Bridesmaids

I had received my monthly freebie code from RedBox via text message on Monday. So after work I stopped by the closest kiosk to choose my free rental. I didn't know that Bridesmaids was out on DVD, primarily because I don't keep up with that sort of thing. But when I saw it on the list of available movies I selected it and proceeded to type in my promo code.

I was annoyed when I tried twice to enter the code and have it rejected each time. Still not sure what that was all about but I figured that since I'd made the effort to stop by the Box to rent a movie I may as well rent it whether it was free or not.

I didn't get to watch the movie until the next day because by the time I got home I had to get to bed so I could wake up for a 4 am run at work. And when I did sit down to watch it I only got to watch about 80% of it before I had to go back to work. But even at that point I was highly unimpressed with it.

There were only a few moments where I actually LOL'd. Most of the time I just kinda felt uncomfortable. I was sad with the way they portrayed the "maid of honor" in the film. Sure it's realistic to show a woman spiraling down a pit of despair but to make us try to laugh at it? Kinda jacked up if you ask me.

Maybe it's my subconscious trying to grab on to the last few straws of humanity I have left in me. I dunno. But I was more sad about the movie than anything. I managed to finish the movie and had time to get it back to the RedBox after my evening shift yesterday. I was happy to be rid of it; Sorry I had to pay money to see it. But glad I can now be in the know when it's brought up in future conversations.

I figured while I was at the RedBox I'd pick up something else that I wanted to see but isn't available on Netflix yet and I will be watching it today.

I really look forward to seeing "Horrible Bosses".

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome"

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Blowin' Stuff Up

Man, I've been seriously fortunate lately. Since I last posted, I had the pleasure of finally putting that darned HAZMAT endorsement to use by taking a load of potassium nitrate into Canada. Of course, my initial reaction was to wonder why my dispatcher hated me enough to do this to me. But then I realized it was just a fine opportunity to expand my horizons. I was afraid that the load was going to be a huge hassle when crossing the border. Turns out, they didn't give two craps about what I was hauling. I approached customs anticipating much ado and received...well... nothing. I was in Canada in less than 5 minutes upon reaching the border crossing. Woo hoo! So far so good. So I arrive at my destination and find myself thinking that finally the tables have turned and luck is running for the hills. The place I delivered to was a small "airline hanger" of a building on a road that was restricted to 5 tons per axle (which equals NOT ME). Of course, I had to tak
