lobster stuffed with tacos
Earlier today I went to a pre-season SF v. Oakland game at PacBell. Today was a ridiculously nice day. The seats were in the lower level and the sun was really shining down. A fallen comrade underworld rise of the lycans divx download has season tickets so who am I to turn down a free game?
Having formerly lived half a block from PacBell, I’ve been to many, many games. But every time I go I’m always amazed by the huge, albeit bourgeois, selection of food. Today, for example, I had a bowl that included Jamaican jerk chicken, black beans and rice. It was pretty damn good.
What happened with the game you ask? Oh, the Giants got their asses kicked when the A’s scored 6 runs in the 7th inning. But no matter, I had some frozen lemonade to distract me during the 8th.

Who among us has never accidentally typed the wrong info into a form? Forever more having to hit down arrow twice because you accidentally typed “uesr” instead of “user”. Well the nightmare is over! A quick googling produced an ever so useful blog post about Firefox Saved Form Data Frustration
star trek movie . It’s basically this:
Go to the form where the mistake is. Put your cursor in the text entry widget and hit down until the incorrect entry is highlighted. Now press shift + del … voila.
It was such an unbelievably awesome find I couldn’t not blog about it.

Gasp! I’m not wearing Pumas today. I decided to opt for the other brother
star trek online bolt divx download and buy a pair of adidas. They’re not 100% broken in yet but so far so good. At 15+ pairs I think it’s possible I may have bought every *good* Puma there is. Ok sure, that’s a lot of sneakers but it’s part of my uniform: Impossibly NorCal long sleeved shirt under short sleeved (threadless) shirt, jeans, Pumas.

Top Chef is total bullshit. I’m really tempted to boycott the show. For real this time. Andrew getting sent home because he didn’t “follow the rules” is completely f’ed up. I thought it was beyond unfair when Antonia or Lisa didn’t get sent home when they decided they were above beer and polish sausage and instead made sea bass and chorizo in the improv challenge. But yet they send Andrew home b/c he didn’t use a whole grain? Unbelievable.
I just can not stand Lisa. She is a self-righteous whiny baby who would knock an old lady down the stairs to win. I mean what a fucking hypocrite! She wantonly ignores the rules of the challenge and declares “I don’t cook with beer” and then has the audacity to call Andrew out. And why the hell is Spike still there? Ok, he can make a squash soup but is that really the makings of a Top Chef. And you know what? I like Dale. Sure, he gets far too upset over losing but at least he has talent. Richard is obviously going to win though. And he should. He’s experimental but not as bizarre as Marcel or as annoying as Hung.
I’m telling you, pull this crap again Top Chef and we’re through! I mean it this time.transporter 3 dvdrip
1 commentJ. Peterman for food
I went to Trader Joe’s for the first time ever on Sunday. I know, I know, it’s shocking that I’d never been. For years I’ve read their catalog which, for some reason, I always received in the mail. I found it amusing and in passing I’d always referred to the newsprint circular as “…like J. Peterman for food”.
Upon first entering I was completely overwhelmed. Though I’m certain that had to do with the fact that I went at the worst possible time (Sunday early evening) at the worst location (9th Street). But I was really impressed by the selection. I liked the prepared meals and salads and the fact that you could get vegetables and meats prepackaged in smaller portions. But the thing I really liked was the prices. At the checkout I was surprised that my two large, very stuffed bags of food only amounted to ~$60. Comparable shopping experiences at Whole Foods and Bristol Farms routinely cost upwards of $150!
I haven’t tasted everything just yet but so far so good. I will definitely go back but next time I’ll be armed with a shopping list and a sense of purpose.australia onlinepaul blart mall cop divxwatch star trek in divx
No commentsmaverick things that mavericks do
Here’s a tip, while dining at Maverick in SF, it’s probably best not to ask the waitress “Do you serve the Sarah Palin?” Really, don’t. Sure, in your head you’ll have some witty “What’s a dikfore”-like comeback akin to: “Oh you know, it’s two shot glasses filled with desperation and lipstick”. But trust me, that’s not how it’ll play out. No one will laugh. No one. You’ll just get a sad vacant look from the waitress who’s boredom is only overshadowed by her indifference to the fact that she won’t be getting a tip due to any effort on her part to even provide you with a pity laugh.

guitar solo
download transporter 3 divx Yesterday I went to Guitar Solo on Townsend to have the action taken down on my guitar. Guitar Solo has almost legendary status in the city because it is known for it’s acoustic guitar selection and even better Tech. I had stopped in before but never had anything done until yesterday. I must say I was not disappointed. The Guitar Tech, Dave, was a really great guy. He took it in the back and basically decided that he could take down the action but that there would still be issues because of the way that my guitar was constructed. Part of the conversation went like this:
Me: So what you’re saying is I should get a new guitar
Dave: Well…
Before you think he’s a shyster who’s just trying to separate a fool from his money I should set you straight. 
He’s right. My guitar is, to put it mildly, a piece of crap. I only bought it because it was a good starter and I always intended to upgrade to something better.
He explained that he might not be able to give me perfect results but that he would see what he could do. It was obvious that he had a real respect for the craft because he spent a lot of time in the back trying to make it as nice as possible. When he could have just taken my money and phoned it in. It seemed that he really cared whether or not I was happy with the end result. While he was at it I asked him to change the strings and pins. The pins, by the way, were nice wooden ones that he gave me a more than 50% discount on.
To my credit, I resisted the urge to buy any of the many guitars that I tried out while waiting for the Guitar Tech to finish. I really liked the Blueridge BR43 and the Wechter 5713. The Wechter was a small parlor guitar but it had a really nice sound and the back and sides was a gorgeous matte rosewood.
I’d highly recommend Guitar Solo. When small shops are getting crushed by mega chains like Guitar Center, it’s nice to see a local business that cares about quality and service. Oh, and the whole thing only ran me about $50 and that’s including the strings and pins.watch australia in divx

1 commentno, no I can’t see
Listening to music on the walk to work today I made a decision. And I’ve made up my mind so don’t try to convince me otherwise. I am officially boycotting any song that contains the lyrics “Can’t you see push dvdrip dragonball evolution movie
“. It has to be the most hackneyed non-original rhyming phrase of all time. I demand more, people.
That is all.

Saw Baby Mama dragonball evolution divx download
last weekend. Extremely hilarious movie. I love it that smart, funny women are making waves on the big screen. Tina Fey is my hero. The only weak spot in the movie was Romany Malco
who played Oscar the doorman. While I loved him in The 40 Year Old Virgin I really didn’t like him in this role. Tho to be fair, it’s hard to tell whether it was his acting or the writing. When Oscar says: “If you listen to DMX, the baby comes out goin ‘Ennngghhh!”… Sheesh. “Honest to blog” that is unbelievably bad dialog. But overall I really liked it. Amy Poehler was a riot and I loved seeing her and Fey together on screen again.download wall e

underworld rise of the lycans dvd download I was starting to feel a little bad about my review of The Great Debaters. That is until I read this review on Vibe. I still very much agree with the sentiment. But this review echoes some of the same concerns that I had about the movie.download underworld rise of the lycans movie divx bolt
