Leaving for powell on thursday. Will be unreachable till sept 13th. An on opening weekend tooo….aaaahhhhhhh. Seeya when i get back..P.S. BB2 is getting goooood!
Friday - Dinner and Movie with Dave and Timmerie, Dinner: Outback Movie: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. This one had the quality and style of Mallrats and i liked it just as much.(3.8 out of 5) Bob does his best work of all his movies. Jay was Jay and had a little problem holding the movie. But not everyone can be Stiffler! (4:20)
Saturday – Woke up, packed up the PT and and headed to san diego for the Charger/Rams game. First stop La Mesa for Tarin’s (Deb’s Niece) Birthday. Then at 3:00, off to Jack Murphy Stadium. My Brother (ROV and Dog Catcher) already pulled his trailer into the stadium at 12:30. Deb,Tony,Kim and I showed up about 4:30. 4 Snapple Peach Iced Teas, 2 steaks and 20 ram high fives later…we were in the stadium. I had 8 tix total. 6 on the plaza, 2 on the field level. Deb and i went tot he Field Level first. 10 rows from the bottom, north side, at the 20 yard line. Good seats but a little low. Owned by Debs former boss. First string rams had there engines on idle for the first half. But DB rookie Archeletta looked great. (Todd Light, Toby Wright and JR Seau mixed together) cant wait for the season to start. The second half was a different story. Refs decieded to “forget the fair game” and lean the results toward san diego..all we could do is watch in horror. thank god no one was hurt. No calls on chop blocks (that sort of thing). One good thing about the second half was the return of Marshall Faulk’s backup-Trung Candidate, he looked real good too. The only fear left is keeping Warner healthy all year. Well anyway..we lost with a kick in overtime, We didnt get any razzing on the walk out, probably cause they realized that they truly lucked out on this one. Sat in the parking lot for 2 hours, talkin and eating Krispy Kremes. Then when to my mom’s house and snoozed.
Sunday - Woke up, met Mike and Dia for Breakfast, Fixed a couple family computers, and went to dave and Busters for dinner before we headed home. (Love that place)
Monday - DVD Planet was closing out all of their remaining laserdiscs so last week i ordered : Kuffs, The Nude Bomb, Death Becomes Her and Waynes World 2.(all for 1.99 a piece) They came in today. When i got home to try them out..the LD player was broken…ahhhhhhhh. After work went to Jacoby’s in Santa Monica to install a new E-machine (not a single glitch…i love when that happens) got home round 10pm
Tuesday - Brought the LD player in today..turns out it was just the Eject motor was jammed..cleaned it..and all was fine….whoo hooo. Jimmy and Betty came over for Dinner and a movie..Betty choose Muriels Wedding, and dinner was Rib-Eyes and Homemade Onion rings.
Gave up on the old one…and bought a used mate for our industrial dryer. Got it for $240 at the local used appliance place. Picked it up and installed it at lunch. First load went perfect.
At 5pm I ran down to Casenotes in Santa Monica to install a new Hard Drive. Went to HOOTERS first..got my usually ‘buffalo strips hot’..feel better already. They bought a Matrox (Quantum) 40G for 100 bucks. I installed the new drive as the Second IDE Master, And the BIOS wouldnt find the drive..it would just freeze on the screen. Pulled out the drive and put it in the “ALWAYS PERFECT” E-machine in the other room…worked fine. Went the the motherboard manufacturer and downloaded BIOS updates for the first machine…installed…and all worked well. Used MaxBlast to ghost the old 4 GIG to the 40 GIG. Rebooted with the 40…all is good. Got home about 9..watched South Park and BB2 on replay. Hit the Hay.

Wow..week late on this update
Last Weekend
Saw Captian Corelli’s Mandolin..AAAHHHHH.. Even the horriblly shot war scenes couldn’t keep this from being a bad chick flick. We had to get food halfway through just to stay awake. It was by john madden..who did Shakespeare in Love, which i liked (not as best picture). It may have been just me, but i saw no chemistry between cruz and cage. there was boobs..but all could have been cut out. Bale and Hurt did well…but not enough to save this move. At least English Patient had some great photography and great quirks..this was just bland (1 of 5)
Monday - Drove down at lunch to get a new belt for the washing machine (which broke last week). Got a call from deb that 7up wanted to take us to the Angels game. So i picked up deb, tina and Muffy after work and headed to the ballpark. They have a dugout suite behind home plate (next to disney’s) so you can see me on some of the highlights. Angeles were ripped in the first inning and never recovered..but the food was good.
Tuesday - got a call from Casenotes and Docume Entertainment..so I need to see them on Wed and Thursday night. Went to lunch with Deb and Denise (old boss) at chili’s. Had the worst buffalo wings in my life. and the waitress dropped them on me while taking the remainders away. Not a good lunch. I will have to goto Hooters 5 times just to cleanse my soul. Finnaly got home to work on the washer. After an hour of knocking my head i found another broken piece that i would have to tear down the entire machine to fix. Gave up…buying a new one tomorrow. Watched Daily Show and BB2 (damn that Bunky is a fag..and weak too…and Hardy is in full game mode..taking no prisioners.(4:20)
Site of the day: http://www.asontv.com/ (ordered an Easy Stitch)
Friday – Still stuffy but got through work with no problems. Jeff called, wanted to see American Pie 2 up in PV. So did DEB, so off we went. Laughed so hard that i started coughin’. Very much like the original with 6 or 7 scenes of pure hilarity. Came home..watched DML on Replay and hit the hay.
Saturday - Deb had a morning meeting with Sandy so i slept in. Had some wild fornication in the guest room when she got back…dont remember much after that. (4:20)
Sunday - Had to run to LA to work on Kathy Whooleys machine. Mostly just her palm pilot syncing was bad. reinstalled and got it fixed. Deb went to hang out with Timmerie by the pool. I went to Best Buy and bought Muriel’s Wedding and El Mariachi/Desparado DVD’s . Got home in time to watch the RAMS v. Bills. I’m not worried about the rams at all this season (but still no betting..except on other teams) DEB got home round 8, watched Muriel’s Wedding (Love that flick) went to bed.
Monday - Head starting to clear up. Ed Vincent fried his Sony laptop’s hard drive. bought a new one and dropped the unit off at my office to repair. FX series is great for changing hard drives…3 screws. Got home hit the treadmill for a mile and watched DESPARADO. Deb is starting to feel sick, cooked her up some therflu and went to bed (4:20)
WEDNESDAY – Cold still ragin’ went to work, finishing up the goldmine lit request procedures. Got a nasty call from Eric Jacoby (Client) about how all his machines were fine till i started working on them. Way to under the weather to deal with that right now. Haven’t called him back yet. Jeff, Laurie and the kids are dropping by (they were at Magic Mountain). let the ferrets run wild downstairs while they were there.Took some TheraFlu, watched Southpark and went to bed. (4:20)
Saturday - The BBQ at the park worked out well..25 people showed up.(deb,me,jeff,sandy,phil,jen,belly,kevin m,andy m,j9,rob,cam,travis,andy b,jennifer,tony,mike,chris,…etc).we played volleyball and Over The Line. Legs were sore till monday.
Saturday Night - Went back over to Docume Entertainment to solve the AMD motherboard situation. As it turns out..there was a virus on the D: drive that infected the windows install, and made it impossible to use the Office2000 installer Program. Ran Virus Scan, All was fixed. machine running like a champ. (4:20)
Sunday - Sleep…zzzzzzzzzz (4:20)
Monday - Felt a little itchy at work..sneezing alot. By that evening..Full Blown Cold!!!
Tuesday - Called in sick at 3AM ..TheraFLU apple-cinnimon made me survive the night. watched a few movies…dont remember what they were now. When deb came home watched Big Brother 2 on Replay..it was goooood..dukes were almost thrown. Deb had a Megarita (Her Own Design) both zonked out round 12pm.
Yesterday the usual CODE RED Scare warranted about 10 phone calls. Two of the people just had the SIRCAM virus. So i had them update Norton 2001 and sent them the fixer file. The Girls in the office have been hearing a clicking noise on the phone system. When the repair came out he thought the DSL modems and SONIWALL (sitting next to the switch) was causing the problem sooooooo.. i built a new shelf and but them there.
I.T. ROCKS!!!
Finished one more of the Casenotes.com conversions and posted it (6 more to go)
Went to Docume Enterntainment to fix Dan’s ailing computer..AGAIN
his PIII-600 was never the same after a lighting stike over a year ago. Well last week it gave up all together. But with only a 200 bucks a new machine was not to be had. ENTER ME!!!!!
Fry’s had a special SHUTTLE SLot A Motherboard and AMD Athlon 1G for 149.00….just a warning: DONT BUY THIS!!!!!
I havent been screwed by AMD or Fry’s in the past (never buy the stuff with the white return stickers on them) so i bought it blindly. To start with the board has a Fornt Side bus of 100mhz which means the Athlon can only run at 750Mhz..it’s even in the manual. (so why did frys put these 2 together?)
We put in PC133 memory but with a FSB of 100..those didnt work. luckly i had some spare PC100′s so i put those in. After 5 hours i got it running..but now for the weirdest thing yet: I get a MSIEXEC.EXE error whenever i try to install a Microsoft Autorun Product (Office/Publisher..etc). Since i got most of his programs working. I left about 10pm to go home.
I got an email this morning..that nothing else will install. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Today is a many splendored day. He he, Don Don and his bright ideas wants us to keep an online journal. Who the heck is gonna want to read it?
Anyway, I had an appointment with my shrink today. He doesn’t want to see me anymore because I’m too mellow, got no real issues, you know I’m boring. Man you have a couple of good weeks and your shrink dumps you! DO I HAVE TO BE STRESSED ALL THE TIME????!!??
Then I come to work, the phone’s ringing off the hook, everyone wants to talk to me, got zillions of emails, and one of them is the CODE RED VIRUS! Yep, Virus. Trying to warn my office, and our Corporate office, Don’s yahooing me on what to do to delete it, on the phone with a Rep, Muffi’s keeps running in telling me Charles needs some report or picture or God knows what for his meeting, yahoo keeps ringing cause Don’s curing my Virus …….. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH …………..
Oh yea, I’m totally cool, no anger management issues … I’m not exploding, oh no not me …….
