Want to Preorder Xbox 360 at Best Buy?

4

They haven’t really made it known yet, but if you plan on preordering the Xbox 360 from your local Best Buy, you’re going to be in for a surprise. You’ll only be given the chance to preorder if you are or become a RewardZone member. That’s right. You’ll have to pay an extra $10 to sign up for their RewardZone program if you wish to pay the preorder price and have a brand new Xbox 360 waiting for you on release day.

Help the Victims of Hurricane Katrina

If you have some extra cash sitting on the side, I think you should check out the link below and consider donating to the Red Cross (make sure to choose Hurricane Relief to direct your funds there) in order to help all the people who had the poor luck of having their lives turned completely upside down by Hurricane Katrina. The Red Cross has a minimum required donation of $5, but, hey, that’s not really that much money.

Opera for Free

0

Opera is yet another web browser that has been around for a very long time, 10 years to be exact. While it’s the most feature rich and most tighly kept to standards, it’s been held back by the fact that you either have to pay for it or deal with small (very small) text ads at the top of the browser window. However, until Wednesday at 12am PDT, you can get a completely free copy, legally, simply by heading here and filling out the form. Once you submit it, a screen will come up with registration codes. Download the browser and use the appropriate code (most people will use Windows code) and, wah la!, you have a completely free, fully functioning version of one of the best browsers out there. Give it a shot and see what you think.

Woman Burns Down House

1

A woman accidentally set fire to her own home Tuesday while trying to kill snakes on her front porch, according to investigators. She said she found a nest of snakes in a couch on her porch and doused the snakes with lighter fluid. When she threw a match on them, the couch burned and so did her house.

Howard Phifer, who lives up the street, said there are a lot of snakes in this area. “I’ve been in this area 45 years,” Phifer said, “and that’s’ the most snakes I’ve seen since I’ve been here.” After the woman set the couch on fire she realized the flames were spreading, so she ran inside to call for help. The fire then engulfed the home and she had to jump out of a window.

The woman is okay and so is her dog. Phifer said he has an idea why snakes are slithering into his neighborhood. “Building houses and running them out of the woods or what not,” said Phifer. “All I know is they’re around.”

These stories occur so often, as of late, I decided to create a whole category here for shit like this. How stupid can a person be? It completely boggles the mind.

Who is the “Bitch Dog?”

CHICAGO Aug 17, 2005 — LaChania Govan said she got bounced around by her cable company when she called to complain. She made dozens of calls and was even transferred to a person who spoke Spanish a language she doesn’t understand.

But when she got her August bill from Comcast she had no trouble understanding she’d made somebody mad. It was addressed to “Bitch Dog.”

“I was like you got to be freaking kidding me,” said Govan, 25. “I was so mad I couldn’t even cuss.”

Next time you call tech support, remember that you may wind up being the next “Bitch Dog” haha.

By the time you see this message, I’m sure you will be very confused and wondering if you, perhaps, clicked the wrong link. Rest assured my friends, this is still Xpression. Due to the limitations of the old system and my own personal boredom with it, I decided to updgrade to WordPress. It is a very flexible blog system that simply had the plugins I need to provide as easy a transition as possible. The theme, while not of my own creation, was heavily modified by me to provide you with the same information you’ve grown used to on the main page of Xpression.

The only major change to the presentation is the fact that every post now appears on the front page. It’s how the system works and may take some time to get used to, but I do believe it helps you, the reader, to more quickly access the information.

This is still a work in progress, so there may be times things are completely broken or a little out of whack, but I felt I was far enough along to set this to live. Hopefully, this new design and system will encourage people to comment more. I know, personally, it definitely encourages me to post more.

Thank you for your continued interest in my life and, well, let the controversy continue.

A message to the haters…

To all the dick heads on my case lately: I actually like WindowBlinds. Just as I like Firefox. Just as I like AIM. Just as I like RealPlayer. I’m allowed to be critical of an application and still like it.
