hellenic coffee
While at Dio Deka for dinner the other day, at the end, they asked if anyone wanted coffee… the menu has coffee and “hellenic” coffee. Someone ordered it so I thought it might be good, but I asked the waiter just to make sure. He says it’s a coffee with the grounds in it, once I heard that I knew it wasn’t for me, but he kept going on and on. After about 2 minutes of this guy trying to tell me all about the coffee, I finally got a chance to tell him, “just a regular coffee.” Now that was funny!
No commentsIt’s tuesday and I’m still tired
What an insane weekend, as someone once told me, it’s bad when people can tell that you’re not normal… I was so tired and intoxicated, I wasn’t thinking straight at all.
It all started the days coming up to the weekend. I’ve been busy with this thing at work and haven’t gotten more than 3-4 hours of sleep for the past few nights. Friday finally came around and I was in the office until 8pm, we went and ate dinner. I was supposed to go fishing with the guys at 4:30am… I hadn’t packed my gear or anything. I just stayed up and gamed until 3:30am and then started getting ready to go.
We got back from fishing and I took a quick shower, then it was time to go to dinner, that was followed by a bar and then I finally went home. I slept sunday until 3pm, it’s now Tuesday and I wakeup tired and I nod off all day at work. This can’t be good. I’m going to catchup on sleep soon.
No commentschoppy video
I setup Windows Vista Media Center for my home PVR, it connects to the HDTV antenna I setup and a HDTV wonder card. My TV is a 2o inch Dell widescreen LCD at first the video was choppy… after a week of being really annoyed with this it dawned on me that I was watching TV at 1680×1050! I set the resolution to 720p and that works great!
Now if I want to get 1080p thats 1920×1080… I might need a new video card for that.
3 commentsbusy weekend!
This weekend was busy, it was the wife’s first birthday as a married couple, I took her and a bunch of our friends out to Alexanders Steakhouse for dinner. Afterwards she got her present, a brand new Prius I bought earlier that morning. She named it Aurthur
On Sunday I installed a Channel Master 4228 HDTV antenna in the attic, I actually went out and bought a pipe, and bunch of stuff from Home Depot and Lowes to install it, but it turns out there was already a nice big pipe in the attic for the sprinkler system. So I just mounted it to that and then aimed it once and it picked up all the channels! It was alot simpler than I had thought.
