New Sidekick



Yes, as if there weren't already enough, T mobile just released a new model of their popular communication device, simply named "Sidekick." Being a current Sidekick ID owner I received a text message from T mobile to check it out at www.sidekick.com. The new model has a new sleek shell which can be customized, there is now video recording and playback along with the mp3 player and 2 mega pixel camera. The web browser has also been overhauled to allow computer like surfing over the internet. Looks cool, nice new features but I still think I want that iPhone. (._.)

Holy @#$*! Gas, $3.89/gallon!?!

Yes, that is right, for the first time since June the price of gas has fallen below $4/gallon. I guess we wait and see how long this lasts, maybe it will get even lower, whatever happens I'm glad we got this break right now...definitely needed it. (._.)

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Trailer


I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan but this trailer looks really good and I know some of my friends are hardcore Potter fans. (._.)

Comic Con 2008


Comic Con International at the San Diego Convention Center this year was amazing. I went on the opening day and as usual it was packed. This year, all general admission and passes were done online, so there were no long lines to buy tickets. After everyone checked in and received their lanyard it was off to the races. If you have ever been to Comic Con before, you know you can find any kind of fan boy or nerd there and surprisingly a lot of them are beautiful girls! Each year hundreds of guests come dressed in homemade costumes portraying as their favorite characters from comics to movies and beyond. I think the best thing about the convention is you never know what will happen. Breaking movies news, exclusive collectible items, video games, you name it and it is there. Dozens of well - known celebrities walk around the exhibits side by side with some of their biggest fans like they're an everyday person, it's truly exciting. Walking into the convention you will always walk out with a huge bag of swag. This year I left with a bunch of stuff including a huge "Saw IV" poster, a free spiderman light keychain, a professional artist pen, t shirts, comics, and so much more. I even got a custom drawing done by the guys from explosm.net, I'll post that later. While I was there I got to play the new "Street Fighter IV" game at the Capcom booth and picked up a limited edition Street Fighter Shadaloo fitted cap. I was also interviewed by the local San Diego resource channel it will be airing in August, so I'll have that for you guys as well. This year was great and I can't wait for next year and I suggest for all those who are curious and are into movies, comics, video games, or television should check online and get ready for next year's show.

Ice Skating in the summer.




So I went ice skating with my friends Lissette and Robin last Wednesday and it was a lot of fun. It had been about 12 years since I had last skated, but I wasn't afraid to hit the ice. That doesn't mean I didn't literally hit the ice...yeah it hurt. Thanks for the memories.....and aching body. (._.)

New Threads





So I went to Comic Con last week and picked up this limited edition Trimuvir x Street Fighter fitted cap. It is so sick!!! Anyone who is a fan of Street Fighter knows what's up, the hat has M. Bison Shadaloo symbol on the front and on the back the Shadaloo bolt. The cap comes together perfectly with a bright red body, yellow symbols, and a blue bill. Ha, who said Comic Con was just a bunch of comics? (._.)
