A few years ago when we were working on getting the house by the college ready to sell I bought some sunblock. I forgot when we started but it was taking far too long. We were supposed to be finished before summer time so we wouldn't have to deal with summer but we became extremely lazy.
Well, Summer came and we were working outside most of the time and I have sensitive skin so I bought some sunblock one day before going to the house. I didn't know what to buy as far as SPF because I wasn't clear on all of that. So I bought 2 kinds.
Hawaiian Tropic Ozone with 70SPF because it was the highest they had. I figured that this would be for me since my skin burns in minutes compared to most people.
Banana Boat Sport 30SPF for Chip. But we didn't use it all back then so I still have the bottles and it's a good thing I do because now I need it for the bike.
My arms from my elbows down are really tanned which is surprising that they aren't constantly in any pain lol. My face and the top of my bald head get red very fast and easy so I'm going to be using this for my face since I have a skull cap to wear on my ride.
I think for now I'm going to use the Banana Boat Sport 30SPF but when summer comes and it gets really hot I may decide to start using the Hawaiian Tropic Ozone 70SPF just to give me a little added protection against the sun.
It's too bad an umbrella on the bike would just slow me down LOL.

I Love You Man
Went to see this movie tonight called "I Love You Man". I don't get to go to the movies too often and when I do and the movie is good I like to talk about it. Well, even if it's bad I like to talk about how bad it stunk. This one was good though.
It's about this guy who is getting married and he realizes that he has no guy friends. So he starts to go out on "man dates" to try to get a connection with a guy so he doesn't look like such a pathetic loser to his fiancee.
I can totally relate though because besides all my online friends, I really don't have any real friends to speak of. Since we moved to Bakersfield I haven't really met anyone that I wanted to strike up a real friendship with. Well, there was our neighbor Dan but he's moved away and we really don't hear from him anymore. But he has his own "guy friends" that he's been hanging around with since they were in school.
This movie was totally funny though. Andy Samberg from Saturday Night Live was so good as a gay guy. He actually made gay people look cool by not flaming all over the movie. Good for him.
Thomas Lennon on the other hand. He was gayer and funnier than ever too. Everyone kinda expects him to be outrageous though since he is gay as Lieutenant Jim Dangle on Reno 911.
I thought this was a very funny movie and I was laughing the entire time, even when other people weren't laughing at which point I had to sink in my seat lol.

Picky Eater
I was a picky eater as a kid. I can remember all the way back to when I was about 3 or 4 years old and my mom made some meatloaf and it had tons of onions and green bell peppers and I tasted them and they just did not taste good to me so I picked them all out and only ate the meat. Well, my parent's wouldn't let me leave the table until all that stuff was gone. I think I sat there for about 4 hours staring at it. I just absolutely refused to eat it.
As I grew up I found out that I hated other things like yogurt and American cheese. There were some things I hated but I felt that I should compromise with my mom and just eat them like the greens. I loved spinach because Popeye ate spinach so I had to have it. And not fresh but from the can and it didn't matter to me if it was heated up. You never saw Popeye crush his spinach can then pour it into a pot and heat it on the stove. No, he ate it straight from the can.
My mom learned my likes and dislikes for food and so she would cook for the family but also cook for me. When she made potato salad she would put about 3/4 of the ingredients in a big bowl and the rest in a little bowl for me and she would put all the crap in the big bowl but be selective for me. My step dad on the other hand, he would purposely put onions and bell peppers in my food but hidden so I wouldn't see them so when I bit into the food I'd get a big bite of onions. Bastard.
But this post isn't about me. Oh no, it's about my dog. Dogs are normally always hungry. You can give them whatever and they will eat it with no problem. Within reason though. But you give them something to eat and they don't even give themselves time to chew it, they swallow it whole. Not my dog. Oh no. She's a toy chihuahua. She used to do that but then she learned I guess and so she smells the people food first before she eats it.
I've given her hot dogs (1/2 a hot dog) in the past, I slice them lengthwise to quarter them then I cut the slices so they are little tiny pieces she can chew. She normally likes hot dogs. But all of a sudden now she sniffs them and looks up at me as if to say "you got anything else?".
Yeah, how about your dog food? Oh that's another thing. I've bought her 2 different brands of dog food, she hates it. She will only eat the cats food. Her dog food has different colors like yellow, orange, brown, green. She picks through them with her nose and pushes all the brown ones out and she only eats the colored ones. OMG this is the pickiest dog ever.
I gave her half of a hot dog knowing she might turn her nose up on it and of course she did. I thought well maybe she wants to be hand fed so I gave her a piece and she took it but then spit it out lol. So I gave her a little bit of some life cereal which she ate all of. Whatever dog lol. Whatever. I'm eating some macaroni and cheese with cut up hot dogs in it and she's staring at me like "can I have some?" but she's not getting any.

WD-40 On My Bike
First off, I just want to say a big fat DUH! to myself.
I've been having trouble with my bicycle shifting gears. On November 20th I had an accident going up a bridge while standing on the peddles to try to gain speed and the gears shifted and it made me fall. I had to replace the handlebar and handlebar stem, buy a new computer and a new wheel. I could've bought a new bike with all the money I spent replacing those parts.
It didn't occur to me that the reason the bike kept shifting gears while I was riding because it needed some WD-40. I've had bicycles my entire life and not once have I ever had to spray WD-40 on the chain or the gears. So, now I know and I will keep the WD-40 with all my bicycle tools from now on lol.

Susan Boyle - Britains Got Talent 2009
Have you seen this video yet? OMG This British woman who went on the show Britain's Got Talent is the perfect example of not judging a book by it's cover. Take a look at this.

Wow! Just Wow! Can you believe that voice coming from this woman? Like I said, this is the perfect example of not judging a book by it's cover. Just so amazing. I hope she gets far with this.

Stargate Infinity
I bought the Stargate Infinity complete series on DVD and it arrived today. They didn't have more than 1 season so it's only 4 discs with 26 episodes. Each episode is about 20 minutes and it's a cartoon.
It's neat because as a cartoon they can add bigger aliens that they wouldn't have the budget to build and they also have little ewok type aliens but smaller than the Star Wars ewoks. The cartoon can do things that real life people can't do.
Here is the product description from Amazon:
So far I've only watched the first 2 episodes but I like it. I will watch a few episodes every day until it's all done. Right now I don't have too much time to sit and watch the entire series at one time.
Here is the Amazon link for Stargate Infinity the complete series.

Inspired by the blockbuster feature film and its two popular television spinoffs: Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis, Stargate: Infinity further explores the universe through the eyes of those few who are brave enough to venture through the mysterious Stargate.
This animated series chronicles a generation after the SGC first stepped through the alien device known as the Stargate. The war with the evil parasitic Goa uld is won. The once top-secret Stargate Command and its work have been declassified, and beings from other worlds are living among us.
But now there s a new threat and Major Gus Bonner must lead a group of young SGC cadets through the Stargate to protect the life of an Ancient from hostile new enemies.
