Christmas hits the Reston Town Center like a ton of bricks.

November 27th, 2005 · No Comments

So as Jessi wrote, Reston got a dose of Christmas on Friday. The 15th annual Reston Town Center Parade came through and this years theme was the Dr. Seuss classic, “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish”.

But I’m not really gonna talk about that. What I am gonna talk about are these things:

What are [...]

Hope everyone has a very good ThanksGiving! Already drank my coffee, had a muffin and I’m watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Speaking of, if any of you are in the Reston Area tomorrow we’ll be watching the Reston Parade. Come by and hang out.

Argyle.. it’s not for socks anymore.

November 23rd, 2005 · 1 Comment

So Hoover gots a problem with people laugh at his argyle half zip sweater, which is surprising if you’ve ever seen the picture of him when he was younger and not allowed to shave. What I think is funny are the people laughing at him, Jones and Burnt. Both of which, when combined wouldn’t know [...]

XBox 360 woes

November 23rd, 2005 · No Comments

While I’m slightly disappointed in not getting an XBox 360, mostly because everyone seemed to agree that it would most likely be the best thing to show off a plasma screen. I also wanted to see what the new XBox Live experience was like. All the hype leading up to the release seemed to point [...]

Best Buy XBOX 360 Screw up.

November 22nd, 2005 · 1 Comment

Just got back from the camp out at Best Buy in Sterling Virginia (Store #) with Hoover. We got f’d pretty bad here. Best Buy really screwed up this whole deal.
Today I headed over to Best Buy at:4:00ish to check out the whole situation. I talked to a Best Buy employee who told me that they would [...]

Tucker <3 TiVo + iPod

November 21st, 2005 · 1 Comment

Fantastic. We may have to call off the TiVo death watch for this year. Guess I will be able to watch any T.V. show on my iPod that I want. Of course there still is the issue with the Macrovision built into the 7.2 release of the TiVo software. Here is a run down of [...]

Awesomeness

November 21st, 2005 · No Comments

I can’t believe Family Guy just did a Little Shop of Horror’s reference. That’s fantastic! I pissed myself laughing so hard.

Handy Hands.

November 20th, 2005 · 1 Comment

Today I finally got around to getting some house stuff done this weekend. For the last few months my faucet in my bathroom has been reduced to a slow drip. Lately it’s been barely putting out any water and it’s really been pissing me off. So today I decided to hit up the Home Depot [...]

Superman Returned.. and I almost returned in my pants.

November 18th, 2005 · No Comments

So went and saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night. Midnight Show. More on that later.
What happened before that was problem the most wonderful thing that could happen to a boy like me. I got to see the Superman Returns Teaser trailer. Clocking in at probably about 30 seconds it was [...]

Must be winter time at the Reston Town Center.

November 17th, 2005 · No Comments

How do I know it’s winter time? Was the sudden drop from 70 degree’s to 25 in the span of 10 hours? Was it that they started decorating for christmas about 3 weeks ago? Could it have been that smell in the air that just tells you that it’s winter?
Nope.
It was the 2 a.m. [...]

Big budget pr0n to take off?

November 15th, 2005 · No Comments

I’m just full of aweful puns today aren’t I? Anyway, came across this new movie or is it porn? Pirates, according to some people is the first big budget porn flick, finally melding the two industries. I’m not for certain yet, I’ll need to watch this several times to get a good “grasp” of the [...]

Bring out your dead.. Bring out your dead..

November 15th, 2005 · No Comments

Dead links that is! Har Har Har. Anyway, the old RSS link will soon be dieing a slow death, I’d say about 7 days worth of death. It will be replaced by a better and stronger RSS link, one that is provided by feedburner. The site has already been updated with the new link but [...]

I know I’m a little late here but..

November 15th, 2005 · No Comments

Fuck Fox. They’ve cancelled Arrested Development. Looks like Showtime might pick it up though. If it wasn’t for Football, Family Guy, Simpsons, American Dad and well a few other shows I’d totally stop watching.
As a side note thought, being a fan of all things Buffy, sucks that Nicholas Brendan’s (Xander) show Kitchen Confidential was cancelled. [...]

Collectors in all of us.

November 14th, 2005 · No Comments

It’s no secret that I collect comic books and action figures. I’m beginning to think that the Hoover’s are starting to secretly collect animals.
Also, my entries into “Name the Hoover’s Dog Contest” is:

Mushu : meaning small but mighty in Chinese
Puti : means White (or mostly white) dog
Svava : Warrior Maiden from Norse Mythology

Yeah well what [...]
