The 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards
The Emmy's are on tonight and we're going to watch it tonight. I normally don't watch the awards shows but I decided it would be ok to watch it. I may have to play Star Wars Battlefront during the boring parts though lol. I'm so glad HBO has 17 channels instead of one because I was able to watch True Blood at 6pm (Eastern Time) because it would normally be on here at 9pm on the west coast. It's actually on at 6pm, 7:30 and 9pm. But since the Emmy's are on at 8pm (red carpet from 6-8) I don't have to miss True Blood until it goes on On Demand.
Birthday Cake
Chip came home from church with a cake today. This woman who goes to his church has a list of everyone's birthday so the Sunday before their birthday she brings in a cake or even up to 4 cakes and gives it to them just before they leave. I think that is so nice. Of course he wanted to have a piece while it was still fresh hehe. It's very chocolaty.
Wet Dog
Flower got a bath today and it was about time. I went to lay down next to her and she smelled really bad. She was so pissed off at me for daring to put her in water and she tried getting away lol. She was fine though in the kitchen sink and I got her all cleaned up and since she barely has any hair it wasn't hard to dry her. Just a towel over her and she's done.
After her bath she was running around the house like a crazy dog. She was mostly running away from me lol. I put her on the bed and she ran over to where the bunched up comforter is and burrowed into it and peeked her head out so I could see that she wasn't pleased lol. Now it's back to sleep for her.

Star Wars Battlefront II
Wow. I never knew how fun this game would be. I guess it's the Star Wars version of Socom. I tried the demo of Socom Navy Seals but I couldn't get into it but if you add some rebel soldiers and a wookie then perhaps I'd like it better hehe.
At first Darth Vader kept killing me but I've learned to avoid him at all costs. I hear him breathing in a cave but rarely see him anymore. I can win the levels that are on a planet (well, 50/50) but when I'm flying in space I have less of a chance of winning for some reason. It's harder to fly a spaceship and shoot because no matter what your spaceship is always flying. You can't stop flying to focus your fire on the other ships weapons or shields or whatever. You have to shoot then fly up or down or whatever, fly away for a bit then come back and shoot some more.
I played it for about 2 hours straight this afternoon and my eyes are so blurry from it because I start out with the PSP near my stomach then next thing I know it's near my face. That's when I know I have to stop for a bit when it's near my face and my eyes can barely see it with my glasses on and I have to start using the bifocal part of my glasses to see then those get too blurry lol. It's time to put it in stand by mode for awhile.

Dell DJ Battery Replacement
Chip bought me a Dell DJ for Christmas 2004 and during 2005 I was listening to it all the time everyday, on the way to the gym or sitting at my desk or even while doing the dishes. I was always listening to it. But over time the battery would die sooner than it was supposed to. Sometimes it would even freeze up and I had to just wait for it to start playing again. I couldn't turn it off or do anything. I just had to wait for it.
The battery is supposed to last like 5 or 6 hours or something and over time the amount of time it actually played kept going down until eventually it only played for half hour. Now when I unplug it it just dies immediately and gives me a screen saying the battery is low.
I've treated that Dell DJ like a baby by never dropping it or losing it. I'm a good nerd, I respect my electronics enough that I don't get them broken or stolen.
I've called Dell that first year when the battery started dying and they wouldn't help me even with my warranty. I was too late in renewing my warranty and so when I called for help they said sorry you don't have the right warranty for this. I was like dude, I have a $318 paper weight now. Thanks a lot. They were like I know, I can understand how frustrating you are but we can't help you. I was like well can I just buy a new battery and ship it to you to replace it and they said yeah for like $75 or something like that. I've never had the money to do that.
Every once in awhile I do a search on the net for Dell DJ Batteries and I found a website that has them for $24.95 + shipping and it has the tools to do it yourself. It says it takes a few min but a testimonial says 10 min. I don't care, I just want a new battery and $25 is not a bad deal. I will have to wait until I get some money because I'm tapped lol.

Great Minds Think Alike
Chip and I have been together for 14 years. We are psychicly linked to each other for some reason. Mostly I will be thinking something and he will just blurt it out and there has only been 1 time when I said something that he was thinking. It's usually him reading my mind.
Like for example a half hour ago I was going to change all the music on my playlist on MySpace and I knew I wanted Gavin DeGraw's Chariot album so I grabbed my Dell DJ Mp3 player to look up that album so I can put all the songs in my playlist and he asked what I was doing so I told him and he said Gavin DeGraw. OMG HELLO! How did he know I was going to put Gavin DeGraw on there?
I tell you it is so spooky that he says what I'm thinking all the time. The one time I said what he was thinking was a couple of weeks ago when I was sick. I handed him my debit card and said call Pizza Hut, I don't feel like cooking anything and he said OMG I was just thinking that. LOL. It's like that all the time here.
