Report 96 Happy new Year

Happy New year everyone!

in the coming year I have a lot more goals and determination I want to do.  Its the first year where I dont have school work related and I can do what I want. And I will take full advantage of that.

I hope everyone had a good year and lets hope this coming year will be as adventurous then the last.

Happy new Year, and good luck.

Report 95 the jazz

I forgot yesterday was Wednesday, that and I was so tired and hungry, I had just came back from a 8 hour shift and I was a bit sick on the last few hours.

Me and Scott are back home, we want grocery shopping, and I got a new keyboard and mouses! :D I wanted for a few months a new keyboard with buttons on the to to click next, pause or play my music. It was on special on staples for like 20 bucks and its really great. I'm not use to the mouse yet, its so fast!

except for that, today will be a busy day, I have to go and fax my papers for the student loan, get a few other things, hair cut. I'm going to pick up a parcel that been here since the 23, I can't wait to open it, I think its my knock knock items I got a few weeks ago.

My nanonovel I order is still stuck in Quebec. I a bit disappointing, I paid 40$ for the books to be here on the 22 of December. ON the 22 the books where just finish production and was just shipping. If I knew that I wouldn't receive it in time that I wanted I wouldn't have paid for extra shipping, now I'm just losing more then anything. I will ask whatsup on why I didn't receive it in time, if its been more then 2 weeks. One week I would understand, but more then two, hell no. I paid for express shipping here.

Now that the biggest stir is done, I'm back to revising my novel, I miss it actually, I didn't brought it with me for the week I was at my parents place, because I though I would be to busy with my family. I was busy, but I still manage to read Gini Koch latest book on the Alien series.

anyway, I don't have more to say, we're both alive, lots to do to finish the year 2011, back to revising, the jazz.

Take care!

Report 94 Emergency vacation

I had took a week off for the holiday, 23-29, I made sure with my managers that they give me those days off.

...

Well it changed. My boyfriend got really sick on Friday so I brought him to the hospital thinking that it was just a cold getting wurst and he would need better medicine. HA

He finally was out of the Hospital yesterday at 330, he had a heart infection, and the doc at Miramichi as sooo sure it was a heart attack that there is damage on his heart (note my sarcasm), we want to Saint John for test and now he is fine, the heart still soar but he have medication he have to take for 2 weeks straight.

He can't do much for two month though, no driving, no drinking, no sport, no fun. But just the fact that he is fine is enough for me, he is with his parents right now, he need to be with his family, I miss him, but we text time to time, well I text him, he sleeps through it, poor guy he barely had any sleep with the nurses poking him every two hours.

Bt yeah, my week vacation that I made sure I had off, is gone, I had to call work and ask if I could switch my week of for this one because of an emergency and I told what happen, they are nice, they said no problem and done it, but I still have to call and ask when I be back to work, I'm ready to be back to work Monday!

I actually film my stay at the hospital for Scott, he wanted me to record it, I have the cafeteria, some of him looking all sad, the hotel we stayed and... I think thats it, I have them in my other computer. I charge my camcorder for some holiday fun filming. I have a few days to relax and take a breathe, I'm still on the edge because Scott isn't here for me to watch over him, but I be okay.

I didn't bring my novel though, with my family hovering I knew I wouldn't be able to work on it much, but I was able to work on a few pages when I was at the hospital with Scott.But I downloaded new books: "Alien Proliferation" by Gini Koch and "the lost hero" by Rick Riordan.

Two books I couldn't wait to read, and now that I have them ( since Saturday) I didn't even touch them! I started the Alien one of course on the drive but I got a bit carsick and tired so I let it down. But now I have four whole days of nothing but family and relaxation so what better way to relax then reading books :D

and now it's time for me to go, take care !

Report 93

So, today I was just surfing on Tumblr,procrastinating the important phone call I have to make when I came over something cool, it was just a picture of someones background. I've been in a Marvel mood for the past, well , month or two now. and what I saw was AMAZING :D

It was a background acting like Jarvis from the Iron Men movies, my reaction of course was to ctrl save and use it as my back ground for like...45 second until I read the post and saw that hey, it interact too!

Curious I look up the links the person posted and check it, but feeling warry I download it in my laptop, like that if something bad happen to it, I wouldn't feel bad.

IT IS SO FLIPPING COOOOOLLLLL

When I saw it works well on my laptop I jump back on my desktop and did the change! So here it is:



The center button open up Chrome, I had to download iTunes for the music plays work properly, I still have to fix up the dimension because I have a big screen XD But I laugh SO HARD, when I click on play on the music to see if the path I coded worked and Highway to hell started to play XD

The weather channel is set on Miramichi on the picture but I changed to Bathurst because the Miramichi path is broken, it doesn't say if its sunny or cloudy.

The visual part is a slide show, I set it on the wallpaper file I had before on my last background that would change image every 3 minutes.

So there you have it, thats what I've been doing for all morning XD what would be MORE cool would be that the circles would actually move allong, but thats to much programming and I don't understand rainmeter well enough to frig with it, I'm happy on how it stand right now XD

Now back to figuring out iTunes.

take care,

Steph~

For people who are interest about rainmeter and, well , Jarvis here are the links

Report 92 Marvel

I had a dream, few days ago, that I was working for Reed Richards and he bought the store I work at right now, so my job was to clean the shop and pack the box to bring the shop empty for him to transform it into some kind of lab or what ever. BUT when I was pouching a dolly full of box I heard the news that was on a fat TV suspended on a wall (that we dont have but was in my dream anyway) that there was an explosion and the fume of it revevied all the super hero and villain in the contry. I saw that some cities where bombard and they need heros

SO I ran to Reed, told him the city needs him and the fantastic 4 but he ignore me mumbling that science is more important, so I got mad telling him that millions of life is more important then silly experiment and storm off.


I pass a magazine stan ( that we don't have again, but was just ...there) close to where the TV was but where I wasn't. There was old comics on it about Avengers and X-men I took one up and flip through it, thats when Sue


Just apeared next to me saying that the city needs help that if I saw the news or that Reed saw the news. I told her that I told him but he is to much into his science to find a cure or something to stop the fume that reviveds super villain and heros then trying to protect the city. +

She got angry sortoff and say she will talk to him, and then Storm from X-Man got next to me. She told me about some strategic plan and that her and the avengers will help the city but will need back up, ready to help I volunteer and said I would call Professor Xavier and tell him that we needed X=men, cause they where better heroes right now.



...

I woke up after that, I didn't even had time to call the x-men, I was running to reach the phone then I woke up confuse, and I got MORE confuse when I got to work in the morning because the evironment look excactly like my dream so I was expecting the fantastic four and x-men to just fly through the door and demande the managers XD

Except for that epic dream nothing much happened. I ordered my NaNoNovel copies with the NaNo win coupon. BUT It wasn't the proof copy this year it was, not only one but FIVE copies of the NOVEL itself. FIVE!! I got 110 buck worth of novels for FREE I only payed shipping (express) that was like..22 buck. How epic is that. I'm supposed to received them next week or so.

I'm still on week 2 of the revision part, I've been working a lot lately because of Christmas time, plus my boyfriend got a men cold and I've been doing supper straight after work, I get so tired that I can't concentrate long enough to understand what I'm reading most of the time and I'm afraid to miss important cues. But I'm at page 70 of 164. I have Friday off and will be working on it more then.

Also, the Student loan people finally tried to contact me! They called my parent place first and left a number for me to call, dad said there was also a letter, I hope in a way that there is a email that I can contact, the only time I can call back is Friday and I want that day to be Revising day.

I don't want to call during my break at work since I know its going to take longer then half an hour and its impolite to eat while taking a really important call. And anyway I'm applying for an extention for another 6 month I don't pay without intres because well I'm only a part time at work and half my pay goes to on the rant and food, the other is to pay my student credit on my other bank.

Except of that, Christmas is coming, I finish most of my gift shopping, just missing my dad. I got fed up with Scott cellphone because his battery life only lasted an hour and when I would come back home, from a storm after work, and he wasn't home yet, I get scared something happen and he wouldn't answer his phone, so I got piss, chuck his phone away and bought him a new one with my visa.

I'm so jealous.

Its a pre-paid phone from Telus, its touch screen and android powered I want it so baad, but its barely a year I got my phone and I want a iPhone anyway so I wait. He like it a lot, it really easy to use and we didn't have to go to the Telus store to change phone we manage online so it was quick and easy with no brain damage XD

Anyway, that was all I wanted to say, how is your holiday shopping coming along? Anything you would love to have this year?

take care,

Steph~

Report 91 new cellphone

I didn't get the new phone, scott did. I got fed up that his only have an hour of battery life so I point to a touch telus phone that Staples sells and told him I would go half on it. So now here it is, next to me charging. We still have to do the switch account phone thing, but it may take some times we both working really hard, me for the fact that its Christmas rush and him: the end of his term.

This week have been really hard on me, I couldn't get enough sleep and was really tired at work but I got better, I was able to get some sleep last night, AND we lost power at the store, I was able to leave half an hour before my shift ends, for two hours I was paid to sit around and watch the emergency light go off one after the other. When I left it was pitch black and we had each an glow stick/ flash light for safety more then anything. After I left, not even 10 minute the power came back on XD

I want and got scott at his college. He wasn't at home so I search for him, there was only two place I could think off and college was the first one XD We eat out ( well he did I got an ice cream ) and got him to buy a new cell phone, because it was his old one fault that I half panic and didn't know where he was.

I got him the LG telus touch screen one powered by Android now I'm jealous, but he said that if there is something of the same amouth ( 120$) he would pay half like I did for a christmas gift. He refuse the Kindle idea because I already have a kobo :C I tried.

So now I'm thinking of what I need ( and want) for around that same price I could get.

Also Gini Koch newest book is out but its not in eBook format yet :C I'm so sad, I was so excited to read it and now I still have to wait. Plus I made a deal with Scott, that there is some book I have that I don't read anymore, if I find a way to sell them or get ride of them I can get more eBook instead.

SO I place some of my book on Amazon, nothing yet happen so I will try and place a few more up to sell and see. If nothing happens, well I will loose 300 buck worth of books and donate everything to my local library. They would love me right there.

Talking about books, I'm working on the NaNoNovel proof copy I can get for free from the coupon I got from winning this year, I set up my novel like I wanted and just have to set it up on the website but there is something wrong from the way the text is saved that it doesn't resize correctly when I upload it to the proof, so I need to play around with the setting on acrobat or Word or something.

I also, close, to finish christmas shopping. Missing my dad and my godson. I took out the money I needed for christmas shopping and will give my credit and debit card to Scott, to stop me from spending all the time now! So many sells! So many shiny new things I want! BUt anyway, there is already one order from Chapters that got it wrong I have to send him back and try and get it again. We will see.

ON other sad news, the cheap ring that scott bught me started to rust :C It was a ring he bought when we went to maine with his parents, it would change colout depending of my mood ( mostly by my fingure temprature, it was always blue or purple.) and it was cheap so it started to rust from over abusing XD

I ask him to get me a new one at least up to 10$. it was a joke since, the first ring he got me was from a 25 cent slot machine, the second one was the mood ring thatw was around 5-7 buck so I was teasing him that at least the next one be 10 buck. So when we went to Wal - Mart I saw a rack with silver rings for 12 bucks I laugh, pick one I like and my size and ask if he wanted to buy it for me XD

SO I got a new shiny silver ring, that doesn't turn my fingure green ( fake silver and coper turn my fingure green because I have to much iron in my blood, something under that line.)

I like it.

ON my novel part, its going there slowly, with the Hollidays and jobs I had hard time spairing an hour or two to work on it, but I still am, I find the time and work a few page a night, its better then nothing.

Well thats everything, see you next week :D

take care,

Steph~
