Told Ya!!

I was right... i said that I thought those blizzard predictions for us were wrong... and they were. Just like I said 4 days ago, its going to be warmer than they thought. We're not going to get anything but rain with temps in the 40's... like I said, lol. Also I said the rain/snow line would probably end up somewhere around the New York City area... and that's exactly where it's gonna be. There will however be an all out, crippling blizzard slamming the interior North East. Wish it was us! Oh well. Here's the updated computer models... just look at the post below to see how much of a difference it is. I'm the yellow dot under "ME"... go figure, lol.

Probably Just Hype, But Is There A Mid-December Blizzard On The Way?

OK, so we had a pretty good snowfall last week of about 3 inches. However, computer models are all starting to point at a major east coast storm around Sunday December 16 and Monday December 17. Yesterday it wasn't on the maps at all, this morning it was and strong, and now according to Accuweather.com meteorologist Henry Margusity, this evenings run of the models put it at record breaking blizzard strength! Now blizzards aren't unheard of here, but one in December pretty much is, especially as strong as this model is putting it at. Now I got my weather geek on, and looking at all forecast models combined put this thing pretty weaker, and with us in much warmer weather, like near the 45*-50* area of the thermometer. In that case, we'd get all rain no matter how much the storm dumps. So my early call is the computer models are getting overly excited about this storm, and they aren't factoring the realistic temperature forcasts. Its going to be a moderate (6"-12") snowfall with the snow/rain line right around the New York City area. Just for craps and giggles, I'm the little yellow dot next to "me". Again in the prematurely forecasted "blizzard" area. Just my thoughts, will keep you posted. I hope we get a blizzard here though with this one, would be so awesome! I want atleast 18"! LOL. Hey, I can dream... especially with the storm arriving before the official start of winter, lol.

SSSSSSSNNNNNOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

YIPEEEEEE!!!!!!! We got our first snowfall and it was actually decent! All in all we got a 3" snow. It started at around 6 AM on Wednesday December 6, and ended at around 11:30 PM. So it was an all day snowfall, the best kind! When it was winding up it came down really hard! It was crazy! Here are two pictures from my front yard the next morning.

Intense Monday Night Football

This is what a intense football game looks like in my household, lol. It was a good game, Ravens vs. Patriots in Baltimore. It was Monday cold night with snow flurries throughout the game on December 3rd. So close. The best game I have ever seen. We lost. But still an awesome game.

Almost Died... Maybe

So the house was filling up with the smell of propane ( I didn't smell it, but others did), and no one knew where it was coming from. Eventually my grandmother found that the BBQ propane tank had been opened completely. Why? Don't know. Cold, sleet and some snow and rain aren't exactly idealic conditions for a cook out, so we haven't had one for a few months, so that wasn't it. Hmmmmm.....

Back From NYC

So my trip to NYC was good. First day, our car broke down. But when your there you don't need a car thanks to all the public transportation. Did a little shopping, and a lot of walking and subway riding. Not much else to say. Here are some pictures I took while bored on the trains, and a hyper video as well!

I Just Bit My Tongue!

Owwww! I was eating a burger and all of a sudden I was in excruciating pain! I bit my tongue so hard i thought it was bit in half! It hurt so bad. I couldn't move my mouth. I got some papertowels and put it in mouth and sure enough my portal of tastebuds was bleeding. So i got some ice wrapped in a papertowel and am now icing my tongue as i type this.

I Am 1 of 30 People To Get Voyager Today!

Ok so i'm actually writing this on my Voyager! My local Verizon didn't even get any in and won't for a few weeks. So the closest one is about 20 mins away and they only got 30 in! I had to work all day today so my mom actually got up while it was still dark and arrived at the Verizon store at 7AM. She was third in line at that early in the morning! They opened up an hour early and were sold out in 15 mins! They are not going to get anymore in til next week, and it will only be 30 then too. So right now i'm 1 of only 30 people in the entire area to have this awesome phone! I will post a video tomorrow :-)

Don't Ya Wanna Work With Us Now?

So this is a lil video I made after shooting some shots at work. It was a slow boring day so I broke out my camera, and this is the result. I don't know why, but it lost a lot of quality after uploading. But still its good. A lot better than my phone vids your used to seeing lol.

Major Work Hours Headed My Way; Should I Become Full-Time?

Ok so like 90% of the people that work with me at Bank of America are moving. I mean there are going to be like 3-4 tellers left. That sucks. BUT, it does mean that I'm going to get MAJOR hours and hopefully MAJOR overtime :-). That would rock considering all the money I'm putting out at the moment. It looks like starting in December I could be working between 40-50 hours a week. So awesome! That brings me to my next topic...

... I have been considering going full-time at work. I mean I'm always there 30-40 hours a week now. So being there 40 hours every week might not be a bad idea. The extra mulah would be very appreciated by my bank account as well. So we'll see. I'll make my decision within a week or two while the position is still available.

Hi-Tech Drama

So i've been rambling about technology lately, but here's the breakdown. Last week my phone broke. It won't charge unless you hold the charger in the phone a certain way and sit there until you get enough juice to use the phone. So needless to say, I need a new phone. My contract is up in spring 2008, but some how my local VZW says its time for me to upgrade. I know thats not so, cause my bill says otherwise, and I just know. Its not time, but they say so, so I'm going for it. BUT I just spent $650 on my camcorder and accessories. Well I've been set on the LG Voyager, seen in previous posts, but now VZW just said they have ANOTHER iPhone like phone coming out, its called the Samsung U940. And its awesome lookin. Its aimed for December/January release. So now I'm in a delema. Do I get the Voyager, or wait, for an unknown amount of time for a phone I still know little about because of lack of info? Anyway as I have been debating this little pricey issue, I LOSE MY IPOD! I mean COME ON!!! Lost it yesterday and thought I dropped it as i was running around outside. Didn't find it after hours of searching inside and out. Woke up this morning thinking that now I have to buy a new phone AND a new iPod. Thats about $950! Sucks. I have wanted three things, three major purchases... camcorder (got it), new phone, and iPod touch. I didn't know I'd get the camcorder, than be forced to have to get the other two. Anyway all morning today my fam and I have been searching for the iPod Nano that I call mine. I was scared it was outside in the yard cause it rained all night, and that would be the end of it. I was about to give up and my mom found it... OUTSIDE. :-( It was soaked. She gave it to me and I held it as if it were an ill baby. It was flashing www.apple.com/support/itunes, with a black and white exclamation point. I blow dried it and then I put it on the charger, and nothing except that flashing message for a few minutes... than LIFE! :-D It works :-D I'm so happy. I can't explain it. So now my worries can go back to what phone, and how long do I want to wait? I mean my phone is on the brink of death. Anyway here are the two phones I'm interested in. I just keep telling myself if I wait for the Samsung, by the time its about to come out, I'll hear about another cool phone in the works, and then I'll want to wait for that one. So I'll never get one if I keep waiting. So anyway I have to be logical, lol. Either way I'm only doing a year contract. Ok so here are my two loves... I can only choose one.






LG Voyager







Samsung U940

Too Excited!

Ok, so I cant contain myself! I NEED MY NEW PHONE! Lol. I am getting way too excited. But i'm starting to get a little weary because I'm looking down the pipeline and seeing a boatload of awesome, sleak, touchscreen futuristic phones making there way to the market. I'm def getting the VOYAGER, but how long will I have it? I dont know, but Im just excited that the phones of the future are finally HERE! :-D

iPhone + EnV = DREAM COME TRUE!

LOL. Ok so I really wanted the iPhone. I mean come on who didn't? And I almost got it. But I just couldn't leave Verizon. Verizon has never let me down, and I can always count on awesome reception with Verizon. VZW also does vigorous testing with phones, so you KNOW that they are quality phones when you get them. So I decided to just hunker down and wait for something else to come along in VZW..... AND IT DID! Its called the Voyager. And thankfully its from Verizon. Its like and iPhone meets the EnV. Its a fully functional touchscreen phone, just like the iPhone, but unlike the iPhone, it actually opens and folds out into a full QWERTY keyboard, like the EnV!!! Now thats freakin' awesome! Its going to cost about $350 for me to get it, but come release day, November 21, 2007 IT'S MINE! LOL. My bank account has certainly taken a beating this month. $650 for camcorder and such in one night, and a few weeks later I'm probably looking at another $400-$500 being sucked outta my account. After that I really have to settle down on spending. I mean these are really that last two things I wanted that were really pricey... oh wait I forgot about the iPod Touch.... crap. Ok after that I'll slow down on spendings lol. But for now my eyes are set on the Voyager! Here's a few pictures of the phone.

The NEW MicVachon.com

My old third party that used to post news on me has been discontinued at my request. I need to simplify my life, and having a third party website didn't help with that. So all the news you'll be getting on me from here on out will actually BE FROM ME! Lol. Hope ya enjoy the seamless transistion. You can still access the old micvachon.com (third party version) by clicking here. However no new posts will be posted there. All of my life will be HERE from now on :-D. BTW, this blog is supposed to take up the whole screen. Its programmed to do that, there's nothing wrong with your computer, lol. Its all part of the new MicVachon.com!
