Worked on my projector last night. Here are some photos.

It doesn't look like much but it's harder to make one of these than it looks.

Check it out!

Note to self:

When a woman of strong Christian faith is telling you how to take care of yourself when you have the flu.

Don't say: "Oh yeah- I've been drinking OJ like a mofo."

Been sick for the past couple of days. It sucks. My eyeballs feel bigger and my head hurts like crazy. My nose is running and my throat is sore, as is my whole body.

On a cooler note... a company found out how to turn just about anything that contains carbon into oil. Can you say "Mr. Fusion" from Back to the Future?

Check out this article.

Neat huh?

I'm sick.

It sucks.

I made a silly decision recently. My laptop was starting to crash a few weeks ago and it got to the point where it wouldn't load up anymore. Naturally, I
thought it was pretty much trashed so I went online and bought another one (same model, ibm t23) since I figured the parts would be interchangeable. Well, as
I was fiddling with the laptops, I realized that the hard drive from the old one wouldn't boot in the new one and the new hard drive was booting up fine in the
old laptop. So essentially- I just bought a brand new laptop when all I really needed was a hard drive.

IBM T23 anyone?

It's 2:45am. I have work in 5 hours.

I'm crazy.

It's 1am and my neighbor is talking very loudly on the phone outside of his house in the backyard.

House number 2 is definitely going to have more space between myself and my neighbors.

As always, technology gets cheaper and cheaper.

Interesting weekend...

Friday: played poker and went all in on the second hand... uhhhhh- that was a quick game!

Saturday: Went to get my oil changed at Camelback Toyota. I was checking out the new cars while my car was being serviced and everything was cool until some dipshit salesman comes up to me and interrupts me while I'm on the phone and asks if I was looking for him. He said he advertises in the Chinese newspapers which is why he was wondering if I needed his assistance.

So I said to him:

"So you're only asking me since I'm Chinese? Not only that- but you're interrupting me on the phone. Don't you think that if I were looking for someone, I would be in the building as opposed to wandering around in the lot full of cars?"

He was speechless. I complained to management but eh- they're all a bunch of dipshit car salesmen.

The day got better since I went to lunch with my brother and George at Pho (a Vietnamese noodle shop) and then we had Boba at Eba Cafe. Then I went to Zach's store where he helped me polish my watch to bring some bling back to it and then I had a wild idea... how about - let's polish my poly-carbonate glasses lenses!! Yeah- bad idea. After having my lenses under the polishing wheel for a bit, the glare and UV protection coating was totally polished off. We went ahead and did both lenses and now those coatings are off the lenses BUT - so are all the minute scratches!! YAAAAAAAAAAY.

Dinner followed the crazy 'let's use shop tools for unorthodox purposes' experiment and we headed to Bostons to eat with Tim. There Zach showed Tim and I something about FedEx.



Have you ever noticed the arrow between the "E" and the "x"??

Yeah- neither did I. Neat!

So Sunday came around and I helped out the 'rents at the old house to do some yardwork. Went to work for a few hours after that to check out the Superbowl game and then went visit my parents for a bit. Usually I pass out on their couch and this time was no exception.

After waking up, I went home, changed, and went to the gym to work out at 11pm. Ahh, the single life has no boundaries.

I was bored...





Today's agenda: Treat mom/dad to VIP tickets to the Bird's Nest at the FBR Open. Oil change for the car above. Go see Zach at the store.

Wooooo.

So you wanna advertise for tires huh? This is the last place I'd look:



Full story here.

I bet I could advertise for slicks. For those of you who aren't familiar with the automotive world's nomenclature, slicks are the tires treadless tires that are used on Formula 1 cars. Great for dry high-speed driving, not so popular in the rain though as they offer little traction and tend to hydroplane.

I've always heard great things about the Costco salad trays. My mom raves about them, this gal at the store raved about them, some people here at work have had them... so I decided to try it out.

Lunch: 1.96 pounds of salad and croutons
Dressing: Ceasar



I WIN!

Within 20 minutes of finishing... I think my stomach is wondering why I sent it a huge salad to digest...


oof.
