by the way, he's still a little monchichi....

dot-dot-dot

in honor of that dillweed larry king, i'm writing dot-dot-dots for today...

every breakfast should end with a crisp slice of bacon and a taquito... some outtie bellybuttons should never be uncovered... mexico has a beautiful coastline but from the airplane you can see miles and miles that are totally undeveloped... it's nice that so many people here in mexico try to speak english... authentic mexican food really is the best food on earth... i'll never bite half a roasted serrano chili off ever again... i am very pale...

in an unrelated non-dotdotdot story, there was a vendor who passed us on the beach who said "you have a nice honey, you spend money". while i thought this man was either a/a genius or b/prognosticator of prognosticators, i was not poppin his potion. his plata would be hawked elsewhere. thing is, i *do* have a nice honey and i *do* spend lots of money. he could not have been more right...

mejico!

we made the voyage to puerto vallarta today and this place is beautiful!! on the flight down, there was 5 year old or something-- much too old to be crying like he was 1) and this kid was screaming the whole flight down.

we got here and got through customs out to the yellow cab people who hoard around to get you to ride with them to your destination.. our driver turned out to be a mad max of sorts - looking for every opportunity to zig or zag in between slow-moving busses, waving to other taxi drivers, and generally pushing me closer to a coronary:-p at one point, since i hablo espanyole, i felt i should just tell the guy we'd tip him if he took it easy and drove more carefully. thing is, after we got here, jenny was totally excited about having this guy as our cabbie because he got us here superfast. such is life... we all have varying perspectives:)

the resort we're staying at is called "dreams" and it is the shizz. the grounds are all well-groomed, when you walk in, they greet you with glasses of champagne and cool moist towels to freshen up.. just really really nice. everyone who works here either speaks english or gives it their best go. they also always ask if there's anything else they can do to help... all the little things!

we went to the authentic mexican restaurant called "el patio" and the food was muy sabroso! unfortunately, i wanted to go autentica so i tried taking a bite of one of the grilled peppers on my plate. it turned out that they were SORRANO peppers and i'd bit off more than i could chew;) i started wiping off sheets of sweat and crying! it was ridiculous!

at any rate, gotta wrap up for now as its getting late and jennycakes is ready to knock off for today. hasta la vista.... baby.

wrong answer

just called car toys after having talked to them saturday to order an adapter that'll run from my stock stereo to my ipod. turns out the $100 part they had to order is $78 online. their stance?... "sorry buddy, we don't match online prices. if you order that stuff online, you have to live with the consequences and understand that you might not even get the right part."

um so this line may have worked in 1996 when people were generally waking up to an online world but we all buy all manner of product online and (knock on wood) i haven't ever had someone rip me off on an online purchase.

aside from all that, how about just good customer service?? if someone out there is offering the same product -down to the SKU- you'd be wise to match the price and move your product! you're more than likely still marking the stuff up 3-400%!!!

little stinker archuleta

this kid david archuleta on american idol seemed to be endearing and "aww-shucks" at the start of this season but the more i see him do his shtick with his one mic hold/plams-up arm wave, the more sick i'm growing of him. he's also really just boring so it's pretty sure he isn't winning.

here's my simon drawring of d-archuleta:

awesome.

i just experienced something incredible.

i was eating a sammich from the deli downstairs

--the turkey, bacon, avocado-- and i finish the thing,

so i throw away the little paper tray...

and i look on the desk and there's

HALF A PIECE OF BACON ON MY DESK.

i imagine my eyes bulging out like a cartoon, but that half piece of bacon tasted better than the whole sandwich:-p

me and B leading the good times

i got...
2 tickets to paradise
2 tickets to paradise

ok, well, maybe not as cool as that rockin song, but i did get 2 tickets to the m's game tonight so brian and i went on to the 2nd game of the season, froze our bummbumms off, and entertained everyone within a 10 row radius. as i mentioned to him, i truly believe the m's oughta consider like giving us season tix or a booth to do broadcasts.. something! i don't mean to brag but there were a looooooooooootta people laughing. very very fun. throat'll make a full recovery.



who are these numbskulls??

T-Mobile must be very proud of themselves

OK, so after taking them to task here recently, T-Mobile did have my phone arrive by UPS yesterday- just 3 business days after i ordered it. i stand by them sucking though... i called them thursday, friday, and saturday and was told they had no status on whether my phone had been shipped. no status on their website, no email to me... nada. anyhoo, that was at least a half-hearted, throw-me-a-bone effort on their part:-p
