Speaking of Robert Burns. He had this quote: “Suspense is worse than disappointment.” I think he is right, but it doesn’t make it feel any better. Also on Nip/Tuck, this guy had a quote, I thought was particular incisive. “You try making someone do something they don’t want to do. It’s like feeding them a…
I am flip-flopping. I tried to install the 64-bit version of Vista. No dice. Too many drivers missing and it wouldn’t support dual CPU. Overall it was acting too slow. And I have 4G of ram! So now my choice is 32-bit version of Vista and I can install the beta of WinFS. OR I…
O would some Power the gift to give us To see ourselves as others see us! It would from many a blunder free us, And foolish notion: What airs in dress and gait would leave us, And even devotion! I have used this in my blog before. I wonder if there are rules are being…
I am so tired. Seriously, I feel like a sticky film is over my whole body. Like Plastic wrap clinging to my face. I need sleep. Too much to do. Not enough time. Meanwhile, the Jets better win this week otherwise I am going to open up a can of whoopass. So tired.
I was flipping channels on TV and hit a station where a guy asked the crowd, What is the most beautiful thing ever built by man? I think it is a great and probing question. Easy to come up with some cool things, but what is the one, the most superlative, the most beautiful? A…
I played pool last night for the first time since I moved to California. The funny thing is that I am not in California, I am in Texas. Anyway, I started off playing TERRIBLE. Slowly my shots started to come back. It was the worst I have played in 15 years, but it could’ve been…
For everyone who thought the Bush administration took too long regarding Hurricane Katrina, I say, They went very fast! Look how quickly they tried to make money for their buddies! Honestly, this is sickening, but I am not surprised at all. Dickhead Cheney was down there this week to close the deal. Booooo. Jets play…
I was watching the US Open last night in HD. Andre Agassi versus James Blake. Great match. Agassi was down 2 sets to 0 and down a break in the third set. He won 4 games in a row and came back to tie it up 2-2 sets. Exciting night tennis. Have to love it.…
Excel is my favorite program, but it misses one critical feature that Microsoft Project has. Outlining. The best and possibly ONLY good thing about Project is Outlining. Is there a plugin for Excel to allow Outlining? Other note. My brother’s blog is getting spammed. Comments by morons with marketing gimicks. I find it pretty funny.…
Not bad. We accomplished much on our list. The new tank is set up, and we didn’t even have to buy a new piece of furniture. I didn’t get a chair yet, but we cleaned up alot. Overall, good weekend productivity. In other news: Chief Justice Rehnquist died over the weekend. John Roberts is nominated…
Stuff I want to accomplish: Set up Quicken 2005. Apparently, Citibank uses a different ID/Pin for Quicken than it does for MS Money. So this will be a slow process. Clean the house. It gets so disorganized so quickly. We need to dump alot of stuff at Goodwill like the crib and the blue car…
Unleaded gas is now above $3 a gallon. Exxon Mobil is making unprecedented profits. In the past 2 years Exxon Mobile stock has gone from $31 to $58 per share with 12 dividends ($0.27 per share each time) during that period. Not bad. It seems logical. When the country is suffering from high gas prices,…
We went to see Stanford yesterday and had a nice time. As we were going back to the car I realized my car keys were missing. After my heart started again, we decided the kids (Abigail, Matthew, Jared, and Gramma Susu) would stay with the car in a shady area and Bapu and I would…
This weekend, we went to the Sequoia National Park and saw Giant Sequoia trees, which are the worlds largest trees by volume. The largest one we saw was the General Grant Tree, which is the worlds 3rd largest Tree. We didn’t have enough time to visit the General Sherman Tree, world’s largest. We walked through…
