Random Website - jamesbondlifestyle.com

I found this site this morning while searching for free sunglasses on the net. It's a pretty cool deal if you ask me. Check it out.

Is Golf that exciting? - FBR Open

A dumber man than I would complain about yesterdays events. But not I. My boss managed to procure several tickets to the FBR Open up in Scottsdale this weekend, a golfing event that runs Tuesday through Sunday. Now here's the deal, the weekend is when they big boys are playing, the famous names in golf and such. Tuesday, well not much happening on Tuesday. Guess when I get to go, yup Tuesday. So, I didn't see a lick of golf. It probably didn't help that it was raining. However, our tickets were for the skybox, so instead of watching golf, we got free drinks and food. The end result from yesterdays events from my view? Leave work early, get free food and free drinks. Not too shabby. The golf thing? Well, maybe next year.

Mesa Airlines 100th Regional Jet Picture

I was snooping around the network at work today for JPG files. Look what I found, a picture taken from when Mesa Airlines was celebrating the purchase of their 100th regional jet. Yours truly is in there. See if you can find me. (Hint: I'm in black & gray.)

Coffee Tryouts - Three Peckered Billy Goat



So, one of the presents I received during the holidays was a bag of Raven's Brew coffee, called Three Peckered Billy Goat. It's a good dark roast type, tasty enough. I had to buy my first coffee grinder, just to convert it over to something drinkable.. I'll be a metropolitan type before you know it.

Halloween Pepper?

OK, so I don't have many pics from Halloween, although I'm sure more will surface as time goes on. I'm the pepper, if you cannot tell. :) Anyway, I wore the costume to work on Halloween. Was in the top 10 but didn't win any prizes. The contest was rigged. All women in the top three. One a mascot version of the corporate logo, a pair that were 'sixties flight attendants', and a zombie bride chick with nice legs. Robbed I Say! I Was Robbed!

Movie Audition

It's been a few days, but I figure I should post on what's going on tomorrow. This could possibly be the end-all of the wierd stuff I've done. I'm auditioning for a movie. Yup, yours truly is trying for movie stardom. We'll see how far I get. I think there is a website for the movie, but I'm not sure what it is. I did, however find this: Movie Thread There'll be more posts later on about what happened. :)

Webcam Up

Ok, so I got a bug in my shorts, and a need to avoid writing an essay paper, to put my web cam up on my site. The code is very rough & tumble, cut & paste javascript off of some random web archives. The program I found, however is a very tidy little piece of work. It's called booruWebCam, and can be found at www.booru.net. All it does is post a JPG picture via FTP, pulled from a video source on your computer. Fairly customizable and perfect for what I needed. Turn it on while I'm here, and y'all get to see my shining face. :)

Passing and Demi-Gods

Two things:

1. Passed my Statistics class with a C-, woohoo! Even managed to get a B+ on the final exam. Here's to not doing half your homework and still getting by.

2. A friend of mine is aspiring to the position of Demi-God. Particularly the Demi-God of Wine, Women, & Song. Do I need to say more than a chicken quesadilla and a lap dance all within the same hour? I think not. Especially when I didn't have to pay for either. :) Hats off my friend, and may you always avail.

Annoying Plagiarism

As an airline employee of 6 years, I tend to notice when things go a bit awry in the industry. As a life-long computer geek, I get annoyed when I see something like this:

This is a screenshot of the the current Skywest Airlines website.


And this is a screenshot of the Mesa Air Group website, posted only a few days ago.


Notice any similarities? Yeah, so do I. There used to be a similar situation between Mesa's go! Airline website and Spirit Air. Though the similarities are still there, they are not as strong as when first posted.

So Much, For A Weekend

What to say.. My friend Jen had a birthday party at her brother's house. Motley Crue themed, of all things. It turned out pretty good, but I didn't get any pictures worth a damn. Everyone seemed intent on partying with the lights out. If I end up getting any pics, I'll edit them into this post. Other than that, cleaned my fish tanks and spent a fair amount of time on EVE. Boring I know, but I've gotta save cash some how.

Done With Statistics... Hopefully

Finally, done with that wretched class. I'm fairly confident about the outcome, a passing grade. Although if I didn't get at least a 70% I may find myself taking the class again. *sighs* I suppose I'll know come Monday.

Stop the Weary Road

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad my vacation is over. Refreshed of spirit, but tired none the less. I am not one for travel and prefer my breaks spent sleeping late and eating later. Next vacation, not a soul will know until it's over. No obligations and no travelling, just some quality reading time. I think I ate a bad sandwich yesterday, my body is making its discomfiture known.

Statistical Sleep

What is a z-number again? I guarantee I'll forget 5 minutes after I take the final for this class. Ahem... Statistics, the diametric opposite of Happy Hour.

First and Foremost

Strange what you think about in the shower. I'd rather be sleeping, dreaming thunderstorm dreams and dusty thoughts. Lead weights burden my retinas, rolling my eyes out of view. I'd rather not be working, but the paycheck has gotta show somehow.
