Exercise Shmexercise!

So my doctor has been on my ass about exercise.  I've been on my own ass about exercise.  My body is odd. 

I'm slender but still prone to high cholesterol and high blood pressure.  And I'm not a kid but I eat like one.  My four food groups are coffee, pasta, ribeyes and ice cream.

I do like to have salad with my California French dressing.  But it's such a pain in the ass to make salad.  

Why can't salad come in a can for 89 cents at the local market?  Geez!

So I made myself just f*cking walk already. I did 25 minutes.  Whopptee doo!

It's a start. 

Eventually I'll get off track.

Maybe tomorrow.

But today I did it.

Today is all that matters.  

Geez! Way to ruin a burger . . .

I'm an anomaly when it comes to hamburgers.  Apparently, cheese on a burger is all kinds of awesome to most Americans.

Well not this American.  

I'm not a fan of cheese in general.  I grew up biting into too many mistakes.  Namely, I assumed something was American cheese and it turned out to be very sharp cheddar or something.

So I just grew to not like any cheese except melted mozzarella.  Major yum.  

Goat cheese and feta on salads is OK.  

Cheddar is the devil.  

And parmesan smells like vomit.  So why would I eat that?

I was doing some last minute shopping and hit my wall where if I don't eat something I will end up in jail for randomly smacking strangers.  McDonald's $1 menu to the rescue.  

I inhaled the chicken sandwich but discovered the double burger had a messy maker.  The extra ketchup was all over the place.  I can't hold a mess like that and drive.  

I get home and discover another piece of yuckiness.  It has cheese. Blech! 

However, a HOT hamburger with HOT melted American cheese is indeed delicious.  Thank God for microwaves.

Really though, my ultimate hamburger is comprised as follows:

soft sesame seed bun

thick BROILED burger well done

SLICED (not diced) white onion

one pickle slice

one firm ripe sliced tomato (not MUSHY ripe)

iceberg lettuce

Ketchup (lots)

tiny dab of A1

mayo 

mustard (a dab or two)

I think that covers it.  It's not this McMess:

Technology Rules Until It Doesn't

Usually, technology rules!!! 


But invariably, technology,requires maintenance, and/or God forbid, re-DAMN-pair!  That's especially brutal if it's a piece of technology I have come to depend on.  Like my computer or in this case, my SMART PHONE!


I love my HTC Evo. But the charging port conked out.  And replacement won't be here until Tuesday.  Meanwhile, I have to disassemble the phone, take out the battery, and recharge the BATTERY each time the Evo dies.  ONE -TWO HOURS  later, battery is fully charged.  


Of course, if I had Donald Trump's bank account I could buy a bunch of batteries at $40-50 a pop between now and Tuesday.  But I'm not Donald Trump.  I don't have his money.


So today, technology bites!!!

I Got a Thing For Spring

How cheesy am I with that title?  Can't help it!  Today is the first day of Spring and I got a little pep in my step.

Been talking to some peeps for the past while.  I see some changes on the horizon that make this first day of Spring all that more inspiring.  There's something about sunshine, flowers, and shorts that makes everything significantly more tolerable  . . . and hopeful.

Anyway, my hat's off to Spring, to change and to hope.  :-)

Photoshop Elements 9: Placing Files (Love it!)

So today I learned about placing files in Photoshop Elements 9.  So far, this is my second favorite editing tool.  I put me in a hat in a photo of the same hat I spotted window shopping:

Too cool!  :-)

iPad 2 . . . hmm . . .

Loved my iPad. Upgraded to the iPad 2. And I gotta say, not overly impressed with iPad 2 versus the original!

The added cameras/FaceTime: thumbs down. Camera quality is poor and FaceTime is 'waste time.' Hello. Nobody really wastes time with basically 'mobile Skype.'

My biggest gripe is still the whole flash player issue. To me that's just silly not to support it. If I can read ebooks from Amazon's Kindle, I should be able to view the instant movies too. Plus I can watch just fine on my MacBook and iMac. Geez!

Right now my absolute biggest gripe is iTunes movie download times. OH MY GAH! It's like back in the day when everything went through phone lines! It's 30 minutes later and "28 Weeks Later" is still damn downloading.

Inexcusable!

Netflix downloads in a few SECONDS. iTunes should be raising the bar, not lagging behind.

Overall, I say if you still have your original iPad, keep it and don't worry with upgrading. I love Mac. But I have to admit, Steve Jobs and his team still have some work to do.
