Waiting for Tuesday

Duncan Sheik’s new CD – Daylight is being released on Tuesday. Amazon sent me an email to let me know it was coming, I have no idea how they knew I would actually WANT that piece of information. I must have clicked on something, somewhere.

People Magazine gave it a rave review…said he was like John Mayer’s older brother. Now I have to skim my archives to figure out if I actually compared John Mayer and Duncan back when I first discovered John. Maybe the People Mag reviewer reads this blog? Naaaaah. I found it! Click halfway down.

Strangely, not that satisfying

I’m still doing the chat support thingy, and as I type my messages to the mysterious “Dean” I can’t help but think “Man, I thought chatting with guys online was supposed to be sexier than discussing firewalls and routers.”

Do you think I should ask him what he’s wearing?

(update: I just decided to turn this into a short article for the Daily Probe. I’ll let you know if it gets published.”

I Love Technology

I am using an online chat system to communicate with HP support (had a question about how to update my BIOS if I don’t have a floppy drive, because the downloadable file requires it. You know, typical head scratching time. It’s nice to be able to communicate real-time with tech support.

As Seen on TV

I’ve gotta tell you that Allen L. is the Dumper of the Day. Maybe of the week. He has done an amazing thing: Found me 4 places where I can buy Ginsu knives. I know you are chuckling to yourself thinking “Cheap commie bastard buying Ginsu knives when Amazon can speed you some Wüsthof Classic 10-Piece Knife Set with Block for a mere $369. Why, the Ginsu knife set of ten knives is only $2! Barbarians! Why not just tear your food apart with your hands?!”

Well, because the Ginsu knives are just the best I’ve ever used. In fact, my mother has been begging me to find her another set. They aren’t easy to find, but Allen, bless him, sent me lings to 4 sites, and then I found the $2 bargain (plus shipping) over at an amazon z-shop. If you want information on other sets, there’s a site called http://www.goginsu.com. I can’t vouch for their prices.
