Biz-E!

On Tuesday morning I woke up and was instantly bored out of my mind. My sister wasn’t around all day and by the time I got to the point of wanting to verbally deal with someone my father was on his way out the door for work. I spent the day wandering around the house looking for things to do. I cleaned, I did some cooking, I did some more cleaning and then I wound up in bed with a book. It didn’t really do much for me though.

I took a walk down to the store where my sister’s currently working and bothered her for a little bit. I wandered around the store and then I headed up to Petco with the thought of purchasing a Beta but I decided that it wouldn’t be fun to walk home (in the heat) with a fish tank and a new toy for Bella to bark at excessively because it won’t play with her. So…to keep my spirits up I went and got myself a coloring book. I know you’re sitting there like “WTF Krissy? W T F?” but that’s my way of keeping myself entertained long enough without having to smoke. Lately I’ve cut back quite a bit and that’s because I’ve been keeping my hands busy doing things other than smoking or typing. I’m taking up knitting next, I just need to wait until a gash on my hand clears up first (long story).

On Tuesday night I was on Skype with the boyfriend and then my aunt called. She asked me if I would be interested in going to the Mets game on Wednesday. Now, I’m not a baseball fan because I personally think it’s a useless game with pampered pretty boys but I decided “Hey, free tickets and I get out of the house” so I went. We took the train in, so that was interesting. The ride to Jamaica was ok because we basically sat there the whole time. The train from Jamaica to Woodbury was PACKED SOLID so we wound up standing at the doors, same thing from Woodbury to Shea Stadium. On the way to Shea I met a guy who was already plastered but he was showing off his Mets pride with a shirt and a beer so he was content with life. He didn’t even mind that I stumbled a bit when we went over a rough section, I think he was happy to feel a set of tits on him anyway, mine were extra perky yesterday for some reason LOL. The walk to our seats wasn’t fun but it was worth it. We were on the third baseline, surrounded by fans that were both amusing and offensive and after all of the cheering, clapping, and of course the alcohol, I got into the game. Mets won 6-4 and by the time we changed over all of the trains and then got back on the Oyster Bay line, we got home around 10 last night. All in all I have to say it was a good night. After the game let out I was amused to see FSNY filming in the parking lot. The two reporters were surrounded by a few hundred Mets fans screaming “Yankee’s Suck! Yankee’s Suck!”. I laughed, lit up a cig and went on my merry way.

I got home with a pretty bad headache though, between the screaming, beer and the fact that I had only eaten a slice of bread yesterday (literally) my head was throbbing like holy hell. I would have eaten at the park but I’m completely against ball park food pricing so I avoided the situation entirely. A bottle of water was $4.00, it cost me like $11.75 for a round of beers (mind you they were only the 8-10oz cans btw). So by the time the hot dog guy came around, I decided “No thanks” and my aunt and uncle had theirs, two hot dogs, $15.00…can someone say HIGHWAY ROBBERY!? I understand they’re spending a butt load of money paying the players and building the new stadium (which is why there was no parking and more than half of the stadium took the train) but $7.50 for a Nathans hot dog on some Wonder Bread rolls? Puh-lease!

After a quick phone call to the boyfriend, I knocked out last night around 1:30. My alarm was set for 9:30 this morning because I knew UPS would be here with my camera. Unfortunately UPS wasn’t on their regular schedule. They didn’t show up to my house until about 4:00 and since I was dozing all day but kept waking up every time I heard a truck pull up, I just wasn’t a happy camper. My camera did show up though. It a little bigger than I thought it was going to be, but it’s still a really small camera just the same. Since I was so beat today I didn’t really take many pictures. I do have two to share though.

#1 – This is the cam itself: View Image #1, View Image #2

#2 – This is a quick snap shot of the packaging, note that no flash was used: View Image

#3 – This is one that I took on the porch outside, obviously the flash was used: View Image

Note that both those pictures are saved a 50% JPG quality but there is absolutely no difference from the original. I’ll have plenty more pictures as time progresses, for now I’m just not in the mood to really do much, I figure four is enough to get the point across heh. I’ll continue to admit that Freepay is a legit company, I still would not recommend them to anyone considering how drastically they’ve gone downhill over the last six months.

I’m sure I’ll have more of a ‘life’ update as the days go on. For now it’s a little after midnight and my heads starting to bother me again so I think it’s time I get myself to sleep…night all!

    Thanks for the vode of confidence! You’re probably right I will do better on the next midterm. It’s going to be an entirely different set of questions. So maybe just maybe I can pass on it. But I did do pretty good on the quiz. 7 out of 10. I guess this class isn’t for me. But I can’t stop now there’s two weeks left. Well; anyways, I’m glad you had fun at the mets’ game. I’m not a fan of them either but I went to one of their games when I was a child and got my hat signed by them. So that was pretty cool. Anyways, enjoy your new camera :D.

    It’s good to hear you are doing well, I know I haven’t talked to you in a while. I know what you mean about the ridiculous prices at baseball games, even concerts are outrageous. My friends and I usually tailgate before hand but you took the train so that might have been hard LOL So what else have you gotten from freepay asides from the ipod and the camera? I’m excited for you the camera is awesome.

    It’s funny you should mention coloring books, I sat down with my nephew earlier today and colored about 3 or 4 pictures, I was quite surprised how it passed the time.. and who knows I might do it again when I’m bored. haha.

    The baseball game sounded pretty cool. I’m not a fan of baseball at all but I’d go if there was nothing better to do (and around here.. there’s never anything to do).

    The quality of your camera is awesome, I can’t wait to see some new pics you take. Glad it finally came by the way. 🙂

    I spent today cleaning and being bored. Beta’s are cool, but it was probably smart not to walk home in the heat with one. That’s awesome about the baseball game, last MLB game I was at was the Braves vs. Cubs. Your camera looks awesome! It makes me want another new one.
