Thank you 12x

Just testing out a program I've found called bloggar that allows you to post without having to login to blogger.com's website. It's like Hello only for text, you know, the meat and potatoes of most people's Blog's ... just not mine = ) What's more, it also allows one to preview what they are posting. So far I really like it.

Apple Store Visit No.2

Windows 2000 Terminal crashed just outside of the Apple Store. Priceless.

Filthy Stinking Rich. Literally.

Tysons II


Breath in and smell the materialism


and again


Ahhh the Ritz-Carlton


Plain yet elegant


So ritzy they don't have wallpaper or paint on most of the walls, they use fabric


A side staircase to the conference floor


A bad picture of the hotel exit to the mall


Who needs pennies when we can afford a $40 leather bound journal with blank paper?


As soon as I saw this store I new I needed to capture it on film for my good friend, Kris, who loves Lacoste, or at least use to. Anyway, I was directly outside the store when I decided to snap a photo (not this one) of the Lacoste logo, an open mouthed alligator. As soon as I snapped the picture a man, who had been walking to me, proclaimed, "Sir. Sir. SIR! You can't take pictures of the store." I looked at him and said, "Oh ... sorry" and left it at that. He blankly looked at me most likely expecting me to have said something nasty back. After he realized that is all I was going to say he uttered, "Uhhh, it's store policy, sorry" (as if I needed to be told that). I then looked down to see if I got the picture and it turned out better than I could have imagined. I smiled, apologized again and then walked away with a huge sense of satisfaction.

I *Went* In The Ritz

My folks and I went to the Apple Store in Tysons Corner last week and happened to be near a Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Conference Center. Well my mother wanted to go in so we did. I had to use the bathroom and did. I have never smelled a bathroom so good. What did it smell like you ask? Coconuts.

2/3rd's of my Collection Willingly Destroyed

Do you think I am crazy?


74 illegal burned CD's now in the trash


Yeah, that's a lot of CD's (would be around $1110 at $15 a piece)
