Has anyone seen this will ferrell video with the baby? no? omg, it's soooooo funny!

i went to help marvin pick out a new iMac yesterday and he got the top of the line model, with 2 gigs of ram and 2.8 processor and the price with apple care and tax and other crap was damn near 3000 dollars. but then he turns around and asks "do you want anything?" i was like...um...well...an ipod?

and so he bought me an ipod! out of no where, for no reason. i almost feel as if i should return the favor with a favor???? hee hee.

he's so super sweet though. i love you marcinek!

but the ipod won't work because i have 10.3 not 10.5 installed on my computer.

so my question is, can install leopard on my computer from his back up cd that comes with the computer?

I found this super fun website that does a really good job of transforming your face into different ages, ethnicities and art styles.



Just upload a face shot. I used this one of (e:ladycroft) and I the day of our Amazing Race audition taping.

we went to dinner at the new restaurant that some nba guy, leonard stokes, opened up. since this was a last minute decision, we couldn't get reservations at my fav restaurant, hutch's until 10, so we had to settle for this place instead.

it was rather disappointing. firstly, the wait from the time we sat down, until the waiter came to introduce himself, was unacceptable. seriously, we sat there for about 15 minutes, without a wine list, picking our noses, for what seemed like eons.

second, the tables were made of plywood or something, so they felt wobbly and weird. it felt as if the thing was going to break in half if you leaned on it too hard.

third, there were no candles on any of the tables. first of all, the restaurant is very dimly lit so in order to see your menu, you definitely needed some additional lighting, plus it was FUCKING VALENTINES DAY! you are supposed to have a romantic dinner at a romantic restaurant. how do you have an upscale restaurant with no fucking candles on any of the tables on valentines day!? i asked the waiter about the missing candles and he said that because they added additional tables to accommodate the big crowd they were anticipating for valentines day, they realized that they didn’t have enough candles for all of the tables, so they decided to scrap them all and not put ANY out on ANY of the tables. being as picky as i am, i said that i absolutely could not eat dinner here if there was no candle on my table. i felt as if i was eating in some back alley restaurant that couldn't afford a simple tea light candle. i mean seriously, rite aid is right across the street. if you morons ran out of candles, have someone run there and buy some. it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. and if you're too fucking cheap to do that, then you do not belong in the restaurant business.

fourth, the menu was a special limited valentines day menu. that sucked. if i'm shelling out (well, not me, but if someone is shelling out) a ton of money for a nice dinner, i expect to have the normal selection of the shit you usually have on your dinner menu, instead of some cheap, shortened, menu that has about a third of the normal entree choices of the dinner menu.

fifth, the entrees were waaaaaay over priced. the amount of money they were charging for the quality of the food was ridiculous. the appetizer was good, and the crème' brulee was good, but the filet and lobster were too expensive. i mean, $45 for a lobster dinner with, what seemed like instant mashed potatoes and plain green beans was just embarrassing.

on the plus side, our waiter was very, very nice and accommodating and he was so terribly cute that i wished i could have sucked face with him in the bathroom. i mean, this guy was hot. my date was not happy. however, my date seemed to forget that a couple of nights prior, he was all hot and bothered by the waitress at mother's and was drooling all over her. so short our selective memories are.

anyway, because he was so nice, and cute, i convinced my date to give him an decent tip. although he did that pretty reluctantly. i must say that had i been paying for this dinner, i would be in a great depression right about now. i don't mind spending money on food, but i hate spending money on bad food or bad service when i know that there are tons of other great restaurants in buffalo that deserve my business instead. i am very thankful however, for the wonderful company i had and the generosity of my date, regardless of the crappy, overpriced food. i still had a great night.

all in all, he spent entirely too much money on a below average meal. we had 2 bottles of wine, one appetizer, two entrees (one lobster tail, one filet and crab legs) and one dessert. with a generous tip, the underwhelming meal was a grand total of $270 bucks.

that's like an ipod or an apple tv, or a smart phone, isn't it? i wish i could shit all of that out and ask for the money back. i've never felt so cheated.

this brings new meaning to "threesome"
