (100).
Got tickets for Hartford and Wilkes Barre. I asked Mike if he wanted to go but then ignored him at the last minute. I didn't know if Dad was going or not and he only let us know 2 days before the game. He went into work early and it was a Wednesday night game, which worked out perfectly. Made it down to Wilkes Barre in about an hour (quicker than I thought). Asked the broad at the toll booth how to get to the arena but she told me to get off at the Wilkes Barre exit. Got lost for a minute but luckily found my way. For future reference, I know either to get off exit 168 or go past the shopping district. Hartford killed Wilkes Barre, scoring 2 short handed goals. Avery scored as well and had a few assists. No one on Hartford looked too talented and Sanguinetti was especially lacking. We wanted to go out to eat afte rthe game but Dad and Chris got lost (thanks to my shoddy directions) and it took them half an hour to get back to TGI Fridays. I got a french onion soup (thick) and steak sandwich. Chris only ordered a soup (fag). The food was pretty decent but they slimmed the menu down and it seems more like a steak house now.
Holly and I were going to go food shopping on the weekend but I scrapped it because I didn't feel like dealing with Walmart on a Saturday and it's in Allentown. We went to Kmart where we got two paintings and some other random junk. I promised Holly Panera so we went down there and had a nice lunch. We bought a Bagel Pack and it's very nice to have fresh bagels in the house. Got the Tomato Basil spread and it wasn't very good. Holly wanted to go to Five and Below and Jeremy and I headed to Dicks to waste some time. I rode around the store on a full suspension Diamondback and you could definitely feel the back shock kick in. I definitely want one now. Putted on the putting green and tried out a few tents. Met Holly in Burlington Coat factory. We bought a few knick knack type things for the house. Headed to Best Buy, missed the turn, changed my mind and headed home. Watched the Rangers kill the Avalanche and watched W. Holly wanted me to lay with her and I did, got up intending to play Warcraft and fell asleep on the couch.
Jeremy walked in on us on Sunday. We were trying to be quiet but it didn't last and before we knew it he was laughing and asking us what were doing. It's a good thing she was still wearing shoes and her pantyhose. She went to Walmart and bought a few things for the bathroom and random junk. I went to hockey. We killed, getting the mercy rule. Tim scored at least 8 goals and I played generally like shit. I started running on the treadmill. Going to slowly work my way up to doing 3 straight miles. Maybe work towards the marathon again?
I've been playing WoW too much. Have my Warlock up to 69 and should hit 70 in a day or two. I played the Druid for a few hours and I really like him. The different combat options make it enjoyable and break up the grind of leveling. I'm going to try to get Jeremy on the druid to help me grind out a bit. Have to figure out the easiest way for him to play w/out dying. Maybe just grind green mobs? I'm going to download the WOTLK trial and see if it runs on this computer. I doubt it. I've been toying around the idea of a new CPU for a few weeks now but don't know what to do. I'd definitely like a nice monitor as well as a new CPU but don't know if spending the money on a gaming rig is really worth it. Can I just get a cheap video card and Ram for this one? Will I use a gaming rig besides WOW?
Big Wheel was rented out so there's no Tuesday hockey for 2 weeks.
