King of the castle, lord of the manor

Out of the few times that I’ve been to the beach, I think it is safe to say that I never mastered building Sandcastles. Fear not, my friend! If you suck at making sandcastles too, there is a really neat site that can be fun for adults as well as children.
At Virtualsandcastle.com you can build really cool sandcastles without even leaving your computer. No sand in your shoes and no messy cleanup!
Building sandcastles at virtualsandcastle.com is easy. The virtual sandcastle builder is simple. First you choose the beach you would like to build on. I chose Beaches Negril, a seven mile beach that I would love to visit. To build the castle, select the castle pieces from the menu at the bottom. You can scroll through the different parts by clicking on the left or right arrows. When you place a piece to the castle, a menu comes up where you can edit your pieces color, size, arrangement and so on. Sizing the piece is a bit tricky, simply drag the arrow to the left or right of the small pop-up scale menu.
I chose to build the structure of my castle first, then I toyed with different colors. Next is time for accessories! There are many you can chose from. For mine I added to flags for the top of my castle, a cute little starfish, shovel and pail, a beach ball, and a seashell. There are many things you can add though, not just these!
Once your castle is complete simply click save and you’re done! Once the e-card has been saved you can chose to create another, send it to a friend, or simply go to the home page. Visit the gallery to see your awesome new castle on display!
Here’s mine:

I need better smilies.
I somehow managed to force myself to go to the bank to start a savings account. I’m not quite sure I understand it though… in order to use it you have to set a certain amount of money that you would like to deposit each month. In turn there is no required minimum to keep in the account, but you can only withdraw from it once a month? I don’t know, I had originally wanted a standard savings account but I wasn’t aware you had to keep $300 in it at all times. I hate to say it but I don’t believe I have a spare $300 to just have lying around. Not yet anyhow
I also went to the post office to mail a check to our garbage disposal service. I’m glad I remembered to make that payment because having no trash pickup is the f’ing pits. I think the people who owned the house previously just burned their trash in a big pile out back. Ummm… no thanks!
I still managed to make that trip to Jack In The Box. I freaking CHOWED, sourdough spicy crispy chicken club… mmmhmm. And don’t forget the three cheese sticks.
They get BURNED

If I worked for the CIA and was fired, I’m not real sure what I would do with myself. I mean… where do you go after the CIA?! In a new series, USA Network’s Burn Notice Michael Weston, a CIA Operative has just been fired.
“Where will I go?” he thinks, hoping that this is a dream, “Who will I rely on if I can’t rely on myself?” He scrambles to gather his belongings from the office that has become his second home. He picks up the photos from his desk, a photo of his wife whom he loved dearly. She left him. Next to it was a photo of his dog when she was just a puppy.
After all his things were gathered, in a fit of rage he stops by his old friend, Ralph’s desk. Ralph is thinking deeply. “Ralph,” Michael said. “RALPH!” he repeats. Startled Ralph looks up and in a very concerned tone asks Michael, “Where are you going with all of your things?” “They canned me, I am blacklisted” Michael replies… “Moe came in and handed me a burn notice, and then just walked away. Why did they do this? I don’t understand I brought so much to the table!” Ralph goes back to thinking deeply when he realizes that he overheard the head honcho discussing changes that were to be made in the office with his assistant. “I heard head-hog discussing something with his assistant, that a few people must leave because he felt that they knew too much, but I had no idea it would be you!”
What does Michael know? How could he get fired for knowing too much? Visit the burn notice web site to figure out what really happened.
Damn lunch breaks
My lunch break is minutes away. I had originally planned to go to the bank and start up a savings account to help keep all my crap in order. But the closer my lunch break gets the most I want to say screw that and go grab some food.
Last night I was up until midnight eating Riesens. I decided I should just stop buying candy all together. For some reason I cannot fight the urge to over indulge. It seems like it’s mostly late at night while I’m on the computer and everyone else is asleep. My house can be pretty boring at night.

Last night I went to the website for Reno 911! Miami The Movie and discovered that there were four fun games to play to celebrate the release of the Unrated DVD! I decided to play Midnight Shootout. I chose this game because I thought it might be easy, but my memory is apparently worse than I thought. You are given a few seconds to look at a scene with cutouts of civilians, criminals, clowns, etc. and then “blindfolded.” When you can no longer see your targets you have to try and remember their location and shoot them, without (hopefully!) hitting any innocent bystanders. Each round you were given a different weapon, and for the final round… a rocket launcher… sweeeet!
Reno 911! Miami The Movie takes the cops from the hilarious TV show, Reno 911 to the big screen. They hit Miami Beach to go to a police convention when terror strikes. The convention center is the target of a terrorist attack. The cops from the Comedy Central TV series are called upon to save the day.
The hilarious officers are up against very strange things such as gay prostitues and drug lords. One of my favorite characters in the movie is played by Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock… he is a super cop with grenades!
I really enjoyed this movie. If you like to watch the television series, Reno 911 you will definitely get your kicks from Reno 911! Miami. I must see the unrated version!
