I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves
Like we were yesterday?
New Order, "Bizarre Love Triangle"
---
Ordered my Alton Brown DVD pack, and I finally found out that one of my favorite shows,
Thirsty Traveler, is alive and well on Food Network Canada and Fine Living here in America. Now unfortunately, my cable provider is doing a great job of NOT providing me with either.
I would get DirecTV or something like that, but I figure that first I should try and handle all of my current legal issues. The thing about toys is that, when your a grown-up, they stay there no matter how old you get. I walked around the mall and saw that Kay-Bee was closing (among other stores, like Bachrach, as you may recall). The difference now is that adult diversions seem to get better with age. So I'll be holding off on my Loewe Articos, my project car (
to be named Betti: this time she's not the demure classy sedan of old; she's going to be trashy, or as Heather would put it, "racy"), my hot tub, my 1U server in a datacenter in Fremont, or the vineyard in New Zealand.
I wanted to wish a Happy St. Patrick's Day to all. I hope you all got in touch with your Irish roots and had cabbage and corned beef and Guinness and what not. Or at the very least, wore green. Me, I draped my green down thrown around my shoulders and wore it like a cape around the office. I didn't want to look like a moron for not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day.
Because Alton Brown is doing a good job making it onto DVD, I'm focusing my DVD-burning capabilities toward shows that have no business whatsoever on DVD: lame shows on the Travel Channel that get more obsolete with time, but seem to interest me nonetheless. At some point, I'll tire of this sport and move onto a more difficult game, but in the meantime, this will have to do.
