I watched The Hangover the other day and got a kick out of it. I recommended it to my mom and Lisa. They picked it up at the local Red Box, watched it, and declared it wasn’t nearly as good as I promised. I think you need to watch it in the company of men and their laughter and snorts will make it seem funnier than it actually is.
Speaking of hangover, I have a tiny one from the cheap wine last night. I think it’s because I didn’t eat anything substantive prior to drinking the wine. Chocolate Chip Cookies aren’t a good base for alcohol it seems. I feel like crap and why people would put themselves through this on a regular basis is beyond me. Of course I suppose when other people get tipsy they do more exciting things than watch silly cult tv shows from the 90s and blog about it. So maybe it’s worth it for them. I dunno. It doesn’t seem worth it to me.
Tomorrow my computer arrives. I can hardly wait. I tried to persuade Tom to bring it over yesterday and like a good man, he ignored my pleas, cries, snot dripping from my nose, “PLEASE TOM I NEED IT! I NEED IT NOW!”. That means tomorrow I will be cradling my new baby!
I am trying to remember my past computers. I’ve always named them HAL. Lisa names her’s D.A.R.Y.L. I think this is what I’ve owned (dates are estimates):
386 Laptop with monochrome screen & 500 megs of Hard Drive space- HAL (1993 -1996)
Pentium desktop – HAL 2 (1996 -2000)
Winbook – HAL 3 (2000 – 2003)
Hulking Toshiba- HAL 4 (2003 – 2006)
Tiny HP Pavilion (current) – HAL 5 (2006 – 2009)
Prior to my first laptop, as a family, we had a VIC 20, a Commodore 64, an Amiga 2000 and then an assortment of PCs.
My hope is that with this desktop I will stop the 3 year laptop cycle I’ve been on for the past 17 years. I want some permanency. Even if it turns into Frankenstein. And I figure once this laptop truly bites the dust, I can go the netbook route.
Speaking of hangovers… I love to drink wine and eat food and I’ve found through trial and error, wine AND water. Pour down the water while and after and the next day will be much better. Apparently, some wines have a lot of added sugar or have high alcohol content and can be especially difficult the next day. Umm, boy, red Italian food and good Italian red wine. You can usually find a good one in a wine shop for 10 bucks. Usually not too much alcohol, too.
Drunkblogging is hilarious!
Hi Gerald– Yeah I agree, lottsa water fights the hangover. I thought I drank enough water last night but honestly the wine hit me hard– much harder than I even planned. It think it was the lack of food in my system.
I remember once I drank an obscene amount of alcohol and my sister kept telling me to drink water– she pushed so much water on me it was unreal but she was totally right because the next day, I was fine! No hangover at all!
Kozaburo— and it’s fun blogging in that state– as long as you can find the right keys on the keyboard 😉
Off-topic: A protege of Ron Paul is running for Governor of Texas. The candidate’s name is Debra Medina. She’ll be participating in a 3-way (televised debate for governor, that is) next week, even though she’s only garnering 6%-7% of the vote according to recent polls. But at least she has a forum, and that ought to stir the pot a lot. Here she is…
