I was very excited to discover that the cable channel Trio is running classic 1970’s episodes of Battle of the Network Stars. Since way before I had a website or even before I went to high school, I used to love these shows. I think partially due to the fact I used to imitate Howard Cosell (who didn’t). Like most things, nostalgia is stronger than…
July 23, 2003It’s been a busy week! Kicking it off was last Thursday’s outing with Granny and Jerri to the Queen Mary in Long Beach. I have been wanting to go for one reason or another but mainly because scenes from the classic disaster flick “The Poseidon Adventure” were filmed aboard. It was cool being aboard, but truth be told, the ship needs some work. I noticed…
July 21, 2003I have always liked Beef Ravioli, and lately it has replaced mostaccioli as my favorite pasta. They are serving some good Raviolis at the Disney cafeteria lately and it’s cheap. Add to that the good pasta sauce from Redd Rocket’s Pizza Port, and you have a classic in the making. It’s been awhile since I’ve cooked pasta at the house, mainly because I get it…
July 15, 2003I have held out for a long time. I think I even liked the shock value when I would tell people, “Yeah, I still have one of those”. But no more. Not after last night. I decided to watch Lost Highway with Daniel. It is one of the few movies that I own on Laser that has not come out in one form or another…
July 13, 2003I finally got around to installing my scanner which I bought almost a full year ago, but never unpacked it until today. It’s actually a nice Epson Perfection 2400 Photo that I picked up at Costco. I was motivated by a stack of old photos my grandmother gave me as she was going through some old boxes. So I fired it up and am impressed…
July 9, 2003Fourth of July was a bit kick back. For the first time in ages, I wasn’t working and didn’t have plans for the gala celebration, so I sat at home and listened to the fireworks setting off all the car alarms. I did manage to catch some of the fireworks on TV, but after a long day in the sun, I was content to sit…
July 7, 2003I really hate clothes shopping. Well, I actually like the shopping part, but I rarely find something that I actually want, and when I do, I usually get two or three of the same thing to save me from doing more shopping. Today, I picked up a couple of shirts at Old Navy. One of them, I had been eyeballing the last few times I…
July 3, 2003Last Saturday when I composed my last entry, it didn’t even occur to me what the actual date was. It might have had something to do with the fever or even the fact that I hadn’t really worn a watch in almost a week or if I did, I wasn’t looking at the date, only the second hand and how slow medication was taking to…
June 30, 2003It’s the second most common ailment in the US behind the common cold. That’s what the doctors said I have. Basically, its an intestinal flu, but not related to influenza. This bug is easy to catch, and I guess mine was made worse by getting dehydrated. So I arrive at the ER around 1pm on Friday at Foothill Presbyterian, and thankfully am escorted into the…
June 28, 2003It’s been a long time since I have been this sick this long (Europe 1998 comes to mind). This morning I was treated to 5 trips to the porcelain god. I finally decided it was high time to call in the family. My step-mom is coming to get me and then take me to the doctor. I’m going to have her take me up by…
