Well I went to a bridal show this weekend and learned that I am way in over my head. I don’t think these vendors sell anything for less than a $1000. Does anyone know a good photographer? Or a cheap string quartet, please let me know.

Being a geek and all it’s almost unforgiving that it took me 27 years to finally read Gibson’s Neuromancer.
Let me just say:
WOW.
HOLY.
!!.
Amazing… It was a little slow to start but about 1/3 of the way through I found it hard to put down. I finished the book last night and just ordered up Count Zero on Amazon to continue the trilogy. I have to find out exactly what Wintermute has become now that he is freed from his hardware and has become completely sentient…
After 3 days of cool temps & rain, I saw the 1st trees changing colour on my way to work this morning…
From CNN.com this morning:
As the five-year anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks approaches, nearly three-fourths of those responding to a CNN poll said they believe Osama bin Laden is planning another significant attack against the United States.
It must be mid-term election time! Let the fear mongering begin….
Tuesday, Google announced that they will be opening a facility in Ann Arbor. The facility will deal primarily with Google’s revenue-making Adsense and Adwords. It is projected that Google’s move will hire about 1000 people directly and create about 1200 jobs indirectly.
Google’s reason for choosing Michigan?
Larry Page, U of M alum and Google co-founder, says they sought out Michigan due to the talent coming from Michigan Universities. I don’t quite believe that. I think it has more to do with Granholm’s offer of $38 million in single-business tax breaks over 20 years.
Who really cares how they got here though, they are here. I applied, so I guess I’ll see what happens.
If you are an overweight biker who’s gut spills over the belt and rides on the seat with you, please do not go shirtless; i had been enjoying my lunch perfectly well until you made me sick to my stomache.
Took a few pics this morning of Monty playing with one of Bailey’s cat toys & put them in the gallery.
Yes we’re both still here; things are going well we’re just busy busy busy all the time.
I’m pissed.
Exactly 1 week ago today I spent $400 to have my check engine light diagnosed at the Suburban group Hyundai dealership in Troy. This was $140 in 2 sensors (oxygen & coolant temperature) and $250 in labour. In addition they came up with about $600 worth of extra repairs which “really needed to be done”. I declined a $200 coolant flush & a $400 exhaust flex pipe replacement. Today at lunch my check engine light came back on. I really question what the fuck the dealership did with my car the last time I brought it in. Did they really even do anything?! This is not my 1st unhappy visit to them, and you would have thought I would learn my lesson after the 1st time…
1lb New York STrip steaks (should b 2 decent sized cuts)
1Tbsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
1Tbsp light brown sugar
1tsp onion powder
1tsp oregano
mix the seasonings in a small bowl & rub on steak. grill on medium heat 7mins to a side. let rest 3min.
the brown sugar caramelizes & holds the seasoning to the steak as well as all the juices inside. the end product is flavourful with a hint of sweetness.
best steaks i’ve had in a long time!!
Monty suddenly grew up fast this past week as we have left him out of his crate all day long while at work & he’s had no accidents. You don’t even know how happy this makes me…
