Second Date

My first attempt of getting a second date has just failed. Just called her at work inviting her to have something to eat after it. Well, she had already made plans for tonight, which she explained detailed, and then she said other opportunities would appear. And before I could have asked her if she was free tomorrow, she just said she hoped I’ll have a very nice weekend and kind of ended the conversation (well, she’s at work afterall!). Anyway, it didn’t sound as a lame excuse. Lame excuses aren’t explained in details followed right after by “we’ll have other opportunities”, or do they? Damn, I’m so fucking confused!

First Date

Yesterday I had a first date with the current girl of choice. I’m not sure if I could call it a date, it didn’t last long! Well, It didn’t last long for work reasons and not because things didn’t go well. I guess things did go pretty well, I don’t think I screwed things up this time. We just talked, then I walked her home. Today I’m thinking if I should have kissed her, I don’t know, really… I don’t believe in this kissing on the first date thing, I like to play it safe. Problem is sometimes I play it too safe and kind of lose the proper moment. Anyway I had problems sleeping last night. She was on my mind, and now I have butterflies in the stomach. It sucks!

Anyway, she’s gorgeous! attractive, intelligent, funny. Everything I always dreamed of. I definetely want a second date.

80s or 90s (continued)

So, I guess I wasn’t fair to the 90s on my last post. I said it didn’t offer us much… Well, I guess I was wrong. It did present Beverly Hills 90210 to the world. And throw the first stone who has never seen an episode! Come, on! Throw it! Now someone (warner?) made a remake of it. And they simply call it ‘90210′ (very smart isn’t it?). I’ve seen all the episodes so far and let me tell you… I think they got the mojo of the original show, specially putting some of the original cast members of the old show. Who didn’t smile when Brenda and Kelly were walking down the school’s corridor on the last episode? And no, I didn’t mean smile in a pervert way, although they still look very attractive!

Now, getting back to the 80s… On the last post I did mention Knight Rider, didn’t I? It was so fucking cool for the time! I mean, the car could do anything and even talk! James Bond’s car didn’t do that at the time. So, it was new, it was fascinating. Well, some smart ass decided to do a remake of it! And they call it ‘Knight Rider’ (yeah I know, another very smart title). I watched the season premiere last night. Oh man, that was a piece of shit! It almost ruined all the good memories I still have from the original show. It didn’t ruin everything because I simply stopped watching it after 15 minutes, the smartest thing I did this week! I had never imagined that I would ever say this, but I missed David Hasselhoff!

80s or 90s?

A few days ago I was chatting with a friend of mine on msn and she was playing some songs for me. She wondered if I remembered any of those tunes. Apparently they were all hits during the 90s. Well, I didn’t believe I had ever heard them before, and thanks God, because they all sounded fucking terrible! Well, she was quite amazed by the fact I couldn’t recognize any of the songs (she played 5 or 6) and asked me the following question: “Where were you during the whole 90s?” Well, I told her: “Still lost somewhere around the 80s!”

Really, what did the 90s offer us? Can’t think of many things, can you? If so, let me know… As fot the 80s, well, we had neon lights, we had the pop music (MJ, Billy Idol, A-Ha, Europe, and many others), rock (Ozzy, Dio…), metal (early Metallica, Maiden, Hellowen…), we had Miami Vice and The A-Team on TV! Oh, we also had “V”, MacGyver and The Knight Rider! Honestly, do you really think the 90s were better? No fucking way!

Time for a change

As much as the title of this post seems optimistic, I’m not sure how optimistic it indeed is. I’m trying to change things in my pathetic life. A change of look sounded an obvious option so a couple of months ago I enrolled my self at the gym and decided to grow my hair again. For you who don’t know, I used to have very long hair back at my late teen years. Anyway, two months after this first decision I noticed two things: I’m getting stronger, even though it’s not so noticeable yet, and my hair isn’t as straight as it used to be, oh, and it’s also darker! Now I’m considering the option of going to a hairdresser and do some treatment to have it straightened and reduce its volume. What I know for sure is that I’m not going to have it very long, just long enough for people to notice and say: “wow, you’re growing your hair. It looks really nice!” (more…)

What’s wrong?

Whenever I feel interested in someone (of the oppostie sex, of course), I ask this person out for lunch or dinner, whatever… And the person always have an excuse. Always! Unbelievable. Don’t really know what to do next… :-/

Hoegaarden

Earlier today I was at the supermarket and I noticed some fancy imported beers, when I suddenly put my eyes on a Hoegaarden. It automatically rewinded my mind some years back and I remembered a conversation I had with my friend Chris Dale. The conversation was about beer and Chris told me at the time that Hoegaarden was his favourite beer (or one of his favourites) and he said I should try it, which I didn’t at the time. And I still haven’t tried it because I simply don’t drink like beer.

Well, I also didn’t like wine and nowadays I’m a good wine drinker, so I thought about giving Hoegaarden a try. I bought it, and as I write this post, it’s gettin cooler in my fridge. Tomorrow or Sunday I shall give it a try and will let you guys know about the result.

Ubiquity

You’re writing an email to invite a friend to meet at a local San Francisco restaurant that neither of you has been to.  You’d like to include a map. Today, this involves the disjointed tasks of message composition on a web-mail service, mapping the address on a map site, searching for reviews on the restaurant on a search engine, and finally copying all links into the message being composed.  This familiar sequence is an awful lot of clicking, typing, searching, copying, and pasting in order to do a very simple task.  And you haven’t even really sent a map or useful reviews—only links to them.

Why so serious?

I Finally saw ‘The Dark Knight’ tonight and I have only one word to describe it: WOW! Definitely the best Batman movie of all. Well, let’s cut the crap and go straight to the point, shall we? Everybody now is speaking about Heath Ledger and his role as ‘The Joker’. Let’s be honest here. I love Jack Nicholson. Everyone does, don’t you? But Ledger’s performance was PERFECT. Well, maybe we can’t compare their performances, because they created different kind of ‘Jokers’, both from different generations, but as their performances go, I’d say they both did very well. Ledger’s character was dark and psychotic, whereas Nicholson was meant to be more of a playful character who was more likely to crack a joke. Heat certainly did one thing correctly: he didn’t make the mistake in trying to copy Jack Nicholson. (more…)

Beijing Curiosities (Part 2)

Here’s the 2nd part of the Curiosities from Beijing. The first post was a success (got loads of visitors), so I’ll surely keep posting them during the Olympics.

Package: in Beijing if you want to carry your good when you leave a supermarket you must pay for your plastic bags. Can you believe that? At book stores the same happens. So, if you’re not willing to have the extra costs you have to carry your products as shown in the picture below: (more…)
