Getting ready for spring

Posted in Uncategorized at 2:20 am by jrhitterman

The weather is getting nice here in Chicago and that means that it is time to get ready for spring. I have started this by building a gazebo in the backyard and buying new lights and furniture as well. During the days of nice weather I want to have a lot of BBQ’s and gatherings with friends and family outside so we can all enjoy this nice weather. I want this to be a wonderful and fun spring and summer too. I am also hard at work on my training in video editing. I don’t have that many long days a my job but enough to keep me busy. Hopefully I can move on up in my job and get myself a career soon. There are a lot of video games that I really need to get back on track with, some I haven’t even started and some I just need to finish. So it looks like I will be spending a lot of time on Xbox Live. And thanks to Netflix I am still getting good use out of my HD-DVD player since they are still letting me rent HD-DVD movies from there, but not for that much longer though. Don’t know if I will be investing anymore money in the whole high definition movie thing anytime soon. So I will just have to settle with playing DVD’s on my computer, which does a great job of upscaling them for me anyways.

Need my car

Posted in Uncategorized at 6:21 pm by jrhitterman


Last Wednesday my and my friends went out to eat right before we where going to start our game night and while on the road I hit a huge pothole. At the time there where already 2 other cars pulled over to the side changing their tires because of the same pothole and we joined the line and made number 3. This happened just a couple of blocks away from Just Tires, which apparently had about 10 customers that day that came in because of that pothole. So my rims of my car actually got bent and I need new rims. So Just Tires was going to get the rims from their warehouse on Monday. But they didn’t send them out Monday and now I should be getting them today which is Wednesday. I have been taking my mom’s car to work for the past 5 days, which is great but I still want my car back. So hopefully I will be getting it back today and then it is off to make a report to the city and have them pay me back (that should be fun). But for now I am on foot to all the local places, which is good because I could use the exercise.
