I'm a damn dirty liar... I said that since I installed the new blog software that it was a ton easier to post and that I would do so much more often.. I pretty much have not done that. I really will try to post more often though.
So whats new in my world? Well... I ordered a bunch of parts for my car... needs a new starter, hood release cable, and grille.. I really want to upgrade my brakes this year, hopefully I'll be able to do that still.
Rockband is kick ass! If you haven't played it, you are missing out! It's sort of a sequel to guitar hero, but not totally. I guess some of the companies split up since guitar hero 2... one made gh3 and the other moved on to rockband, which is kick ass, or did I already say that? In any case, it needs to be said again. So much fun... drums, guitar, bass, and vocals. Invite some friends over, have a couple of beers and play all night long. It's a hoot!
Um, what else? Had some issues with my Samsung DLP.. the initial reports were that my lamp needed to be replaced... which was odd because they are supposed to last 8000 hours. Since the tv is only 14 months old, thats pretty much not really possible, well it is.. mathematically, it's about 19 hours of tv a day for 14 months, but realistically... I had a bad lamp. Anyways, 2 months out of warranty, I bought a new lamp. Two hundred bones later, I have a working tv. Worked for 3-4 days and then went back to telling me the lamp needed to be replaced, wow 8000 hours in 4 days, thats unpossible! Off to the service center with my 46" baby... A day later, I'm informed that the lamp power supply is faulty and that it didn't hurt my lamp, phewww! Hopefully, another two hundred bones later, I'll have a working tv and a spare lamp for future use. Waiting for a part, so I might have to go a few more days without it... which isn't a big deal in regards to TV... but damnit, I want to play rockband!
Christmas and New Year's were all good fun, had a little gtg with rockband at my joint with a few peeps, thanks to Branden for loaning out his rocking gear! Family gathering was held at Mike's new house in Oconomowoc, that was a good time, he got a Wii for Christmas, so we had some fun with Wii Sports. New Year's at the Esslinger's cottage in Princeton was a hoot! Some bowling, guitar hero, rockband, karaoke, and of course... some drinking! Good times!
Somebody stole my ipod video. :( Apparently living in the ghetto means your car is safe, but living in a good part of town means its not! Left the jeep at my parents' house one night and my ipod was stolen... but it's been in my jeep in the ghetto for years without issue. So I'm back to the radio in the jeep, which sucks the life out of me! I need a new daily driver that I can drive all year and keep the corrado as my good weather/show car... I'm thinking mk4 gti (1.8t or vr) or golf tdi... golf would really be the smartest because you can really easily modify that engine to put down some decent HP and torque without giving up the great diesel gas mileage.
Wow... so this long post makes up for my lack of posting, right? I really should make some more photo galleries too.. I've been lazy, or busy.. or a combination.
