The Nick

So today is May 4, 2007.  It will forever be known as the day that Spider-Man 3 premiered to the masses.  I will be honest, I have not had the chance to see Spider-Man 3 yet and probably will not for awhile.  The movie is already sold out through Sunday afternoon at all the theaters I frequent and a lot more that I don’t.  I have thus far heard some mixed reviews of it, from people who have seen it either at the Tribeca Film Festival Premiere or claim to have seen it at a sneak preview.  I will reserve my judgment for it once I see it.

I do however want to point out that ever since the teaser poster (pictured here) came out last year… I don’t think there has been as much buzz or anticipation for a movie since Star Wars: Episode I.  As we all know, Episode I was a complete bomb.  I truly hope that Spider-Man 3 does not fall prey to the same issue.  I tend to doubt it for one reason and one reason only… Spider-Man 3 has Venom.  I’m pretty psyched about the whole thing.  Of course, before it even hits theaters, there is talk of a Spider-Man 4.  I hate when they do that.  Let’s wait and see how this one does before we get all happy happy joy joy about the possibility of another one… lest we be cursed like the tragedy known as X-Men 3.

On to a completely different topic, this blog’s feeds.  I’ve been trying to figure out why my RSS feed is a junky squashed mess.  For whatever reason, it just wouldn’t turn out a post with links, images, or formatting of any kind.  Believe me when I tell you that was not my intention.  I understand the importance of feed readers.  That’s really what I use as well to read blogs.  It was not some trick to make you click through because now I’m all blog sexy and stuff.

So as it turns out… its only the RSS feed that is junky… but the Atom feed is totally fine.  So what I did was redirect my FeedBurner feed over to the Atom feed.  It seems to have worked for me, so if anyone notices the difference then let me know.  If you don’t notice a difference, then you probably need to change your subscription which you can do simply by hitting the orange feed button or click here if your lazy.  If you still don’t notice a difference… then please let me know that as well.

One of the reasons I like Feedburner is because they let you add on some cool things on the bottom of the feed.  So as you can tell from the sidebar, I now have a Twitter Account.  Well there is this beta site called Twit This! which basically joins with Tinyurl and allows you to “twit” the URL of a post.  I think it’s really pretty cool.  So I added that to the feed too.  I don’t really expect anyone to “twit” me… or any of those other things… I just think its cool.

Finally, the last thing I did was add an e-mail subscription service.  I don’t really know why I did that… maybe for those who have no idea how to use an RSS Reader… but its there.  Its all for you.  I live to serve.

Finally, a few of you may remember the ghastly horror that occurred a few months ago with The Nick‘s hair.  Now I have made it no secret that I think the person behind it was her Cracker boyfriend.  Who else would bankroll such an atrocity?  It had to be him… to try and force other guys to look the other way.  I also think he’s insecure about their relationship.  Granted… with her history… yeah, I can understand it… but to have her get that dastardly looking thing was over the top!

So imagine what happened when she walked in Wednesday night and looked like this…

So… guess who has ‘net back @ home?  Yup… I do!  Of course… all they did was swap the cable modem.  It would have been easier had they just sent one by mail… but whatever.  The fact is I’m back up and running like a junkie in need of a fix.

NetFlix also sent me the receipt e-mails for my videos, and my new ones are supposedly on the way.  What’s even funnier is that they sent me an e-mail about improving service and what not… and asked me when I mailed the videos back.  So maybe FOADing on the ‘Net is better than I thought.  Maybe some lackey of NetFlix read it… and maybe… just maybe they will make sure it never happens again.  Of course it could just be chance… or karma.

As for some drama… because while I don’t necessarily mention it… I know that is one of the reasons you come here… I am after all The King of All Drama… well this week’s is brought to you by The Nick.  So I get a text message from her yesterday saying that she woke up and has a horrible cramp in her neck.  So therefore she can’t work.  I text back quite literally, ”R u kidding?” to which I didn’t get a reply.

Now last night when she came in she claimed it was something she gets, and it is muscular, and blah blah blah.  The thing is, I know the truth.  I know that the Cracker she’s going out with probably had her contorted into a bunch of weird positions from the Kama Sutra.  Yep.  That’s what it was.  It was probably ”The Waterfall” that you see here.  Yep.  I think that’s the one.  It’s drama I tell you… total drama.

During a recent e-mail conversation I was asked if my mom reads my blog.  The answer is no.  She does know about Cereal Wednesday… because I had to kind of explain the big bowl that ended up in her dishwasher and all the boxes of half-eaten cereal I was giving her.  Of course… just in case she comes out of the dark ages… well I’m sticking the Sex Meme I’m stealing from Avitable below the fold… you know… just in case…

So today is Wednesday.  As I have been doing for quite a few Wednesdays… I present to you this week’s edition of Cereal Wednesday…

So yeah, I ran over again.  By quite a bit to be honest.  So let me fill you in on the offer:

The offer was for a Shrek Inflatable Boogie Board.  Now, this is a mail away offer, but it is actually a cool mail away offer.  On every box of certain Kellogs cereals are Shrek Tokens, in promotion for Shrek the Third that is coming out later this year.  What is cool about the offer is that it actually gives you options.  So to get a Shrek Inflatable Boogie Board you can do one of two things:

1) Mail in one token a $3.99 and receive the Shrek Inflatable Boogie Board
2) Mail in five tokens and receive the Shrek Inflatable Boogie Board

So basically, all you have to do is really buy only ONE box of cereal and then pay for postage and handling as opposed to most other offers that make you buy 4 or 5 boxes of cereal.  I think the fact they give you an option is pretty awesome.

You may also have noticed that I’ve started numbering the Cereal Wednesdays.  I’ve decided to number them with Roman Numerals, and was surprised to find that I was actually up to XIII (13 for those of you who may not be familiar with Roman Numerals) on the list.  I’ve eaten a lot of cereal… and its all for you.  I live to serve.

On a final note… my t-shirt offer deadline is tonight.  There have been some people who have expressed interest but I think either a) are afraid I’m a “cereal killer” b) are afraid to have their picture taken or c) only wear button down shirts.  So… allow me to address each concern publicly.  On (c) people generally wear t-shirts underneath button down shirts (b) Body shots only are fine by me… but if that still concerns you… we can always work something out… especially if you have a pet and (a) Mr. Fab doesn’t think I would be a “cereal killer”, so why should you?  You can always pick a different address to have it delivered too… like a boyfriends or an aunts or something.  Now there’s no pressure… I just want to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to get one of these oh so rare edition shirts.

C’mon.  You know you want it…

… The Nick after all liked hers… and she’s a fashion snob.
