Roger sick+no sleep+party with friends=cold. Enjoy your weekend; I will be nursing some hot chocolate with DayQuil and then will go and enjoy some fine and dandy Pismo Beach Fish and Chips. Then sleep and hopefully ready to go next week.
December 1, 2000I talked briefly last night with Matt about this, so I will mention it here. There are certainly a lot of people out there who you feel like you know, despite the fact you really don’t know them at all. I was thinking about this at Burger King yesterday. I guess BK is second only to the bathroom in terms of where I do my…
November 30, 2000Yesterday, a copy of Jarre’s 1979 Place de la Concorde concert arrived from Barry in the UK. This concert was one of the first videotapes ever produced in France and is extremely hard to come by. The concert itself was the first of his outdoor concerts (fully realized later in his career in Houston, Lyon, London, Paris, and Moscow). Now all I need to do…
November 29, 2000Last night a treat showed up in my mailbox: Jean Michel Jarre’s Oxygen in Moscow concert DVD. It’s my first Jarre DVD and hopefully they will be releasing more. Now if only he would do a concert in the US. Today is Kevin’s birthday. If you want to give him a gift, he’d love any of the following items from dodgers.com: Beanbag Chair Baseball Table…
November 28, 2000Oh, the joys about living in the LA Area. Last night I was driving home from Phoenix when I ran smack dab into the middle of a traffic jam on I-10 near Palm Springs. My guess it was the huge influx of people from the Coachella Valley going back to LA. Whatever the cause, it was still a bizarre sensation to be in bumper-to-bumper traffic…
November 27, 2000Last night’s entertainment was How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It was fun to see on the big screen, but I still prefer the animated short. Jim Carrey was the best part of the whole movie – which is saying a lot since I usually don’t go for the Ace Ventura stuff. Tomorrow I am off to Phoenix to spend some quality time with the family.…
November 22, 2000Man, domain moves are a pain. I spent a good chunk of my non-working hours today trying to move Concorde Travel Management to its new server. It’s not just the HTML folks, its all them CGI forms and E-mail accounts as well. Oy. I also had some dental work done today. It continually amazes me the advance in dental procedures that have taken place in…
November 21, 2000The majority of the weekend was spent watching the supplemental material on my Fantasia Anthology DVD. I really think that Classic Fantasia got the short end of the stick. It seems like they rushed to put it out with Fantasia 2000. The supplements for each section pale in comparison to those for Fantasia 2000. However, the presence of Walt Disney (via some old footage from…
November 20, 2000It is amazing what a turnaround that Jack-In-The-Box has done since the mid ’80’s horsemeat scandals. Ever since they got the new commercial campaign in the early ’90’s they have been on a roll. One of the most inspired things they have done was creating the Meaty Cheesy Boys last year. This fall, they re-launched the site for the 1.99 Ultimate Cheeseburger promotion. Just the…
November 17, 2000Network Time Wasters: Dack got a link in his Inbox from Andy Baio, a fan of the site AmIHotOrNot who was disappointed by the inability to get ratings and created: AmIHotOrNot broken down by subjects’ scores titled Are They Hot or Not. Simply staggering that people accuse me of having too much free time. In ClubJosh news, a mobile site is up and running, although…
