Well, here it is:
This is our new 1960's style couch. Pardon the fat cat. This was $30.00 on Craigslist. Now if I can find some cool ass 1960's or 70's orange pillows that would be so groovy. Plus I thought it would be funny to put plastic over it like you see at your grandmother's house. But I didn't want to go that tacky. Anyways, if you want to check more pictures out jump on over to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) somedayseattle's flicker page. The awesome boombox also plays cassettes, eight tracks and the radio all in one. It also works very well. And it was free at the Carboro free market. The rug was also free. Hope you enjoy and try not to be jealous. |

So, here's something you don't hear everyday. The Oprah Winfrey Show is airing their last show on September 9,2011. I am not a big fan of her's and never did I sit down at four o'clock and listen to her stories about celebrities and other people's problems. That wasn't really a big thing for me. I just thought that many American's including women through out the United States are going to be a little disappointed. This will be her twenty-fifth year. The show has been the highest-rated talk show for 23 consecutive seasons, according to the Oprah.com site. It is seen by an estimated 42 million viewers a week in the United States and is broadcast to 145 countries. But enough of that, The Carolina Hurricanes finally won another game at home. They played the Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto is also in a bad situation. They too haven't won many games. Their standings pretty much suck just like ours. They are 3-11. We are now 4-12. So who knows. We either have to get our team healthy or suck it up and play even harder so we can build that momentum back. So, I don't have plans for Turkey Day besides going over to Seattle's mom's house for a big Thanksgiving Day feast. She makes all sorts of good stuff to eat. And besides the creamed pearl onions are my favorite. I also took off this Saturday to actually sit down and enjoy a hockey game. Yeah you can actually take off from this place and enjoy an event or hockey game. Seattle and I bought a sofa the other day off of Craigslist. How I love me some Craigslist. It is a green colored 1960's style sofa. This is similar to what it looks like.

I will try and get a picture of it in real life and post it on here. It is the best couch. The woman we bought it from was originally selling it for fifty dollars and then dropped the price to thirty dollars. We got it for a steal. This couch could easily have cost up to 300-400 dollars when they first bought it. All that's next to do is cat replete it. Ziggy and Zoe aren't declawed so I don't want anything to happen to it. Seattle are trying to rearrange the living room a bit and make it different. We are going for that 1960's 1970's look. Hopefully I can hit a few thrift stores or go on Craigslist and see what I can find. Other than that I am going to enjoy a nice week off and eat as much as I can on Turkey Day! |

Another sunny warm fall day here in North Carolina. Sorry I haven't updated in quite sometime. I had a busy week. I had to work the NCSTATE football game against Clemson on Saturday. It was full of red and orange shirts. I didn't sell a lot of ice cream that afternoon which was okay I guess. Sometimes you need days like that. A few days ago we got three to four days of rain due to Hurricane Ida, but by the weekend it was sunny and warm. Besides not selling a whole lot of ice cream on Saturday, I ended up finding twenty dollars on the ground. In the distance I saw something green thinking nothing of it but when I walked over it was a twenty dollar bill. I snatched it up as quick as I could so no one would see it. It was such an adrenaline rush that I wanted the game to end so I could tell Seattle what I found. Even at the RBC Center when I leave I look down to see if any fans or drunk people drop money on the floor. One time I found two dollars. Other than that, the Carolina Hurricanes finally won a game on Sunday. They are now 3-12 in the southeast division. They just now need to win a few games and get some more points and they can catch up with the rest of these teams. But I am not holding my breath too long. This weekend I took off and decided to go to a hockey game just to check out the team and see the new jumbo-tron. I can't wait. The smell of the fresh ice and the fans are always a must for me. Anyways, I'll let you know what the rest of the week brings. It's amazing that Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and soon it will be Christmas. |

So, this year the Carolina Hurricanes all got big ass contracts. So that means more money for them. But there is something the Canes are lacking this year. I'll give you a little hint. They are losing. They haven't won one game on the road or even at home. It's like all of a sudden they've given up and decided we got plenty of money let's try and lose this year. Even the fans have been disappointed. Every time they have a game at home it's disappointing to see so many empty seats in the crowd. People spend money just to see their team play not to see them loose. We got to start making changes to the team or just start cleaning house. Get rid of some players and bring in some fresh blood. In the southeast division we only won two games and lost eleven. Lucky for me that the New York Rangers are my first team, and they are playing quite well. Anyways, nothing else going on with me. NCSTATE basketball starts this week at the arena so maybe they might have a chance. Hopefully the Canes can break outta this loosing streak and take their head outta their ass and start looking for chances to win, cause by the time the play-offs roll around I'll have to be looking for another job soon. |

I have another complaint I want to get off my chest. I am getting a bit fed up with all the Christmas commercials the television is now broadcasting right now. Can we please wait till the middle of November instead of showing them the first week of November? Same goes with the Christmas music too if they haven't reached the radio air ways yet. I know it's one month away but it's just a little too early. |

So I ended up taping on our DVR which I love so much a bunch of horror movies since it was Halloween a few days ago. In my opinion any horror movie you watch is bad. I just finished up watching this movie called FROGS! This movie is about big frogs,turtles and lizards that attack a Southern patriarch's island mansion. I only watched it cause it had to do with frogs of course. It sounded really interesting until you watch the end and go: "You got to be kidding right?" I think all horror movies are like that. They want you to watch them and get all freaked out and by the end go: well, that's not what I expected. My other horror films that I taped were some Stephen King movies. I like Stephen King as an author and his horror movies always are good. My favorite would have to be Pet Sementary. But for this Halloween Seattle and I didn't get a trick or treater. It was nice cause I didn't have any candy to hand out. So it was a quite evening. Other than that, I know its still early in hockey season but the Carolina Hurricanes are stinkin it up this year. They lost nine games away and some even at home. It's pitiful to see people pay for tickets and see their team struggling. Some nights there are even empty seats in the stands and you wonder why no one comes to the games. I just hope these guys can snap outta it and focus more on their game then their other team. Or get some better defense out there. By the way, I've also been watching a little bit of the world series and I am not a big Yankee's fan but I hope that the Phillies can beat them. It would be nice for another team to actually win one. I can't believe now that Halloween is over with that retail stores are getting ready for Christmas. Does any one put up Thanksgiving decorations? It would be nice to see a pumpkin outside someones house or even a turkey poster. Please stop skipping Thanksgiving. What's even worse is that radio stations are going to be playing Christmas music soon. I guess we'll see the middle of November and see what happens. |
