Kissing


.
I live next to a small park, and my bedroom lets me see what's going. Nothing about that, there's a young couple kissing almost every day. And the spot is basically in my backyard. It's Hey, share will ya?

Chilis


Went to Chili's for lunch. Before we entered, a young kid barfed, and the waitress cut $10 out the bill. Nice....

Washer & Dryer


My wife parents have been without their washer for months if not years. So when I knew that there machine was broken, my wife and I decided to buy a washer. The machine was in a closet- it was small and compact. On Friday (7-4), we bought a GE from Home-Depot. Then, my parents-in-laws found a in-expensive model from Kenmore. I canceled the Home Depot one and bought the Sears machine, or I thought. Today sears came early, and the machine was set, but the Home Depot never refunded me (a week later!) so we went to see why we hadn't see the refund. My parent-in-laws called when we were talking to Home Depot rep, and there was a second machine! I was mad, but my wife was on it- Seems that the delivery people never 'canceled', but the GE and home depot computers said it was canceled. ARG!!!

A Geeks Desk


My Desk. And it's pretty clean now, except that there's four computers underneath and a printer. The oldest stuff is in the garage. The oldest is a 1200 baud modem, a CD player, and an ISDN modem. Ouch. And there is more. It's funny that I never sold them...

Ni Hao!

My Chinese sucks. Seriously. But I try to speak when I've got a chance. My son hates me to speak Chinese, as he can speak with out the tone problems. I read some pinyin books, just to learn new vocabulary. And I listen to ChinesePOD (no account though). But I'm slow, and I'm not putting money in a service yet...

Dirty, dirty,dirty


My house isn't clean. Ever. So I've got a maid. Well, a iRobot. It's slow but it works! The cat thinks it a big mouse. I've told the kids to keep things off the carpet. It's better than me vacuuming!
