WOAH!

June 24, 2010

Whelp, late again. I need to do better if I’m gonna keep up one blog, much less two!
WOAH! E3 was INCREDIBLE! Many awesome annoucements from all parts of the industry, but the thing that really got my attention was Nintendo’s unvieling the 3DS! SUPER EXCITED! I have loved my DS since I got it (a few months after launch). It may have taken a while to get a decent list of good games (and still suffer from a frightening amount of junk-ware) but it got there! Chances are I won’t get one at launch, but I swear to thee… I SHALL HAVE ONE!
eventually….
This past Saturday was a big day for T-Mobile. We ran our Father’s Day promotion, every phone free with a family plan activation. During that one day T-Mobile did over 110,000 activations company wide. Being a low volume store, we only did about 30 (I got 8). Some stores nearby ended the day with triple digits. Man, sometimes I’m reminded that I’m at the wrong location! Oh well, I’ll make due where I am. I am very happy to have this job and did effectively double my June commission check!
Today is new comic day (my FAVORITE weekly holiday)! I picked up a few things, but the one that really stood out was Superman #700. This milestone issue said goodbye (and good ridance, in my opinion) to the writer of both Superman and Action Comics from the past few years, and said hello to the ongoing writer, J. Michael Strazynski (one of my favorite writers right now)! Oh, this’ll be a GOOD year for Supes!
Well, till next time dear readers!

Guess we’re staying

June 14, 2010

After a bit of a hiatious I’m back. There was some things a-happenin’! We were looking at possibly moving to a new place. It was a house for rent in Anderson, SC. The pictures of the outside looked great! A few days after I went by to look at the outside, Amiee and I got to look at the inside and, well…. we’re staying were we are now. The inside was awful! The floor were horribly bowed and the kitchen was little more than a closet with appliances. We’ll be looking at another location, but chances are we probably will stay here. Not that it’s a bad thing, we like our apartment, we were just looking for a house versus an apartment. We’d love to have a yard for our little Boo to run around in.
We’ve cut back a bit on our tv recordings (easy, since it’s summer and most shows are on break) because we watch too much. Oddly enough, and proof that tv CAN be educational, we’ve found a great show called “It’s Me or the Dog.” It’s kinda like Super Nanny for dogs, and Amiee and I have been learning a lot about being proper puppy parents! Some things that we (I) do are very wrong! But we’re learning now and correcting OUR bad behavior so we can correct his bad behavior and be a happier family.
And OH! The excitment for me this week! E3 starts tomorrow! Gaming news galore! All sorts of expectations and pre-E3 annoucments! New Nintendo handheld, the 3DS! New Legend of Zelda revealed (as promised by Nintendo last year)! Actual name of Microsoft’s Project Natal! More video from Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty! And MORE on top of that! *whew* I’m kinda hyperventalating. Well, Microsoft’s conference is tomorrow then Nintendo the morning after and Sony after that. I may do a mid-week update about E3 (cuz I’m a power-dork and to make up for the lateness of updates). Either way, till next time dear readers!
