Chow Chocolate on Main Street Rocks!

Last weekend we went with (e:jim) and (e:james) to Chow Chocolate on Main Street between Tupper and Goodell. (e:tinypliny,44289) had written about this place before

First we tried to go to the Chocolate Bar on chippewa. It was beyond crowded and loud to the point of obnoxious. No one greeted us at the door and I ended up having to call them on the phone from within the restaurant to ask if they had any tables. How ridiculous is that. They said not for an hour and we left in search of another source chocolate.

The iphone suggested Chow Chocolate on Main Street and man was that a good choice. They close at 10:00PM and it was like 9:54 but we called and they said they would stay open and had a table. So we went and ate the best chocolate desserts I have ever had. This one was called the chocolate turtle truffle or something like that. (e:jim) had the same thing minus pecans. (e:matthew) had a cheesecake and (e:Terry) and (e:james) had some decadent cherry dessert. At least I am pretty sure.

Windows mobile vs iphone

Now everyone knows I don't love the iphone but this iphone advertisement made itself. I was going through my old userpics and found these two. One with windows mobile and one with iphone. Totally unintentional and taken a year apart.

Nice day at bidwell

Linux on the PS3 with Edie Beale


All day long, (e:matthew) has been going crazy trying to watch this Grey
Gardens xvid.avi on the ps3. Transcoding it was not an option because
the quality was already low. The answer ended up being dual boot the
PS3 with Linux. If only the ps3 would allow the Linux install to use
hardware graphics accelareion we could go full screen. At least we
can watch it pretty big.

I hate being sick

I have had the worst sore throat/cough thing since saturday. I think what caused it is cleaning the tortoise room after I put him outside on saturday. I didn't release that shop vac didn't have a filter on it and wihtin a few seconds the dried tortoise poop and hay combo turned into a nasty poop dust cloud with myself in the middle.

Since then I have been coughing. I probably have some rare tortoise poop lung disease, yuk!

Why Oracle?

Oracle just bought Sun Microsystems, which had recently bought mysql which means that oracle now owns mysql. That sound bad for mysql but I guess good for postgresql which I am most likely going to switch at some point in the near future.

Just a couple weeks ago, IBM put up a bid for Sun which would have been so much better. IBM has such a great history of supporting open source intiatives. The one good thing about it is that eclipse and netbeans won't be owned by the same company so they will still compete for better features and both end up better.

Pick up you shit scumbags

The other day this car full of auslinwooders pulled up, opened their
car doors, dumped their mcDonalds trash and left.

I let the crows and seaguls finish the food and then picked up the
trash.

I seriously can't believe people do this.

Too cold for basra


I put him outside and be was so excited. But then it got too cold and
he dug himself a hole to sleep in. He is so strong now that he dug it
in like a hour. He actually was warm when I pulled him out, so I
guess it works.

The tree next door


I am about to spend $25,000+ on a new roof. This tree, while pretty
fucks up our roof really bad. I hope that if we have to get the half
of it that hangs over our house trimmed, it will be ok.

The ghettoist trash

Just when you think it is the worst it can be, our ghetto trash tenants can top it.

You have no idea how much I resent social welfare. I was always such a liberal pay your taxes, help out your neighbor kind of guy until we started actually dealing with the fucking trash that lives off the system.

When the last tenant left the upstairs ones asked to move downstairs. We let them figuring upstairs is easier to rent out. We told them to have it clean. That was April 1. At the beginning of the month we got the half of their rent that comes form social services. To this day they still haven't paid their half. Some lame ass story about how some other social welfare had her address mixed up so they didn't get their money. How about you get a job you fucking lazy ass. So we called and called no response. I can't really deal with it during the week because I am working and then today we go there and no one is home.

We go to check out upstairs where they used to live and it is disgusting. Also , they heat is at 80 degrees. That means it has been at 80 degress for 17 days. Serioulsy, but who cares they probably aren't paying for it - your taxes are. Not only that but you can here in their apartment that the TV is on, the radio is on. The basements light are all on, the back hall light is on.

Then the kicker - the new upstairs appliances are missing. Yes the appliances we just spent a $1000 on are gone. They decided to move them downstairs. Great! The old appliance from downstairs are in the back hall blocking the door. This is definitely not okay to with fire code or with me as I would never let such careless people move our new appliance around. I don't want to have to move huge appliances between floor and hook stuff up.

The room used to look like this with a brand new refrigerator and stove (e:paul,45020) now it looks like this.

Then they broke the front screen door.

And added this totally ghetto trash couch to the porch.

Now we have to evict them too before it gets worse. I am going to start over with a property manager.
