My nephew has a set of regular skullcandy headphones and those are pretty awesome.
But this bass is gonna take some getting used to. Or maybe I should try the other size pads that came with the buds.
Anyway, its a well spent 16 bucks.
So, I started a new community. its for the Nuwave Oven Pro. well, for recipes really. I recently bought one and found the included recipe book a tad bit lacking and got really tired of trying to hunt down more stuff on the internet.
So, if any of you know anyone that has one and has some tips or recipes, feel free to send them here:

thanks guys!
and no, I didnt pay full price for it. they sell them where I work and I got it for only $90.
So im really excited about the new V series.
It's been 26 years since I was a kid, glued to the TV when each new episode came on.
Of course I dont remember it all, but I do remember how riveted everyone was. And I do mean everyone.
I am really hoping the new V does the old one justice, or is even better.
Also, as a side note, for all you Whedonites out there,The lead Visitor is played by Morena Baccarin. Alan Tudyk is also part of the cast.
At least the pilot episode, according to wikipedia, but im hoping he has a recurring role.
So far the pilot is good, shows promise.
I do believe i'll be tuning in every week.

So tonight, after work I did it. I went to the sprint store and took yet another step into the 21st century and got my new phone. The Red Samsung Rant!
It's so freaking amazing.
Now, I will admit I fumbled with the functions, alot, but I got the basics down and even got some ring tones set up. I also upgraded my plan so I now have unlimited texting, internet and...something else...I forget lol. there are so many features!
anyway, im all kinds of excited!
Also, I REALLY want to see the new Harry Potter movie. I hope I can go soon, and not by myself!

Just...holy shit....what?
Michael Jackson is...Dead.
Im not entirely sure how I feel about that.
Shocked, sad....
I grew up with this man and his music.
He's just so iconic that it just doesnt feel like its real.
Sure he got really weird but, in the end, it was all about his art, his music, and that was still an awesome thing.
All around the world, he will be missed.

relax relax, im not leaving LJ...I would never do such a thing!
No, im talking about my next vacation destination. last time I posted, I said I was looking into japan. Well, scratch that. I'm actually going to Taipei, Taiwan.
April/may of 2010, so that gives me plenty of time to save up...in theory.
I'm really so very excited about it. In fact, I keep getting all these Cosmic Signs that this trip was meant to be. For example, my mothers scarf that I pulled out this past winter, made in Taiwan. So many products where I work..made in Taiwan, which, to me is different, because so many things used to be made in pakistan and china and other places. And the most recent one...
These two white girls were in shopping and one of them lost their cellphone. They called it and called it but never found it. Well, my co-worker found it some time later and I turned the phone on, intending to call her back, when I saw it. She had two "local times" on her phone. One was from here where I live..and the other? Taipei, Taiwan!!
What are the freaking odds?? Two white girls, with Taiwan on their phone?
Seriously. It's meant to be, so, come hell or high water, I AM saving that money and going on that trip!

So, it started a little over a week ago. I was out of things to read, and I was looking around the book section at work and happened upon this series of books called The House of Night. The first book is called Marked. The cover looked interesting, as did the description so, I snagged it up and dug in.
It left me feeling rather, annoyed. Without giving the story away~because I DO hate spoilers~ i'll just say that there was A LOT of, how shall I say...Forced Paganism, upon the characters. Being an agnostic, this really got under my skin. Forced ANYTHING really pisses me off, especially when it comes to religion.
Anyway, the core basis of the story is good enough I suppose. I just finished book 3. I know what you're thinking...BOOK THREE? And you just started a WEEK AGO? Well, the books arent that huge and yes, im a fast reader. Now, although im whipping through these books, they dont give me that same passion that Twilight did.You know, that whole...."Cant....Put...book...down....u
So, I heard the other day, that these books are supposed to be the next Twilight. They even have movie talks in the making or something.
So, my response to this:
Decent books?
Yes
Next Twilight?
Not bloody likely.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was at my friends place to use his phone, and on his TV was some really bizzare show.
"What the hell is this?" I asked. His reply was simple. "Buffy"
"Buffy? Oh, right, I heard they were gonna make a show out of the movie."
It was already into the second season before my friend got me watching it. All it took was one episode before I was hooked, and two episodes before I was REALLY hooked, for life. With each new episode came a sense of completion, support, love. So many things I went through seemed to be mirrored somehow in Buffy, and therefore helped me through. It was then that I realized that Joss Whedon was my Master now.And then there was Angel and Firefly. Both such amazing works of art, otherwise known as TV shows. But when they ended, sadness ensued. No longer would my television deliver me the same depth, flawless puns and quips, the same gut-wrenching, heartbreaking comfort again.
Until now....
Tonight was the premiere of Dollhouse. As first episodes go, it was good, but still a bit early to tell how much of a keeper it really is. Truth be told, I missed bits of it because, stupid me, I timed my dinner at the wrong time, so I kept having to get up during the EXTREMELY short commercial breaks.
At any rate, it's good to see Buffy/Angel alumni on tv again.
It was also so very good to see the Mutant Enemy thing at the end of the show.
So much so that I didnt realize just how much I had missed it. My breath caught in my throat, a smile spread on my lips and a tear welled up in my eyes.
Dearest Joss Whedon, he is my Master, now and forever. It's so good to have his work back on my TV.
Grrr. Argh

In other news, i've gotten new glasses and a pair of pre.scription sunglasses too.
I also, finally, got Firefly on dvd, for christmas...did I mention that already? I forget.
So, im planning, or trying to anyway, another extravegant vacation, but for 2010.
Tokyo, Japan.
the problem? Money...and...getting more than one other person to go...and, getting the girl whose idea it was in the first place, to be able to go as well. I'd hate to go without her. It was her idea after all.
*sigh* what to do, what to do?
It is also my dream to be able to go to a concert over there, see Miyavi or Gackt, but, thats just an asian loving fan-girls wet dream. heh.
I also really wanna go to Taiwan, and see my favourite Taiwanese boy band in concert. another wet dream.
Did I mention im all about the hottie asian guys?
ETA:
HOLY FREAKING COW!
In texas there's going to be this anime convention and one of the guests is MIYAVI!
also, there are a bunch of voice actors on the guest list, like Crispin Freeman. a friend of mine LOVES him!
and it seems really cheap too. Less than $200 for three days worth of events. oh man, if only I could go!

What am I saying this about, you ask?
Twilight.
My Neice got me the first two books for christmas. I had no intention of reading them on my own before I got them as a gift, nor was I going to see the movie.
You see, everyone thinks that just because I love Buffy and Interview with the vampire, that I will read anything and everything related to vampires. Novel wise that is. This is incorrect.
So, 2 days ago, I started reading Twilight and, Holy Crow! It has been SO LONG since i've read a book that is SO engrossing that it actually physically pains me to not be reading it! I cant seem to read it fast enough. It's as if my body wants to plunge itself INTO the book, just so I can "compute" the story faster. im currently 3/4 of the way through the book, and I hate having to put it down, be it because im at work and on break and have to go BACK to work, or because I have to sleep. It's like crack! Not even my beloved Dean Koontz writes books that make me salivate and go through withdrawal symptoms. This book literally makes my hands tremble and itch to touch it, to turn its pages, and my mind is in a whirl, waiting with baited breath with each new paragraph. Hell, even the BORING parts are exciting!
I only hope the other three books are as engaging and wonderful as this one.
