Thanks

I saw that someone subscribed to the killkaraoke email updates and I was like who would want this stuff in their inbox? And it turned out it was Alex. Now I'll replace sending Alex email with posting to killkaraoke since he'll still get it. I really need to link to that page somewhere more obvious. I was going to put the form on every page but it won't fit on the new layout (once I release the new layout). Instead I'll put the link somewhere.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes and stuff.

Here's a tip from Sara: "You should be able to move after eating a meal." I always forget that one and eat until I can't move. I thought that was how you tell you're full. Otherwise you're just guessing. I can't risk not being full.

I posted one or two new videos to Revver, and I'll be updating the videos section with larger versions of the videos and some of them will be downloadable. I'll post again when that's done.

Facebook added features like "notes" and they let you syndicate the notes from a feed. You can now read my killkaraoke posts from my facebook profile. I don't know why you would want to do that though. I guess if you hate Alex and just want to read my posts you could do that. That'll show him. I like how people fear or are angered by the facebook changes. I think the changes are decent. At least facebook is distancing itself from being a myspace clone. Facebook has the potential to introduce people to "Web 2.0" while myspace will never get there. I wish myspace would import feeds.

Household Tips

You know how on TV when someone's house gets robbed, the walls have outlines where the furniture and pictures used to be? Well, if you're getting a new place and can't afford furniture, you should paint the walls to look like that and tell people that you used to have furniture but you got robbed. I wish I had a good picture to illustrate this.

Another tip which I read somewhere is to always have some get well soon cards, and then if your place is a mess and you have company coming over, just put the cards out and then your visitors will think you've been sick lately so you haven't been well enough to clean.

How to think you're getting stronger

Alex said that you can feel stronger by buying cheap things like tables and other stuff, so then when they break you can say something like "Oh I must be too strong for my own good now" or something like that. This tip would probably require you to be rich since you can waste money on things that break easily and keep buying new things. So my earlier tip on how to get free money won't help you on this tip. Sorry about that.

How to get free money repeatedly

This tip is to help you feel siked each time you find change in the washing machine when you wash your clothes. What you do is put a dime (or a few) in your pockets. Then leave it in there and when you wash your clothes you'll say "Wow free change that I didn't know I had" and it'll make your day. Then you put that change in the clothes you're currently wearing. Then next week you'll have forgotten about that change, and when you wash those clothes you'll think you found some new change. Then continue the process. This will make laundry day not seem so bad since you're always finding free money. It helps best if you have short term memory and forget that you found that same change last week.

I originally planned this out with quarters, but Alex said that doesn't work out since you need quarters to wash your clothes.

I think I pulled this tip on myself accidentally. Then I finally remembered that I already found that change the week before and forgot to take it out of my pocket. But both times it was awesome.

How To Get Video Game Codes Outta Walmart. Or. Other Info.

Once upon a time when there was no internet. And. You couldn’t go to gamefaqs and stuff. You had to rely on Nintendo power. And. EGM. So like if you wanted a code you could casually walk in to the bookstore. Or. Wherever in a convenient store. Or. Supermarket. Then. Go to the magazine section. And. Start reading the info. If you had a good memory you could remember codes. Usually there was mnemonic device for the codes. Like. DULLARD. For. Mortal Kombat for Sega Genesis. So. You’d be all like. DULLARD. DULLARD. DULLARD. Then. You’d remember it. Down. Up. Left. Left. A. Right. Down. But. If it was a crazy code. You could have written it down. But. They get all weird about it. Because. They count it as stealing. But. There are probably ways to get that information out. Like. You’re probably thinking. I’m reading this. Why don’t I look it up on the internet? Because. What if it wasn’t a code? What if it was like a manual for fixing a station wagon?

If you had a bunch of people with you. You could remember segments of the info.

Or.

If you had a cell phone. You could call your friend up. And. He could write it down. But. You might have to be casual about it. According to Dayve. You could go. Hey what’s going DOWN. I looked UP your phone number before I LEFT. I LEFT A lot of stuff RIGHT by your dresser. RIGHT. That way you’re not just saying it out loud. But. Of course you’d be talking about fixing a millennium falcon.

Or.

You could casually read the article out loud over the phone.

Or.

Make a memo. On your phone.

Or.

With camera phones. You could probably do it too.

There are other ways. But. Now that I think about. You could probably check out the book if it’s that easily accessible. Oh wait. Unless its one of those crazy reference section books.
