Food and Froth this weekend!

Food and Froth this weekend! I can't believe I forgot about this fun event! Anyone going?

Gadgets for those that like the latest thing: THEE Jacket, the new VOIP phone, and a new type of watch.

Cool movie coming out soon. Saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (#4) this last Tuesday. Definitely not what I expected. I will have to go see it again to catch everything that was presented.

Well have Loves for I shall see you around town. :)

Really cold Winter arrived!!

The last couple of days have been nothing but winter temps and climate. Thursday it did the rain, snow/rain, thunder snow mix most of the day. That evening it then turned to cold. Today took yesterday's cold and turned it to freezing cold temps. Have I mentioned I great it is not to leave the house in these temps?! No? Well let me tell you how cool it's been.

I've been able to take my time doing anything I want. I get my back cracked twice a week, take naps-like today-when I want, watch whatever I want when I want to, surf the net, read email, chat a bit with friends and read a ton of mag articles.

Most of what I've been watching the Olympics and old movies. I just have to say that the US athletes, in various areas of competition, are being a little to arrogant. It's not like they have the Gold medal already around their neck or the race is a shoe-in so I think the athletes need to remember that anyone can win the race. Some athletes are humble, realize they are good and it's a race until the very end. Just my opinion.

On budget Movie Tuesday, I finally saw Narnia. That is very much like the book and the anime I watched when I was little. The only thing that I was hoping to be like the anime was the Aslan/table cracking scene. I just wasn't feeling the sadness that should have been projected from the actors. Otherwise it was a really great film.

Couple of films that are on the way, if you didn't see the promos -
Miami Vice. Yes they have turned the legendary TV show into a movie. Good news - Don Johnson is not reprising his role as Crockett.
UltraViolet is also coming (picture above). Seems like an interesting version of Blade.
Sequel to Ice Age will be available this year as well. I think it will be adorable like the first one. Everyone is coming back to their original roles and there will be new characters too. Leno, Seann William Scott and Queen Latifah should help the pack make more laughs.

Next Friday is a night at Planet. My friend Jen will be celebrating her birthday. She says she'll be working but I know better. We'll also be getting there a bit earlier to have a drink or two before the crowd kicks in with all their fun and energy. So if there is nothing on the tube or going on, stop on over for some giggles.

What is your favorite late night show? Letterman? Leno? Craig Ferguson?

less than a week post

Well I found/read about this great product. It's called the Sony Reader. I think it would be really cool to have a little reader around that contains several books with the ability to download other books. Very ipod like.

Other than that, doing nothing much.

Have fun ya'll!

Snow?!

Yes that's right, it's actually snowing in southeastern Wisconsin. It's just a dusting right now but they are predicting some inches for the weekend. Kewl! Of course I'm not a big friend of the cold temps but heck, I think it will be warmer today than it has been in the last few days.

Other news:
* Still enjoying the time off. Kinda busy this week w/ chiropratic crackings, lunches with friends, haircut, fun at a friends fixed up house, and of course Movie day is always great. :D
* Received a phone call from my old place of hell. Looks like one of the IBM loaner laptops is MIA. Odd they call me to find out where it might be. What? They don't know? I'm supposed to know where it has traveled in a month? I was civil but short on the phone. Lead couldn't call me so he had HR call me. Still a chicksh$t!
* Babies got their haircut recently and man they have been all over me like fleas. They are just so excited that I'm home almost all the time.

Future calendar notes:
Olympic watching in the next two weeks, lunch with some friends on Monday along with another chiro appt., 24th is Planet. Jen's birthday so I'll be pretty much working while she's out and about drinkin and dancing, more movie days - especially on budget Tuesdays, and just more fun.

It's a rainy Winter

It's a bit rainy right now and it really has been a rainy Winter.

Well the important posting news is that George Carlin is coming to IL. Just wondered if someone wanted to go. The first date is March 10th (Friday) the second is, March 11th (Saturday). Saturday's date is currently available and Friday's is not available until this coming Monday.

Went out last night. Started at Potawatomi around 3p. Spent 20 bucks in now time on nickel or quarter slots. Met up with my friend Patty who was doing well on the Wheel of Fortune machine. Good thing we didn't stay there for too long. We had a few drinks before we left there.

Headed over to Holihans for a bit of dinner and to met others. There weren't many others meeting us but we had a good time anyway. The 5oz top sirlon there is not bad there and Patty had the salmon Caesar salad. I had that before and know it's really good salmon.

Had a few more drinks/martinis there before she left to let out her puppy. Phinus had joined us after we ate so there was much chatting and laughing. For some reason Holihan's was out of Captains so we headed off to another bar.

Hit Lynch's for a few drinks and sms chat with a cat that said he would join us. He was in a hood that a single white girl should not be. Well we did that until the cat's battery was almost dead. Finished up at Steny's before driving Geo home.

Gosh, I'm so not used to staying out late on a Thursday. Well tonight, I'll be hitting Planet since I didn't last week. I know some folks working this missed me.

Tomorrow night is Pizza Man for Jen's Kidney anniversary celebration. I also will be making some brownies for a super bowl party that I will be attending Sunday in the Racine area.

Billy Idol Matt was at Planet last night - Happy belated B-day!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
