How not to edit photos
Was going through my feeds and found a link to a funny site, Photoshop Disasters. Shows you exactly how NOT to edit photos. Some are tough to find, some are pretty obvious.
Things I don’t like.
- The water at work. (I drink it, or forget that something, like, oh, iced tea was made by it and I drink it = a day of unhappiness)
- Going to a laundromat. (its not that I don’t like doing laundry, but having to leave and go back and blah blah blah, ya know.)
- Cleaning out the basement and reorganizing it so I can get a washer and dryer. (I should just throw everything away, or burn it.)
- Going to the basement because, frankly, its a disaster. (See above.)
Ohmygollygarsh
So I am planning on going out to see ‘The Love Guru’ just because I enjoy the occasional Mike Meyers movie (I’ll be going by myself since it seems none of my friends here share my appreciation) - and I went to the movie site, and found this great clip…
I love that song, and that makes it just movie that much more funny.
Newest member of the family
So I’m always one for a good bargain, and my roommate made the mistake Friday of reminding me that the Grand Island Public Schools were having their every-so-often surplus auction. They had a few neat things among the usual school stuff (read: lunchroom tables) including about 40 ibooks. Mind you not brand new, top-o-the-line or anything, but still great for playing around with, checking email and the such. I’ll probably take it with me on short trips where I don’t plan on working. Only thing it was lacking was a power supply, which I got for a reasonable price.

Recommended: The Onion Movie
So I enjoy a good parody. I love Weird Al Yankovic, and most of the Zucker movies are at the top of my comedy list.
I was at the video store and came across The Onion Movie and picked it up. I’m truly glad I did - it was great! Funny, but not too vulgar. They skewered everything from our obsession with smoking bans to certain head shaving pop stars. It was quick to the punch, and put together seamlessly. Here’s the trailer:
It reminded me of another very similar movie, Kentucky Fried Movie. And at the end I knew why, because it, like The Onion Movie was touched by one of the Zuckers (as a producer)…heres a great clip from that movie:
Can’t touch this
I was watching tv last night, and saw this video. I had to watch it at least 10 times. Too funny.
Chase be gone.
I sent my last payment to the fine folks at asshats at Chase today, paying off my Amazon card off in full. I was one day late with a payment and they spiked me to a 30% interest rate. Needless to say they moved up to the top of the list for payoff. They didn’t even try to keep me when I canceled the card. As you can see, I’m heartbroken. Next one on the list, GE Money for some emergency car repairs, after that, one of my Capital One cards, then Cabela’s Club Visa. They only have a few hundred dollars on each one, which should be easy to knock out.
Worst. Movie. Ever.
Just a friendly heads up, don’t waste your time on Strange Wilderness. I occasionally enjoy a bit of low brow humor, but this was even lower than I can tolerate. I’m glad I only spent a buck on it (at a redbox), though I kinda wish I had gotten some change back for it.
The List
First person to send me glad tidings for surviving another year:
My mom. (Mark that down in the book!)
“Good morning! Happy birthday honey! Have a good day! Love u lots!”
Next, my roommate:
“Happy Birthday!!!!! The boys and girl are prepared to give you 31 licks and nibbles when you get home.”
Third place by only mere moments, one of the hottest MILFs I know, my friend Mindy, with a simple “Happy Birthday”
The winner of the most creative and memorable wish so far is my good friend Eric, who decided it would be best to call and sing to me. Good to know you can fall back to playing the keyboards, buddy. 
Andee Jo joined the party with a
“Happy Birthday Jim <3 you tons”
The ego stroking will be updated throughout the day as conditions warrant.
