The Aa-Pahoehoe Blog

Made my first purchase on Jellyfish today in the live smack show. Snagged a sweet "300 Poker Chip Set with Aluminum Case" for only $26.50, shipping and tax included (more than 57% off).

Madden 08 really really sucks. Gonna get Tiger Woods 08 this week. That's gotta be better.

I return to LiveJournal at 3:30 AM early on a Saturday morning and see many changes to this site which look cool.

A few notes:

Madden 08 sucks. I hate it.

I need to buy my big HDTV soon.

Jellyfish is an awesome website.

My "new" laptop (Alpine) is finally back up and working again.

It's time for bed... in my new house that I moved into a month ago.

I'm watching Wednesday's Deal or No Deal, and Leyla is not holding case 13 and Alike is not holding case 18! All is not right with the world! This better not be a permanent change. Grrrrr...

Mormons on average weigh 4.6 pounds more than other Utahns, a study by a Brigham Young University professor concluded. The study also found that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were 14 percent more likely than nonmembers to be obese. That was 18 percent for men, and 9 percent for women.

Oh my heck... At least my favorite mormon from Utah is lucky to not follow this trend - Neleh!

Yes, it's February first. So first off, happy birthday to Nate. Also, this is my first new post on my redesigned blog. Like it?

Now on to my reason for posting. I just discovered a new map site. Well, I didn't discover it like I was the first to ever find it, but I don't think it's quite as well known as others. My proof lies in the lyrics of "Lazy Sunday" [aka "The Chronic(what?)cles of Narnia"]:

Well let's hit up Yahoo Maps to find the dopest route.
I prefer Mapquest. That's a good one too!
Google maps is the best. True dat, double true!

So what wasn't mentioned? Windows Live Local. It's currently only in beta and I found it to be quite the memory hog, but I some of the aerial images looked quite nice. Also, in certain areas, it gives you the option to view a very nice, clear bird's eye view photo of the area. For example, here's my high school! And here's my college! Anyway, I just thought this was a pretty cool feature. Yay Microsoft! LOL

Here's the best link Andres has sent me in a long time:

Although, it might not be funny if you've never played the game.

Check out this spam e-mail I got today from someone named Escobar Ernie:

A say sleep
Be travel open

If you can make any sense of that, please fill me in on it.

Ok, so fifth-seeded Mary Pierce just lost in her second round match at the Australian Open. Or as I like to call her, Mary frickin' Pierce. Normally this would make me happy, except this time I picked her to make it all the way to the finals, beating an injured Clijsters along the way in a relatively weak bottom half of the draw. So, this time I'm actually pissed at her for losing lol. This leaves a wide open draw for comeback girl Martina Hingis to make it through to the quarterfinals. Should be interesting.

Tonight, it's getting warmer the later into the night it gets. A couple hours ago it was 56 degrees, and now at almost 5 am, it's 62!!! However, there's a lot of wind and some rain coming. But still, 62 degrees in the middle of the night in January in Pennsylvania... insane.

I think it's pretty funny that this site exists, but I do feel bad for the guy. He's played for the Flyers for so long now that he's recently moved up to 5th on the Flyers' all time games played list. But he's just not good enough anymore. The defensemen brought up from the Phantoms, Freddy Meyer and Randy Jones, are easily playing better than he is. I think they should take a page from the Eagles' book and release Therien and make him a "Flyers ambassador" much like the Eagles did making Hugh Douglas an "Eagles ambassador."
