So I failed to see the State of the Union Address (holy crap I’m so upset *gag*).  I had more fun seeing the recap and summary on Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert tonight (even if they were reruns).

Does anyone else appreciate the great job they do reporting the “real” news?  I strongly prefer getting my daily news from these two over any other retard on the planet.  And I don’t even do drugs!

So yeah, Wednesday was my first day back to work after a long (and unexpected) weekend.  Last Friday at work there were only a few of us there because the rest of the company had the bug that’s goin’ around.  We felt on top of the world for beating it!  At least until we left to go home for the night/weekend.

Boom!  Friday night I started feeling a little weak and woozy-doozy.  Boom!  Saturday sucked.  Boom!  Sunday sucked more.  Boom!  I stayed home Monday.  Why?  Because it sucked.  Boom!  Boom!  Second day off the job as I stayed home again on sucky Tuesday.  (Do I get a prize for having for sucky ones in a row?  Damnit, didn’t think so…)

I’m still feeling some of the slight after symptoms as they wear off, but this is so much better than it was earlier this week.  (Holy Craaaapp)  All I’m fightin’ now are cough-cough, nose blowing, and the occasional sore throat from coughing.  Not too bad right?

To everyone out there, stay well during these fun temperatures!  I don’t get sick often, but when I do it’s kinda baaaaad.

If you’ve seen Jeff Dunham on Comedy Central (or on DVD such as the one I now own!), it’s possible you may be laughing your heiny off right now because you know what I speak of.

If you haven’t seen this guy, you gotta check it out, I highly recommend it. The DVD (and show I caught on Comedy Central that made me buy the DVD) is called Arguing With Myself. I’ll admit it’s a couple months old and I probably should have written about this sooner, but I couldn’t go without writing about it at all. And so I give it 2 drumsticks up!

Jeff is a ventriloquist, and damn good at it too. If you watch it the last character, Peanut, is the best. Walter, Bubba J, Jose Jalapeño (on a steeck) and Sweet Daddy D are the others and are all good too. First couple of times I watched this I was on the floor dying. Hell, the doctors had the paddles to me and everything, so it must be good! And just to clue those less fortunate in, my title refers to Peanut’s attempt to pronounce Santa Ana. You have to watch it to get the full effect, trust me.

Now I just need to go out and find some of his other shows too. He’s got some other characters that weren’t in this show, so I’m still missing out on some of it, and I need to get some of that stuff! I’m addicted….. So help me….. Whoa….

I blame the 5-year old in my last post!

Politics. I hate politics. A touchy subject to touch on (ha!) but whatever, I digest (Family Guy Blue Harvest quote).

I post about politics only because I need to rant and venty. If I see one more friggin’ banner ad online with any of the candidates (especially Clinton or Obama) I’m moving to Canada…. or something equally as dreadful and EVIL.

Ok, so I really don’t know who I’m voting for yet and obviously it’s not really all that high on my priority list quite yet (hey, we got a few months until Super Tuesday, take it easy!). All I know is that finally this is the year that removes that 5-year old, oops I pooped my pants, Laura will you change me? leader from office. YAY.

Ok, my rant is done. I feel better now. Feel free to post your evil opinions of me or your choice of candidate in the comments.

UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention that the title of this post slightly discriminates against the one female running in this year’s election (or does it?). For this I apologize, but will not adjust my post. (neener, neener)

UPDATE #2: I just remembered, I would still prefer to vote for Steven Colbert, if that’s ok with you.

That’s NOT what I meant… (sicko)

What I meant was that now Jabloggy offers a little something extra for iPod Touch and iPhone owners. When (and IF) you bookmark Jabloggy on your home screen, you’ll get our new custom icon automatically! This is much prettier than just the generic screenshot of the site that it would make by default.

Note that this only works if you have the latest and greatest software upgrades that were released last week at Macworld. That means your iPhone should be on version 1.1.3 or your iPod Touch should have the $20 upgrade that’s available through the iTunes Store.

Believe it or not, that is NOT a random title (doh!).  Noooo, no this is the official name of my brother’s iPod Touch.  Ain’t it freakin’ sweet?

Well, it’s a decent title for this post.  So this past weekend my bro came down to visit, but mainly to accomplish some drinkage and a lot of Guitar Hero and Rock Band.  Unfortunately most of Friday night was spent calibrating the instruments for Rock Band (if you own the game, you probably know what I mean: watch the dot fly by, hear the tick and try and line ‘em up.  What fun!).  But once we got going we were rockin’ out!

This continued into Saturday evening too when Mr. (and soon-to-be Mrs.) Chippie Man came by to jam it like there was no tomorrow.

Yeah, the weekend was pretty good, well except for those icky excuses we call the AFC and NFC Championship games!  I was rooting for the teams that both lost!  What a horrible way to end my 2 days of relaxation!  @#!@$#!

Regardless, I will be rooting for the Giants come February 3rd.  Who’s with me? 

Um, haha, well, now it is thanks to Tom

Or MAYBE, just maybe, my cat is on some really good cat nip and isn’t telling daddy. Who knows, with kids these days and their drugs and their hallucinations, right?

Anywho, Lexi, Queen of the House and Princess of Keeping Herself Occupied, as recently picked up playing shadow games. Confused? She chases shadows. Whenever the right lights are on, they cast our shadows onto the floor and furniture. So when we move, they move, and she moves… A LOT. When there are too many, I think blood vessels burst in Lexi’s head, causing her to go FADD (Feline A.D.D.). She’s all over the place. Hell I’ve even been tempted to charge admission at the door so everyone can witness in the humor that is Lexi’s playtime. Unfortunately, it either doesn’t last long enough and she gets bored quickly or she gets scared (as usual) and runs away from them.

This has been going on for awhile now, but today was a new one. She found she could play with herself (pervert) by chasing the shadow thrown by her own tail. This happened about 20 minutes ago, and I felt compelled and empowered to share this with you.

So now that I have, is your day better? Is your world a cleaner place to live? Huh? Huh?! Good. I can go to bed tonight happy.

Well, another beautiful and tear jerking keynote has come and gone! (WAAAHHH!!!) As wonderful and as great as it was, it wasn’t quite up to par with past ones. That’s ok though, because it was enough to hold us until WWDC this summer, right?

For those of you who don’t follow Apple as closely as some (shame on you!), here’s a quick recap of the surprises that Steve Jobs unveiled:

1.) iPod Touch updates - Mail, Weather, Notes, Stocks, and Maps are now available for the iPod Touch. The only catch is a stinkin’ $20 upgrade price tag. Anyone know what’s up wit dat?!

2.) iPhone software upgrade - YAY! For those of you who own an iPhone or saw the demostration at the keynote, you’ll know what I mean when I say WIGGLE! WIGGLE!

3.) Apple TV (TAKE 2!) - so they applied a much needed kick in the donkey’s nuts update to this baby, and now I may actually consider one! At the same time though, I already have my Mac Mini on my TV, so I might be getting more out of my setup now. Oh well, yay for this because now it will shut up some of the #@$@# critics out there. Others will just continue to think they are right and say that it’s a dead product.

4.) iTunes Movie Rentals - I give this new feature 10 thumbs up (and a fo-shizzle, whatever that means)!! I’m guessing the fo-shizzle is because right after this was announced, Netflix and Blockbuster stocks dropped sharply. HA! Between this and the updates made to Apple TV, some are predicting Apple TV and iTunes to kill both HD-DVD (already done for) AND Blu-Ray. Hhhmmmmm, interesting….

5.) Time Capsule - A new hardware appliance that’s also an Airport Extreme base station. Allows mac geeks like myself to back up wirelessly using Time Machine, Mac OS X Leopard’s easy to use backup utility (Apple ads featuring Time Machine are currently airing with the Mac and PC guy, so watch for it if you’re interested!).

6 .) The New MacBook Air - holy mother of roasted chickens Batman! I had to save the best for last. Also the biggest new product that I can’t currently afford! Now being toted as the world’s thinnest notebook. Check out www.apple.com and it will hit you in the face (it’s the main feature on the homepage).

There you have it! Jabloggy’s Macworld 2008 Keynote recap and review. Brought to you by me and my typing skills.
