Went to lunch with Maria, we went to China Buffet. Which is recently much improved, today the food was great, all except the meatballs. We got the buffet and hot tea, Maria said it was very good. I wish some of my other friends also liked Chinese. Maria is going to Peru, taking her kids to show them the old country. She will be turning 56 soon. we also talked about her retirement, she is not sure when she wants to retire. She has signed up for the retirement seminar that the state is offering.

Dee and I went out to dinner at Red Lobster in Round Rock on Sunday, Dee said it was our valentine's day treat. Hey I know it's not Valentines yet. It was ok, service sucked. Did not play any D2, just was not in the mood to put up with Blizzards lag.

Pokie

It's late, I can't sleep, thinking of playing some d2. My cat, Pokie, came and snuggled up to me while I was watching Stargate.

I wish I could get the client side server to work.

I am new to blogger, I had heard about weblogs for awhile but they did not really impinge on my consiousness, so I am currently trying to put together a mental blogger history for myself. This is something Matt put out. It's not enough to put the whole story together for me, but it's a good, heartfelt read.

I love sushi, when I was in Dallas I found a couple of good Sushi places, my favorite had all you eat for $19.95. The food was good too, then sushi is hard to find in Austin. The few places that have it only have limited varieties. It's too bad none of my friends like it. I always end up eating sushi alone.

Oh what brought this up was a web site I came across. The Art of Sushi, I had never really thought of sushi as art before.

Tammy emailed me and let me know that she did have the book in paperback.

Went to the Borders bookstore last night, picked up Astronomy magazine and Scientific American's Astronomy Book. I almost got a new blank book as well, they have one that is at a very good price, but I still have some I have not used yet. I also noticed that Black and Blue had been remaindered, this was a book my friend Tammy was interested in so I called her to see if she still wanted it, got her voice mail. When I got home I read the magazine, it had a good review of two mid size refractors. The smaller Tel Vue 101 is of higher quality than the larger Orion 120, but it is also over twice the price. I am still saving for a refractor I want at least a 6".
After reading Astronomy I played a little Diablo 2. Tried to use double swing and frenzy rather than a single sword and sheild. Looks like I can't effectivly use double swing yet. I think I need to have much better armor, a higher attack rating and faster more powerful swords before I can be effective. On the other hand a good sheild seems to really help alot.
I got really sick last night, I took a long hot shower and it seemed to help. Dee is still sick, she is staying home today.

Something is wrong with my blog. I am hoping that adding a new entry will take care of it.

It did.

Bots

I am not sure it qualifies as a "bot" but the Autopilot will bounce you around the web without any action from you.

Looks like Chrissy and Joe will be getting married.

Check out Kim Justice's MP3 page.

Talk about a police state! This really sucks"Kent State University police raided a dorm room in Verder Hall Thursday over what they suspect was a possible computer crime,... confiscate computer." It's just a game get a clue.

And here is a strip that really gets to the heart of my relationship with women.

Here is an article about how Uranium Helps Astronomers Zero In On Age Of Universe.

Oh well the homepage referred to in the post below has died. Crosswinds stopped supporting their free users. (Edited 4/46/03)

My Homepage needs alot of work. Actually I need to completely redesign it. But it is just for me to help me keep track of the things I am interested in.

Went to a funneral yesterday, sad, the coffin was only about 10 inches long.

Tammy emailed me today, she wanted the Texas Lotto web page: Lotto, I also gave her latest results
16 - 30 - 22 - 40 - 37 - 15 for 2/7/01

Dee is very sick today, but she is still going to work. I tried to convice her to stay home, but she insisted on going. I feel much better, but still not 100%, still I am going to workout tonight. It's been about 6 weeks since I worked out I just know it's going to hurt. But I can tell from the way I feel that I need to. I currently weigh 260, I would like to get that down to 200.

Ginger, Ginger everywhere.

Got a new book on Perl, I am at Getting started with Perl. Has an intro to general programing concepts. Covers Perl version 5.6.

The web is a funny thing, although lately I have been annoyed, dissapointed, even somewhat saddened by it's commercialization you still find things that make it worthwhile.
