Stop! – Rumor Time

The Apple rumor mill is abuzz. Today’s fav…new Apple Displays. They mirror the look of the G5. I hope this rumor is true, because they look sweet.

This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend. That means that I will be chilling at the house in PJ’s, playing video games.

The house will be empty. Jon in Vegas; Toby in the white water rapids; Brian in Hawaii (with Kelly, so no Kelly), and Eugenus chilling with me at the house. I will be working in Burbank on Monday, but other than that, my weekend is wide open. Rip CD’s, Rip. I think I will take some CD’s to MobyDisc or someplace else that buys used CD’s. If you are interested in buying any of my used CD’s, here is a list of my used CD’s currently available.

Prayer Unites Crowd

Last nigh I say the greatest show on earth. Thirty-five year olds drinking in the car in the parking lot. What a sight. I was at the GW Forum waiting for the Madonna: Reinvention Tour to begin.

The crowd was late, but amped nonetheless. This would be my second date with the Material Girl (I saw her perform at Staples Center in 2001). The lights go down, silence, the show begins.

WOW…what an amazing show. Video screens and circus performers, it’s like MTV on crack. I was truly blown away by the multimedia aspects. They were jaw dropping. Everything just worked. The visuals they choose to put to the music were off the wall, but still made sense. It wasn’t crazy or spastic at all.

She also reinvented (see, I used the tour title, very creative) some of her classics. Express Yourself was a little more techno, Burning Up was a total rock song, Deeper and Deeper was a bit of a ballad, Like a Prayer and Holiday were jazzed up super-club mixes.

It was a great show. I would call it the greatest concert I have ever been to (and I’ve seen Matthew Hinojosa live as well as some folk singer named Lisa). Yes, it was even better than Nine Inch Nails – Downward Spiral.

All that being said, I now wait for Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor to gather they creative juice and plan a new tour using the latest technology. That would be an awesome show.

food is good

The material girl is feeling ill. So tonight I get to watch the Lakers and 24. I think it worked out best for everybody.

I booked my flight to Las Vegas for the bachelor party. Round trip : $80. Thank you Southwest.com.

I think and hope, hope, hope that I finally fixed Caroline’s computer last night. Also, the cable modem has been installed in Burbank; along with electricity.

Caroline is a great cook�yum!

Something else for Jon to do @ work

So, somebody asked me how to determine if it’s a good time to buy an Apple (computer). One thing you can do is check the various Apple rumor sites. Several are dead on and other are just dead. My personal favorites are MacRumors.com and MacCentral. Also, MacRumors has a “Buyers Guide” which tells you if you should buy or wait. A very good resource.

If you are in the market for a used Apple, check out EveryMac.com. They are the ‘Kelly Blue Book’ of Apple products. Use this to make sure you don’t overpay or undervalue stuff on eBay or Craigslist.org.

So hurry up and buy that new or used Mac and spread the word on Apple love.

One more thing, the WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference) is in June. Expect product upgrades at that time.

It's only money

So I woke up this morning wondering what happened at WSOP over the weekend. I logged onto PokerPages.com to check it out. Poker has become very popular. Last year there were 836 players. This year 2576 people will try to win the $5 million dollar first place prize. Not bad for a weeks work.

Chronic goes missing

I would like to first thank all of you who gave suggestions for the Las Vegas trip in July. We are going to have a great Bachelor Party for Page. Thanks also to Toby for letting me use his Flamingo coupon; and to Jon, who gave me some good suggestions of things to do while we’re not busy getting jacked off by strippers.

Now…last night, took out the 40GB hard drive from Toby’s Replay and replaced it with a 200GB hard drive. We know have two hundred hours of recording time. That’s a lot of Celebrity Poker. It was way too easy and I keep waiting for the machine to start smoking or something. If you like, I can upgrade your Replay for you. Cheap too.

I watched SUPER MILLIONAIRE last night, I’m totally hooked on that show again. It’s like fast food, it’s good in moderation.

Guess what I found out…Jon’s birthday is Saturday! Happy Birthday Jon. What do you want to do? Any suggestions? Maybe Olive Garden!!!

Quick quiz, asshole…what is the quadratic equation and what is it used for?
First one to answer correctly gets a used CD.

Speaking of used CD’s, does anybody know where my Dr. Dre, Chronic 2000 CD is at? I can’t find it. Please help.

Recording the world…one show at a time

Today is UPFRONT day for FOX Broadcasting. Today is the day that Fox announces their schedule for the next 365. In doing so, they have a big to-do and some of the “important” people are invited. That being said, I am here at the office, alone, updating my blog and playing poker online. What a job.

Last night I fixed Caroline’s computer (now it won’t have any baby computers). Tonight, I will add the HD to Toby’s Replay TV. I love technology.

I played in a tournament on Tuesday. I got passed the break (60 min) and then took down two big hands. So i was just off a pot win, in good position (1 seat right of the dealer) when I picked up A-K off suit. Everybody called around so I raised 500. Dealer – fold, small blind – fold, big blind – raise, all in. Everybody folds to me. Now, I watched this guy play crazy all night and put in $120 in re-buys plus a $40 add-on. I’m telling you, he was playing loose. So I call him and he waits, really waits for me to turn over my cards. I show my A-K and he turns over pocket K-K. Fuck, I ran into pocket kings. My 3rd best starting hand against the 2nd beat starting hand. SO i lost when the Flush, straight, and any A failed to show. My tournament was over, but I learned a bit of a lesson. I can’t tell you what it is, because I’m going to use it in my next tournament.
