Slotsa Love!

Sunday, May 25th, 2003

Hey, guess what? I just won 2700 dollars!
I think it’s time for bed now.
P.S. Blue Man Group was the best show ever, period, bar none, so go see it now now now because it’s mindblowing and hilarious and rockin’.

A year by any other name…

Friday, May 23rd, 2003

The old birthday meter clicked over to 33 today. I got the traditional singing telephone message from my brother this morning, which is always amusing. I like to save it and listen to it a couple of times.
Yesterday, after another stop at In’N’Out Burger, we drove out to Rachel, NV, home [...]

Touchdown

Tuesday, May 20th, 2003

Here we are in Las Vegas at our suite in the Treasure Island - 950 square feet of decadence for $170/night. We just walked the couple of miles down to the Luxor (for a map of the strip, click here because when we were there a couple of years ago we won hundreds of [...]

Adios

Monday, May 19th, 2003

We’re flying to Las Vegas tomorrow and both of us are terrified. I think it’s the fact that we’re at the mercy of the pilot, rather that captains of our own destiny. I’m excited about the vacation, but not the trip there or back. I used to love to fly, but now [...]

Doubts

Sunday, May 18th, 2003

I’ve been hestiant to say this out loud, but ever since I started reading Salam Pax’s blog, my internal bullshit meter kept dipping into the red. I’ve seen too many elaborate hoaxes in my 10 years on the internet, not the least of which was the Kaycee Nicole debacle.
Recently several blogs have [...]

CompUSAsshole

Friday, May 16th, 2003

Hub and I got laptops at CompUSA on Valentine’s Day this year. We bought $600 worth of extended warranties on the urging of the sales droid, who told us that if anything at all were to happen to the laptop or the screen, we could just bring it in and they would replace it [...]

Featureprice in the news again

Friday, May 16th, 2003

Today was the Featureprice Rally day - the day when all those who were scammed by Featureprice got together to email several dozen media email addresses. One person had this to say about the response:
“I asked how many e-mails they have gotten already, and they said they have gotten thousands already with others still [...]

Quilt

Wednesday, May 14th, 2003

I finally finished the quilt for my nephew. It took me about 5 hours to clip into all the seams to create the fringe. There is thread all over the living room! My poor thumb is numb and bruised from the scissors. Tomorrow I’m going to take it to the coin [...]

Weekend blues

Sunday, May 11th, 2003

Ever have one of those weekends where nothing goes the way it’s supposed to?
Yeah, me too.

Grouchy

Friday, May 9th, 2003

I have to rush to type this before the foul piece of excrement that’s known as Internet Explorer crashes for the 87th time this hour.
I feel like shit and I’m grouchy. Mexican farmers light fires every year and cause this hellish haze to settle over Texas. Right now it’s so bad outside that [...]
