So I get a phone call, asking for me by name, on my line which is:

1. Unlisted
2. In my mother’s name
3. NEVER given out to any companies/agencies

and the caller claims to be representing Maxim Magazine. When I asked where she got my number, she answered “Maxim Magazine”. Knowing that Maxim does not have my phone number, I again inquired where they got my numbed and her reply was again “Maxim Magazine”…

After telling her that I did NOT receive maxim AT THAT NUMBER she hung up.

Now, I dialed star[*] 69 and got the number 800-362-0796… I’ve been trying to research that number but with no luck. So far, it will cost me between $60 and $250 just to find out who owns the number. $250 to find out who called MY phone.

I call out to the masses. If anybody has access to this information would you please email me any information you have. I dunno, maybe someone in your family is in law enforcement or is a private investigator? I could use a hand…

Some things just don’t stick in your mind. No matter how many times you try to remember. I just saw Collateral tonight. I tend to forget the name of this movie EVERY time I tell someone about it. “I just saw… that movie with Tom Cruise.” is all that comes out of my mind. Even in this post, I had to go back and fill in the name. lol

The movie was pretty good, though I missed the ending. I figured that I had time to run to the bathroom and get back before the climactic moment, but as I returned, the action had ceased and the movie ended. Bum Grapes!!!

Just got in from seeing Bryan Adams at Jones Beach. I have to admit, I didn’t really think I’d be that into it, so I gave the tix to my parents. I almost didn’t go, but I’m so glad that I did. Though he played some of his slower ballads, most of the music was “good ol’ rock ‘n roll”!

The show was great.

The Hard Drive I ordered to replace the one that died in my PC arrived at the Melville Fed Ex office this morning around 8:15. I called FedEx to arrange to pick it up at their walk in center.

I went to FedEx and the guy couldn’t find my package. It wasn’t on hold nor did it show up in his computer under my address. I failed to bring the tracking number with me, so I headed back home and logged on to the Fed-Ex website. Called up the tracking page and sent it to the printer… The printer took 2 minutes to warm up and then spit out my confirmation page.

As I was walking out of my bedroom into the hallway, I looked down at the paper and read the top line…The word DELIVERED stood out to me… I lifted my head to notice the box sitting on the shelf in the hallway.

Aparently while I was 5 minutes away at Fed-Ex picking up my package, the Fed-Ex delivery guy had delivered the box to my house.

Here’s why I love and hate being a geek. I found a 13.5 GB HDD in one of my old computers… It seems to be in pretty good shape too. Had no problem installing XP and seems to be quicker than my old drives too

why I hate it? Have you read my prev post? I JUST bought a new drive online. LOL!
