You can download the FULL movie here. (Please note, it’s 350megs, so it’ll take a while).

Or watch it individually in the following two youtube clips

Tux and Moooo

Happy three years to Tux, Moo and Me! Today three years ago I went and picked them up from the shelter! How fun!

I love my kitties.

Though they are on a diet lately and I don’t think they are loving me very much. lol.

Nothing else much going on. I _may_ be going to San Diego with Const this weekend. We shall see what the weather does.

Adios!

Digital Cable.

The other day, I was talking to a friend and he mentioned that Time Warner Digital Cable was only $79/month including Cable internet. I’ve been paying $97/month for cable internet and just BASIC cable. So I did some research and sure enough, they have digital cable with local HD stations for $79/month!

Yesterday I went in and picked up my cable box and brought it home! So now I have digital cable and HD stations!!! How exciting. Only 2 years after I bought my HDTV! Hahah.

However… The freaking TV guide thing has ADs on the bottom! HOW ANNOYING! I am paying $5/month to rent the Cable box. Why the fuck are they sering ads to my TV as well!

UGH!

Other then that I am happy with it so far. I haven’t really played with it too much. And there’s WAY to many channels! I think now I may have to go buy an HDTuner card for my Mythbox.

Shopping Weekend

So this past weekend was very expensive for me! I went out and bought a new headboard and some other stuff.

But first! Friday night was Sirin’s birthday, so we had a party at her house. I brought cake and beverages. Very yummy! 🙂 We had an excellent time at her place. We went home (the whole 2 steps) about 2am.

Saturday we slept in and then met up with Jason and Steve for breakfast. After that we went to ZGallerie Outlet. I got an $800 headboard for $150! I really like it. The only thing is that it’s a king and not a queen. But I actually like the look of its size. Now I just have to get matching stuff for the bedroom. Including nightstands!

The whole pick it up and what not was a huge mess too. We got the truck half an hour before they closed and rushed over there. We were all running around like crazy.

That night Const and I went to Buca di Beppo. Our food was really good, but I thought it was a little over priced for what we got. Went home after that, put my bed together and rearranged the bedroom and then watched a movie in my new bed!

Sunday we got up and sat around the house for a while then Jason and Erick met us and we all went to Ikea and then to Home Depot again! Once we were done with that we went to Jason’s, watched The Queen and drank Champagne. Very fun!

Const left after we were done with that and I spent the night watching TV and reading, etc.

Now that I have a new headboard, I really want a new comforter and sheets, I found some on Amazon, I’d be saving $500, but I’d still be spending $300! I’m not really sure I want to spend that kind of money on them! Ugh, why am I so cheap!

Work has been boring.

Adios.

How to recover 2Gigs of space on your new Leopard install!

I installed Leopard the weekend after it came out. Besides the few things I wrote about in the past that aren’t working. I really like it for the most part.

I have a MacBook Pro with a 120 Gig hard drive in there. I allocated 15 gigs to Windows, so that doesn’t leave me with much space really. Since this is my MAIN desktop and the computer I use for everything, I have _everything_ on here. After my recent trip to Europe, I’m running out of space. So I went looking for ways to save some space.

I found three things you can do to easily recover 2 Gigs of space on your mac:
1) Go to /System/Library/Speach/Voices/ and delete the folder called “Alex”. This is the newest voice from Apple, but sadly it takes up a whole 700 Megs of space! Insane!

2) Go to /Library/Application Support/iDVD/ and delete the folder called “Themes”. You just saved 500 Megs.

3) Go to /LIbrary/Application Support/iPhoto and delete the folder called “Themes”. You just saved another 500 Megs!

Suggestions: Make backups on an external drive first and don’t do this if you plan on using the themes to create books/cards/etc in iDVD or iPhoto. I don’t use either of those options, so it’s an easy and quick fix.

(I take no responsibility if you break something)!
