There she goes, my beautiful world
…it’s time for a new watch.
I don’t mind paying a lot for things. In fact, I rather enjoy spending a lot of money to get what I want. In a situation where one gets what one pays for, one should not pinch pennies. Yes, many times you pay more and get the same crap, or a product that is worse crap, and at those times I don’t recommend throwing away money. But when it comes to getting quality at a … Read the rest

I had ordered the album “Somethin’ Else” by Art Blakely, Cannonball, Adderly, etc. I received an error message to the effect that the download had been interrupted and that I would get the remainder if I selected “check for purchased music” from the “advanced” menu. All of the songs are complete, except for the final song “Bangoon” which never appeared on my machine.

Wow. I just watched about a half hour of what appeared to be a cheaply-produced ad for a strip club on SF public access TV. Um. Yeah. It offended me so much I had to sit and watch the whole thing. LOL
Seriously, I’m not particularly offended, but I am surprised to turn on the public access channel and instead of seeing some preacher ranting about the Bush administration, see naked girls covering each other in whipped cream &c.

OK, sometimes I watch as much as three hours of TV in a week. Since antenna reception in San Francisco is so abysmal that it makes Northern Vermont look good, I shell out $16 per month for basic cable so that I can see the occasional show I want to watch.
But some marketing genius has pushed my buttons by re-making Battlestar Galactica, a series I have fond childhood memories of, in a SCI-FI Channel miniseries that starts on Monday. … Read the rest

I just peeked in to look at the menu of a restaurant near where I work. It had a number of items:
This: $18.00
That: $22.00
The Other: $30.00
and notably:
Lobster: $54.00
Which means I finally get the joke from Mystery Men:
We’ve got a blind date with Destinyand it looks like she’s ordered the lobster
Yeah, I’m pretty slow.… Read the rest
OK, it hit me like a flash as I rode the Hyde Street cablecar in to work this morning. My new fitness goal should be to do the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon.
It looks like even getting IN to the Escape from Alcatraz Tri is beyond my current capability, and they’re determining slots now. The event is in June and I’d have a lot of training to do in the meantime. So maybe my goal should be to do a … Read the rest
I just dumbbell curled 32 lbs in each hand. I’ve been able to do 8 and even 9 before, but this time I did 12. My brain exploded, and it’s a little inconvenient trying to type with my cerebellum hanging from the chandelier.
Maybe I need to listen to Judas Priest more often when I work out.… Read the rest
