Thursday Thirteen


Thirteen Things about Mikey





1…. Lets start easy since this is the first one. I'm 43 yrs old and hold two jobs: Substitute Teacher and Retail Slave.

2. I have a mortgage and no retirement fund.

3. I don't eat Beef, and have not for almost 20 years.

4. I love science fiction and fantasy.

5. I am a voracious reader

6. I really don't like 90% of what's on televion. It's mindless and mind numbing.

7. I prefer challenging music, art rock, acid jazz, Jam bands, but will in a tired pinch listen to chill and soft jazz.

8. I host not one, not two, not three but four different web sites, some of which are under better construction than others.

9. I am slow to anger, but if I do snap it's not pretty. On the other hand a half hour later and I'm calm, and I don't hold a grudge.

10. I consider myself Gen X. Even though I'm offically a boomer, I don't fit the mold and never will.

11. I question authority constantly.

12. I do not suffer fools gladly.

13. My idea of a great Sunday morning is Jazz, Brunch and the New York Times. Not that I ever get to enjoy those things.

Ok so what happened to daily postings? 1) I don't have something to say every day? (not likely if you know me). 2) I'm already bored with this blogging thing (not likely as my attention span is a bit better than that) NO it is 3) NO bloody time!!. More later today. Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia, (of the Grateful Dead)

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal. I started the night with a Coconut Martini, which was actually quite good as a starter drink. I had another at the dinner, but the sweetness was a bit much so I switched to regular dry Vodka Martini's. This was a mistake because five or so later.. well I was hungover the next day. In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Computer Tech Spent a good five hours today working with the new ED computers. The boss had finalized arrangements Friday for a new place for the new company so we are out of the old building finally. I really hated going in to the old building every day! Anyway the owner's sister (remember this is a NEW owner - not the much berated old owner of the old business) is a CIS person for a big corporation. They just upgraded their old computers so she was able to gift us with two Dell computers. One is sweet: 128 Mg Ram, decent size HD for business, PII chip and Windows 98se. The other was problematic however: it had 2000 professional in it so I had to reformat the HD with Windows 98se (so the two computers could network if needed). It only has 64 mg of Ram and it also has a PII. The problem was that the video card - not on the motherboard thank god - would not work in 32bit color with W98. Well I had an ATI Rage laying around that I bought for A's computer but could no...
