Ridiculous!

Seriously?  Do people have nothing better to do than sit around and wait for you to use your debit card, steal the number and then go on a shopping spree?  WTF!?

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Model:  2007 Porsche 911 (997) GT3 RS

Made by:  AUTOart

Scale:  1/18

Finally got myself one of these.  :)  I’m debating on whether or not to also acquire the green version…

Canon Wi-Fi Printer

Finally bought a wi-fi printer and WOW!  This thing is cool!  It’s the Canon MG5220 and setting it up was fairly easy.  $99 at Walmart.  :)

Chevy Truck

1972 Chevy C-10

1:18 scale by Highway 61







I love this model!  I've been wanting one of these trucks for awhile now, so this is very cool to finally have one.

Cheap Benz

$46 shipped.  Not bad for an AUTOart model.  Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.0 sedan.  Nicely done, overall.  I may need to do a side-by-side shot with the newer C-Class descendant of this car.  :-)

Shelby GT500

Greenlight finally released their GT500 diecast (1/18 scale):

Not a bad model, despite a few minor hiccups (including overly dark wheels, among other things).  I really like it.  They packed a lot of detail into this car.

Gran Turismo 5

This game is way overdue...like three years overdue.  It was supposed to be released "early 2010" and now it has been pushed back to "November 2010".  Yeah...I'll believe it when I see it.

On the night shift...

Grave shifts suck.  Especially when they are 12 hours long.  Ugh!

Paint Shop Pro X2

It took me awhile to figure out all the upgrades to PSP X2 over my previous PSP 7.  But now that I'm familiar with PSP X2, I can't imagine using PSP 7 anymore.  X2 is so much more powerful! 

I've added a very cool Alienskin Software plug in (Exposure 2) that applies filters that emulate film, and it does so very well.  I can create some very interesting effects with it...or just enhance the color and tonality of the photo.  Cool!

TV Shows...

Yes, I will admit that I watch entirely too much television...but without further ado, here's the list:

1. Supernatural
2. Fringe
3. Legend of the Seeker
4. Stargate Universe
5. Heroes
6. Caprica
7. Eureka
8. Sanctuary
9. Motorweek
10. "V"

Those are listed, roughly, in order of favorites.  :-)

School

I guess I'm going to have to look into some kind of financial aid first, but I definitely need to go back to school.  I am thinking about using the University of Phoenix's online program, where I could get an Associate of Arts degree in Information Systems/Web Development, my preferred area of study.

Sent off for the information...so let's see how much it's going to cost me.  :-)

More Diecasts I Want...

A few more I would not mind picking up.

1. Greenlight 1/18 scale 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (Grabber Blue)
2. Greenlight 1/18 scale 2010 Ford Mustang GT (Performance White)
3. Sun Star 1/18 scale 1984 Ford Escort RS1600i (Black)

Diecast Wants...

Well, I can't really afford to buy myself diecasts anymore...so here's a handy list of ones I want, in case anyone wants to pick me up one or two.  Or three.  Or four.  LOL

All are 1/18 scale and they are listed in no particular order, by the way.  This is a partial list; it may get larger as the year goes on.  :-)

1. Sun Star 1984 Ford Escort RS1600i in red 
2. PMA/Minichamps 2006 Audi TT Coupe in red
3. Highway 61 1971 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe in "In-Violet" (purple)
4. AUTOart 1995 Volvo 850R Wagon in red
5. AUTOart 1972 Lamborghini Urraco in blue
   

It's 2010!

Happy New Year to everyone, in case I didn't already say it.  It's a new year and that means new opportunities are just waiting to be discovered.  I am sure this is going to be a VERY good year!

What makes the new year even better is that I received a PlayStation 3 for Christmas!  Woo-hoo!  And yes...it really does do everything.  LOL
