Well, I finally did it. After months of research and searching and being pestered by auto salesman, I am the proud driver of a Silver 2002 Honda CR-V LX. It took over six total hours over two days at a car dealership in Fontana (where is Fontana? way out in the inland empire about halfway to Palm Springs from LA) to get the deed done.…
May 21, 20023am – Just back from the screening. Star Wars Episode 2: AOTC really clipped on by and you really don’t notice that it is 2hrs and 20 min. Overall, I’d give it a good solid 3 stars, much better than Phantom Menace and Empire. I did notice some flaws with the processing or the print of the movie. Early on in the film, there were…
May 16, 2002I have noticed that I have been more frustrated than usual. I think it is the end of Spring booboojeebies that I seem to get every year. Last year, it sent me off to French Polynesia, and if I had the time and money, I’d probably be off somewhere again in the next month or so. By this time last year, I had already been…
May 14, 2002It’s official! Lev, Andy, Oszie, and I will be partaking in a midnight viewing of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones next Wed./Early Thurs. I am eagerly counting down the days. In case you didn’t know, yes, I am a dork. There are not too many movies that I will go see at a midnight showing, but Star Wars movies definitely are worth…
May 9, 2002Yesterday was Le Grand Excursion to Disneyland with my Jerri, Granny, Dianne, and Amanda. A great time was had by all. The photo on the left is of Granny and I on the deck of the Mark Twain. I always enjoy going to DL with people who are not regulars to the park. It gives me a chance to play tour guide as well as…
May 8, 2002The car saga continues….It will happen this month, just not sure when. I am still shopping around, plus there are a few contacts up the sleeve that might get me a better deal. Plus, the longer I wait, I am sure the less markup and competition for the car there will be. The only drawback is that I want to reduce my expenses ASAP, but…
May 6, 2002Try as I did, I was thwarted last night from seeing Spider-Man with Roger, Alex, Michael and Ian. We managed to get out of bed this morning to go see the movie at 10am (well all but Ian since he went with some friends last night to try and see it at Downtown Disney – I’ll have to check and see if he was able…
May 4, 2002Well I never did make it over to Internet World. Haim gave me the scoop, and I ran out of time to get over to the convention center. I have been out-of-sorts since Friday. I hate working at two different jobs in one day. It feels like two full days on one nights sleep. Going out on Saturday night didn’t help. Well, it did help…
May 1, 2002It seems that I saw Charo just in time at the Venetian. Her show closed on April 16. I just happened to find out what happened by doing my usual Google search for Charo. One of the Las Vegas Ticket sites list her as performing at the Sahara Hotel and Casino. One quick phone call to a rather sleepy operator at the Sahara confirmed the…
April 25, 2002I was thisclose to having a new vehicle yesterday, but alas the gods at the Honda dealership were not kind. It is looking more and more like I will end up in a Civic instead of the CRV that I want. I almost had a good deal, but they kept trying to up sell me into the EX which had a bunch of extra dealer…
