Cap’n stace

Today I had my first experience in a hh-65 with the rotor blades turning! Roomy and I got to be “dead weight” for some run ups today. This was the first time I have been in this Helio while it was running, helmet and everything. I believe we even lifted 2inches from the ground. I didn’t even notice until we sat her back down. I feel so productive at work, while they were doing the tests I was making my grocery list.

I am very particular about what cologne or perfume I wear. Unfortunately, I like the expensive ones. When I choose one that I really like it is usually out of my budget. That is why I buy my perfume online from DRH Fine Gifts. They have the best prices on over 5000 designer fragrance products. It is easy to find my favorite colognes on their website and they ship them directly to me. It saves me time and money when I shop at DRH Fine Gifts.

Hey ya’ll, it’s my mom’s birthday today so go to her blog, The Pond and wish her a happy birthday. She is turning 29 which is kinda strange since I am 27.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Anybody see the newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie? It is out on DVD now, but I still haven’t seen it. I had no interest until recently. The movie is computer generated and in my opinion can’t possibly be as good as the first three were. Nothing beats the cartoon versions though. I used to watch them on saturday mornings, and played the old school Nintendo version. My friends and I (J may remember), would pick our favorite and whoop some imaginary bad guys. I am reminiscing because my roommate now thinks I am a Ninja Turtle. Not because of my super sneaky ninja skills, but rather because of the amount of pizza I eat! Cow-a-bung-a y’all!!!

Mom posted a great way to come up with your very own band name (on the Pond), in case you ever need one. Which I do, cause I play Guitar Hero all the time and you need a stellar name. My original one was Brody Boy, after our superstar rock dog. To acquire new guitars and songs I need to make more money on the game so I need to start a new band
Treaty of Commerce and Navigation shall be its name, If we had an album it would be called “to excel if possible.” and this would be the cover

thanks mom, sooooo cool!

I went and saw Cloverfield last night. This was the first (and probably last) time in a long while that I went to see a movie on opening night. I have this theory that every now and then you should try doing something you don’t like just to remind yourself why you don’t like it. Like pickles, I hated pickles but I tried eating one when I was at my parents and decided that they are not so bad. Movies on opening night on the other hand. . . I guess I don’t like crowds or people in my personal space bubble. It seemed like every time I tried to move in a direction someone hurried in front of me only to go slower once they got there. Anyhow I’m still digesting the movie and forming an opinion. It was all shot to seem like a home video. There were warnings outside of the theater that motion sickness may occur. So, mom you won’t want to see this one. It was very unique and seeing the monster didn’t ruin the movie like it sometimes does. Cloverfield will leave you thinking, as does any thing by J.J. Abrams.

Well, I have completed my first week of work here in Florida and it feels like everything I learned in E-City flew right out of my head. This is the new chopper I will be attached to for the next few years and I have found I don’t know a thing about them.

Things are great so far, everyone is helpful and excited to show me new things. I think that’s so they won’t have to do those things anymore. I’ve been trying out sushi places around here and am now addicted, of course I usually only eat the rolls that are cooked, baby steps when trying new things.

I have arrived back in Florida, unfortunately it is a bit on the chilly side here. Still warmer than Indiana. The town house looks the same as it did when I left 3 weeks ago, cept my tub was a little different--That is Merlin my roommates cat and he thinks it’s his tub. I have been unpacking my crap and it seemed like less stuff when I packed it. I brought every book that was a Christmas or birthday present with me, so very heavy stuff to drag up my newly acquired stairs. I decided since I was putting stuff away that I needed to get a trash can to help which means I HAD to go to the Super Target across the street. They took much more of my money than I thought they were going to. I now have huge trash bags, a toothbrush holder and soap dispenser that match my new bathroom trash can, a paper shredder, brita water filter jug thingy, and a very pretty shower curtain that is too short! SUPER Target.

I have had so much fun being home and seeing some of my old friends. One of my friends is due to have a baby in a few months and another has a baby that is 3 months old. Another friend’s little girl is walking around and is at that fun age where you have to watch her every minute! I know I am going to miss them bunches when I have to leave but it has been fun seeing them for real instead of just in pictures. When I get my pictures developed, I will post some here so I can remember them at these ages.

It kinda bugs me that my mom and dad have a piano in their living room that no one plays. I am thinking about learning to play.
