Rainy Day

Leave a comment

Rain rain go away…

It’s not that I don’t like rainy days….it’s just I hate DRIVING in it. And not because I personally hate driving in the rain…it’s everyone else. Everyone goes insane when it rains in Southern California.

At least the internet is working again…

Power On, WiFi Out

Leave a comment

Okay….

There’s apparently been a complication from the work that was done yesterday. I think when they were working on all the power stuff they knocked something loose with the internet.

Cause now we have NO internet.

So, sadly this will be the only post today while we try to figure this out.

Power’s Back

That was an…ordeal…

First off, they told us they were turning the power off at 8:30am. It turned off at 9:45am. Okay. That’s no big deal.

And they were done by 2:30pm instead of the 5pm they told us. Also, okay. No big deal.

What was an ordeal was the cable and internet. My theory is the cable company forgot to turn them back on until about 4pm. Why was this an ordeal?

Well, my father isn’t very calm or impatient when things don’t work when they’re supposed to…wonder where I got THAT from?! Anyways, had to listen to him do that thing men do where they breathe loudly and huff and puff trying to pretend like they know what they’re doing instead of believing not only those around them, but one of those websites (looking at from our phones) that say there’s a blackout in the area.

Bottom line. The actual power outage situation was simple and easy. It was dealing with my parents……..who weren’t even home for all of it.

ANYBUT, I got a lot of reading done. Got halfway through Stephen King’s End of Watch which I’ve been meaning to read for…..four years?

Heads Up

Leave a comment

The power is going to be turned off in my area from 8:30 am to around 5pm…

I’m writing this post yesterday just in case I don’t get a chance to write more posts to schedule post for tomorrow…if that makes sense.

I may try to post random pics tomorrow instead cause that’s easier for me to do from my phone.

We’ll see.

For all the Holiday stuff that’s already out….

The only thing I truly want is the peppermint Starbucks frappuccino….but it’s TOO EARLY FOR THAT! There’s egg nog everywhere, there’s Christmas flavors ice cream, but NO!!

No peppermint frappuccino…..>sigh<

This has been…a SAD…random food update.

I DID IT!!

Leave a comment

So after posting about how I can never finish the video game Subnautica…..

I DID IT! I FINISHED IT!!

I sucked it up and went deeper. I ventured to the depths of depths and found the cure to the alien disease and made it off the planet.

I guess I just needed to post about how scared of the deep sea in a video game to overcome that fear and finish the game.

Thank all of you. You were apart of this milestone.

………………I’m gonna go start another game so I can keep collecting copper and acid mushrooms. Again…..not what you think.

I Got Sucked In

Leave a comment

I started playing a game I haven’t played in a while…

It’s called Subnautica. You are a passenger on a space transporter ship, but it gets shot down and crashes on a planet that is 98% ocean. You have to collect resources and survive, but also find a way to get off the planet without being shot out of the sky…oh, and there’s a virus that’s killing you.

I get so sucked into these kinds of games because I sort of like busy work. Mindless farming is relaxing for me. It also passes time like NObody’s business.

Each completion of one small task leads to another small task that eventually completes a larger task.

I’ve also started this game three times because I really enjoy the beginning before you “go deeper”.

Someday I’ll actually finish the game…but until then I’ll be right back. I gotta go collect some copper and acid mushrooms…not what you’re thinking.

Discussing things that happened…

Time to talk about 5 things that’ve happened and state my random opinion about them:

  1. Instagram getting rid of likes…older news, but I didn’t want to do a random news sooner than a week after another one. Will this bring positive change? Who knows. Will it affect people who make a living on Instagram? Probably, but who knows for sure?
  2. CATS trailer #2 thoughts: Still looks creepy. They added a storyline…ok. They adjusted the coloring of Victoria’s (the white cat) fur…but not really? They added like jaguar spots and made her overall fur a little darker. Taylor Swift still annoys me. How DARE they turn Mr Mistoffelees (……all right, I don’t know how to spell his name from memory…) into a comedic side kick! He is supposed to be suave and like Rum Tum Tugger’s little buddy! COME ON! To be fair, it may not be like that, but it’s what I gathered from the trailer.
  3. Tesla’s new truck…um, what? I don’t understand…when did we revert back to late 90’s graphics? As video games become more realistic…Elon Musk makes the world more polygonal.
  4. Frozen 2 is now in theaters. Will it be better than the first movie? Will we all have to deal with thousands of children singing the same song poorly? I don’t know…I don’t care. The first movie to me had great music (except for one song), but the story was a little lacking. It was the opposite reaction I had for Tangled. Tangled had a strong story, but I wasn’t a fan of the music……..but Frozen is the one that got a sequel……..oh, well.
  5. Personal News: I will be going to a writer’s conference in February…on a cruise ship? I mean, as far as locations go…not bothered. I know the author who runs the conference and he’s given me a lot of feedback on my works in progress. But for this conference, I’m hoping to take the next step and, hopefully, get my book published in the next year or two. But we’ll see.

And that was 5 random news stories.

Anybut, thank you for joining me.

These were MY opinions on each. Your opinions may be different and that’s fine. Now on to more random things!!
