Happy Thanksgiving
Thursday, November 27, 2008

I hope that everyone is as stuffed as I am this Thanksgiving day. If not, I recommend crashing someone's dinner and scoring some turkey.

This year, my family did the whole traditional/classic Thanksgiving dinner. We had roast turkey, cornbread stuffing, yams, beets, cranberry sauce, green beans, mash potatoes and gravy. I wish I had the foresight to take a picture of the whole thing. It was truly a beautiful sight.

I'm at Books-A-Million right now trying to keep from dying of boredom. I'm using the free wi-fi that you get if you join their Millionaire's Club to surf the web for a bit and post this blog. Also, I really wanted to check on online order for a Sony Mylo COM-2 that placed yesterday at the Sony web site. It didn't look like it shipped out yesterday, so I'm hoping it goes out tomorrow or Monday.

Well, I think that's all I have for everyone. I'll post again soon.

Loitering at the Bookstore: Episode 768
Saturday, May 10, 2008

So, here I am again at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore. I come here so often that this place almost feels like an extension of my home. It's like my personal library.

Before I caved in to opening up my laptop, I did managed to read a couple of computer magazines and part of the first chapter of some sci-fi book that I decided was horrible and therefore didn't warrant mentioning by name.

Frank Sinatra is playing on the Muzak system. I guess they're pushing his songs since he's getting a postage stamp. I think his music is lost and severely underappreciated by the young crowd doing homework in the store's cafe.

As for me, I'm just chilling out. I'll probably hit the comic book /graphic novels section in a little while and see if there's anything new. I'll probably hit the SF section again and see if I can rectify my poor choice from before. Maybe there's a new Orson Scott Card book I can page through.

Today has been exausting. Despite my efforts to not fix anymore computers, I got a call from someone begging me to fix their machine. I guess I'm just too good of a person because I used up most of what was supposed to be my free day working on their pc.

Hmm. My laptop's battery meter is bleeping at me. Looks like my battery is going out. Let me finish by saying that I am tired. I hope that tomorrow I can be less productive or at the very least be away from computers. I intend to do one thing productive and that is my laundry.

BTW. Don't forget to wish your mom a happy mother's day!!!

Feeding the Addiction
Monday, May 05, 2008

I just found out that if you subscribe to the Ultra Level (or higher) of the AT&T's Fast Access DSL, you can get free WiFi Basic service at different places around town.

Now I can use my laptop and connect to the WiFi at Starbucks and Barnes & Noble for free making my Internet addiction even more incorrigible.

You'll probably see this monkey at the Barnes & Noble at lot more because of this.

Just try not to ask me stupid computer questions while I'm updating my Facebook or Twitter page.
