I will be in Garland, TX next week from Monday thru Friday (for work). Garland is near Dallas, so if anyone reading this lives out that-a-way please drop a line!

I just got an automated email from OLD MAN BODIE letting me know that my CIS account will be deactivated… I didn’t even realize it was still active, I mean, it’s only been 4 years… :)

Last night after work I had plans to meet up with Jon Whitney for dinner downtown, but that wasn’t until 6pm. I was planning on killing time at Newbury or something, but the sent an email asking for a ride home from work. She rode her bike to work in the rain and was soaked, and it was still pouring in the evening (actually, it’s still pouring now).. So instead of killing time at Newbury, I picked her up at Harvard and dropped her off at the apartment, still making it downtown right around 6pm. We ended up going to the Parish Cafe, which was fantastic (as always). I got the Steak & Blue sandwich, Jon got some steak dish… I was going to get a Jack & Coke, but I decided yesterday to boycott JD, and I don’t know a suitable replacement yet.

I finished downloading Seasons 1 and 2 of one of my favorite shows growing up: The Secret Life of Machines which was on Discovery for a while when i was in middle or high school… I have missed this show alot, and would buy a DVD set of the series in a heartbeat, but the Divx files I found are fairly high quality, digitized from VHS, and look good on my Divx DVD player. Nobody I’ve talked to in the past week or so seems to remember this show, am I the only one who watched it??? I also ordered Tim Hunkin’s new book, Hunkin’s Experiments, which should be an fun read..

I have been finding it harder and harder to find boxers with the “flat elastic” as opposed to the “bunchy elastic”… It seems that the only time I can find the flat elastic is on stupid-ass print boxers. Last night I tried to find some but gave up, and bought a pack of boxer briefs instead, as an experiment… I still think they look pansy, but whatever, I hate the bunchy elastic so much that if I can’t get boxers the way I want them I might have to change up. Briefs are out of the question, however.

Oh my god, Shaun of the Dead was badass, you should totally go see it!

Just kind of lazing around today… On thursday Audra came over with the DVD of Ginger Snaps Back, the passable prequel in the Ginger Snaps series of werewolf movies. The prequel was weak, but I think I liked it better than the second film. I made a Spinach, Parmesan, and Dill quiche that night that came out real good. I haven’t had Quiche in ages…

Yesterday, and I watched The Straight Story, which even though it was a Disney film was certainly directed by David Lynch… I really enjoyed it, even if it was a touch melodramatic at times. I spent most of today catching up on Poker on the Tivo and playing Mario Kart… I’ve unlocked a few more things, but I still suck pretty badly… I need to get better so doesn’t make so much fun of me next time.

Tomorrow is Shaun of the Dead with the SNFC. I have been looking forward to this movie for a long time, even if half of that time I had confused this movie with another…. :)

Since it didn’t seem like any more of my readers were interested in Gmail accounts, I donated them to the SpreadFirefox.com Gmail Giveaway. They are giving away thousands of free accounts, so if you are looking for an account head over there and get one!

I love Elvis Costello. On the back of his latest CD, right above the FBI warning, he says “This artist does not endorse the following warning. The F.B.I. doesn’t have his home phone number and he hopes that they don’t have yours.”
