Saturday Mupdate

Today was a fairly lovely day.

Outline of today's activities:
-Drum lessons
-Trip to Fry's
-Hair Appointment
-Grocery shopping
-Trip to Ikea with taogrl. I found a new curtain rod for my room. Yay!
-Upgrade my Tivo from 80gb to 300.

Thoughts on the upgrade:
-Very easy. I used InstantCake from www.ptvupgrade.com. I purchased the 7.1 software for my Stand Alone Tivo. I set up my computer to reflect the cd rom as the primary slave and the new hard drive as the Secondary Master. This is important because it will not work unless you correctly set up the cd rom and drive. Total install time was about 4 hours.

Now I must sleep. I'm tired.

About town

This afternoon, by the time I had finished lazing around the house, I went for a walk. It was a 4-plus mile circuit that took me near where the new brewery-restaurant will be. Perhaps some of you are familiar with BJ's. They are popping up around the Sacramento area.

Before I continue, let me fully acknowledge (again), that I have an immature streak a mile wide. I still chuckle as I drive past the Hummer dealership. So now I have a new business establishment that has the good fortune of sharing it's name with an allusion to a sexual act.

So yes, whenever I drive past BJ's Restaurant, I think about ordering a heaping steamy-creamy plate of Fellati-O's.

And apparently, the proprietors of BJ's are purveying some services in the parking lot before the venue actually opens.

( Men, here's your parking lot! )

In other news, I have evidence of my good parking Karma.

Baklava!

I'm going to a bbq party tonight. Since booze and meat will be plentiful, I've decided that nuts and phyllo dough need to be added to the mix.

Baklava is actually quite easy, albeit a tad time consuming.
