blues hockey

i got to go to the blues game monday night, got free tix from the Laclede Gas rep, in their box suite!! free beer and food, it was great!! it was an exciting game, we were tied 3-3, then the ducks scored 2 pucks... then we came back and tied it at 5 right at the end, nothing happened in overtime, then we lost in shootouts... oh well, still a good time

p.s. Buy Laclede Gas. thank you, lol

halloween weekend

all in all it's been a great weekend. friday we won the world series. saturday i went to a fantastic halloween party, didn't win the contest though (new pics posted, i was Sir Bevedere from monty python and the holy grail). today i worked some overtime hours, took a break and washed my car, worked some more, grilled some orange roughy, and worked some more. so, until next time...

credit card update

ahh, the feeling of having money (only the feeling part applies, not so much the having part) my brand new shiny credit card finallly showed up Saturday... (nice 7 to 10 (read 14) days to get it). so i'm gonna go buy stuff for my halloween costume and house decorations on it tonight... i've gotta out-do my neighbors spooky blinking bats... it's scary over there. so i'm off to lowe's, then to fight thru the wal-mart hoosiers (i say that like i'm not one of them... well, we just don't tell anybody) okay? okay!
happy birthday to me...

the future

i wonder what the future generations will think of our times... think of how we talk about our close ancestors. the cave men hunted with sticks and rocks, and didn't even have e-mail. the people that explored and settled in america used cap and ball guns, and didn't have electricity. schools in the future will look back at us and scoff, they used to think Pluto was a Planet, and that Clay Aiken might be hetero... it'll be funny how we used to use Gasoline to get around, and that we actually had to Leave our houses...
oh well, we can only work with the technology that we have...

credit card

so, tuesday night when i get home, there's a message on my machine. it's some lady from capital one (currently in my wallet), she's from the fraud department, wants me to call about some questionable purchases. i call the number, and it's some stupid lady with worse ebonics than flavor flav, AXE'ing me for all this information. i asked her how i would know if she was actually a scammer herself, and she didn't really have a good answer. so i hung up and called the actual number on the back of the card. so i get thru to someone who speaks better english, she's from india, mind you, but she at least sounds intelligent. turns out there are 2 transactions form over the weekend that they denied, something from aol g-shop for $100, and something from kennith cold for $350... somebody's got my shit!!! so they went thru all the recent transactions, and these are the only 2 that aren't mine. they froze the account and cancelled the number, i'll get a new card with a new number in 7 to 10 days. hope i don't have to buy anything, i almost stuck it in the gas pump tonight, but remembered to use my bank debit card instead. scary stuff, good thing i have those barbarians from capital one following me around!! i'm going to call them back and see what kind of info i can get out of them... who it was, where they are, how they got my info.. if it was something i did, or didn't do, that i need to stop or start so this doesn't happen again... i don't know what all they can tell me though. oh well, i'm tired, seeya
