Heroes just became my most favorite show over LOST. Tonight's episode had two huge questions answered. Not stupid stuff like where did Jack get his tatoo and what does it mean. We're talking who's good and who's bad and who use to work with whom. Scenes from next week's episode look to be just as exciting. Not like LOST's confusing scenes with VW buses and junk. I figure I'll finish out this season of LOST but I probably won't be back for next season.
After about fifteen years of not working even with Amazing Barry and an arcade game repair place looking at it, my Tempest game is fixed. I was out cleaning the garage and had the shopvac out and thought I'd clean out the inside of the game to make it nice and neat when ever I get around to taking it in for service when i noticed a wire was not connected on the wiring harness. I was able to pull out the connector it should be attached to and crimped the wire in again and stuck it back in, turned on the machine and got video. I needed to adjust the brightness and focus a little and pop off the front glass to clean out some dead spiders and now it's as good as new as at least as good as a 27 year old arcade game can be.
I'm all McGyver lately. I ordered some Cingular phones for DairyQueen and myself the other day and they arrived and I get no signal at my house. We were gonna give up on Verizon because we get enough signal with those that they will ring but the call is dropped when you pick up the phone. So as a test I took the antenna off the Verizon phone and stuck a small screwdriver in it and the signal jumped up two bars and I was able to make calls. So I duct taped the screwdriver to the phone and I'm good to go. I'm kidding! I didn't tape the screwdriver to the phone. But I know now that I just need to get a better antenna or a booster to use my Verizon phone. The Cingular phone didn't have an external antenna so I couldn't do anything with that one. It's too bad though because it was a nice phone and it had Bluetooth file sharing unlocked unlike the Verizon phones. And Cingular was totally cool about sending the phones back. They didn't try to offer me free headsets or anything to stay with them. That's a refreshing change when trying to cancel a service. If Cingular/AT&T ever gets a transmitter close to me, I'd go with their service.
LOST was ok this week. Not great. You would think after being off the air for 56 weeks they would start up the new episodes with a knock yer socks off episode focusing on one of the original Losties that we've all come to know and love but they start up with a Juliette episode. That chick's bad news and should be booted off the island. Looks like one of the original Losties is gonna die this season. I think the preview for next week's episode gives it away so if you don't want to know, don't watch the preview over on thetailsection.com.
The DOH! Network Enemy Territory server is up and running. If it doesn't show up in the in-game browser you can connect in the console by typing connect dohnetwork.com:27970. Remember to add the port number or you'll get an error because the game will be trying to connect to the Quake 3 server running on 27960.
This is a really cool shooting game. Boxhead

Duuuude! We caught a mouse the other day in a rat trap in the house and it was so disgusting because it was flopping around and bleeding all over the trap and everything and it was just plain sick. I was gonna take a picture but it was the middle of the night and cold and I wanted to go back to bed so I didn't but anyway somebody recommended the Rat Zapper and I went and picked one up today and in less than an hour after setting it the trap had it's first victim. I think I need to make a Rat Zapper cam page where you can watch it in action via the website. Let me look into that. If you've got a rat problem, check out the Rat Zapper today!!!
I think I need to find some new game servers to play on because I think I've scared off all the DCon regulars with my l33t gaming skillz. Lil Trooper still comes around for the occasional ass whoopin' but other than that, everybody else is too yella to fight me.
Less than a week till the new episodes of LOST start again. Woohoo!!
