Train Delays

by

It seems like at least once a week this winter the LIRR has a major delay. I don’t remember it every being this bad before. I have been using the rail road on and off for 5 years and this winter is the worst.

Last night Jayson and I got stuck for almost 40 minutes due to a disabled train. When we did start moving we crawled the entire trip home because of train’s in front of us. The time does go by a bit faster if you do get a seat!!!

Once we got home, we decided to do a low key dinner. We went to my favorite pizza place. VI Pizza. Jayson hadn’t had good NYC pizza in a while.

Dave came by and picked jay up. He wanted to go see Dave’s family. I had some work I had to catch up on, so I stayed home. I still didn’t get to bed till midnight. The lack of sleep is quickly catching up on me. All in all it was a good day, even with the train confusion.

Boulder Creek

by

Jayson, Dave and I went to Boulder Creek last night. it is a place like the outback. We stuffed ourselves. Whenever Jayson and I get together we always eat way too much really good food that is really bad for you. So far this visit is just like always.

Afterwards we went to Circuit City looking for the Family Guy DVD box set volume 1. We couldn’t find it. I told dave to look at amazon for it. We also drooled at all the high definition TV’s. We had a good night.

Powerbook Is Back

by

I got my Powerbook back today from apple. not sure what they did to fix it, but it seems to close ok now. It is not as snug as my old powerbook when it closes but I am dealing with it.

The new 1GHZ 12″ Powerbook runs allot cooler than the other one I had. Other than that I cannot tell much difference from the old one. I haven’t done much intensive work on it yet so I cannot tell how much faster it is. The keyboard is still decent. It is a major improvement from my T-40 from work.

Now all I have to do is finish installing all my software on the powerbook. Of course that is an every changing task!!!

Halo

by

So I played Halo for the first time ever Sunday night. it was fun, but I can see myself loosing tons of time playing that game. It reminds me of all the time I played half life back in 99 – 2000. John, Jayson, David, Cindy, and some others played at John’s. he hooked up 2 xbox’s and we had 8 people playing. it was fun.

I got to see Cindy and Dave for the first time in like 2 years. it was good to catch up.
