Went out last night with friends around downtown Manhattan. Walked through SoHo. And boy! I've always known the neighborhood has changed. But man, it really struck me last night. I've watched the place change over the years, but somehow it all clicked last night. Maybe the route we took just touched on so many different landmarks; large and small. Looking at Canal Jeans old place...

At least you have a frame of reference in regards to how the place used to look. I was fortunate enough to see the Flamingo hotel in Vegas (Bugsy Siegel's joint) before it was torn down about 10 years ago. The construction workers told me it was built more solidly than any other modern casino, and that tearing it down required 10 times the manpower they had anticipated. Things just are not built the way the used to be.

Everytime I think of Soho, I think of Parasite Eve. Damn, what a cool game. Did you happen to run into any rogue mitochondria while you were walking around?
I finally caved in and bought and drank some Pomegranate juice from POM.
I have never been more disappointed in a beverage. Now I am frightened that some bar in this vast city will have some Pom-tini drink or something. Ewww.

Yeah, for 4 bucks Canadian for a bottle, it wasn't worth it. I like pomegranite, but the drink blew. Yuck.

The usual and more rest and all that. Friends I forgot have come back and all is copacetic relatively speaking.
Very happy that my eating less crap food diet is actuallly working. Went on it because I was eating too much junk. Now, it's more balanced. I can sleep/rest better and I actually lost 10 pounds. I was not overweight at all, but that's not...

Thank you for your uplifting comment re: being still single. Indeed, times have changed (thank goodness), and I, too, am terribly grateful that I did not marry some of the characters from my past.
chiclet:
Yes, definitely, a learning experience!!
Like Rodney King said: "Why cant we all just get along?"

Hooray! Yes, I am up late as a side effect of weeks of non-stop coding, debugging, meetings, coding, debugging, meetings, etc.

I have a roomate that does computer tech help all freaking day. Then he comes home at night and does the same damn thing.
The ice cream maker is a Hamilton Beach one, and it works really damn easy. Put the ice cream bowl in the freezer, make the stuff, start the machine, pour in the mixture...40 min later you have ice cream

Might want to check my journal. Might appreciate it!
So, my updates are sporadic. Oh well. But this one is going to be time/date independent. Because I'm not saying anything in it!
That's the irony of these journals--here and everywhere--9 times out of 10 an update is made just to update and not for any other reason. Ironic, huh?

Thanks. 
What a crazy, crazy week. The weekend ended up being a work weekend and my sleep schedule until today was a joke. The positive side of all of this is the automation I'm doing for my boss will help lessen the burden off of me in the long run.
Like today. I'm still a bit haggard from the work I did the past 5 days,...

You've got a good point. The whole farming thing is all Great, and they are honest about it all. I suppose for me though ignorance is bliss and I'd rather not think about whatever I'm eating in its live (cute and cuddly) form.
l8r!

Work. Sleep. Work. Sleep. This feels like the dot-com boom days in some way. But when all is said and done this project at work will free me up enough so I can find another gig! Hooray! Better than quitting cold! It's like I'm helping them build robot to replace me. Which is sort of what I am doing in a web sense. All the...
