Goodbye Las Vegas

Monday, November 26th, 2007

I’m puttering around at LAS, waiting for my flight to board & return me to Los Angeles. I’ll write more about the trip later, but I have to say free WiFi at the airport rocks. Why doesn’t every airport do this?

Goodbye, Las Vegas. I’ll miss you.

However, thanks to the 99 cent, Las Vegas Half-Pound hot dog, I’ll be taking part of you with me. (Blackberry included for reference.)

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Thanksgiving Song! (by Adam Sandler)

Love to eat turkey
Love to eat turkey
Love to eat turkey
‘Cause it’s good
Love to east turkey
Like a good boy should
‘Cause it’s turkey to eat
So good

Turkey for me
Turkey for you
Let’s eat the turkey
in my big brown shoe
Love to eat the turkey
At the table
I once saw a movie
With Betty Grable
Eat that turkey
All night long
Fifty million Elvis fans
Can’t be wrong
Turkey turkey doo and
Turkey turkeydap
I eat that turkey Then I take a nap

Thanksgiving is a special night
Jimmy Walker used to say Dynomite
That’s right
Turkey with gravy and cranberry
Can’t believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry
Turkey for you and
Turkey for me
Can’t believe Tyson
Gave that girl V.D.

White meat, dark meat
You just can’t lose
I fell off my moped
And I got a bruise
Turkey in the oven
And the buns in the toaster
I’ll never take down
My Cheryl Tiegs poster
Wrap the turkey up
In aluminum foil
My brother like to masturbate
With baby oil
Turkey and sweet potato pie
Sammy Davis Jr.
Only had one eye

Turkey for the girls and
Turkey for the boys
My favorite kind of pant
Are corduriys
Gobble gobble goo and
Gobble gobble gickel
I wish turkey
Only cost a nickel
Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving

The OmniGroup has started pre-sales for OmniFocus at 50% off. You can also sign up for the beta program to give it a test drive first.

If you’re a die-hard David Allen GTD fan, it’s definitely worth checking out. Over the years, I’ve used paper, Emacs, kGTD, Tracks, and OneNote. OmniFocus smokes ‘em all.

I am not Jack’s Raging Bile Duct.

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Owning just a VCR, I first purchased the Princess Bride on VHS.

Later, when I got a DVD player, I decided I didn’t need to re-purchase most of my VHS collection, just to have it on DVD. Except, of course, the Princess Bride. So I bought it on DVD.

Shortly thereafter they released a “Special Edition” version, loaded with extras, so, of course, I bought it.

Now, there’s an even newer edition — the special 20th Anniversary Edition.

I wish I could tell you I was angry.

Angry at having to keep purchasing the same, damn movie over and over and over again.

But I’m not.

I’m so not.

Sadly, my reaction was that of schoolgirl glee, thinking “Oooooooooo! I bet there’s even more extras!”

*sigh*

I swear, it’s like I never read/saw Fight Club.
